Updates,
and News
[Update 18-May-2006]
I've been working on some decals in Adobe Illustrator. If you need some X-wing helmets, or some TIE pilot cogs, let me know. These are custom made, and not copies although references were made from low resoultion jpegs found online. These can be printed and used to decorate your helmets, dorm room, car, or what ever. I'm making a 300dpi TIF version available for download. If you want an Illustrator file, just ask! Please do not redistribute these logos.

Right-click
on image to download. Choose 'save target as'.This will send the
file to your hard drive. Please note, these are TIF files, and
are rather large. You will need an image editor to convert them.
Some scaling will need to occur, size is 7.5x10.5 Each TIF is
a little over 400kb. LZW compressed using a Mac. These aren't
perfect replica version, they are not suppose to be, but rather
represent what I saw on screen. If your browser does not support
.TIF rendering, you will not see the images if you just click
on them. |

Prop Parts Just what you need to finish that prop replica. The devil is in the details. |

Need some stormtrooper helmet tube stripes? Here you go! I made these in Photoshop , and have provided 2 version. Enjoy. You can print them out using some special ink-jet paper called Rub-Down Decal paper, available here. |
 |
Here is my version of the "Blue Harvest" Logo. If you are not familiar with this, it is the logo worn by the film crew while working on Return of The Jedi to keep attention away from the Star Wars production. Its made large so you can print 10.5x4 inch T-shirt transfers. Not 100% accurate but close. DPI will need to be raised to 300. |
| I
created the Photoshop [.PSD] version of these images based on low
resoultion .jpg and gif images found on the web. Many thanks to
the artists who created the originals. I am offering the PSD files
here for download for the first time in the higher quality formats,
but the file size may be large. The morie` pattern origin is based
on the old Edmund's Scientific version, origins unknown. |

| TIP:
Soda Bottle TOS Tricorder Screen |
|
| |
From time to time I find TOS tricorders, either poorly assembled by either young eager amature fans, or by an adult with poor prop building skills. Missing or "messed up" on many of these tricorders is the "view screen". Trying to find this clear plastic part has been a real challenge, until I noticed how the upper portion of a 2 liter soda pop bottle has a near perfect arch. After trimming a Coke bottle, I have anough material for 3 or 4 TOS tricorder screens. |
| |
Trim a rectangle out. make sure its 1/2" larger on all sides than the actual screen. The red rectangle shows the approximate size and position. Be sure to clean the bottle out, and use a sharp knife. Be careful. Also, inspect the bottle for scratches or other imperfections. Paint the "inside" with a primer gray, or Krylon Smoke Gray. Glue, and your done. |

|
 |
Click here for Phil G.'s aka Blaxmyth's [RPF screen name] photo gallery of cool vac-u-form molds. Phil has a great technique for making vac molds from MDF, and a grinder. I even heard that he can make it from particle board! His craftsmanship is a real treat to view. Take a look at his frames! looks like cabinet work to me. He has been known to use coal fired oven to heat his plastic! Phil has helped me get started in vac-u-form molding. His motivational words got me off my duff, and into the workshop. He is a really good guy to ask for help regarding his vac-u-form project. |
