Warning! Do not do business with T*E aka Matt Gauthier - delivery may take months or years. Warning!
I finally received my 2010 _ _ Rotj helmets after a nine month wait. I hope anyone else still waiting for anything will shortly receive their goods also. Anyway i only wanted an ABS helmet to add to my collection and it turns out the 2 kits i actually got are styrene. They have been completely finished off by _ _ and he has started by painting them both in a biscuit colour, to match the off white colour of the helmets used in Rotj. They are also finished using green bubble lens and the decals are printed on paper with the black deatiling stripes all hand cut and stuck on top of the paper decals. Very accurate if just a little bit messy.. The ears are hand painted also along with the frown and vocoder and you see one helmet has been finished with a set of keiths hovi mic tips and the other has none. Not sure whether to add the metal hovi or leave them with the resin version?

for only fact finding & no desire for anything else.
Did the maker re-work the molds again to issue these out?
although as a side note to your first sentance, I'm entering my 2nd or 3rd year aniversry of not recieving the full kit I'm owed. I've given up on waiting & coul'nt care less anymore.
you take nice angled pic's of all your lids 8)

Hi steve I'm so sorry you never got what you ordered and more importantly paid for, that's really sad. This has become quiet frequent from this seller and in my opinion we as a community should try to educate people to no longer deal with him so that other people don't end up in the same situation.
And to answer your q yes I think he has reworked the base mold again, he did keep me updated on a regular basis the work carried out to the whole suit before accepting my money - from then on not a peep.
