Hey Corbin,
About your images...If you can, edit your post and delete/replace all the images in your last post to this string. I have detached them, but I can't edit your post. I will run them through Photoshop and save for web at high/60...that will get the file size down to less than a quarter than they are now and they will display faster. I can send you links to the images in my server space at
http://www.whitecommando.com - plus I think the issues we are having with TDH hosting, as of late, may cause slower image loads.
Now for some notes about the pics...anyone out there willing to work on a custom back half of a soon to be produced helmet, and rangefinder/rangefinder ear-piece to a custom McQuarrie/Johnston helmet? Anyone???? (Judz?)
How about armor, namely chest and abdomen pieces, as seen in the McQuarrie White painting 3-view. I agree, the "rocketeer" type jet pack like GEO's and the McQuarrie cloud city painting could be done cool if the scale was right...but too big...Scuba Fett, or worse...too giant, like Johnston's Mountain Climber Ruck-Sack Jet pack. (Ironically, Johnston was the Director for the Rocketeer.)
Also, notice on the single image of "Boba-Fet" dated June, 1978 that was done by Johnston??? The knees are upside down...just like the images we have seen where Bulloch is in the suit in the Freezing chamber in ESB and his knees are upside down?? Heh???
My goals are as follows... I must say that I like the armor design of the white fett 3-view painting by McQuarrie, plus the Deco-Rocketeer pack like GEO's and a cape like the Fett with Vader image in the Bespin dining room, but not so Poncho-ish. I believe two left gauntlet tops with paired missile housings and tapered undersides may be a good solution for gauntlets. Go to
http://www.whitecommando.com and click the star and see the gauntlets a friend of mine is now making...first pics ever released...exclusively on my site.
I am considering a second helmet beside the beige-striped DP95 helmet ala GEO I have posted on my web site. If we can find a Fiberglass caster that can modify a mould for the helmet back per Corbin Das' schematic, or figure a way to trim out the back of a DP95 and replace with Sintra panels and inserts (WHAT A PAIN!), it would be nice to have helmets of similar structure...especially if those wanting to do a white commando-fett, wish to have some uniformity. In this case, I believe custom Fetts of similar design appearing en Masse...will gain more recognition than sort-of, kinda similar, but not quite the same white Fetts.
Thoughts? Corbin? GEO? CENO? KINDREDJEDI? SLAVEFIVE? JUDZ? <--Umm, anyone wanting White Fett Stuff, send this guy some Chat! Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
Get back to me?
