Just an update... progress stopped due to the holidays and then I went to the pound with my wife to "just look" at the dogs they had. Now all my free time has been taken up with training my new puppy and keeping her out of trouble. Hmmm... I wonder what mando dog-armor would look like...

Just wanted to let everyone know I didn't drop off the face of the earth. Didn't get squat done on my bucket during the holiday weekend. I'm to the point where I'm ready to add the triangles and the dent, but I'm reluctant to start without knowing exactly where to put them. I tried making ear...

'member when Carrie Fisher didn't look like one of your mom's friends? :lol:lol::lol:lol:

A couple more: 'member playing this on atari 2600?: 'member waiting in line at the arcade to play this?: For trip down memory lane here is a history of SW video games: http://www.videogamecritic.net/starwars.htm

I can't believe no one has posted this yet: 'member when Han Solo shot first? :) I'm a noob, so I can't add to the board nostalgia, but I do: 'member when I could look at a Boba model or bucket at a store and not identify at least 10 inaccuracies in 10 seconds. 'member when my friends...

Very nice and very Star-Wars-esque.:thumbsup: It wouldn't look out of place in the movies at all to see an interior like that.

The batting helmet: Glued up: Bondo'd and sanded: Side view: Detail showing how I tapered the bottom: From the side view pic I was thinking that the T Visor slit is too wide, but the more I look at it, the more I think I need to extend the slit out a little bit more (which will...

Yeah, living in Southern Cali with Universal Studios, wax museums, not to mention actual film productions, etc, I've seen tons of film props and my reaction is always the same... "I can't believe that actually looks real on film." Props always disappoint me in person. I don't have the...

I used to be a purist and personally only considered the movies to be canon (i.e. I rejected the expanded universe entirely)... but now Lucas has messed with those so much that you'd even have to make a value judgement about which of the theatrical releases, special editions, or DVD editions...

Thanks for all the encouragement guys! Okay, I went to "Play it Again Sports" (used sports equipment store) and all their batting helmets were 50% off. Prices ranged from 7.99 to 29.99, so of course I bought a $7.99 helmet that cost me $4.30 with the discount and tax. It was an adult size (6...

As you might have guessed, my name is Josh. I went to USC and listened to a lot of gangsta rap music (we were in the 'hood afterall) and bought a T-shirt with Ice Cube on the front. One of the guys in the dorm started calling me "Josh Cube" or just "Cube." That was 1993 and it stuck. I used...

Hmmm... maybe my offer to do one for $150 isn't that far-fetched afterall. :D Anyone willing to take a chance on my first one turning out great? :wacko Anyone?... Anyone?... Bueller? I could sure use the practice!

I'll do it for $150 plus shipping :wacko.... of course I've never painted one before. :lol:

And you didn't inhale, right? :p:)

:confused I don't know yet... I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a hardhat laying by the side of the road during my commute to and from work. :) I will probably end up doing it with strips of Sintra. Well, I found two conflicting sites. One said that you mix first and have to work fast. Another...
