  1. yeah, I saw more pics over in the RPF, I love that helmet, you did an amazing job. Mine looks very similar, but it's hard to tell in the above pictures.

    Thanks Mike, I'm still tweeking the helmet when i have time, i did shoot for the weather ESB look but i also put a bit of my own spin of the helmet to perisonalize it. I tryed to lighten up the pictures hope i'm not highjacking.

    I was under the watchful eye of the troopermaster while working on this lid:salute:

    sorry i'm not the best at PS

    BTW your helmet is amazing mike!

  2. I did meet Hide and he was very kind. An absolutely awesome musician as well. Its been like 8-9 years since his suicide. I never would have guessed that he would do that.

    Yoshiki is an odd individual. He was very pampered. Got daily full body rubs from his personal assistant. I had to vacuum his "room" every night after he left. I was not allowed to leave any footprints in the room, so I had to vacuum my way out after completely cleaning it. When he did his drum practice to get ready for the tours, he would come in around 11 am. You could hear the track beaping at doubletime outside of the live room and he would be just beating the **** out of the drums for hours. I was not allowed to watch him practice and they would put up sound barrier walls to block all views. Its funny, in person he was very kind and shy, but behind the drums he was a madman.

    Pata was very laid back and...It seemed like he drank alot, although I never saw him do it. He was always hanging out waiting for Yoshiki. Yoshiki was "The Man" and everybody knew it. So all the band members would show up when he said to and sometimes wait for hours on him.

    I was a production assistant at One on One....also known as a huge pee on. By then X-japan had already bought the studio. I just missed Metallica and all the other great bands that had recorded there by like a year. That was what was cool about working there. Just knowing that all those great musicians had been there. I never knew how big X-japan was until I had been there several months.

    It was a great experience. I wish I could have stayed in Music and Video, but as I said before....Peanuts.

    thats pretty intresting!

  3. After that I went to Los Angeles Recording Workshop to learn pre and post production of video and audio and interned at one on one studios with X-Japan for a year.

    Dude Thats fu*cken awsome You met X in there prime! My band almost had a shot of doing somthing with the drumer from X Yoshiki but never came to pass now he just shows up to con's and is chased by fan girls LMAO! anyway did you met HIDE what was he like? or PATA for that matter
  4. I never being one to miss a chance of adding somthing that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. I myself have done a few indepent flims acting, also in the time i spent in Hollywood in my teens i learn flim editing, sound work, photography. and for a short time i was the assistant to Steve Kaufman.... To those in the art world he was known for being taken under the wing of the famous Andy warhol. I still have some of his art laying around my house.

  5. I say do what you want, unless it's an official event. If this go's threw then

    how long befor femtrooper armor is an official costume of the 501st.... all it takes is one comic book then it's ok?

    I'm not trying to be an ******* but i bust my *** and spend a ton of cash on my costumes. I want to wear the pauldron,ammo packs and look as if i have been in a few wars, So i am gearing up to start work on a TD if your going to do it go all the way.

    And remember two suits of armor are better then one
