  2. ANOVOS TFA Kit - thoughts?

    in TFA Stormtrooper

    Posted · Edited by TK8114

    I plan on buying one within the next week. The price point is good and I already got the standard helmet cheap on Amazon.
     

    The wait doesn't bother me, I'll be lucky with the amount of free time I have if I can get my Anovos TK done before then.

  14. Pualdrons? When, where?

    And remember, both are just bs extrapolations for costume design choices (pauldrons) and costume variations (ear marks) so do what ever makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. If you want to wear a pauldron, wear a pauldron just don't wear it in your official legion pictures or at canon events. Other than that, if anybody gives you static for it, tell em sit on it. Do what makes you happy, as long as its within the rules.

    thanks for clarifying that - I couldn't find anywhere on the 501 site who's in and who's out as far as TK makers.

     

    The 501st doesn't endorse any makers themselves (technically we can't but that's a long complex discussion that will make your head spin), but that being said you can find info on good reliable makers here by reading around on what members suggest.

     

    Typically your best choices range from FX, AP, TE2, ATA, RTMOD, and TM or Troopermaster. Anything else is very likely recast and may not be the best quality armor you can get and sometimes for even more money than the original armor its taken from for less quality. That's why we always suggest doing your homework and read up on the various armors as they all have different pros and cons to help make a decision on what armor is best for you.

  17. Dutch Weapon Law Restrictions

    Dear Sir,

     

    in Part B/4.1 of the Circulaire Weapons and Munitions, it is explained in which cases there can be a decent benefit to lending a waiver in order to carry a fire-arm in the 2nd Category belonging to the equipment of re-enactment.

    This part decides amongst others that re-enactment is when, at acceptable ways, battles and events from the military history will be re-enacted by groups of historical interested, dressed in original, albeit replicated costumes and equipped with several, within the timespan fitting, with unit, battle or event related equipment pieces.

     

    Your Star Wars club does not comply to these terms according to the Circulaire Weapons and Munitions. Also, there is no way to get a permit for a de-activated Lewis M.20.

     

    I hope to have informed you completely now.

     

    I really don't see much of a difference between what we do and historical reenactment OTHER than the fact that one is based on real life. TBH I would think someone dressed as a fantasy character would be less threatening than someone dressed up as a real life Nazi or equivalent waving a gun around.

  18. Why mylar strips on O2 cannisters?

    Well, the hanger bays were also "sealed" and you can see right out that big gaping whole in the wall. B)

     

    Just sayin'... maybe what we consider "sealed" would look different in a galaxy where forcefields and such exist.

    (TRYING to give them the benefit of the doubt! hahaha... make it work man...) :D

     

    considering, emergency force shields is how they explain away x-wing pilot helmets having no faceplate, and the pilots not dying instantly if they go EV, that's pretty much what I've always chalked it up to.

    There's also the ANHv2.5 helmet. I'm currently working on one myself. Its the second biggest helmet, but its more accurate in proportions than the FX. The only thing that sucks is its rotocast so you'll have to paint it.

     

    you can see pics in my WIP thread.

  24. Has anyone delt with this "501st" approved FX seller?

    No worries. There is a pm going round here with information on armour sellers.

     

    In my opinion, I wouldn't buy FX, once you get more into your armour you will want something more accurate and there is not a huge price difference.

     

    Good luck and welcome by the way.

    Depending on the person's build and body type (IE bigger fellows), FX armor can be a better solution than screen accurate armor. This is why everyone should do their research and find out the pros and cons of each type of armor and decide for themselves what they feel is best for them. You will find a large portion of the legion is very happy and content with their FX armor.
