Thanks, I've actually read a lot of those already lol. I started my first thread over there.

Okay, let me ask you this. How big of a difference is there between something like RS/AP and ATA? Why is the cost so vastly different?

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.

Hey guys, thought I would intro myself here. Currently living in Great Falls, Montana although deployed to the middle east for another month or two. Active Duty Air Force, just fyi. Was previously stationed in Santa Barbara County, California. Loved it there and plan on going back as soon as they let me.
