  1. Also, seeing how this is an advanced costume section, I can't see any reason to have fake brads or any other fake pieces. Either go the whole hog or stick with EIB ;) Just my opinion :D

    What?! This is crazy talk! Who are you? What have you done with the real Troopermaster?!

     

    :lol::D:lol:

     

    Ahhh... I crack myself up sometimes.

    (only sometimes)

  2. Man, have I been asleep for 100 years... it feels like it! Just now catching up on all of this, and glad I looked. I'm finishing up my ESB, hoping for Centurion with it, and thought I'd check to make sure I had everything I needed... and wow, this is a big one to find! First saw it on the CRL, then was going to ask about it, but viola! there was already all of this write up. Like I said... 100 years. B)

     

    I looked through all my screen grabs and this is a good call I think!

    No elastic, and fastened in the back.

     

    I will probably go Velcro to fasten mine because I love the clam shell assembly for getting into the armor.

     

    Great job guys!

    Good eyes!!!

     

    One more thought... something else that you could possibly use if you wanted a "dual" ANH/ESB suit would be "Plasti-Tak" adhesive. It would hold — probably — pretty well, and yet would peal off easily.

  3. It does indeed. Having you here to provide direct, honest, and accurate information is a true blessing for us.

    Well said boss!

    And that's the truth 100 x over!

     

     

    Now then... I'm not usually one to get into these things — and this isn't getting into it really anyway — but, I did just see this on facebook and had to comment on it...

     

    This is his finished armor?

     

    Look at the tops of the legs.

    And the way the forearms or the shins are assembled.

    They're all just overlapped... no finishing strips.

    Not to mention the "ammo knee plate." Aren't those really small??

     

    I've seen photos of his armor before, but never really took time to LOOK at it... because I don't care.

    This is just a little more accurate than AM armor.

    I'm not dissing AM, I think AM is beautiful, idealized armor and a GREAT kit... but AM doesn't claim what AA is claiming either.

     

    Again... I'm not getting into this... just had to share this picture. :P

  4. Thanks Noel!

    I was looking for that thread, but I didn't find it, so I ended up repeating the whole thing... :P

    You bet!

    I'm actually getting pretty good at finding things... that time it only took me like 15 minutes. :D

  5. Here's a list of common acronyms.

     

    And here's a whole discussion on this topic... B)

    Also, when you think about it, in the film the trooper is referred as "Tee-Kay-421", but as the empire uses Aurebesh it should better be "Trill-Krill-421".

    Yes... but, "Trill-Krill" is pronounced "Tee-Kay" in basic — the spoken language.

    Just like the western alphabet has different pronunciations for many letters... especially if you're talking to someone other than an American. :D
