The method of construction is standard to all makers, but some use a slightly thicker material. I don't feel you're going to gain anything from an "upgrade" other than a mismatched white colour. The Anovos white is very much creme and there's very few makers, if any, that supply in anything close to it. RWA don't have a site, you'll find a lot of the TK kits are sold behind closed doors. It makes getting your foot in door tricky but if you have an Anovos kit you'll be fine. There's plenty of people here with them and they can be built to an incredibly high standard if you take your time to do it right. Mine is Anovos, theres a full build thread in my signature. You haven't set up your profile so I can't tell where you are? Where are you based? Signing up with you're local Garrison is always a good way to get some local help if needed and all Garrisons have differing procedures to get trooping so it pays to sign up early.

The simple answer is 40 years of technology advancement in film, prop and costume technology. Not to mention the inflation adjusted budgets are probably wildly different. If they could have had these, or similar, in 76 they would have. To think otherwise is probably foolish. Personally I really like the RO TK. I'd love one to troop in I like the detail and I like the clean lines. I just don't want to spend the non trivial number of cars to get close on one. This isn't to say I don't like the older TK, I love my ANH and would like at least an ESB Mk2 and a ROTJ bucket also. The exact construction is tricky, but the main armour pieces are cast separately from some of the detail parts which are then added after. I'd assume this is just to make the casting process easier. It doesn't look sprayed, but it could be. Theres a few areas of wear that have stayed the white, others have darkened but that could be dirt.

The going name is the E-22 for this, do you have a photo of the DL-22 name on something anywhere? Interesting you can see the print lines on one of the parts too!

I'm surprised theres not more fuss around this, you know why if you've seen the trailers/read the card in the photo. I'd probably give this to the gunners detatchment wise. I know the crew are IOC but that doesn't feel right either to me.

I just wish they actually made it possible to get their product with out having to hunt around on eBay as they sent 3 FO Troopers and 10273 Obi Wan to each shop. Yes I did struggle to get my OT and FO TKs and have probably missed out on the Sabine and Shoretrooper why do you ask?

Done.

The 421 are what you want for a Origional Trilogy Stormtrooper and standard advice is order up 1 size.

http://www.imperialboots.com/ Though they do wave based ordering, so their next run isn't until the new year.

This is looking like a really nice build.

My understanding is BS have a strong no manufacture naming policy. I might be wrong though.

The colour used for the tan paint was discovered last night. It's great we're still getting discoveries now even with all the great reference.

Also did you press start? I know it sounds silly but you wouldn't be the first person.

I really want to order all of his stuff but that quality doesn't come cheap!

No. the app can only be IOS as its written in swift.

I am pretty sure there is a reasonably regular armour party in FL somewhere. Sign up with the Garrison and you might be able to get a bit more info on it. Worth doing that anyway. Most Garrison forums are fairly sparse untill you're an approved member and get full access.

The iPhone is rather picky about things. 9/10 problems were the splitter used. The other 1/10 was the connection on the mic needed an adapter. Have you had a look at: http://www.cpearson.me.uk/tkvoice/hardware/ A picture will speak a 1000 words too, so a photo of the set up with all the parts will help me diagnose issues faster.

They don't do discount codes like they used to. They only offer sale periods now for things like black friday or "con specials".

That's Sean's one which is the one I have. I have a printrbot play which is only 4x4x5" so between the 54 pieces I've cut it into and a roughly 60% sucess rate it's taking a while.

Guessinging from the list are you located in the UK? If so make sure you head over to the UK Garrison and sign up there. It's also worth considering a self build still, lots of help is available to those who ask and also it helps keep the costs down a bit. Chris.

The EIB and centurion logos are available in the staff area so that won't be a problem. My only hesitation is that Tim has already said that something was in the works and I'd hate to see a waste of effort due to duplication. Edit: oops there was a 2nd page. Is the script on the server, which is why it requires a login? Is there a way to automate more or at least be able to run it on a personal system?

Not sure how I missed this. Great comprehensive tutorial! Once I finally get my helmet printed I'll have to come back to these tutorials and follow them as best I can.

I'm sure most of you has seen the image below. These Billgrams have become a bedrock on which many TKs have been built. However this image, and 1 very similar, has a colour on it no longer deemed correct. Rather than carrying on explaining it I've made a new diagram, sorry no catchy name this time, with just the correct colours. The images show the Humbrol colours, but the Testors equivalents are shown too if that's easier to source. All this was built upon Billhags work, so it would be wrong for me not to thank him for it. He's also my GML so he has had a hand in me getting this far in more than just billgrams. I already owe him a pint, so Bill if you see this and the opportunity presents it's self, make that 2.

Looking good!

Well done steve, welcome to the club!

Okay heres the wording: "Based on a real or replica Sterling sub-machine gun, scratch-built, or a modified commercial toy Stormtrooper blaster." Maybe it would be better written as: Based on a real or replica Sterling sub-machine gun scratch-built a modified commercial toy Stormtrooper blaster So it can be based on a real fire arm or replica. OR be scratch built. OR be a toy. Also bare in mind a replica might be a rubber or resin casting, like the large portion of trooper use. Does this clear up the issue?
