Re: Helmet repairs

I would probably use this technique, it's cheap, and works very easy and quick for the little damage you have. http://www.instructables.com/id/Repair-Plastic-Parts/?ALLSTEPS I would actually use painters tape, tape about a 2 inch gap around the crack, sand it, do the above technique, then lightly sa...

Re: Functional Force Pike

Two words: Cattle Prod. It's pretty much already a Force Pike, all you would need to do is modify the stick, maybe taper it, then decorate accordingly, voila, Force Pike. Not to mention that in most places you can just buy a Cattle Prod in your local farming supply store. DISCLAIMER: At no point in ...

Re: My Royal Guard/Shadow Guard Pepakura Budget Build.

It's really funny that you mentioned the skinning idea, as my Father owns a foam manufacturer and supplier, so I happen to have hundreds of meters of 2mm & 5mm rolls in my shed, haha. In fact, when he was over yesterday, he suggested I skin with it instead of mudding it. http://i1153.photobucket...

Re: My Royal Guard/Shadow Guard Pepakura Budget Build.

I got sidetracked this morning, I ended up building a Darth Revan mask, just for giggles, it turned out really nice, so much so that I'm thinking of even adding the resin today.

But back to the RG/SG armor, haha.

Re: My Royal Guard/Shadow Guard Pepakura Budget Build.

I noticed that too, the lip is fairly wide, gives it a significant raise. I intend on making the armor section for the abs tomorrow, then I will see how it fits, I'm hoping the raise is to compensate for something on the ab section. But in the very least, if it isn't, then I have yet to resin anythi...

Re: My Royal Guard/Shadow Guard Pepakura Budget Build.

You would be correct sir, it's due to the stick I have jammed under the one side in order to prop it up for a photo, causes the whole thing to weigh over in one direction, when I have it laid down flat it's nice and even. Regardless, if I find that it doesn't even out correctly on the resin stage, I...

Re: My Royal Guard/Shadow Guard Pepakura Budget Build.

So today I managed to steal an hour or so to build the chest piece. It's the same piece used for the Stormtrooper armor. It required 12 sheets of 110lbs Card Stock, then the usual cut and glue process. Anyway, this is the final result. Keep in mind that this is just the first step, the next parts re...

My Royal Guard/Shadow Guard Pepakura Budget Build.

Hello, So I figured that I would attempt to make my whole costume from scratch, and on a budget (My wife and I just had our second child on March 6th, 2012). I chose to go with Pepakura, I intend on making my Royal Guard Costume first, followed by the Shadow Guard. I will however be making the helme...

Re: Prequel ROTS CRL

So I scoured my Blu-Ray edition (I'll attempt to put some high def screencaps together) and from what I can see in super slow motion with a zoom is that they are indeed wearing an inner robe, however it appears that due to the movement in that scene that the inner robe has a cut up the center for ra...

Carnor Jax Helmet.

Hello, I found this on E-Bay, thought I would post it, as the helmet is really well done, and has some great pictures to it. Plus you never know if anyone is looking for one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/star-wars-carnor-jax-helmet-1-1-prop-EXTREMELY-RARE-/230750803600?pt=UK_Collectables_SciFi_fantasyCol...
