***The Worlds First Chromed CFO ROTJ Stormtrooper helmet!!!***

[sskunky]

Hi guys,

I thought you would like to see what I have been up to this week.

I have been making Indiana Jones Golden idols for here and a couple of other forums and whilst I was at the Vac Metalizing company that did the original Idols and C3P0 coincidentally I thought why not get a TK lid chromed!

Well it's not completely finished yet but you get the idea.... I haven't decided yet about decals.... What colour etc??? Or none at all??

What do you reckon?

 

[Rikarus]

holy freaking awesome!!!!


I would paint the teeth and rank on the ears, and go no decals myself.

I love that. Love the idea of a fully chromed storm trroper that would be awesome.

looks meaner than a shadow trooper! often wondered what it'll look like. add a red led to the right eye lol..but seriously, fantastic. id leave it as is.

Sskunky...i gotta PM coming your way.

Lookin' SWEET! thumbsup

VERY 70's! I LOVE CHROME!!

I did a couple roughs up for you to look over. What do you think?

 

[sskunky]

Thanks guys.

I think this takes it from film prop to art piece. I think a full suit of armour would look amazing and I am thinking about it.
I reckon a full piece in a gallery would look awesome.
Maybe people not as geeky as prop collector but more art collectors would like it. In a minimalist apartment would look very cool.

How about one gold tooth?!

 

[SmilingOtter]

Good job! Maybe it'll stop blaster bolts now...

 

[DarthGM]

Love it!

According to EU Canon, aren't RadTroopers decked out in Chrome Stormtrooper armor?

 

[Metalfire]

Wow that is an awesome lid! I would love to see a fully chromed trooper! I can't imagine the look on someone's face if they saw that walking down the street. But then again, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a display piece. Again, love the lid! Great idea!

 

[Rikarus]

a fully chromed trooper would blind everyone at the D-Con Parade!

HOLY CRAP THIS IS AMAZING. I wasn't sure what I'd think when clicking on the thread, seeing the title, but as soon as I saw it, I wanted one.

^ THIS. Especially a full suit, just casually chilling in a corner... like an updated yet still somewhat retro incarnation of a suit of armour!

 

[closet geek]

thats to cool. would make a good trophy top too.

I'd like to imagine the Empire gave those helmets to any of the stormtroopers who survived the first Death Star explosion. Looks pretty damn cool.

 

[boodha]

Shiny!

 

[BLAST]

Very cool. My vote is for the solid black where the paint or decals would be. :thumbsup

"NO, not 'clonetrooper,' I said 'CHROMETROOPER!!'"

They give me a good look at what is possible without the pain factor!

I think I like the plain black version.......
