It's quite possible that it will match, and if it's weathered it will hardly matter because of the visual illusion that it will create, remember that most of the time 'who made the armor' doesnt matter, its how you put it together that gets it approved!

So cool! Nice pack!

Stormtrooper TD's are not specifically mentioned by name in the original trilogy, but that is what they are. Thermal detonators (the round ones) are however mentioned by name in the movie(s), so we have to call it that. Just geeky specifics to be honest

Honestly they are so small and hardly noticable that you could just get some spray paint from the store (gloss white) and spray a little on some cardboard and just brush a little on. Nobody will be able to tell the difference or even be looking that close at it anyways so dont go overboard

Take a piece of your armor to a professional paint shop and they can use a tool that has a laser that perfectly matches the color

It's somewhat self explanatory. One joint overlaps another

Cool stuff! love the lights too lol

In the long run its your money and will ultimately be your decision, but from what i can tell RS does have a bit of a standing history with people here, where as AA isn't the most popular, so i'd go with RS simply because i see the name more often and people having their helmet

oh my lord what is this, over $2k for all of that. pish posh on anovos' FOTK, you'd be better off going with Jim's

I think any kind of kit would work well for a TKC. ATA, ANOVOS, etc, as long as the proper modifications are made

That makes sense because they probably had to have a bigger helmet for Boyega

It should just be something like this, but it might vary depending on the type of kit. This is for an ANH kit

lmao why cant they just say "screen accurate copy", adding all the mumbo jumbo just seems like overselling

Do you plan on selling kits when it's all finished?

In the trailer these guys were sitting in a tank, so im assuming it wont fall under path finder

First one looks decent but you're going to have to end up doing a lot more prep work than you want to. The guy on our forum (your second link) is (from what i've heard) very good quality, though i'm not sure if he's still doing kits, i haven't checked it in a while. Personally, I'd go with Derrek's Edit: also just realized that Derrek ships from Germany, so if you're willing to wait a bit longer and/or pay shipping costs then by all means

I would wager you wouldn't even have to sand at all and just go straight to a full gloss clear coat. Make sure you ask someone who has experience with paints about glosses, because a lot of companies say their product is gloss but most of the time they aren't completely glossy and just end up with a more polished semi gloss look

I ordered the shadow trooper from ANOVOS last year in november and it's supposed to ship in June. I also have their OT TK and it's quality is pretty decent so I'm assuming their shadow will be just as good. Check this forum for more possible sellers or information on shadow troopers, they can help http://www.501stspecopsdet.net/ Other than that all the advice I personally can give is based off of my history with ANOVOS, and i have yet to recieve my shadow kit. I wouldn't paint a white Tk though, thats just asking for a pain in the a** if you ask me Also don't forget this http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TX_shadow_stormtrooperthis is your bible when building your kit lol

Although i haven't painted a set of armor before I have painted a lot of plastic and i believe Jim made a video once about what paint he uses and the process he recommends. I believe he uses rustoleum but i could be wrong

Depending on where you are in AK you could ask some of the members from the outpost there to help if you need it myself included http://akoutpost.hoop.la/

Velcro from top to bottom about a centimeter in width
