[this is pure fraud]

Yep that is my pic......

 

I just sent this.....:

 

"Would you please refrain from using photo's that are not yours. I am referring to the photo of the armour laid out on the black paper on the floor of my garden. I manufacture and sell ROTJ armour cast from an original screen used suit and went to great lengths and expense to do so. I don't want to be associated with second rate inaccurate recasted fan sculpted armour. Mine is as accurate as it gets and is ROTJ not ANH.

Thank you."

 

 

 

I'd love to hear the reply from that

I think I'm just gonna try it out. Most the the hard parts have already been trimmed and fitted. All I have to really do is trim the chest and back to fit better and it should be set minus the paint, I'm not even going to mess with the helmet since i already have an ANH helmet. I'll test out some of the smaller parts and see how it looks before i move on to any major pieces.

Its the black ABS, unpainted. I figure itll take about the same amount of time to sand, paint, and clearcoat it as it would if i just got a kit. I just dont know how well the white gloss paint will cover up the black you know?

[Repainting...]

Ok so here's the deal. I actually have a buddy that has TX armor that he was building and never finished, and asked me if i wanted it minus the helmet. I dont really care for the shadow trooper look and almost said no, but then had the crazy idea: What if i repaint it white? I'm rather skeptical of it but it could work. What do you guys think?

 

 

This may be considered blasphemy

 

 

If any doubt i may just take it, finish it, and try and trade it for some white armor.

[Anyone want a knockoff kids helmet for $1,700!]

Is that ad a joke?

Welcome, Andrew!

 

Depending on your body type, IF I were you, I would go with ATA as your first set of armor. You will be much happier with a nice set of armor versus going the ebay route and piecing one together. There are many build threads on here to get an idea of what to expect when building a TK/Stormtrooper.

 

Here's a link for the Armor Builds section: http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showforum=61

 

Here's a link for The various types of armor and where to find them: http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=11538

 

Here's the link for general stuff, I suggest reading the stickies, good stuff in there: http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showforum=38

 

Hope that helps you get started, and remember, we are all here to help.......except Daetrin....he'll be in the corner with his bucket on backwards... J/K Paul.

 

 

Haha i'm about 5'6" 5'7" on a good day haha. I'm pretty willing to modify anything i get pretty heavily, i got the tools and the time, just not so much the money <_< . I'm not too anal about complete detail either, just dont want to look like a midget in giants armor Thanks for the links, i'll peruse them and see what i come up with.

Kind of a newb to the whole thing. Always wanted a legit stormtrooper costume when i was a kid though and am a huge star wars fan. Currently looking to buy either a kit or just piece together one from individual parts, IE sandtrooper or regular storm armor. Currently not interested in the 501st (I'm in college) but probably will be in the near future.

 

 

Glad to be part of the boards.
