Alex, you probably know my thoughts on this before you even read my post.

When you first asked me which version did I think Jeremy wanted recreated, without hesitation I said ESB, the one he remembers when he first donned the costume, not a re-interpretation of it some twenty years later! Believe me when I say this folks, he certainly remembers all the details! ;) That's the ESB version I want to see presented to him on April 7th, the same one I went crazy over back when I was 9yrs old!

THX for asking!
:cheers

April 7th is a monday..;)........

thanks bro.
 
I would have never accused anyone of rigging the poll, I figured it was just a Forum error. The forum has changed drastically over the past few years and this if the first poll in a LONG time; errors can be expected.

I just voted!!
 
How come I can't vote ROTJ? Dang. :)

I prefer getting the costume as close to ESB as we can, with what limited reference material we have. Beyond that, I believe it's completely up to the artist to 'fudge' the details as necessary...within reason.

Vote on!
 
I promise..I didn't set up the voting...I swear....
I too am excluded from voting...:facepalm..what the heck????

I apologize for jumping the gun and accusing you of rigging the polls, at the time I had only heard from the people that had mentioned things before and where some people had already voted, assumed that you had rigged it.

ESB all the way.

I honestly don't know why more people don't do a straight ESB screen version instead of the AOSW. Granted we have better/more reference of the AOSW, but it's still not original.

Specifically for JB project, I think it would be more sentimental to recreate what it looked like when he first wore the costume, not to replicate the condition it's in now. Just my 2 cents.

This guy said it pretty well, Pure ESB All the way vod.

Either way, it's looking great so far! Everyone is doing an excellent job so far! Can't wait to see it all put together :cheers

Well, I voted... BUT I was being selfish, ESB Ref is hard to come by so heck why not have one of the best painters give me that helmet ref.:lol:

Other than that I don't really care which way it goes, Spidey has done an awesome job!(y)
 
I would vote for the ESB screen accurate paintscheme being that it's one of the only two versions of the suit Mr. Bulloch actually wore on film. (The AOSW helmet is actually my favorite version: black splatter, blue marker, crack repair and all). That being said, wasn't that silver scuff on the left cheek right below the rectangle 'supposed' to be on the ESB hero helmet and the latex just didn't get peeled off (but later came off)? The only reason I mention this is that there is a picture of what appears to be an ESB stunt helmet in the book 'From Star Wars to Indiana Jones: The Best of the Lucasfilm Archives' and it HAS that particular scratch. So by INTENTION, that particular scratch IS screen accurate.

By the way, It's lookin' AWESOME Spidey, so just keep doing what your doing!
 
The Jet Pack Is Painted PURE ESB (no matter what FETTPRIDE says ;))
I used reference pics from the movie or prior.

Now, on to the helmet.
here's my opinion;
Who gives a rip?
I mean really.
When all is said & done , is it really going to matter ?
No, it isn't
so lighten up, give it a rest, & move on with your lives.

I feel so much better now that I've voiced my opinion :p
will it make a difference?
no.
 
Looks like I know which direction I'm going.......................ROTJ!!! :lol:...;)

That's how all the cool people wear their Boba's anyway.

I can't imagine for a moment that anyone outside of TDH would even be able to tell the difference between ESB and AOSW.

Heck, at a 501st event a while ago webchief and I were both suited up at different times, and patrons at the museum didn't even realize it was two people! He's 5" taller than me, AND he's got an ESB helmet and mine's RotJ.

So really, quibbling over AOSW vs. ESB just seems sorta pointless to me :)
