Paul,
Once again, I am speechless! WOW, what a set of armor you have there! I just wish that some day, I can get mine as accurate as yours, but that is not likley! Simply the best. I wish I had a set of yours!
Kudos, and all hail the master of the stormtrooper armor!
Thanks for sharing, some outstanding pictures!
Jim |

Man that's NICE!!!
Looks like you stepped right out of 1977! I assume it's made of styrene and not that nasty ABS stuff, yes?
Oh, if you're that unhappy with it, you can send it to me for proper disposal.

Thanks guys
The armour is made of .100 HIPS,but once the new oven is up and running I'll be making it from a very flexible material.I still have to test a few other materials,but the one I like so far is virtually indestructable |

As far as I know, Paul has spent the better part of the past 5 years working, and reworking his scratch built molds, making the most accurate version of the trooper armor yet done. Not a recast, but a scratch built set!
All hail the master! |
