To the newbies, just be patient. I recall them saying they'll be released winter 2015, it's only been 2 days of winter. Winter lasts through March. To me they are right on schedule. Most members on this site had to wait a year or more to get a kit, and we had to trust the people we bought from even more considering we didn't have the luxury of buying from a licensed company. The whining is nonsense messaging them about a shipping date won't make it happen any sooner.

both are only 20 mm strips on the front of the thighs and shins. 20-25 mm on the back although it does not matter as much as the front.
-
Its BFA armor! usually most people from the UK have his stuff.
-
None of the photoson that page show bubble lenses on troopers in esb.
-

-
Gotta link? I never heard about this before.

They would not be, let me find some suitable.
-
They would not be centurion level, the seam is in the wrong spot and its not u shaped enough.
-
Use the one without the hook, thats how the originals wore them, they had a hook, but it hung more low, and it covers the big gap.
-
Well the lens that comes with the AP armor is too flimsy and the public can see through your helmet and see your eyes, but if you must use them, just use packing tape or duct tape them in
-
I'd say go to trooperbay and buy the hard dark green lenses. They are long enough to screw in, and they are dark enough for the public so they don't see your eyes, and you'll be able to see.

Now realizing that rogue one ends moments before ANH, I am very dissapointed with the costume department. That is a huge continuity error by them, It would possibly ruin the in universe feel this movie has, seeing troops that don't look the same side by side to an ANH trooper. I'm really hoping they got the helmets right. That has to be the same for me.

Is RWA new? I have never heard of that armor maker, anyways great looking build you got.
-
A disinfectant wipe, or your spit and some elbow grease haha! Or to dp more professionally Novus like said above. I just leave the marks to look like I've been through some action.

Contact the member troopermaster on this board via PM

It is either an ATA or an MTK kit.
-
Just trim and make a new curve with tracing a spray can.
-
Just Andrew lying to us saying he sculpted it. No ones gonna make a perfect resculpt of the original hero faceplate within one sitting not looking at any reference and with those tools. Don't buy in to the lies.
-
Do not trim them! When fit on the back it will curve with the shape of the back. Raise the back so the two edges are touching thew top of the kidney.

Wow! Thats the best looking hero helmet i have ever seen! You should look into helping RS cast this for a hero variant
Its that good.-

I am aware, indeed.
I´m a prop builder and collector - so i need to copy those crappy builds, with only minor sanitizing of the most disgusting flaws.
But i would love it if they would have taken a more "real" approach while building things, instead of just slapping bad parts together. And i always hope they don´t make the same mistakes again, now with much more money than in the old days.
I´m no costumer, but if i were ....... to be honest, i would prefer to be seen in a good and believeable looking costume, not in something movie accurate that looks like i have no skills for a proper and symetrical build. "Whow, such a sloppy and wonky build, he probably has 2 left hands, or was in a real hurry" is nothing i would like to hear. That´s the first i always have in mind when seeing those imperfections.
But you see, the people who try and make symmetrical builds such as the FX armor always get the comments at them "You don't look like the other troops" and "why is your costume not the same as the others?" The public can tell the difference. what they saw onscreen is what people want to see, a stormtrooper is loved by everyone because it is wonky. Ive never gotten a comment that I look wonky or uneven or not symmetrical. The comments i have gotten are "he looks like he just walked off the screen!" amd "You look just like the movie armor!" If you were a costumer you would realize the difference from "idealizing" and replicating it. MAny have tried to idealize and it never would look right. Take a look at the symmetrical efx helmet it looks horrible compared to origianls casted helmet. Everyone can tell whats the better helmet. Symmetrical is not better in the starwars universe. NO helmet was symmetrical in the OT trilogy.

I was recently awarded EIB with my AM build. Also, I believe with the changes Troopergear has done to his molds, AM can be approved for Centurion.
He must have switched out the chest for the recast RS from his NE then, I only noticed after I posted that new AM 2 builds have the new chest, Originally the AM2 had the old chest. Then yeah its approvable just not the most accurate in the US.
-
You would need to submit it again for EIB. You may have EIB, but the new costume has not been reviewed by anyone so it can't just gain EIB. FOr all we know you could be cutting corners. Not saying you will but If you notice other people who have multiple costume submissions on different stormtrooper suits all have to be reviewed for EIB

Patience, I haven't hear of anyone who ordered from RS and did not receive a kit
