Hello again, this is only my second post here but its gonna be a long one.
Ive always wanted a TK armor set since high school. Couldn't afford it of course. Joined the military. Was too busy and poor for the next 5 years. Started looking at armor again and had just finished the Republic Commando books and loved the art for that armor. Wanted to get a squad together. shucks happens. Guys dropped out, divorce, etc. Couldn't afford it again. Now I'm single and well enough off to spend a nice chunk of money on something I've dreamed about for 10 years.
Ive been doing the research about Kits for almost three years now. I know not to buy from eBay, shucks just looking at those I can see that most of them are commercial knockoffs. There are a few already build kits there, but I want an experience with my armor. I want to build it. I want to know it. So now that Ive saved up enough money to do whatever I want, Ive come here. And spending countless hours reading the threads I have discovered there are a lot of options. Ive emailed a few makers to get quotes and whatnot, but then I discovered the EIB. I want this to happen, I want to make a centurion suit.
Here are my questions. Im looking at the different armors and whatnot and I would like to know what kit would be best for a centurion build. I know RS is super screen accurate but its also three times more expensive than ATA. Is it that much better? AP also looks like a good option and its a little closer to home and in between price wise. Are there other better suited kits for my specific goals?
I have all the confidence in the world as far as it comes to building and modding my own gear. No probe there. I am going to be attending Celebration in Los Angeles next year and hope to be a 501st Legion member by then.
