The original sculptor of the Stormtrooper?

[Too Much Garlic]

Cool... thanks for showing the pictures. Muir definitely looks nothing like I had expected... though, he looks like a nice man.

Great photos, thanks for posting them.

Those are great pix.

..but man, those Troopers are getting old.

 

[gonk27]

Actually I was thinking the same thing. The Old Troopers Home must be getting pretty full

If anyone happened to get contact info or a card for Brian Muir, please PM. I want to ask him about his work on non-Star Wars movies. Many thanks.

great pix, I wish those troopers would attend a con on our side of the Pond at some point, I'd really like to take a pic with a REAL Stormtrooper...

Yeah they are looking long in the tooth aren't they I have met other that aren't quite as old though. Richard Bonehill still looks pretty good considering he's pushing 50. He's a swordsman though so I'm guessing he keeps in shape.

Background actors, stunt people and prop people are FAR more interesting to meet in my opinion. They have more time for you and usually have a cool little story about the their time on the films.

Bonehill for instance told me that he had lost count of the times he tripped down the steps on the Bespin set (where they capture Leia and Chewie) in full trooper garb. He had to concentrate how many steps it took because his vision was so limited.

Both he and Lightning Bear said that the trooper lids were pieces of crap too Not a patch on the fan made replicas of today.

Pity they didn't pinch one, they could retire

Thanks for the comments guys.

:lol The RPF is FAR from a democratic environment. As a matter of fact you really must watch what you say here. Say something really $hitty about MR and see what happens... :lol

So true. Or say something good about Jeff Parks. Same deal. They'll tear your head off before they ban you, delete your posts (or edit them to say something you didn't say), and remind you that speaking truth (sorry I meant speaking anything against the concensus of RPF opinion) is not allowed here.

This thread has already gone south once but I managed to claw it back with useful informtation and pictures.

No offence, but if you want to b*tch about stuff like MR or Jeff Parks, do it on your own thread dude.

Don't tarnish mine.

Cheers.

Steve, thats a couple of times you've said that. I really dont think this thread did "go south" and TBH you're going to have to expect that people will disagree with each other on certain things, but hey thats what a forum is all about.

Earlier on there were a couple of daft comments which people know to be false (like AA only doing the trim) so others post a response. Its not unreasonable for people to respond where they disagree with a statement, it doesnt have to be agressive and I dont think this thread has been.

If you look back I think a lot of useful info has come out of this thread-so well done for starting it.

Cheers

Jez

Hi Jez

Yep, you're right.

My apologies guys. Just caught me at the wrong moment

It's the daft comments that pickle my onions. Got no problem with discussion

All the best.
