Give me a couple days (feel free to nudge me if it's slipped my mind) and I'll scan the sleeve for you @1:1!

reelprops are you in touch with Curtis?

It'd sure be welcome, but it's hard to imagine how that happens at this point. It's been a looooong time since he's replied to any attempts to connect by email/messages. Never spoke to him by phone etc, and we're thousands of miles apart.

He still has my production-made helmet which he borrowed to mold as a compliment piece to this pack, too. Curtis had such a consistent reputation for quality here, delivering complex projects like this one on a regular basis. I'm sorry he crashed and burned on this one - I really trusted that...

Your take on the story makes sense, I definitely get feeling it was unnecessary or undermined what we've had in our heads since the early 90s. The last bit though, that's objectively not what happened to bring the movie about. The studios didn't see it as a moneymaking opportunity, but said no...

I think you have some killer details to carry over to a case build there! The straps, handles, and especially the "DOUBLE LEVER" lock are terrific. I don't know that you've got a base with close dimensions among those three though - what are the sizes? As for color, I think it's easier to start...

Magnoli's glasses are always well-done - and it's worth noting that the closest authentic ones to ever come up on eBay are the amber or yellow translucent frames, where the screen-worn glasses (like Magnoli's replica) are clear. The difference in price might be worth it to some if the authentic...

Hi Emma, I do - my impression of it is that the main body is dark brown. Always happy to be proven wrong on prop details, of course!

Don't know how I missed this - I'd love to be included.

Thanks for the arm tips! I’ll check out that link. I’m actually curious to know what size hydraulic line/hose (braided steel sleeve) you’ve settled on for the skull, and which ball joint linkage you’ve used for the rear side mount behind that. I’ve picked up a couple hoses, but both seem too...

Digging through your facebook posts, it's difficult to find the part numbers - and, importantly, proper sizes - for some of the pieces. I would love to attempt this arm, though! Any chance you'll put together a master parts list? Have you found the outer knuckle parts? The round discs? I LOVE...

This is one of the greatest builds I've ever seen! I didn't realize pewter could polish up so bright! What size were the Kwik Links and ball bearings for the eyes? Could you tell me more about the hose and connectors running from the ears to the collar? Amazing work - can't wait to see it...

I'm not a pre-order customer, so my vote should probably count less than that of others here. I do intend to pick one up eventually though, and for what it's worth: I'm with Bingo - there ISN'T an "ideal" GB1 patch available anywhere with the accurate approach to materials and embroidery...

Not sure how you usually cast these, but any chance you could cast the chin/jaw and face in separate pieces, each with a tiny bit of overlap across the line? Thinking this could make a lovely reveal... Really beautiful ROTJ shape!

Interested pending price - is there potential to do a metal 3D print instead of plating resin?
