I had the privilege of meeting David Prowse a few times. The first time he scared the hell out of me. Not because he was mean, he wasn’t (he was an absolute gentleman), it was more like I was young & star struck (Vader’s my favorite... & here I was freaking meeting him!!). The next few times we met, the ice was broken, so I, a nobody fanboy nerd, peppered him with questions & hung on every word. He was always very gracious with his time with me.
I was sad when I heard of his passing.
That’s a great piece, as always, Ian

Thanks guys, I think I was extremely lucky to pick up a named signed vintage piece like this, yes in-deed he will be truly missed, it's sad we are loosing the OT actors from our childhood.

That's a lovely piece to have in you collection - he was indeed a gentleman, always generous with his time whenever speaking with fans during organised signing events or if you were lucky enough to just bump into him away from conventions.
I can Imagine when someone recognized him in public without that Vader helmet on, It probably meant a lot you know?

Sweet! i got mine in Wollongong for $20. Who is cam and how do i get some of his greebles??Vintage (Hotbox) US Mermite Insulated Food Container
A cool little Mandalorian prop, after seeing Cam's Cameron baby Yoda Travel Container build, I have been on the search locally for one of these vintage (Hotbox) US Mermite Insulated Food Container, we used these during my service & hunting one of these gave my nightmares remembering the tens of thousands of Australian Bush Flys that would swam these food containers, one of the worst memories was eating Mushroom & Beef Strips & not being able to tell the difference between Bush Flys & Mushroom bits aaaah!!! I am breaking out in rashes just thinking about it lol!!
On a serious note, I finally found one (1974) for a great price, now all I need is one of Cam's great light greeblies, Cam your my only hope

Baby Yoda Travel Container - DONE
Since I only have 6 projects going what’s a 7th going to do? That misbehaving baby Yoda is getting his very own time out / seat so the Mando can keep him under control (ish). Oh yea, make it 8 cause I need to build da baby as well.www.therpf.com

RS Lineage Fett Raw Cast Helmet + Metal Ears - S/N W005912
I received my RS Lineage Fett Raw Cast Helmet + Metal Ears S/N W005912 today, very very cool but was bummed to see the condition of the box grrr
Box damaged + inner water damage.
Lucky the guys at RS had heaps of bubble wrap & foam beads protecting the helmet & goodies box, all good looks awesome the guys at RS did an amazing job with the Raw Cast Helmet & Metal Ears and the Stand & Plaque was a nice inclusion, I need to give a shout-out to Rob who attached the Metal Ears.
Now to get the helmet mounted, I picked up a DHPFX wall helmet mount which should work great with my display.

Thanks buddy yeah the wall stand should work a treat.
Maybe yours was the helmet featured in today's RS Propmasters YouTube video demonstrating the figment of the ears
Looks awesome. I’ve got a Machinecraft casting but I’ve been thinking about picking up a set of the RS ears for it.
That would be cool if it was, Rob & the team did an awesome job with these helmets, I am super happy
They are well worth the money, they pop on the dark grey raw cast & look amazing.
