Oops. At least i got etc. Accurate.

They won for the same reason Charlemagne lost in the Philippines. Take heavily armoured soldiers with crap visibility into a forest / jungle and let the native population who are familiar with every rock and tree and and can get in under the soldiers line of sight, have no high tech to show on scanners, have thousands of hands willing to set traps....and soldiers die. Charlemagne was beaten back and defeated by, to him, tiny people with sticks, stones, and.knives. who ended up teaching jason bourne how to fight :-). Troop a massive kids party. When they swarm and you cant see any of them running around your feet, understand how the ewoks won you will. Im sure vader would have bombarded from orbit but wanted luke alive.

The force.

Go through the getting started thread. Helmet kits should be easy to obtain from ata, ap, etc.Or even someone making rotj buckets.

The owner of the armour was supposed to inform you of the nda requirements. He didnt. Those posted pics are there for builders of anovos armour to reference not for copycats to use to make their own. And you are correct: every armour we wear except for two licensed suits are a violation of intellectual property. One suit of ot and one suit of fotk. All the rest are stolen ip. Which we get away with because we dont mass produce, charge for appearances, and raise hundreds of thousands of dollars each year for charity. But, since you dont get it, i give up. My opinion which carries no weight is that you copied a licensed product, used other peoples property ie build pics to sculp your molds, sold ten sets to friends, got scared at the legal ramifications of fighting the mouses lawyers, quit, and are a little bit jealous that someone else with a similar set made all on their own from is getting away with it. But thats just my opinion. You come across as a child having a tantrum and since you have zero physical side by side proof other than claims and web images and screen grabs...you dont even have a pic of your first order costume on the 501st page. Your gwl should fix that. I will happily await the opinions of the five recipients of the fnarmour suits. Hopefully that puts this issue to rest. Even if youre vindicated, you still need to unlearn tantrums.

No. Everyone using the secret build site asked and was told they had to tell build team members to keep everything secret until told otherwise. If someone let you view the nda bound info.and you used that info to make armour, and not just the build threads posted to the 501 forum, you violated their nda for them. I presume you asked the owner of each and every picture for permission to use them for sculpt references? Of course you didnt.

The NDA has never been lifted. Id love to get an email telling me it is. The alphas were allowed to move build threads to the 501st forum but we are still bound by nda. Anyone with the anovos preview armour, is. This thread, and others, should have a DNR.

And i quote this"Although there were not many references available prior to Anaheim Celebration, I was fortunate enough to assist a local member with his build of the anovos armor, with that being said, using all the reference pics as well as the build experience, " That tells me that you could be accused of copying anovos armour. Is that what prompted the end of your for sale thread. A cease and desist order from anovos or disney legal? Just curious. No disrespect intended. But where the other guy has offered comparison suits, you havent. The other guy hasnt been given a c and d. You realize one phone call to those at the issuers office of that notice pointing out fnarmor as another infringer ( if they copied yours instead of using their million dollars worth of staff and technology available to them) they will shut him down, too.

Be very careful. You have just potentially commited a litigable offense. If he lived in the states. You cannot without a shadow of doubt prove he recast anything, certainly not your armour. No. By not showing pictures of molds he could very easy be a) protecting shareholders, protecting copyright as he applies for a european license to manufacture the armour for disney, c) any number of business reasons. The dead horse is a beaten bloody pulp. Wait for someone to look at one of the free sets of armour. Or better yet, please tell us how many suits youve sold to the uk, south east asia, and if they still have them. Maybe ask them if they sold them or loaned them to someone to copy. Because to be honest im sure there are some who might think that you copied anovos armour. Ever hear the saying " methinks she doth protest too much" ? I think you've gone way overboard. No new evidence on your part. Are you even listed as a vetted seller on fisd ?

Which bluetooth ?

Which part? Thigh or shin? If theres no padding in it that will help a little. Pad front of shjns and rear of thighs, make sure shins are pushed down over boot tops, and make thighs are up as high as can be. Also, that your ab cod is so high and tight it should buy you dinner.

Many bothans joined the force to bring us this news. Happy birthday !

I only carry nitrile gloves in my first aid kit for that reason.

Shipping is sept 2016. I suspect they have hundreds ready to go.

Anyone with a aerosol latex allergy isn't likely to be going to conventions if its life threatening . So much cosplay involves latex...clothes...make up...props...we have a few mask users and theyre all silicone and we checked. It would be bad for greedo to get nearby and someone drops to floor. Greedo never is last being standing after all. Hospital visits would be a a nono, as would schools.

Email sent.

Shore. As in shoring up defenses. We can nickname them bastions, or rooks. Or the Beach Boys.

Or a huey.

Now where do i get this neoprene without cutting my wetsuit up?

I don't doubt for a minute you made wooden masters. Obviously you have skills. However, it looks like you copied someone elses work. And are now trying to convince people that someone else copied your...copy. I think that satisfies the " pot calling kettle black" enough for me. Good luck with the sales of your anovos inspired self sculpt.

The greaves make no sense.

Because phasma is a commander, and stormtrooper commander is fisd? Spec ops has coloured tks, yes, but no commanders other than general weir.

Exactly. If b copied a and c copied b then their both ...guilty...of the same activities. Since fnarmour says he hasnt copied anyone and the other guy hasnt answered if he had a suit of armour to work with / from ...well if he did, this entire thread is a waste of time. Copying is copying. Sculpting from scratch from movie screenashots and pictures and being movie accurate, awesome. Copying parts on a table and claiming the copy is an original work? Not so much. Really i juat want to be able to answer the queations from garrison mates of " who do i buy fotk suits from" and so far my answers unswayed from " check out fisd and see who the vetted vendors are."

No. Im asking if you used a suit of actual armour as reference other than display suits at a public event. Ie, did you build a suit of anovos armour with someone and take pics and measurents from it during the build.

That's not your job. I appreciate wanting to protect original work. There is a channel for that. LCOG office. And you still didn't answer the question about your sources of info other than claiming you took a lot of pictures of display suits and whether you used someones suit of armour to measure and compare from / with. I wouldn't be surprised if it was all done from a thousand images using forensic measurement pies ,wedges , and charts but I'd have to see evidence of those in use to believe it. So, unless convinced otherwise ill have to presume this is a case of one artist feeling another artists work is very similar: both claim screenshots and 501st member input/ influence, both seem to have excellent sculp slash 3d model skill sets, but nothing I've seen screams b copied a directly.
