TD-1536 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 At Shoreleave this year (Sci-fi con held in Baltimore MD), Seth and I presented 501st founder, Albin Johnson, with a few new toys. First up, was a new Sandtrooper helmet, made by Tony Guns, flown from Hawaii to Seth in PA. Seth painted the authetic paint chips and white top coat. It was then handed to me for finishing, painting the details and weathering. Seth also made up an engraved name plate for the custom helmet stand, and an engraved beer mug with his name and TK number. Here's some pics I took of the helmet before leaving the house.... And here's some pictures taken by Phil Moy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arppegio Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 That was truly awesome! Beautiful finishing job by Mike! If anyone has video to digital conversion available I have a VHS copy I could send so we can have the video posted up. Yeah that helmet was just sweet lookin. ****, all four of the buckets sitting on the table were great looking too, lol. But that was definitely a nice lookin bucket indeed. He looked really happy with the gift. Glad I was there to be part of the festivities. Was also cool meeting you, Seth. Did the video turn out okay? Not too much camera shaking, I hope. Also, sorry about a couple of the jump/skipping shots. Mostly though I was a little concerned about the sound. I wasn't sure if the mic picked up Albin's voice.

SethB6025 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 The video was great, and thankfully it did pick up us talking, and only minimal talk about soccer. Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SethB6025 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 No, you actually can't hear much of anything except if you listen close you can hear *someone* say "France sucks". Which, in retrospect is true enough since they lost that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
