  1. Accurate 3d printed First Order Stormtrooper

    in TFA Stormtrooper

    Posted

    Over Christmas and New Years I've been busy with family stuff and friends. I did manage to squeeze in some printing and post processing time though. On the left is the first test print that I've made of the helmet. On the right is the updated version in ABS. You can see the registration shape for the "Nose" pretty well here. Don't judge me for not sanding the welding marks  the nose will cover them up anyways.

  2. Clint's FNArmour Analysis

    in TFA Stormtrooper

    Posted

    Thanks Clint for the great thread! This has been quite the process but very glad it's finally settled. I think Peter has no clue where his molds are coming from, that's my guess. Why would you willing send recast parts out for comparison with the originals?? Doesn't make sense. It's a bit relieving to see this come to an end and the community get pulled back together a bit. This was a very heated situation so now everyone can sleep a little easier..

  8. TFA Belt - Neoprene Vs. Closed Cell

    in TFA Stormtrooper

    Posted

    Nice! Looks like I know what I'll use...lol I cant believe how the closed cell held up. How would one get the grooves into the neoprene ? Without damaging it? Is it easy enough to work with? I'd almost think closed cell is easier to work with, but clearly not as durable

  10. ROGUE ONE TRAILER - IMPERIAL STORMTROOPERS!

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    I have to agree with the above from netslave. On basically all of it, but especially that I think these are solely action scene suits. In the originals the most movement we really got in ANH was some "falling" (or laying down with style ), and some walking and easy jogging. In this it seems we're getting a lot more running, bending , flexing , twisting and stuntman work. So for that I think it makes sense. Do they look fantastic? No, but they look good besides the mobility splits imo. I still think we'll see fully kitted TKs with appropriate armor and I don't know about the rest of you out there, but I'm PSYCHED for that desert tank trooper thing lol those guys look sick! That was just my 2 cents :)

  11. Tie Pilot Resources?

    in TFA Stormtrooper

    Posted

    Hi, the new boots soon to be available by Imperialboots. You can ask here, forum user Zhongvador, he is the owner!!<br>

    And you can contact here: contact@imperialboots.com<br><br>

    About flight suit, perhaps Custom Props are working on it, Claudio Oliver in Facebook

    Awesome news! Thanks! I was actually just about to try to find the owner and ask!! The soles to me look the same as or very similar to the TK so I figured they'd be the ones to help out. I'll have to check out that FB link too. Thanks!

    Flightsuit, got it at Cosplaysky.com.

    I know Wampa wear makes some nice ones.

    The gloves I got them on E-Bay. Leather gloves that I paid 25$ shipped.

  17. Tie Pilot Resources?

    in TFA Stormtrooper

    Posted

    Crow Props makes a good flight suit and boots, but his suit is in the $200 range. It's the one most of us working on the build right now are using. Gloves has been the thing I've been stuck on. Look like a form or tactical or MMA gloves. Lots of close but not quite right so far.

    Yep, Crow props is who I've been communicating with. Seems like I'll be going with theirs at this point. Seems accurate and it's made to custom sizing so seems pretty much as close as we can get right now. Thanks!

    [THIS POST CONTAINS UP-TO-DATE RESOURCES FOR THE TFA TIE PILOT]

    Hello everyone!

    I've got a TFA Snowtrooper build on pause, so in the meantime I'm working on aquiring tie pilot gear.

     

    Does anyone know of makers of the flightsuit and gloves? These are the hardest to find and the flightsuit is next to impossible for an inexperienced tailor to make. I saw someone on Etsy had suits for $200 and they looked decent at least. But may be too risky to try out at that price tag.

     

    I'm assuming the boots were probably pre manufactured like the snowtrooper boots and they just bought a bunch of pairs.

     

    Any help would be tremendous!

    Thanks,

    Gav

  19. [TFA] Anovos First Order Price guesstimation

    in TFA Stormtrooper

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    So Jim pretty much seems like the only guy to buy a First Order Stormtrooper armor kit from, but seeing as the waiting list is huge right now,

    do you think he'll continue to be able to make armor in the near future (of this year)?

     

    I really want to buy a set from him, but I'm afraid his waiting list will grow exponentially and will be too long (that he might close it down).

    Seeing as I'll only ask to be put on the waiting list once I have the money.

    Also, his waiting list and main means of contact is on that forum thread. Does he have a website with more information for ordering?

    It's just through the forum, but b he's very prompt. I'm sure you can get on an interest list for the next run or 3rd run without money down and if you need more time he'll push you further down. He's really great to deal with

  21. 3D printing armor - thoughts?

    in Hard Armor (General Discussion)

    Posted

    Yeah Jims is the flexible fiberglass and is $800 I believe. He's updating his armor to be even more accurate (though he is already 501st with that kit). I would message him after January 3rd, I think he's away till then. Definitely worth looking into as it's a little over half the cost of the next cheapest kit

  23. Is this a reasonable price?

    I'm trying to research this 1800 anvos kit. I can't find any video or article to support it. Do you by chance have a article or link supporting that or is it just hearsay right now?

     

    Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

    No I wish I did. I forget what it was based on but someone in the 501st gave that estimate. Personally id like a definite answer. Is assume if Animefan is selling his for 1400 anovos can no way be cheaper than that

    If they sell the kit for 1800-2000 they are high beyond the world. I think 1800 should be ensembled not a damn kit!

     

    Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

    Yeah tell me about it. But it's new, fresh, and off of screen used resources. So there ya go. But I don't think it needs paint, as it's vaformed. I could be wrong. I didn't have the test armor like guys in the 501st. Still, you could get an $800/900 kit from jim, test it, if you don't like it return it or sell it off as opposed to dropping close to $2000. Again though, just going based off of what I've heard.
