I thought that acrylic had better properties than bare ABS to withstand any discolouration?
Has anyone had acrylic capped armour discolour?

Hi Ade, I have moved onto trimming my armour now, I thought I'd leave the helmet for a bit as I'm tempted to take the stripes off and do them again.
The TM armour is a work of art so I want to do it justice and do an awesome build.
Work has gone bonkers busy so I'm itching to get building.
You'll be trooping in no time

Wow how cool, very nice indeed. I have been thinking of a black chrome for a shadow trooper
-
Nice one Ade, it's looking awesome! Good luck with the clearance, although looking that no problem
-
Thanks for posting those pics Robert, very interesting indeed!
It does sound that the shiny satin could had been chosen to be used for the outside to match the shiny armour.
To make belts and things sometimes you can stitch around the edge and then turn the object inside out and then press the item.
This would then have no rough edges and no seams / stitching showing, maybe this is what was intended?
Maybe they were riveted together before they were turned inside out by mistake or became too narrow?
Or just grabbed all the material they had to try and ake them thicker?
Just a thought...

Cool I look forward to seeing the pics, I didn't want to criticise and cause any offence but thought just a little would be spot on
Great to have the authentic straight off the set feel!

Hi Stephen, looking cool!
I have been trying to find much clearer pics of the helmet you are recreating but they are a bit fuzzy to see close up.
But from what I can see It looks like it could do with a bit more off at the top. I found this thread a while back http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=16277
that may be interesting.

This is great, with all the bad things and news in the world at the moment the kindness and generosity of you guys have really helped make something very special for Owen! Good on you!!!!
-
The Stunt versions come with a numbered plaque so if anyone has bought one recently they may be able to let you know the number.
It would probably be in the thousands as a guess as they have been making them since 2004.

That is such a cool costume, must be one of the best possible
excellent!!! -
Hi, thanks for posting those pics. It looks like they were cut out in a rush, so maybe having a few too many beers will help someone cut more screen accurate eyes??

Excellent - I was waiting for Lego to bring Stormtroopers back - they are expensive at the moment as they are not in any sets other than a single sandy in Lukes Landspeeder.
Just noticed lego weathering detail and printed legs - very nice.
I need to expand my garrison
Infact I would very happy to just get these for Christmas (Thanksgiving)

Hi,
Sounds cool, would be great to see some pics of the mandolorian armour.
You can see some really good pics on this site in the Centurion requests section - I'll start a build thread shortly too.
Really helpful people on here and on the UK Garrison sites.
I sold some fett armour to go toward the TK armour, I realised building a fett costume would take ages to get right
and having the helmet signed helped put a stop to it : -
Hi Damien, I agree with the guys above - I have some TM here ready to build and it is absolutely gorgeous - really glossy armour that's not only super accurate but will give you the option to troop if wanted in the future
-
Excellent news, beautiful armour and first class build!
-
Wow there are some cool pics love R2 on the side showing the real little legs built into the costume.
Oh and the 2x sunbathing slave Leia
fantastic!!! -
Look sir, droids!
There is a tutorial in the How to section
HOW to: assembling ATA ABS helmet #1
Started by pandatrooper, Mar 07 2011 06:48 PM
For an ATA helmet with photos and the back does look very similar for the amount to leave.
Hope it helps
sorry I am unsure how to link to it. -
Thanks for adding that link.
They are such cool photos and beautifully shot, couldn't believe all the comments of the idiots saying all stormtroopers are clones of jango...
They watch the prequels and think they know everything!

Hey Matt,
It reminds me of being a classic Mini fan / owner over many years (Austin / Rover / British leyland etc).
All the different People: some get a great deal of enjoyment getting every single nut and bolt and label as correct and if not better than the day it was in the showroom back in the 60's. I thought these people were mad but now see the beauty and appreciate the time and skill that goes into it. Some people love their mini whatever model or condition it's in, some customise and race it.
But everyone had the initial love for the Mini and everyone who had the most expensive cars £50k upwards through to the just roadworthy £200 could share the same goal of having fun and owning a mini.
Sounds just like here, people with different interests, yes there is a standard as people could turn up with a suit made out of cardboard. Acuracy is more important to some more than others but surely everyone shares the same goal to have fun and put a smile on people's faces and also help generate money for different worthy causes which is fantastic!
I'm hoping to join the UK garrison and everyone has been really helpful and I'm sure they are similar and share the same end goal ethos and dreams as you in your local garrison, some strive for ccostume perfection which is another rewarding aspect of costuming.
So grab some armour and have some fun

Hi everyone,
I joined this forum as I have seen some fantastic content here, I'm working towards joining the UK Garrison with a fine TK suit.
I bought an FX suit as I'm a biggish dude and sold the lid and have a AA/SDS ANH TK Hero 2.5mm High Impact Styrene.
Before I add in the interior electrics etc thought I'd better check if anyone has trooped in one of these and had any problems?
This is the Hero 2.5mm High Impact Styrene and not the Battle Spec or Stunt.
Beautiful looking but thought I'd check.
Thanks very much!

Hi I have a mk 2 E11 hasbro conversion kit and it's really nice quality, nice sharp detail, I didn't need to contact them.
I doubt the kit would have problems going through customs but worth checking if ready made versions would.

I remember when the SinglePoint scopes came out, in use it puts a single dot on what you are viewing, good for fast shooting - my Dad has one.
I think that end cap of the sight should be clear though from memory.
The top 4x20mm scope can be picked up cheaply on ebay.
