Breaking it down should be easy enough. Either cut the pieces off, or apply careful pressure and snap the part off. You don't even have to strip the paint from the parts you will reuse. If you want to however, just get some sandpaper. You can also use one of those little mouse sanders to softly remove the paint. From what I see of this blaster it looks pretty good and would easily pass level 2 standards.

I call foul. It doesn't feel like a real bapty to me. Bad photos, no detailed closeups and the details in the description is a bit off.

Sounds like you know him, hook me up!

At the moment I have not looked into Injection molding. The problem being that the tooling is going to be astronomical (at least 15k, probably more). I will look around at getting quotes for this but in the mean time it is likely that it will be a rotocast PUR with fiberglass backing for added strength if required. Final process not completely decided upon.

The same disappointment that was felt by Rubies buyers. I'm sure there will be some wiggle room in the CRL's but as long (as you said) they fall within an acceptable level of variation, they should be good. We will really have to see as we get closer to a final CRL and what their full offering is.

Looks good... but hot! I would consider adding some velcro on the connection between pants and shirt, to help keep things in place.

Enrique, I would really tread carefully. If you make your 3D render based on the details you find in our renders, you're copying another persons work and technically recasting. Plus, if you copy details from our 3D renders, you will be copying any imperfections we may have in our design. The best bet is to follow the TFA threads and collect the best highres photos you can find for your details and model. This is the only way to ensure you get an accurate model, please it feels good to copy the original and not to copy a copy of an original. These designs are not from LFL, official 3D models or from any insider information. They were made solely by Roy based on his hard and diligent work from screen captures of screen used helmets.

Hahahahah

Both screen used, both different soles?

It you have a sterling you don't need to add anything from doopy. A real sterling should only be combined with a real tank scope and a hengstler counter (Talk to Felice to get them) and a set of powercells from playfulwolfcub and t-tracks from www.wannawanga.com. As for the doopys, build it as it is and troop with it. The sterling is a bit heavy for trooping and makes a great display. Also some places don't like you carrying a real weapon, even if it's deactivated.

Likely they are not TD's but using a pauldron to denote rank, or possibly elite status. It would also lend itself because they are on the platform above all of the other soldiers. Lots of people are talking about this, just not in the pre-order thread for the OT TK. It is in the EP7 threads.

That looks like a much bigger weapon vs the standard blaster. So I will stick with HWT.

I read from the ANOVOS rep "Got Maul" on the RPF that the gloves were specially made for the film by a company and are not found items. He said they are working with that company directly to produce these for their suits, so I can say without a doubt that there is room for you to make these gloves based on reference photos. A single supplier of parts is never enough.

The problem is those gloves aren't accurate. The gloves that were on the screen suit display are radically different in the detailing vs the ANOVOS gloves. I'm certain these gloves were supplied at the last minute to get something as close as possible without investing in getting them custom made or finding the original source (who might be under NDA or not able to sell this design publicly).

Oh, I forgot to mention about the seals... If you wanted to focus on releasing a set of seals I would explore doing something in fabric like lycra. While not accurate (from what we think) it will make you a very popular supplier. Anyone who wore the suits at C7 said the rubber gaskets was brutal. They severely limited movement, were hot as sin and were bulky.

Hi Gio, You want to be careful when copying the ANOVOS designs from C7. Most of their softparts were rushed out to fill the need at the last minute and are not really matching the screen used items. Straight up the gloves are miles away from accurate. You should check photos from C7 of 2 TK7 standing on an orange background, those are the screen suits and will get you the details you want. The ANOVOS troopers will be a bad model to use due to what I said before. The thing about supplying softparts even with others making them, you will always get business if you can supply the parts within a reasonable time at a good price. Unless the exact parts are found at a major distributor who can handle constant demand there will always be the need for multiple suppliers. I would say focus you efforts to get some accurate boots out and when thats done, maybe look into the gloves as well,

Nice, maybe my wife will be interested in a setup like this!

You don't want a fiberglass armor. It's HEAVY.

I remember reading in one of the thousands of TK7 threads that ANOVOS got the gloves at the last minute and had nothing to do with the screen used gloves. As you're pointed out in your comparison, this is very obvious. Keep at it and you'll have the corner on the glove market. At least until someone finds the original motorcycle glove.

Ok, so he is french, living in China? I wasn't really sure about all this, the forum name threw me off.

With the right trimming any kit can fit nearly anyone. Most of the kits on the market say they will fit up to 6' or 6'2" but they can fit taller/bigger people, it's all about how much modification is required to get it done.

Dang man, they should pay you a consulting fee, you did all the design work for them.

It is always best to discuss this directly with the armorer. I think is is in the 800-900 range for the RT-Mod kit. The helmet is already built which is nice.

I concur. they are exactly the same shape and dimensions. Verified on a parts kit as well as a full sterling on my bench.

For people who got the helmet at celebration, was it ABS or Fiberglass or resin casting.
