It's clear that whoever came up with this little doodle there is making fun of BOTH sides. Still I prefer to be our kind of nutter, especially because many custom Mandos look shucks regarding the costume quality.
A lot of these costumes aren't about being individual, but about cutting costs - That's why you get guys with painted Rubies Fett lids and cardboard armor feeling like a "real badass"...

I'm glad I'm part of the TK crew
-
sweet! I'll be looking forward to them
-
I'd say it's TK photoshop
-
There's some ROTJ fiberglass copies out there who would also be 1st generation somehow.
But I think for ANH there's only the TE lineage really.
-
same principle, but the archive pics clearly show the brackets on the suits were bent wire - this is too 'sophisticated'
-
got the flower rivets today. They're definitely too small, but else they look damn close. Guess there must have been a larger version...
-
well, it's not your fault
I think tkrestonva has swapped them out with someone else's parts, looked ten times better.Here are some more recommendations, if you don't mind:
- Your belt is sitting a little low, it should sit just below the "ridged button" bit on the abdomen.
- I think you - as most AM wearers - have gotten the shins on the wrong legs. The one you have on your left leg with the kneeplate is actually the right shin, and vice versa. Looks a bit dodgy there. Try them on the other way, it should feel a lot better, too! Apparently the finishing strip on the back was put on the wrong side, giving the impression you're supposed to wear them like that...
-
I think that chest is way too big for you. In fact, I think it's way too big for most TKs out there, and it looks so off compared to the real deal... oh well!
-
double post, sorry
-
green plastic. The ROTJ helmets had bubble lenses, ANH had flat lenses for the so-called "stunt" helmets and also bubble lenses on the hero lids (as worn by Luke and Han). They were all green.
-
the armor is mainly cast from a TE suit, not TE2.
There were several helmet generations, so that's hard to say - Scootch is the person you seek if you're interested in CAP stuff these days though
-
if you look at the pic, the flower rivets should be larger than the standard ones.
Anyway, we'll find out soon enough, I simply ordered some of those flowery rivets from that website. Even if they're no good, $5 won't kill me on the quest for uber-accuracy
-
Happy birthday Pete! Live long and prosper
:D -
I think the heads might be a little too small as well. Nice find anyway
-
haha, nice job! We still need that walking carpet though ;D
-
as long as you didn't put any chrome tape on your detonator/o2 can
-
if you're going for the screen accurate look you should NOT put any rivets in that kneeplate... better check the source before claiming such things!
-
Awesomeness... pure and utter awesomeness!
I need to get myself a mannequin
-
And while we're at it: Yep, that guy took some amazing shots, but for some odd reason he preferred my back, rather than taking a cool full shot. The only one where you can see me properly would be this one from the parade:
-
That's Karsten Kremer, he bought Mark FBJ's old rig, and yep, he couldn't be happier
Oh, and we told him he's supposed to wear that holster on the right side, but he wouldn't listen.
-
I love the "I blinked" one, gotta try it myself
-
the hot chick turns out to be his sister, AFTER they made out with each other... yuck!
Seriously! I rather stick to my stunt lid and be one of the crowd
-
I pulled both thighs a little higher, not much actually, but it helped a lot.
The helmet is pretty neat, but trooping was a mess - I know why Luke was complaining!
Is it right to hoard information?

Sorry Mark...
edit: Thought I'd explain: There are two extremes to this argument, and a lot of people who are somewhere in between. Both sides have their fair points, also both sides seem to think they're on a holy mission, explaining all the tension.
Still I think both sides have been clearly stated and there's not much you can do. Do you think this thread will give us new information? I highly doubt it. It'll simply turn into a shucksstorm and won't help either party.
