  1. I believe Death Trooper takes place about 9 years BBY, so that would be very strange to have them carry a ROTJ E-11. Loved the book, Red Harvest is excellent as well.
  2. I guess it would be for your average consumer/collector. People that are not aware that it is not accurate and just wants a piece to display.
  3. I would never get one, but did find it interesting that they made a TKC.
  4. I was browsing Evilbay and ran across this.. eBay
  5. The Incinerator build is very similiar to the TKC build, and I used the ATA kit to reach Centurion level. It took some modification but it can be acheived with any armor kit, it just depends on how much time you want to put into it. ======
  6. Very nice!
  7. After sculpting the extension I also used modelling putty to fill in the seam and sanded it smooth so it looked natural, not like I added an extension. I then painted it a gloss white, then weathered it with the rest of the armor. With your height I would not suggest going with ATA for your main armor build. Using parts like the helmet and belt would work.
  8. Derrek, while not nearly as tall as you I'm sitting at 6'2" I went with a ATA kit it also has a seperate kidney/butt plate and I also considered going with CFO for a replacement piece. What I eventually did was fuse my butt plate to my kidney plate. I used a fairly thick piece of ABS that I acquired from a hobby shop and cut it to the size I needed, then using a heat gun I shaped it to fit the curve of my butt/kidney plate and glued the two halves together. I made sure that the backing piece that I used was strong and gave plenty of surface area for the glue to adhere too so that it would be strong and stand up to trooping without giving me any trouble. Many a troops in now, including games of tag and gun battles with kids and it has not even budged. As for the belt the ATA kit comes with the buttons that you glue onto the belt, so all I had to do was not glue the center one on. I can't remember which makers have the buttons already molded on. I did go with Vaderdave for the buttons, I also had ordered extra from him so that I could add the extra button that runs vertical on your AB plate. What I did there to add the fifth vertical button was use sculpting putty and extended the vertical buttons an extra spot. Hope this helps, if you have any further questions feel free to throw me a PM.
  9. One concept art I seen would have had all the TKs carrrying lightsabers and shields.
  10. Congratulations! I agree the boots do look great, and the painted boots are accurate. It was a suggestion to help reduce upkeep. Again welcome to EI.
  11. Overall the build looks great, only two small things I would take care of and they are pretty minor fixes, these fixes would help sharpen your great armor. I would shorten the TD clips so they are not so long and extend that far past your belt. The other is your boots, they look good but I see that you painted boots that were black to white, your shin armor has started to rub the paint away from your boots. I would invest in a pair of TK boots and not have to worry about constant upkeep and repainting your boots after every troop. I also agree on your thighs, I would tighten them up a bit. I think it would really help in comfort and give you a more trimmed look.
  12. Yep, stunt lid. Looking forward to seeing your TKC build.
  13. That is a Commander, the artist may have missed the arm,leg markings but I would bet that is what he was trying to get across that it was a commander. I would not think there would be a different commander for Sandtroopers. They are to be able command troopers and shadowtroopers alike. This has got my vote all the way!
  14. Wow! That's pretty cool! Looking at it on my phone so can't see it real well. But it's got my interest. I'd wear the pauldron and carry a dewback prod stick.
  15. My bad on the straps, congrats on getting EI!
  16. Nice build, but I would agree with removing that return edge for a much more comfortable and better fit. And I also believe that for the ANH stunt the holster straps that attaches to the belt should be tan. looking good.
  17. you could also try ATA. It would fit you fine as well.
  18. That is great news, I'm glad everything worked out for you. And wow that is great customer service.
  19. Awesome! Great work Sean, welcome brother!
  20. Congratulations! Don't take it personal, they just want to help you be the best trooper you can be.
  21. Looks like you have Shawn and myself both listed as Centruion #35.
  22. If it's small and furry, shoot first and ask questions later!
