lots of coolness at end of thread...big update....take a look...
I think that you left the head the Acetone for way too long - you have to shrink the items in stages, just shrunk a pair of BBI boots and had to shrink them three times, same went for my Tarkin head (shrunk three times).I had the same problem with a Tarkin head . It swelled up and then proceeded to disintegrate . I ended up using a resin cast . P.m me for details .
I will be happy to post some pictures but right now I'm on a getaway weekend with my girlfriend and she would kill me if she knew that I was looking at OSW while she was in the bathtub :knock I have shrunk three different set of BBI boots and was pleased with the results so far, although one pair is a little stetchy (used on my D-Day paratrooper so they are mostly covered)I will post pictures in a couple of days. I would like to see how a pair of hasbro Star Wars gloves would turn out. opcornhow do the boots turn out? got a pic? im curious about that....http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/spiderrogue/DSC01382.jpg[/IMG]
Sorry mate , was looking at your pics rather than reading the text ! :dohoh i was talking about the SSC stormtrooper gear...i hadnt had so much issues with the clone stuff...well, the forearm armor is a bit tricky..some sanding down of the body and they go on...but the ST waist armor is a pain in the butt...ive even sanded down a body to where it had holes in the chest/waist....and it still wont fit..im gonna have to break down and buy some bodies..sigh...
I think the armoured body in the pic was the prototype. I just checked my clone troopers and the wrist and ankle pegs are like the ones shown on the prometheus.Why are they so invested in such tiny, fragile wrist-pegs?
The Art S. Buck is definitely Sideshow. It was the main body they used for pretty much everything up until about two years ago. Both the Frankenstein's Monster I bought way back, right up to the X-Files figures and my Endor Pathfinder are on the Buck body.i have one of those buck bodies..but i dont think that its sideshow....
