Happy birthday Juan!

I think you have to be there. Sorry if this is a tease, it was a heads up for any UK members...

Mark and I have donated a set of CfO ROTJ Stormtrooper Armour which the talented folks of the UK Garrison will be assembling and giving away in a charity raffle this weekend at the National Space Centre in Leicester, UK.
Entry to the raffle is just £2!
Thanks to Gary Hailes for organising this. Have a great weekend folks...
Joe, Mark and Rob

Looking awesome bro!
The TK4510 decals were made for a TE helmet which is very different to mine, so they need cutting to fit perfectly.
We are working on some super accurate silk screen printed ones but they will not be done for a while.
Keep up the awesome work.

Fellas as Stukatrooper will agree - the more you study ROTJ the more you will like it!
I hated them at first but when I was studying them before I bought my first original I was converted. Try studying screen caps and you will see what I mean.

Awesome, Mike's work is superb!

Looking forward to seeing what this looks like. It will be nice to see ANH armour with a clear lineage, no dubious history and no details removed by third parties etc.

Awesome work buddy!

Awesome work A. I love the screen used SW universe look. Top notch.

I owned two original ROTJ helmets and TE visited the archives and saw multiple original helmets and suits. Taking into account the age, there are areas that had not yellowed and it is pretty conclusive that the original ABS had a biscuit tint. I have reproduced this colour on my latest run of ROTJ helmets.
Juan - I can't wait to see this build up!

A few people have emailed for February, but I think we will do something a little more interesting for February. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Post away mate, you don't need permission from anyone.

Finally it is here!
Movie Accurate ABS
We have searched high and low and have found what I believe is the most accurate ABS ever to be offered. Having owned two original ROTJ Stormtrooper Helmets, I can state confidently that this is the closest match I have ever seen. It is 1.5mm non-acrylic capped ABS, glossy but with a nice biscuit hint and very different from the standard satin finish ABS available in the UK.
Suits are available in any thickness from 1mm upwards (6mm maximum but I can't imagine anyone wanting this
) in any colour in HIPS and ABS. For custom colours like black send me an email castfromoriginal@hotmail.co.uk for pricing and availability.The helmet is vac formed from molds taken from the inside of an original helmet that was certified as original by Propstore of London (they own multiple ANH and ROTJ original helmets).
For pricing information please email castfromoriginal@hotmail.co.uk

Gra we have an ANH helmet coming out that will be much better, we have Pantone matched the HDPE to an original helmet reference and have super sharp molds.
Standby for something sensibly priced and super accurate!
Joe

Bump.
I will donate a helmet to you Rolf to do in the SE style. I would love to see you do a build up.
Drop me your address buddy.

Amazing build Rolf. Your are a master of assembly.

So glad to hear this Rolfe. I have a 7 month old son and can understand how you feel about your boy.
Congratulations!

This is great for the community, losing a supposed edge or some sort of superiority over others is why Paul et al are upset.
Midnight and Paul, you both are old timers and both know that every TE 'deal' goes south, I am surprised you were silly enough to buy anything from him. Past deals that you both knew about prior to this as follows, GINO vs TE, AP/GF vs TE, FON vs TE, the list goes on and on.
This was bound to happen at some point...

Agreed all bad, they are recasters, there are much better vendors on here and FISD.
