  3. Ralph McQuarrie's Concept Stormtrooper "Armor"

    in Concept Armor

    Posted

    I guess my point is that the EU and all of the approved costumes that do not appear in a movie have storylines and actual characters for them.  These costumes were concept art,  for the original trilogy.  They were evolved into what we know as the stormtroopers and other characters.  So they never actually appeared in a movie, tv show, comic, video game, book, etc, in this form.  I'm not saying that they should or shouldn't be, that isn't for me to decide. Of course, I know that there is much more data about the McQuarrie versions, including Hasbro and Gentle Giant reference material, but again, all of that is derived from this "concept" art, and not actual characters.  

     

    I'm not saying that I'm right, or wrong, this is strictly my opinion.  I could live with them being in or out, I guess the reason that I brought it up in the first place was to get people's opinions on why they think that they should or should not be approved as Legion costumes.  

     

    Side note, I don't want anyone to confuse what I am saying with me poo-poo-ing on the amazing craftsmanship and work that went into the design and assembly of these costumes.  I think that they are amazing, and everyone did a fantastic job with them.  I know how much hard work goes into this stuff, and I don't want anyone to think that I am saying anything negative about the armor, work that went into the design, or anyone who chooses to wear the armor.

    Ok, without being flamed too much, I am curious as to why we think that these "concept" suits are approvable for the Legion?  They were just "concept", right, and only appeared in his artwork...  I am not an expert in this, so I am not trying to be negative, simply curious.  Thoughts?

     

    Oh, I forgot to add that I think they are spectacular and look just like the artwork.. It is amazing work!

  10. What Does Your TK ID Represent

    I was recently approved and had my heart set on 10651 from the start. My father introduced me to Star Wars, and I have amazing memories of he and I watching the movies together. He passed from cancer at a much to early age, and I chose my TK number to honor him. His birth date was Oct 6, 1951, hence I chose 10651.

    Growing up playing hockey, we had this same problem with our eye visors. There is a nice product on the market that keeps hockey visors from fogging up. Not sure if it will work on the trooper helmets, but I am planning on trying it when I get mine built.

    So my armor kit came it yesterday.... Holy cow, that's a lot of parts.... I downloaded a few build guides including yours LadyInWhite (very well written, by the way), so I feel good about getting started this weekend. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much stuff came with, screws, nuts, bolts, polish, glue....

     

    Ready to go!
