  1. Any really tall/big stormtroopers?

    Hey Jim. It sorta depends on your proportions.

     

    I would say that RT-MOD works for someone up to a 46 chest and 40" waist without problem.

     

    The RT legs work well for 34" inseam. TM's shins are longer but a different color plastic.

     

    Have you thought about doing a Vader?

     

    And TyWebb is an imposing TD for sure. I can't wait to finish my sandie this year so we can tromp around and loom over people.

    Alright, I'm temp locking this thread until tomorrow to let everyone cool down.

    Plaaaaastic spacemen.

     

    Costume club. Club!

     

    Hobby.

     

    Fun.

     

    Making fans and kids smile by wearing costumes.

     

    Please stop posting political opinions please, irrational or otherwise or I start banning people for a while. It has no place here on our forums. This sort of discussion is poison.

     

    If you want to post anything more on this subject I suggest doing so on the legion forums and keep it off FISD.

     

    Thank you.

  7. Anovos TK armor preorder

    in Hard Armor (General Discussion)

    It is just plastic. I don't see it as being much more complicated to vacuum form the pieces. There are a bunch of resin greeblie pieces but those are easy to replicate. 

    They should offer an option to purchase without the gaskets. Offering a full kit with the option of helmet (fiberglass or injection molded).

     

    But all the bondo & seamless work is done by the builder. Why would that be a mark up on the producers side?

     

    Trust us that the FO costume has way more parts and is way harder to put together than your average TK. I've done a bunch of OT TKs and I'm here to tell you that it requires way more skill (and time) that I was possibly capable of. So. Many. Parts.

  18. TFA Trooper Designation

    in TFA Stormtrooper

    Posted

    Well.... I don't think anyone wants to overhaul the member database any time soon. I doubt we'll see any changes to designations unless the new LCO demands it.

     

    There are other problems with the schema of that database that costume designations are a mere blip.
