  8. TFA First Order Trooper (research and build)

    in TFA Build Threads

    Posted

    Imagine, if Jim had the resources that anovos had. It's hard to for me to understand how anovos got the access to screen used suits and then missed the mark by a mile. It makes me have to wonder how close they got to see them or what exactly they were looking at.

     

    So far, everyone has gotten about as close to movie accuracy as the FX stormtrooper did.

    This suit will most likely remain as a fan made item. I don't think disney is going to let a suit out of sights for recasting. Certainly we won't be finding any in attics or the garbage.

     

    I almost wonder how fast the material degrades.

    Prove it.

     

    And I'll gladly suggest the court ordered settlement be that you have to burn all lower body extremity coverings in your possession ...

    I don't understand why you want proof? Take a look yourself at screen used armor, then compare it to anovos?

     

    No proof needed. See for yourself. If what they claim is true everything should line up perfectly.

    So you're calling anovos liars? Got any proof that's not fifth hand hearsay with regards to the tfa suits that they lied? If you do the class action lawsuit for damages from every owner will be awesome.

    It's not the place for this as I said, and it has been discussed upon before. Not only for TFA trooper, but pretty much anything they put out people find the gaps.

    It´s an amazing Kit but Anovos had (or has) more recources and they had access to the originals so they could do it way more accurate :) But The5thHorseman I completely understand you I am a perfectionist too and I will wait till the Anovos Kit is released ( Or maybe someone has a kit left over)

    I would take that information with a grain of salt. The company has claimed and continues to claim many false statements. The don't like being called out either. And they don't respond with anything other than trust me. They have reworded multiple times how screen derived the armor is, each time getting more vague. But that is a discussion for another thread really.

    In my opinion, Jim's kit has too much shape and dimension issues to my liking. The foreams, backplate, thighs, chest plate... Worst of all being the helmet. Overall it looks like a FOTK of course, and it's enough for many, but I personally don't like this kind of issue.

    Anovos kit has issues in those places as well. The forearms on Jims kit are definitely proportionate to screen armor. I'd go as far to say Jims kits back plate has a more accurate sizing and shape. Jims thighs can be shaped properly aswell with trimming.

     

    Sure it looks off compared to Anovos armor. But compare it to screen armor and you'll find its not so bad, and the few areas that are can be trimmed to shape. Compare anovos to screen armor and you'll also find things mishapen. Especially the helmet.

    I found that once the belt boxes were secured through the various layers of the belt, it stays together quite well. Check out Tony's build thread (UKSwrath) for guidance on this.

    Will do!

     

    I painted a FO helmet and those areas came out bad for me. I recommend to keep on trying with the stickers!

     

    Oh and I received my Jim armor yesterday! The box was roughed up badly but luckily the only damage was to the TD, which should be easily fixed with bondo.

    That's the reason I'm trying to get the decals down. I know I'll botch the paint for sure. Ouch I work for the post office EMS packages are always beat, hopefully mine is alright

    Actually, based on some recent pics like from the Wired magazine feature, you can see that the biceps have a seam on the inside. I believe the thighs also have a seam on the inside. If you look at Finn's pic in the visual dictionary, the thighs overlap on the inside. In one of the pics of the stormtroopers in the VD you can seam coming undone on the inside of the bicep.

    Correct Jim! The thighs have a seam on the inside middle that closes with velcro. Most of the time you'll see the thighs not lined up inside. And believe it or not the seam is sometimes covered by white gaffers tape.
