Shepperton Design Studios
Just got off the phone with a nice lady at Shepperton Studios - the folks who made the original Stormtrooper helmets. Apparently they have this Battle Spec helmet in stock and can ship as soon as tomorrow. I'll remain skeptical until I actually see it in my hands - have been bitten once - hope it wont happen again but you never know. Have already sent mail twice but no reply...
I'm excited about this helmet as the Armor FX is just too big - folks who eat sleep and poo Starwars will tell you that the Armor FX just looks wrong and I'm telling you first hand - its wrong! I suppose the person who designed it made it on the large side for folks with large facial parts? Have a look at the comparisons - the Armor FX is the one on the left.
The Battle Spec cost an arm, a leg and a little finger - ended up paying 62,000 yen yen for it.
Was thinking of taking the both of us to Hawaii late Feb - not sure what the weather is like out there at this time of year. Any recommendations?
I'm looking to take flying lessons and enjoy sun sea and sand - or does Hawaii have a rainy season at this tiime of year?

WOW! Danny Choo an aspiring pilot too! Too cool!
Let us know when you go solo... I'm sure you'd be able to take many beautiful pictures in the air... just don't forget to trim the aircraft before you start snapping away!
Cheers!
