  1. First off, he didn't have to show his moulds to anyone, however if he does use his own molds to form his armour and he were to show them it would stop people accusing him of recasting someone else's work. Which brings me to another point you made "Is he hurting you" the answer is no he is not hurting me personally but if, and I repeat IF he is recasting the work of others he is "hurting" someone. Last point, TK's do not cost $3000! Mine is from a vetted member and cost £800 all in. And as I always like to end on a high, you look the business in the armour, nice build Trooper.
  2. I bought one of Ross's kits over a year ago after following build threads on the UKG forums. Ross is a great guy, extremely helpful and offers amazing advise.<br><br> I bought his 2mm capped TK armour, all I can say is it's an amazing kit to work with, the quality is top draw, very sturdy but also very flexible. I can't recommend this armour enough, if your UK based and looking for a great set of armour with amazing service and after service look no further.
  3. It looks as thought it's a few Garrisons allowing his armour, he has "evidence" of the French Garrison clearing his armour too. I only ask as I keep calling him out on Facebook where he reponds with those examples, looks like he has since deleted my comments too. Classy dude!
  4. Can any of our Canadian friend confirm the legitimacy of this?<br><br><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4183/34729411125_0d9596b9b6_z.jpg"alt="34729411125_0d9596b9b6_z.jpg">
  5. I think they're genric sound loops, but specifically generic if that make sence, for example during our last visit to Hollywood Studios, my daughter went running up to them and one of them said "woahh, slow down there youngling!" I wouldn't be surprised if most of the responces are controled within a glove remote and some are controled by a handler.
  6. Incredible Jim, such sharp detail, true craftsmanship.
  7. I did top and bottom on mine, no bite and a tone more manuverability, I can actually walk up and down stairs now!
  8. Marc I've just realised your a fellow City fan! Great to see another Blue on here, and your rockin the RWA, nice choice mate.
  9. How do these compare with ShearTechs rubber blasters?
  10. Any plans to add RWA to the list, quality set of armour that is becoming popular in the UK, theres a few Troopers who have gained EIB and Centurion Status with the kit.

  13. Looks like he's still in buisness! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Screen-Accurate-Star-Wars-Stormtrooper-Helmet-Slotted-Hovi-Mix-Pa2-Mic-tips-/222502257953?hash=item33ce2b0521:g:Mi4AAOSw3ZRY-8-y Really sorry to say this Mark, but I bought a set of completed ones off this guy over a year ago , didnt realise he was a recaster at the time (I've only just become aware of this thread), the pictures on this listing seem different to yours (the HOVI text being in the "correct" place). I havn't got mine at hand at the moment but I'll take a look at them when I get home and see what he is acctually selling.
  14. Well after a bit of digging I have found a solution to gluing my silicon handguards to my Nomex gloves, the answer was Aquarium Sealant glue.very simple to do, just glue then backs of the handguards, place them on the gloves and weight them down with 2 or 3 heavy hard back books and leave them for 48hrs. The glue behaves very much like E6000, it also has similar properties once dried (waterproof, flexible etc) ---------------
  15. Am I right in thinking that this is the 2 part glue people are talking about?
  16. Great tutorial, much needed as I've just taken far too much off mine, luckily the armour I have came with two sets of ears. Thanks. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
  17. OK so finally made a start last night, I must admit the ABS took a little getting used to, I used a combination of scoring and snapping and also using curved scissors for the more intricate parts, I quickly discovered than my scissors are rubbish, so I'll be buying a better set.<br><br><br> The edges are a little rough so I'll tidy them up with some sand piper, depending on how my new scissors are I may just use a dremmel for the tricky part, what are people's thoughts on that?
  18. TM will build a set for you I think he charges around £500 on top of the armour price, CfO also do a build service at around the same price. Have you thought of using RWA? I was gonna go the TM route however I found RWA on the UK garrison forums they do a fine set of armour for much less than the above options I'm not sure if they offer a build service though.
  19. Well after months of research looking at possibly every possible armour build, big box day is finally here!<<br> I went with RWA for my armour, great price and Ross is a great guy! He also does extended calf/shin parts which were a must for my lanky self!<br> Great set of armour this, 2mm ABS capped so it feels nice and sturdy. I must admit I'm a little overwhelmed at the moment and unsure where to start. I've bookmarked a few RWA threads and I've gathered some advice from Ross and a few other experienced armour makers. I think I'll start on the arms and legs as they seem like a good way of getting used to working with ABS, I'm gonna go slow and steady and hopefully avoid any major problems.
  20. Nice build so far. How's RWA shaping up so far in terms of quality, how does it compare with TM's armour?
