Guest TD832 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Myself and 2 other members of the NSQ German Garrison finisched our bark troopers off this march heres a few pics of them knowwing that the bark trooper was only cgi is was a bit of a job to try this out we were not going for 100% movie cannon but a very good armor ( so good that the other troopers know what we are ) we modified parts from biker armor clone armor and a helmet which i got from the big e haus the vest pouches boots and softparts are off the shelf military items a few of the armor parts were made from scratch out of wood and then vacformed we were using nerf guns to give it a bit of a kick but we do also have dc 15s long rifles i can post loads more pics if anybody likes to see more or i can explain what we did to all the armor parts ive just come back from germanys biggest event were we met up with a few other garrisons french swiss italians etc etc and i had quite a lot of good remarks about the armor i decided not to ost the pics in march here as i was a bit aware that others are trying to build the barc armor as well to a higher and better standard but hay im mostproplby the first to have done a decent 100% armor costume ansd sommebody has to start the ball rolling i know that after this one of mine there will be many more a lot better ( just like what happend with our trooper armors ) i hope you all enjoy the pics jay TDTA-832 ( hopefully BC-832 soon ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TD832 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 oh here we go you been reading posts over on the clone empire as well i have nothing to prove here if you want to call me and the other two members liars go ahead listen if i recasted everything i would not be so dumb to post pics of it here funny thing is nobody was botherd about the barcs untill i put one up on ebay do you know how many guys pmed me asking me to do them akit here and have they got one NO so much for mass production if i wanted to earn quick cash with the barc i would have done it long ago and there would be a lot more barcs running about in the world now god i think some guys have proplems we are all recasters ask uncle lucas what he thinks about guys copying kits from his films oh thats good you just joined up here a couple of minits ago just to ask me all these questions most properbly your mates put you up to this did they Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nzjedi Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 god i think some guys have proplems Yes, if you're referring to the blatant theft of an artists work, I'd say you are right. Some people have problems. In fact I'd say that's an understatement. You may just find that the problem you have, could become a problem for your entire garrison. I hope you like rubies helmets my friend because, you have just been blacklisted by a whole lot of helmet makers, and I hope anyone reading this thread thinks at least twice before dealing with you. Have a great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TD832 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 oh wot more threats towards the whole of the German Garrison listen just get intouch with the CO of the GG and tell him your threats against the Garrison this is blackmail and mafia tactics are we at war or is this a hobby ??? why rubies there is always SFP or ebay dont you see that you are slitting your own throats by putting a sell ban on GG members or any members of the 501st for that they will just run off to ebay or SPF or anywhere where they can get a helmet or costume dont you see that do me a favour and ask your mates who blacklisted me if i have ever bought a helmet from them in the last 6 years that i have been a member of the 501st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nzjedi Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 What part of this hobby includes STEALING from fellow members? This is not blackmail, nobody wants your money. The ONLY person in the wrong here is you. The negative attention you are experiencing is due to you selling recast work on ebay. The best thing for you to do now is to destroy your stolen moulds and stop your ebay auction. edit, Yes you are right, you can use SFP if you want to deal with a known paedophile and fugitive. That you would do business with such an individual, speaks volumes of your character. But, then we already now you're a thief, how much lower can you stoop? Destroy your stolen moulds, stop your ebay auction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TD832 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 why stealing i paid for my helmet over on ebay how do i know that it was not a recast already ??? by the way i know of some guys who have had kit from SFP are they lower characters as well you sure do like to judge guys before you even know them that speaks alot about your character but lets not get personal its a hobby remmber that in blackmail i meant sending a mail to our CO and in more words than one telling him to stop or get rid of me or there would be a selling ban on the GG thats blackmail to me mate and if thats how you want to work fine by me but i will not stoop to your level no your wrong here i got the helmet from ebay the armor parts were modified biker armor parts and clone parts molds were made from mdf and gips i have written all this in my post on the barcs here does it upset you so much that i am selling a barc armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nzjedi Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 why stealing i paid for my helmet over on ebay how do i know that it was not a recast already ??? You received stolen goods, and are making illegal copies. Destroy your moulds, stop your auction Here it is in German law even. Section 259 Receiving Stolen Property (1) Whoever, in order to enrich himself or a third person, buys, otherwise procures for himself or a third person, disposes of, or assists in disposing of property that another has stolen or otherwise acquired by an unlawful act directed against the assets of another, shall be punished with imprisonment for not more than five years or a fine. (2) Sections 247, 248a shall apply by analogy. (3) An attempt shall be punishable. That violates the 501st charter on conduct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
