Dude! I know who I need to bribe now to do my next TE2!

All set Roger & Hunter. Hunter - tell your GWL to stop playing Battlefront long enough to get pix posted to your 501st profile. ;-)

Guys - vendors have the right to sell his items for what the market will bear. Perhaps for you it's not worth the money, for someone else it is. If you don't think it's worth the price then don't buy it. If you think there's an identical substitute for less, then you're certainly free to create a thread about it elsewhere.

I like Mrs. TK409's quite a bit too. Could someone post pix of the TrikToys - would be great to see for comparison. And yeah, I also have one of Wyatt's. I have to say never worrying about forgetting your neckseal is a real pleasure.

Sure - will pick them up on the 15th.

Pix! And a source - I've been after these buggers w/o much success for weeks! :-p

In this case we mean ANH to be "ANH sized", e.g. correctly sized to what was seen on screen. That "ANH sized" armor is done in a very nice ESB configuration. ESB has different handplates and you can see they also got the helmet details correct. For the make, it looks an awful lot like TE, but I think it's AP from the helmet. FYI there are rumors going 'round that FX will be coming out with a new helmet sculpt, but I have no concrete info. Maybe someone else does?

Mine scrape too, but since it's not that bad I think it just makes them look more like the scuffed ones we see on screen

Looking down - ha ha ha - no one really can. I try to look through my teeth for the tots.

They worst part is they are probably registered to vote.

Adding one last: Slippery - let's be clear that you're admitting to recasting Matt's work. You are well aware that recasting is against this Detachment's policy. You can sell what you want on RPF, but that type of behavior is not welcome here. You are also free to state that you had a disagreement with Matt. But baiting anyone on these boards and making personal attacks is also not going to be tolerated. Take it back over to the RPF if you wish. Anyone - and I mean anyone so this is not specific to Slippery or Matt - who engages in such immature behavior will be censured, and if such behavior continues will be banned.

Your GML is the person who will approve your costume for 501st membership. The exceptions to this rule are EU (Expanded Universe) costumes and Sith Lords, who are approved directly by the Legion Membership Officer.

Very true words Tony. I've seen TE armor on someone about your size Mike (first post) and it looked good. If you want FX and get FX there's nothing wrong with that. But it is the fact that of the common makers it's the lowest on the accuracy and acceptability bar, and even if the armor stays around for awhile the helmet's days are surely numbered. I think as long as you are aware of that, then it's OK to move forward. Heck, my sandtrooper is FX (though with an AP lid!) and I don't see myself replacing it until I have to. But then, I've gotten quite a bit of troops out of it, so my situation is different. Just so it's clear - it's your suit and if you like FX there's nothing wrong with that. Enjoy it!

Agreed! Best ever!

That's a pretty cool idea - will certainly enhance the costume I think

No fooling! Perhaps she'll get a ring underneath the Christmas tree this year?

Yes, mine came in black. I'm still trooping strong in them & they're still comfy I might add. Just so you know the boots mentioned in the original post shouldn't even be 501st accepted, though I know some GML's are more picky than others.

A very happy birthday Bernard!

Holy smokes! You weren't kidding - this is the tutorial of tutorials for TE2's!!

Yup, no problems. You can always attend a troop with your local garrison and try a helmet on direct.

And I'll have fist in cash for the first accurate set that becomes available. This and the space pack are the only two items left on my must-have list.

True enough - anything else is just speculation and your imagination is as valid as anyone else's

All set Tom

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. From me and mine to your and yours.

This is a really good example of a well done FX bucket. It's a noticeable difference what a little care to detail does...easy steps but they go a long way.
