  1. Well, yea, thats true, i meant more like 1 piece plus ears lol. The black one looks a little better... like more workwas done on the frown...but it could justbe the pics, or the color scheme throwin my eyes off lol
  2. i think you can fit it Nathan. Also, you pull off an awesome Fett, if you can do that, you should have no problem fitting an AP kit.
  3. plus,your a little taller than me so i think it would workout even better! All i added was side plates. Its a little snug, but once its on im comfy in it.
  4. im 5'9" and 215lbs and i have AP armor unshimmed. Its all the way your trim it my friend. You can definately fit into it. heres some pics of me in my AP. ------------
  5. Ya know, a freind of mine is a HUGE wrestling fan, and had showed me this a while ago. Its hilarious! Love the glitter covered don post TK helmet....and then himbustin his butt coming into the room....priceless!!
  6. Actually, there is. Anything made from a mold is "pulled" As for the helmet, i agree with whats been said, recast of a MRCE. It looks to be made well, and sharp on the detail, but theres all kinds of wrong going on there lol. If you were to want a 1 piece helmet, ANHV2 would be the way to go IMO.
  7. TE2 or TM are my top faves, with AP trailing close behind. Any of those are great armor. TE2 has linage to the original suits, as does AP, although the AP is more "cleaned up". TE2 is closer to screen used than AP. TM is a complete fan sculpt that is INSANELY accurate! Also TE2 is HIPS (high impact poly-styrene) and TM is high gloss acrylic capped ABS, AP is gloss ABS. HIPS will need to be painted and is slightly less durable than ABS. My TK is AP and im currently building a TE2 sandtrooper. All are great suits, so its your preference.
  8. hey all, i was just wondering if anyone offers larger accurately shaped shoulder bells? My AP ones are a bit too narrow for me. I probably could widen them up a bit with a heat gun, but my heatgun broke lol. Ultimately though, i would like a little more plastic between the bell and chest as well. I feel like there is just a little too much black showing. So i guess id be looking for something similar in shape and color to AP, just a bit larger. i was thinking possibly RT-mod? Not really sure. Thanks for any info anyone may have.
  9. Hey guys, ok i did a search and couldnt find any info on this though i know it was discussed a billion times. I decided to tear down my AP bucket and rebuild it. i had foam padding in it and it was completely lined with felt. Sounded like a good idea at the time, but i found it to be hard to keep clean and a little warm sometimes due to all the padding on my head..and the felt didnt help either lol. So i took the whole thing apart, removed all the felt and padding and painted the inside with textured paint (to hide any imperfections from leftover hot glue residue and such) I reassembled it slightly different (i wanted the brow a little higher) and i want to install the hard hat liner rather than the foam padding, but i cant for the life of me figure out how to do it properly. So before i mess up my newly re-done helmet, i figured id ask the experts! Any help or links to threads would be great! thanks troops!
  10. Did you mean these? I believe they are from an upcoming fan film. Slave1Pilot is one of those guys,he may have more info on them. I believe he is a member here
  11. Could be that, could also be the time frame between the paint and clear. I usually wait at least 24hrs before applying a clearcoat.
  12. pretty awesome! I was looking for an actual Heng' nice!
  13. LOL! Good thing your not building a biker scout or you'd have to kill that thing!! Pretty cool though!... now get to building that TK!!
  14. Well thats good to hear. If you end up needing anything i offered,just let me know!
  15. I dont think he meant it was actually "junk" Puro. Plus, the stuff i have is brand new, not junk. I make the Mic tips and belt myself. The bodysuit is a spare, there is nothing wrong with the neckseal, i just upgraded to the zipper type. The faceplate was going to be for a project idea i had that never panned out, and again is brand new. Far from junk. I dont really see anything wrong with offering a trooper free stuff until he can replace his personal gear so he can keep doing what he loves to do. If this happened to me, id gladly take a second hand set for free offered by my TK brothers so i can continue to troop,rather than have nothing and not be able to troop at all...wouldnt you? That being said, Matt stated he might not be on for a bit. If someone thats close to him can let him know myself and Sgt Steve have a good amount of stuff we are willing to donate to him, that would be great. Would love to get him trooping again.
  16. its not much,but i can throw in a canvas belt, a MC TK faceplate, and mic tips. i have a neck seal also thats i believe 19" and a sz large bodysuit from triktoys they are all yours if you want em bro.
  17. This is horrible! Id be willing to participate in a raffle or whatever to help out! I wish i made anything TK, but all i have for TKs now is mic tips ..tho we are working on the canvas belts also...i know its not much, but id gladly send you those if you want em Matt.
  18. thanks guys! i think im gonna go for it! and TKbondservt great idea with the UV wax..im gonna do that!
  19. So im thinking about picking up a TM bucket to replace my AP bucket, but TM tells me his is acrylic capped ABS so it will be shinier and whiter than the AP ABS. I dont mind the shine as i polished up my armor pretty good, so it will likely be close enough. What im concerned about is the color. Anyone use AP armor with a TM bucket that might have pics so i can see how drastic the difference is? I dont mind it being a bit whiter, but id like to see what it looks like if i can before confirming an order with the great TM. thanks troopers!
  20. WOW! what a beautiful helmet! ....and the decals are perfect! Man i need to get my hands on a TM lid to replace my AP lid!
  21. Awesome,ill probably go that route then! Cuz my heart sometimes goes back to that ANH trooper heh. i have that resin TE or TE2 (whatever it is lol) casting that i got from my buddy that i may use to make into an ESB bucket. hand plates are a snap and ill just mod another hasbro to ESB specs. I made my holster, so ill just make another...im learning how to make belts with my sewing machine so that will be easy also. But first i need to finish my Sandy! hehe Thanks guys!
  22. I know i had mentioned this before, but never got around to doing it. Nowthat my Sandy is in progress, once im done with that, im going to convert my current EIB TK from ANH-ESB. I was actually wondering if its possible to use the same armor and attain EIB for both ANH and ESB. I'd be getting a new bucket to do in the ESB style, and the only other difference i know of is the holster on the right and looped over the belt, and the E-11 being less the counter. Is that all id have to do? If so, id probably use the same actual armor with just another belt, holster, E-11 and helmet. So what say you Leaders? Do i need a whole new set of armor to go EIB for both? (i am currently an EIB ANH)
  23. Hm,i dunno, its been happening to me also,and im on my home computer with no restrictions.
  24. Indeed, they were great with the boots, excellent communication! i will probably get a white pauldron from them
