I was just about to mention you, but I couldn't find you under the handle from the other board. sublevel5 these replica chinstraps are one of the best executed replicas I've seen in a long time. Truly top drawer. Right down to the replicated packaging. A masterful bit of work. Combine the two...

You need to adapt it. I haven't found the correct model straight out of the box yet. I posted the closest I've got in my original thread on the subject. Good luck.

I appreciate that this is an old thread; however, here's an interesting thing. I've never given up on finding the parts for the helmet interior and a fairly recent item that came to me is just that little bit closer. It's still not quite there but it is closer than I have previously got. It...

I watched it live. It went for 360 or 365. The guy really pushed it as hard as he could, but the interest didn't seem to be there. It's a lot of money for parts of the original prop. Even the flare gun wasn't complete. Still, cool thing to have. I was surprised at the relatively low price for...

This was mine in summer '23, which i think was the last time I saw it. It's not in the box it's supposed to be in so I've no idea where I've put it.

Do it!

I'm interested in the choice for the barrel clamps, particularly the rear clamp with the screw into the ring rather than the oft seen two plates coming together. The patina on the gun itself looks pretty worn. Reminds me of my own, wherever it is. It's had a pretty hard life.

I've had some outstanding replicas in my time, and this is right up there with the best of them. Exquisite execution. Well done. Brilliant.

Well done! You got there in the end. It's a marathon not a sprint, and I think you did a corker of a job.

Those are all enamel. You can use white spirit.

It depends on which generation of paint you are using.

This is an excellent discovery after you two did a huge amount of research. I know you've a stack of helmets you've acquired to research this part. Many hundreds of shekels in old junk spent money on trying to work this one out. Thank-you both for spending the time and money so we don't have...

Overall, it's a lot better than I thought it would be, but I'm feeling a certain level of "that'll do" with respect to some aspects. Is that a fair view, or am I being unrealistic? I understand that this is a licenced costume company versus the expectations of dyed in the wool nutjobs, but I'm...

Strange, it has just got chilly. It came with a tracking number, but it only gets me an error message. I'll try it again in a couple of days. After all, what's half a decade among friends...
