Well at Dcon 2002, I was talking to the lady who ran the masquerade and she said Anthony Daniels will be the masquerade host for 2004. <p><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.dewbackwing.com" target="top"> <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://dewbackwing.com/dewbacks/files/dbwbanner.jpg " style="border:0;width:500;"alt="Visit the Dewback Wing’s homepage"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> </a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></p><i></i>

I wouldn't use the strips because they're much too weak. You'll probably want to hunt down some stonger magnets and mount them inside the mask if you're going to go with that route. I know on the original C3PO mask by LFL, they used screws to attach the two parts together; ABS was used on the chest, torso and legs; aluminum was used for the arms; and space gold blanket on the back of the knees. Have you picked up the Masterpiece book with figure from Waldenbooks? It's on sale for under $20.<br><br>edit: www.entertainmentearth.com has some C3PO masks on sale!!! Ooooooooooooo. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub118.ezboard.com/bmidwestgarri ... enVader</A> at: 1/14/03 4:20:41 pm<br></i>

You'll need to learn to spell correctly first! Of course you could always say that you had a short circuit. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p> "Open the blast doors, open the blast doors!" </p><i></i>
