  7. Things to consider before buying armor

    in Getting Started - Read this First!

    link not working removed

    The FX is an Ideailzed fan scuplt, Not to say fan scuplts are bad we have seen troopermasters work and it is amazing the FX is just off on those flim detials. To me it seems like it is missing somthing

    ---------

     

    All the detials are missing from the FX suit. hope i'm not insulting anyone. :unsure:]

    The chest plate

    the abe plate has the bottons made into the suit so you would have to buy a kit to go sandy

    theres no real shape to the legs IMO

     

    But for what it is worth it's still a great suit, not everyone is movie sized.

    and to people on the street they have no clue theres a differences in the armor ;)

    umm yea lol i think he also told me that it wasent trimmed?

     

    im not sure what that means but i cant trim it

     

    and i would need ALOT of help to make it lol

     

     

    yeah that FX set comes trimmed and ready to be glued together you will be fine. If you can't do it on your own i can always do it for you, or walk you threw it easy don't worry about messing up thats a part of life trust me theres a few spots on my armor that messed up i just hide it well! LOL

    Where all here to help as best we can. here is a link to the glue Btw

     

    -----------------

    You can get helmets with no armor.... lol helmets by them selfs.

     

    AP, AHN

     

    I would send a message to RBJ, he has been buying helmets right and left, and would be able to hook u up. Then agian if you have been talking to Chazz, then you need no other information clearences.

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Bah with talk like that a guy might get an ego in here :lol: lol

    What was the info he gave you on the suit if its trimmed down then theres not much we can do.

    Current consensus is that there was no rhyme nor reason on Lucas' part for the sandtroopers - there was a bucket of pauldrons and they were put on for what looked best cinematographically. Missing pauldrons were probably not a worry as they were in the background. Lack of packs on some was due to stunts (e.g. tumbling after being shot), or like the lack of pauldrons due to budget/background issues.

     

    There is not a single shot of a stormtrooper (with wedge knee plate, drop boxes, etc.) in eps 4, 5, or 6 with any item from the the sandtrooper panoply. And, since this detachment focuses solely on canon stormtroopers, this is why we don't endorse such extras.

     

    <breathe>

     

    That said, it's your costume in the end and you're free to do with it as you will at non-canon events.

     

    I thought i read some where lucas was looking over the sandtroopers and asked "is there anyway we can show rank" so they used the pauldrons... they found a shop or somthing i cant remember where i read it. i think it's in that new Star wars book?

  13. Gloves

    in Hard Armor (General Discussion)

    Posted

    I have used the lycra/spandex gloves, but as I am upgrading my "look" (thanks to all the great stuff being discussed here in the FISD!), I let Chazz talk me into getting some rubber gloves, but I have not trooped in them yet. I also have some nomex gloves on order too, since I am not sure how rubber gloves will feel when it is 90 degrees in the summer...

     

    they will feel clammy LMAO!

    Just because others do doesn't make it right. The bottom line: if you have a pauldron you are not a canon TK. You are an expanded universe TX.

     

    that sums it up, but if you get that armor dirty you can have a pauldron.... but no chest mag pouch it;s a give and take kind of thing lol

    It all depends on how accurate you want to be. and what makes you happy really

    I'm an accuracy guy myself.
