When you start making money off of your hobby, it no longer becomes a hobby, it becomes a business. There is no maybe not involed here. The guy went over the edge and took a bit of ire he has at GINO to a new level by posting that pic. How DARE GINO question "his sculpt"?!

I meant maybe,the picture got him banned! Maybe,it didn't. I know that there was a lOT of cussing,and threats of physical harm,both to Gino,and other people on the forum - not just moderators! For most of the members on the forum this is just a hobby,to me it's a passion! I'm not going to take my aggression out on others through the posts! I'll just let time take its' course,and follow the proper chain of command through following the C.O.C.(forum rules)! I've already had one go around here,I'll not make that mistake again!:unsure
 
He proved it in my eyes. Now, to counter the GINO Vader thing, GINO doesn't give these kinds of pics of his stuff, for whatever reason. There are no super close images of his items.

The other HUGE difference, GINO is not selling any of his Vader wares. He is also no longer offering his Trooper buckets. So, attacking an item that is not for sale is just attacking the person, not the items.

Get your eyes checked then :cool
Seriously go back to the start of the thread look at the birdseye views Gino posted, don't just glance at them actually study them for 5 minutes you'll see where the contours differ.

I'm honestly not saying that TM didn't recast the face it's a possibility i'm just saying from the evidence put forward you can't tell from the shape of the face alone nobody can.
If it is a rework it's been reworked to such a degree it's just not possible to say either way.
We aren't just talking about the odd spot of filler and a bit of sanding.

The only way to say with absolute certainty it's a recast is from tells.
And that evidence isn't consistant either the bump appears present on two helmets and it doesn't even look to be in the same position on Gino's.

As for the other thing well you're a bit select with who should provide photographic evidence about their claims aren't you ?

Gino says TM's helmet isn't what he says it is.
TM better darn well post up some photos pronto.

Someone says Gino's helmet isn't what he says it is.
Gino doesn't share his pictures no problem.

For sale or not for sale it's still about the helmet and it's origins.
 
Note how Gino's posts in this topic have promptly ceased since TM was banned.

Hmmm. The true intent of his attacks now seem evident.
 
Almost, but for a not for sale helmet goes a long way to making myself, and many other users, apathetic about what one person's claims are.

Great well i have a DP tie helmet in the bottom of a cupboard somewhere i'll now say it's from original production moulds that's ok then :lol
 
Defstartrooper-

Are you TM's personal mouthpiece? Not just because he was banned, but you've been his most vocal mouthpiece since this thing started, long before he was banned.

There is no evidence on earth that is good enough for the people who don't want to believe.
The evidence was as crystal clear as anyone could ever ask for in a situation like this, the fact that you or others don't understand the significance of what was shown is not something I know how to fix. You don't understand or recognize just what gravity they held.

This can go on forever from people who just simply aren't interested in the truth of this matter, but are more concerned with seeing a friend, or rather a like minded (pro-recaster) get raked over the coals.

For those who want a recap of why this is a closed case, here is the cliff notes version. Try to keep up.

Now if you find that you are among those who look at the above and still can't see what is obvious to the rest of us, then I don't know what to tell you.
You're never going to get an admission from TM, which admittedly is the only kind of proof that is going to satisfy you.

Put a fork in it, it's done.

One last thing.
I've come to realize that this debate has become more of a case of pro-recaster vs. anti-recaster.

.
 
The only difference that really stands out to me is the cap. Everything else looks waaaay too close to be a custom sculpt.
