If you're still taking names, I'll take an aged hero with glass eyes, brother!

I'll take spot 19 with the rope chain.

I'm in for the whole set!

Question, many of the replica costumes I've seen look awkward on the helmet. The helmet doesn't reach as far down towards the shoulders like this one and the film helmets do. Any insight into this?

It's been one of the most consistent items in the club. Jason sent the foam master to me in 2002 for molding and offering them, and I've made four versions over the years, each one with improvements. I make the Generation IV skirt now with threaded inserts for mounting to various bodies and...

Totally agree about orange peel IF it is sprayed right but even seasoned painters always get it. One trick is to add more reducer than the mixing ratios require. Additional time between coats is required to allow the solvents to flash but it will flatten the clear better. There are also...

If the shop only sold you reducer with the color, it's just a base coat. While it will appear glossy when sprayed, it will turn flat. Typically base coats are mixed 1:1 with reducer. They require a clear coat to give them gloss and to protect them from the elements. I would also definitely do...

A slight deviation from what was said about not clear coating the black base coat. 1. Base coat is never glossy. A "base coat" is always flat and must have a clear top coat applied over it. In single stage paints, there is no base coat. The gloss is in the color and it is not considered a base...

That certainly is an understandable reasoning. I tend to take it at face value, especially considering GINO's history with the Vader character.

Apparently not, otherwise I would not have asked. ;)

This is an interesting response. GINO said that he has seen the machine drawings that the tusks were made from in the OT productions. When citing a source, which is what I think you are asking for (correct me if I'm mistaken), a person's first-hand knowledge and experience IS the citation. The...

You, sir, are a fine human being!! These are exactly what I'm looking for! I don't need full droids, though having the files will come in handy. Since my display will be kind of a junkyard of droid parts, such as what's seen throughout the films on the Sandcrawler, Watto's shop, and around the...

To GINO you listen.

Please refrain from posting sarcastic responses.

I am putting together a droid display, similar to what is seen on the inside of the Droid Depot at Galaxy's Edge. I've got all of the R2, R5, BB-8 style droids taken care of but I'm trying to locate 3D printing files for other random droids, such as 2-1B, pit droids, K-2SO, battle droids, etc...
