ADD 12fish34 to the RECASTER list

Anyone know the story on his Royal Guard helmets? Are they just DP copies?

hey Jon, this guy has been mentioned over on TDH

I have actually emailed him a while back to question him abt it - he says its a scratch build project. But then why call it a MS-1? My eye really isnt into Fett lids, but THAT isnt a MS-1.

He is also now going into full production with royal guards, phase II clone lids and predator masks as well. the phase I lid is a new one to his stable.

the thing that always makes ME chuckle is this line (its in all his adverts)

"....Helmet is cast in 5 layers of Smooth Cast 300 "PLASTIC" not cheap resin..."

yeesh just saw the price as well - might as well get a nice fan-built one for that price. Heard some unknown prop builder called C6 used to make a fairly decent lookin one ;P

sorry to say, but as economy starts to tank - theres gonna be more and more of this.

Really? So how long of a time period are we talking about here... months, years, decades?

I personally haven't had any problems with Smooth Cast 300 products warping in the five years I've been using them... unless a batch was old or improperly mixed.
 
Yeah and he bought a EFX helmet from another user on Feb. 17th im sure thats the one he recasted and he also bought a prop makers molding and casting guide...
i notice he also offers a predator bio mask now too Im sure thats not his to cast either......
 
At this point, I think it is safe to say that they are ALL recasts. I doubt this guy does any original work.

I didn't look at his buying pattern, but I guess that says it all!
 
Why does it say in the description "1-off" fan made, then he says that there are 10 available? What a punk.
 
Unfortunately I did not see this thread until I had just "won" one of his Royal Guard helmets from ebay. I should have known it was a recast. And let me tell you it's a pretty nasty copy with dirt and hair embedded in the cast that you can actually see. Quite disgusting.
 
on one of the listings he has "501st approval"

approval of what?

12fish34 (http://myworld.ebay.com/12fish34/) seems to be offering four MS1 copies concurrently. The materials used - Smooth Cast 300 - is the same as what he uses in his other stuff, so I do believe he's making copies.
