My Dinner With Boba & Vader

Tom — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 03:59:03 +0000

A long time ago(1980?) in a shopping mall far, far away (in Macon, GA), I got to meet Darth Vader and Boba Fett. It was prior to the release of The Empire Strikes Back, so it must have been a marketing push to make people aware of the sequel. How silly does that sound now? …

Sharad Hett Costume

I got an email from a 501st/Rebel Legion Tusken friend today asking if I could provide her with costume references for a Star Wars expanded universe comic book character called Sharad Hett.

It’s most likely the last Master Replicas Star Wars product to hit the market and it’s also one of the most affordable. This stormtrooper helmet, dubbed by some the CE, is a UK exclusive but there are plenty of folks bringing them over to this side of the pond. Originally a Play.com exclusive, you can …

Dressing a Stormtrooper

In this tutorial, I explain how I don my Star Wars stormtrooper armor and fight for the forces of the dark side. My armor is what is commonly referred to as “FX” armor. It originated as a fan sculpt, so it’s not all that accurate, but it’s a good size for us larger troopers. I’m …
