I've dropped in on this saga from time to time over the years, frankly I'm astounded people are actually recieving an actual product, almost as astounded that EFX are apparently still in business? How is this possible?
I have been searching for printable BB-8 body files to use for a project I'm looking to get going with, I want to build a modified hamster drive which requires a smooth interior body. I saw on a youtube video a while back that someone was using modified vonject files that would be ideal for what...
Excellent work. Honestly the most well proportioned IM armour build I've ever seen.
Very interested to see how you handle the pit/elbow/hip/knee gaskets, you don't see many examples of well thought out solutions to those parts, some people seem to ignore them altogether, but I think you said...
I'm not sure how many of the over 1000 people waiting on this helmet are active users on here but to me it'd seem like the right idea to identify the most appropriate part of disney's merchandising team & collectively contact them with the same complaint about efx? Surely hundreds of complaints...
My main takeaway from this & the many threads like it about companies like ANOVOS is that whether by design or by accident, they are taking advantage of people in the prop collecting community who will spend big & wait longer than any reasonable person would for any other product or service. The...
I wish I could say I'm amazed that this is still going on. This is a really special level of incompetence & bad business practice here. The worst part from my view is that they're really taking advantage of the prop collector community here, which is used to delays & sometimes very long waits...
Re: Budget Han Solo ESB from an Unexpected Source
Awesome work on the shirt, it was a great call in the end replacing the collar. I also ended up putting lifts in my boots funnily enough, they were just a little too high but otherwise perfect, if lifts work it's definitely an easier fix than...
To be honest I just bought the first ones that looked like they'd do the job, after a certain point white is white, standard cotton pillowcases and a basic white dress shirt are pretty much the same thing.
I wasn't too worried about matching the shade/fabric because almost none of the shirt is...
Re: Budget Han Solo ESB from an Unexpected Source
Ha nice, I'm glad someone found it useful! Another solution I came up with was for the blood stripes on the pants if you're wondering how to work that part out too.
I know people usually sew on pre-made strips with the stripes, which is ideal...
Re: Budget Han Solo ESB from an Unexpected Source
Great find on the jacket, I had an awful time trying to find an acceptably close match for my own ESB Han attempt last year! I thought you might be interested in an idea I had for the ESB shirt, it only took me an hour to put together & worked...
Just to chime in on the above comment, I also got some very inexpensive rubber riding boots that are practically perfect. I was doing a lot of searching around (amazon etc.) when I happened upon a local equestrian online store that was having a sale, 35 euro delivered ($40 I suppose?). Plenty of...
I think the issue here is some people are holding companies like EFX & Anovos to the standard that they would a guy building props out of his basement, which I think is wrong.
We've all seen it happen where someone takes on a bunch of orders and for whatever reason is unable to get them out to...
Sounds like you want to be posting in the general costumes thread, but in any case you're asking questions which have been addressed by many people on many different builds. I've seen suit cooling discussed a lot in space suit replica threads for example. The search function is your friend
Maybe I'm missing something here, so excuse me, but I'm wondering why people on here are jumping on this helmet now that it's available, despite the apparently poor business practices of the people selling it? I would love a Vader display piece in the 300-500 range, but I'm not about to support...
