Tuesday 16th February - Bit of a Stormtrooper update with Tobias' excellent Oakley ESB helmet (see Armor/Oakley) In that same section you can also see pics of MoogyBaby's very cool looking RotJ Stormtrooper helmet. I've also added some new shots of the new RT Mod Helmet which is looking really good (see Armor/RT-Mod). Note that I'm going to be doing some chroming next week if anyone needs their C-3PO heads plating! Also  added a couple o pics of the DP Lifesize Stormtrooper, as well as Godzilla's excellent AOTC Naboo Pilot Helmet (see Fans/Rebels). See also DarrienVader's convereted Don Post Classic Action Tie in the Don Post section and finally MoogyBaby's superb full size Vader (see Fans/Vader/ESB)

AUCTION NEWS - Regular contributor Chris King Yoda and ANH Stormtrooper sold within a couple of days - both times to Buy It Now's. I did say they were hot!! 

Previous Updates: Sunday 1st February - I've updated some of the background information in the Real/Stormtrooper section following a meeting with Andrew Ainsworth at his factory in London. There are a number of interesting projects going on in the SW Prop World and hopefully I'll be able to provide some interesting information come early March. Note that the recent rumour about Master Replicas producing Stormtrooper Armor has now emerged as completely false. Updates today include an excellent Death Star Gunner helmet from Jorid (see Fans/Other Imperials), new RotJ armor from Movie FX (Armor/MFX) and I've tidied up the Links section.

13th January 2004 - Big update! I've added some comparison shots done by Chris King of the "Type 2" JB ANH Helmet. Essentially is shows that the face part of the Vader helmet seen in ESB was probably an ANH. I've also added Thomas' (from NEG) impressive montages of the Four different screen-used ANH helmets (and some fan made ones too). Lots of detail here so take your time. There also a couple of new shots of Darth Jones' stunning ANH Vader one-off. I've also added a number of photographs of Helmets and a Jetpack made by MLC. Check them out in the Fans/Jango Fett and Fans/Boba Fett sections. In addition theres MLC's WONDERFUL Battle Droid (Fans/Droids) which you've just got to see. Finally I've updated the Real/Stormtrooper section splitting ANH/ESB away from RotJ/SE (getting too big) and added/updated a couple of shots. phew!

6th Jan 2004. No big news yet but some really awesome pictures of what is probably the best "fan-made" ANH Vader ever produced. Unfortunately its a one-off but there's still some nice shots to look at, see Fans/Vader/ANH. Also added some new pics of JB's Vader Projects (ANH and ESB) and the Chroming Page now has its own icon. Also minor updates to the Real/Stormtrooper page to reflect current beliefs over the forming materials used.

Tuesday 23rd December. Not much happening (it is Christmas), although hopefully something interesting very soon. I've updated the Christies ESB trooper page with the final hammer price ($33k!) see Real/Trooper and also added shots of the recent ESB Vader helmet by Profiles in History which went for a whacking $70k (Real/Vader). Thanks to Braks Buddy for also updating some of the real trooper pics (better definition). Also added some shots of my superb new TIE armor (Fans/TIE).

Sunday 7th December. Big update to the CHROMING PAGE with lots of pics of my latest exploits in Vacuum Metallising.  have to say I am stunned wit the quality of the finish which its simply superb. I've also updated Chris Kings stunning ANH Vader and hope to be adding some additional pics soon too.

Tuesday 2nd December: Some new pics of Kanji's JB ANH Vader, as well as a couple of it combined with a Ghost Host dome to produce the best A New Hope Vader ever! See Fans/Vader/ANH. Also added some shots of Glen's new RT-Mod Armor. I've also added a number of shots of Eddie Vader's superb Oakley RotJ Stormtrooper helmet.

Saturday 29th November: Big UK get-together at Memorabilia, a great opportunity to meet up with a lot of good friends.  In addition I've also added 3 more photo's of John Mollo's ESB Stormtrooper helmet to the Real/Stormtrooper section.

Thurs 27th November. More original ESP trooper pics added. Looking for Xmas presents? - John Mollo's selling an original ESB Stormtrooper helmet this Christmas. Just a single photo at the moment but hopefully more to come. See the ESB section of Real/Stormtrooper and many thanks to Christies for these great images.
