Thank you for brightening my day with that response.

People will post for sale threads when they decide to sell, so the best course if you're looking for a pre-owned suit is to just subscribe to that topic and keep an eye peeled.

And with that I'm locking the thread. Stefan - there's a right way and an impolite way to provide constructive feedback. I'm very passionate about my dislike the FX helmet for instance, but if you're going to criticize you should be specific in what you don't like and what the person can do to correct it.

Agreed 100%. There are some inaccuracies but it does look great on many a taller/larger trooper and can lok far better than trying to squeeze in to a TE-derived.

It's FISD for sure Brian! FE is EU SL only, SpecOps is black based armor and had FISD been created prior to SpecOps it's highly likely that the TK based TX costumes would have been on FISD too Mason has given this a good start as have you - so it's just a matter of creating the CRL, and you know we are on top of that

Gentlemen - I'd ask to keep this thread on topic and we can have a finishing strips for EI/Centurion discussion in the detachment only area where it would it is proper to have those conversations.

I'm late to this thread and reading through it and some PM's - give me a bit and let me see if I can straighten in all out. At the end of the day - we're all on the same side after all.

Nice! Will this be 501st approved at some point? I have no skin in the game either way, but I've been asked that by several folks now.

Happy birthday girl - sorry I didn't chime in earlier - it's been "one of those days". Hope you had a good 'un.

I can say with certainty that Kevin's work is not recast *at all* and is indeed a 100% fan sculpt. I'm sure he'll take it as a compliment that you think it's recast, but you can go waaaay back to his v1 sculpts which he posted on the Legion boards to see that it's 100% recast free. The reason it's not allowed for Centurion is that while the helmet looks great from a side shot, it looks a bit off when viewed direclty from the front. This is the same reason why MRCE is not allowed for Centurion - looks fine from the side but not quite right from the front. RT & TM are not 100% screen derived either, yet both work just fine for Centurion.

I just ordered a second right bicep on one of my TE2 & ATA suits. It wasn't that expensive to do so, and at least they'll match then.

FWIW helmet aside it's not really so much the kit as what people do with it. I've seen well put together AM or RT suits that look better than some TE derived ones. I'd rather see a group of TK's that took their FX/AM to Centurion level that a group wearing TE derived with bad strapping, incorrect details, etc.

In 2005 I looked like this, as did my entire garrision: Fast forward 6 years... I think there's only one FX bucket left in my garrsion as well. Heck, there are not many FX suits left in my garrison come to that.

Check out this month's newsletter Steve Also remember that the CRL will have 3 levels as all our other costumes: base, EI, Centurion.

I'll get it started with these pix. Guesses for who's bringing this to life?

Considering the other issues that got voted down, it's not surprising, esp. unless every maker of armor ensures they match exact. We have a long way before that level of detail is worried about.

And to all of you who are trooping on this fine day And for those that are not and celebrating otherwise: The US can be a mess at times, but it's still a great place to be from, and proud of.

A very happy birthday to you Tom - hope your TKID comes in today as a very special birthday present.

Looking great there Julie! Perhaps the lack of feedback on the Padme was due to it's being a Rebel costume ;-) Seems you rock everything you own

Agreed - that's so cool!

Way to go Juan I fixed the title of the thread too.

Looks good to me Hope Mason agrees...

You need more than 5 posts. It's to prevent people from posting WTB armor threads as their first post, etc.

Wow Dennis - this is simply beautiful
