the armor was reworked ROTJ the helmets where all ANH

Well done.

true

Some close ups because far off shots don't show everything.

Your to kind i am glad i could be of any help and i do like what you have done with your suit BTW

I wouldn't say i was a master i would say i am good at making a mess I see you did add your own twist to the process the funny thing about the style of weathering i use is there are so many different ways it can come out you never have the same trooper twice. It can even be done to fabrics to give that real been threw battle look. I really need to write a new tutorial on it since i have learned alot since i wrote the first one.... but i am lazy <_<

Interesting thread. I will keep my eye out if it gets off the ground.

I use a rivet in the middle of the belt to hold the canvas in place then i use screws on the egdes of my belts threw the abe plate, This is so if i change my mind and want to adjust the placement of my belt. When i used snaps i found my belt would pop off my armor way to easy while walking around or when my E-11 was holstered.

Well done as always TM!

I would love to get my hands on a TM suit but the Euro to USD is just to painful on the wallet at the moment for me to own one.

Nice!

The best of both worlds only way to go

The Pro's of TK's 1)people seem to love a clean trooper more then a dirty one <_< Since 95% of people only remember clean troopers 2) It's lighter when it comes to trooping. 3)Also cheaper to get an accurate TK going then an Accurate TD 3) you don't have to carry your "BFG" when a holstered E-11 is just fine Con's of the clean tk 1) you don't get all the cool sandy stuff j/k 2) You have to clean your armor after almost every troop unless you think "wonkyiness is close to godliness" I.E the more scuffs and scratches the better just like the film used suits 3) If your in to accuracy then you wearing a pauldron & mag pouches on a clean is a bit of a no no to many but i say do what you want. (also the 501st has now made it ok to do so if you are a EU heavy weapons trooper) 4) being a TK you kind of blend in with the sea of other tk's where TD's get a bit more personality The Pro's of the TD 1) BFG's lol, pauldron's, mag pouches, the backpacks 2) Unlike TK's you never see the same looking sandy twice everyone is different and has something new to offer and has the personality of it's owner showing threw it's armor. 3) You can carry your phone, wallet ID ect. on you where as to a TK doesn't have this luxury 4)Also with the pauldron comes rank (there is a real rank system i forgot what color is what rank to tell the truth lol) so while trooping most people scream there's the captain! lol 5) You look like you have been threw many battles 6) You don't have to worry about getting dirty 7) The boys on the MEPD say the ladys love us Con's 1) That back pack can weigh you down after a few hours 2) Theres no holstering an MG or a Lewis 3) Some events have a problem with your huge gun <_< 4) If moving in a TK is a pain a TD is a bit worse 5) got to watch out for your bee stinger.... well your pack altogether going threw doors ect 6) sometimes your shoulder bell can slip or be pulled down by your pack straps, If your anything like me something falling out of place will drive you nuts If i missed anything i'm sorry

Do a search for Costumejunkie in google you will find a few people unhappy with his work..... also for the price of his finished suit. You are better off buying an accurate suit and putting it together for yourself or hell you can have someone put it together for you and still have money left over.

this link should explain things for you. -----------

well done

that sum's it up you will find way more info on him then you will ever need.

Times like this makes me hate the exchange rate on the usd

I glue the straps to my chest plate and use Velcro to connect the back plate.

you will always be my captain here

FX/GT Galxey trading armor The original FX Helmet and Armor was sculpted by GF or "Follano". AFX is pretty much GT. TE is trooper expert with out him accurate armor would not be possible everything comes from him! AP authentic props. TM Troopermaster a fan sculpt that is amazing!! if i can get the cash flow going i;d go for one of his suits FX armor TE armor

LOL Good luck! 8280:salute:

It has it's up's and downs IMO it's gret for getting your head in compared to the S.D, But it's a pain to cut the extra lip of rubber off and it dosent hold as well as S.D. So gluing the seal to the helmet maybe necessary But on the plus side you can pick up 6 feet for like 12 bucks so it's not like your losing much if you dont like it.

WB next to SD get more then 6 feet if you plan on doing more then 2 helmets
