Just a quick follow-up on the above "Recaster" accusation by Onigiri... so this is technically "NOT" off-topic.
I've been in contact with Jedijeffrey or Jeff (the accused) and he was kind enough to provide pictures of his original "Metal" master's that he uses to cast his "Reveal" greeblies. He cannot speak for himself, as he misssed the last window for registration. So I thought I'd help the guy out and post the info to clear any cloud of doubt that may have been put in anyone's heads ...
In the MSN album, the pictures show how he made his crown (a K-Mart planter's pot that was vac formed over for the base, and pics of the "Steel" greeblie masters that he uses to make his RTV molds ... one of them a real dental expander.
When all is said and done, someone might argue that the steel "Masters" could have been taken from Wolf's resin pieces. I seriously doubt it. But one should ask themselves first, "Why would someone take the time to have them cut out of steel first, when a typical "Scumbag" would just dip the original resin pieces in silicone and call it good". Too many differences in the pieces anyway. Not to mention, Jeff was "Seriously" concerned about his name being slandered over this, so much so that he coughed up the photos in a flash. I've been sitting on them for aboiut 2 weeks. Got the e-mail to show that. My bad there. So I hope this helps.
I normally don't head up for someone I don't know very well, but I don't know of any typical "Scumbag" that would go to the length that he has by contacting me, and the RPF Administration to clear themsleves, when they're not even a member here. So I feel pretty good about it. If in the end I'm wrong, then I'll quote William Shatner in "The Voyage Home" .... "Double dumbass on me" :lol

BTW- I am posting this EBAY link because it is a recast of the parts that were offered. Is JediJeffrey a member here? I'd like to know who he got the parts from and who told him he could recast them...The only piece NOT part of teh deal was that mouth lock, recast from the illusives.

I' ve been tracking this guy's sales and he has done quite well off of his REVEAL kits...
Glad SOMEBODY is...

First and foremost, I figured I'd speak up as I'm also owed the reveal "Parts" as well. I got the helmet waaaaaaay back when, but never the parts. I called it a wash, and wouldn't have even spoke up about it but Onigiri's post about E-Bay user "Jedijeffrey" struck a nerve :lol
I recentley entered into a trade with "Jedijeffery" for his "Reveal Parts" kit as shown in the linked auction ... I was already a bit nervous about it, as I'm trading some of my own parts (original sculpts) of some ROTS Vader items. Now I see this ...
Jedijeffrey is Jeff K. from Utah ... does anyone know anything about this guy? I haven't actually sent my parts out yet, so I would like to be sure what's going on here? Are the parts he sells confirmed to be recast parts from the old "Wolf" kit? Is it possible tat "Jedijeffery" is associated with "Wolf" ?
Any info at all would be great ... PM me if you don't want to talk about it open forum.
Thanks
