Krazy Ivan

If it's an ROTJ trooper you want to do stay away from Rubies and go with CFO suit, your money will well spent and you will get a top notch suit.

This might be of interest to you. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_medic

I was reading this again yesterday and for abit of fun, i thought i would repaint an old pauldron i had. --------

I thought for a bit of fun i would do a colonial marine from the New BSG series, It's not complete yet but it's coming together the hardest bit so far has been the helmet which is the same as used in the series.

I think for the time money and effort it will take to get the Rubies acceptable for the 501st, you would be best off saving your pennys and buy a CFO kit or one of the other kits avaliable.

It can't be considered to awkward or heavy as it was the weapon of chose for British & Australian SAS and depending on the model MP5 they weigh from 2LBs to 3.4 LBs, and yes these special force teams like all special forces have moved to the newer sub-machine guns as technlogy gets better. Why drive a 64 VW bettle when you can drive a 2012 mustang. But all in all i would still love to own one.

Krazy Ivan comes from a weekend away trooping our Garrison did and i had a big night drinking Vodka while wearing my Ushanka hat and some of the guys started calling me Krazy Ivan and the name just stuck.

Don't mean to steal anyones thread but with those measurements what armor would be the best fit ?

Please don't buy this stay away from fibreglass armor.

Found this on E-bay appears Starfortress has had a name change and using someone in the US to sell there rubbish. http://www.ebay.com/...=item27c60b440f

And hopefully no one will after reading this.

Just wondered if this e-11 is ok to use with my TKC. -----------

This Seller has been approached asked to remove any reference to 501st approved but refused he over price's and it's rubbish, any noobs please avoid E-Bay the guys here at FISD will point you in the right direction.

Yes guy is a peice of work he contacts people with offers of armor he doesn't have takes your money and disappears,he's done this scam on a couple of none star wars and car forums as well. here's a link from another forum about this guy: http://www.google.co...FB_OM4w&cad=rja

Just a heads up it appears Conman Mitchell Laine is at it again trying to rip people off with armor he doesn't have he has Pm'ed a member of the RPF with an offer of a TK as well a CTN member with an offer of a Clone Suit he is using the forum name Lucky Nm Slevin as well as the name Slevin.

I was just looking Emotrooper his left thigh is rounded in shape and the other TK face us hid thigh is triangled in shape.

Started this a few months back and thought i would share. http://s664.photobuc...actic%20Marine/

Well if he works at a newspaper have him make a public apology in the paper , or place a sign in the window of his car stating his crime losing a Garrison Coin.

I think this is what they are talking about see the Back and butt plate corners are rounded ANH are squared off.

The helmet looks like an altmanns, as for the rest hope the buyer doesn't try and join the 501st with it. Yes its a altmanns helmet view it here: http://www.starwarshelmets.com/Altmanns_Stormtrooper_helm.htm

Yes if Kashyyyk TK helmet go into production i would love to grab one.

Agreed the Helmet looks great.

TKC approved requesting status upgrade.
