Trooperman

Thanks Mark, soughted mate as you can see i still have along wat to go will be glueing the the rest of the strips on the bicep and forearms , i will be posting photos of the upper armour completed shortly.

Thankyou Nathan and Paul for your help i suppose first of all ive gotta learn how to spell photobucket .

Im having probs uploading photos onto the FISD sight to show the progress of my AP build is there any one who can tell me what im doing wrong ,the only thing that seems to come up is the text for the photo from photobucket

Having ordered my AP in July last year i thought it was time to tackle the build .After a lot of research on here i felt i could try and build the suit as screen accurate as possible also bearing in mind that im going to be trooping in it as well ,ok here are some photos ,this is also the first time ive used photobucket so i hope this works and whilst im here heres my boots im painting, this is only the first coat .

Catbread, cooooool looking lid there mate, is it TE2 or AP ?

Correct me if im wrong ,but i believe this is the promo trooper in a stance that i have never seen with the baground added later.

Chris dont rush into anything mate,these guys around here can point you in the right direction Theres only realy one person who sells AP helmets and thats AP himself i believe a lot cheaper than $325 ...

Andy your armour will look fantastic once its completed its one of the most accurate suits out there ,Gary your TM armour looked amazing along with Chris C at the MediCinema event in London town this is the armour i would like affter completing my AP, mind you my vision was made a little impaired by Violinist ..soz i mean Violinists Fuse

Tim ,great job mate love seeing all the photos of your build,, building my AP at the mo ,stukatrooper is spot on, its a hard build ,things dont match up perfectly but with a little determanation and skill the armour looks like it just stepped of the Death Star

Johns stuff is fantastic ,ive bought bells and hand plates of him before to jazz up the look of my FX suit ,the reason ive asked about the bells is im just about half way through my AP build and want to make sure i get things right thanks for all your help guys

As Catbread said AP seconds is defo the way to go if its around $180 you wanna spend they are good reliable lids and screen accurate.

The first time i saw TK armour up close was at a star wars convention in Basildon about 12 to 13 years ago with Dave Prowse ,Jeremy Bulloch, Kenny Baker, Don Henderson and and some crazy guy in the audience claiming the FORCE was real .I remember staring at the armour and helmet thinking how can i get one of those ,here i am all these years later im on my 2nd armour build and belong to the UK Garrison and FISD websight ,what an honour

Hi ,on the AP shoulder bells which way do you have them as both bells are different or does it not matter?

Mark,congrats , well deserved

Hi ,can someone suggest what the best boot dye is to use on my black boots ?
