TK8280

besides all the obvious reasons, the suit in my oppinion is just not as crisp in the lines as the more accurate suits also...but like Seth said, it can definately be worked into a pretty good looking set...but you have the right idea about it being a kind of starter kit in a way, especially when you don't have the funds like I didn't when I first started

cool Terrell, Thanks!

you know that there is a great deal goin for basic FX armor kits without the helmet for $350.00

I've been wondering wear you get this stuff at?

the material that the mold was made out of

Thanks Steve, Its great to see your still around...I just don't know where the humor comes from ...there has been quite a few WAY TOO SERIOUSE stuff floating around this forum lately & I wanted to lighten it up a bit, you know like the old days...before the dark times

Is it because of less than par materials used in the original castings?

I wasn't trying to be a smart a**, I don't know it just popped into my head while reading deatrin's post

oops... I forgot it was an open area, sorry

You guyz are too much!

Nope!

Well, I guess I'm not that much of a trooper expert ...I'd rather spend money on alcohol than armor ...Seth, Chazz, Matt "TE", Troopmaster Paul, and or any of the other actual experts that I haven't Mentioned on this forum, would you like to answer this mind boggling question?

very cool!

Well...I'm guessing that they decided not to spend the extra cash to make completely new suits for each movie, they used some of the same parts in both movies to keep costs down...

what does S.O.L. mean?

here is an earlier thred on this subject... ---------

Its no big deal...I have finished my 2.5' wide belt and am going to get some velcro for it...does any one know were the tutorial is for putting a hook on the back of the thermal detonator?

yup!

The canvas for the belt in on my floor as I type, and will be cut and sewn shortly...so, hopefully by tonight I'll have the holster Rivited to it and such

The AB plate with the correct color buttons...

Uh Oh! that doesn't sound good

Thanks for the feed back, it is really helping me with this project...being an ROTJ trooper, theres not much to go on for refferences... but its still fun

Dude, that a freakin great idea!

The AB plate after cutting an glue'n the buttons are drying...I know its not purfect, but I don't think any of the suits were

wow, a re-cast...thats not good carma at all
