Cyber Scout Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 As posted on Facebook. HATE YOU! Sorry Dude I'am sure you'll get one soon bud
lonewolf Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Good luck on the build, I look forward to seeing how you manage.
Dart Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Those are really crisp pulls. That's good to see because after doing my Republic Commando this looks like it'd be a piece of cake! Please keep us updated as I'm really keen on seeing how your build progresses. Also, I also hate you.
303trooper Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Look forward to this build. If all goes to plan I may be on the list for one too. Excellent work John. I dont hate you though Andy but hope to see you in it soon..
ukscout Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 you luckly toe rag look forward in seeing how the kit turns out
Boba Leo Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 I will be watching the build of this helmet. Leo
Cyber Scout Posted August 7, 2011 Author Posted August 7, 2011 Hay folks not had alot of time today, but got round to cutting out the back and cap two halfs of the main helmet and sanded, hopefully i'll get the inside parts glued in and the filler done tomorrow you can see what an awesome pull this is even with 3 mm A.B.S.
Chex Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 WANT!!!!!!!! I echo what Dave said..maybe dislike is a better word to use. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out, though we all know it's gonna be awesome.
Chef Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 As I've said over on the G. This is a work of ART!! John, you have lots to be proud of. looking forward to seeing this come together.
Junglie Scout Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Want one..............................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guest Dooku2010 Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 im really looking forward to this build, best of luck with it.
stormsurge Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 This is exciting stuff, John is the master and I'm sure Andi is going to do a cracking job on this, looking forward to seeing it finished!
Cyber Scout Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 Hay ho, just thought i'd put a few progress pics on This is a nice lid to work on and i'am enjoying the build, i'am very impressed with the 80's design, me being an engineer idid not think the film design looked that strong but believe me you can see why the originals have lasted this long lol I've made all the strutts inside the lid exact to the move use ones.(i have the mesurements if anyone needs them) i did have a bit of ABS weld leak ARRRHH but i am going to paint the inside white anyway i've cut down the visor and shaped both sides to fit using the original mesurements Before i start putting the parts in to possition i've sanded the nose down to give it the nice crisp line like the movie scouts This is all the parts taped ready to do all the tweeks and sanding useing film reff shots so i'am happy before a commet to glueing heres just a comparason shot with my beloved K.S.
Eddie TK Head Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 will this be offered for buying? looking great!
Darth Voorhees Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 So sweet! i am SO getting one as soon as they are offered! Nice job on the build so far bro!
Dart Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 That's looking REALLY good! You're making it look super easy to put together and that makes my wallet nervous...
lonewolf Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Great work so far, nice comparison shot. As with everything, this kit should go together well if everything is measured well and you don't rush. Kits will hopefully be made available shortly.
