  1. the reason alot of prop makers will not touch tk armor with a 10 foot pole is it seems that every good tk armor and helmet gets recasted and some on here are proud of that fact. there are some VERY good tk armor makers on here so why recast thier work?? they already do a good job and the recast is usually worse than the original.

     

     

    to the people that say the prop makers don't own the IP rights, you are just looking for a reason to recast someone elses work. because you are too stupid or too lazy to sculpt it yourself.

     

     

    support the poeple who make the costumes you wear!!!! because without them you would be wearing rubie's crap.

  2. hey, mrbungle here. got my te2 armor and helmet a few weeks ago and i am now just getting started on it. this will be a slow go being my first tk build. i would like to do a anh hero, so if you see something that is not right. please let me know. help a noob out, man!

     

    here is the kit. te2 ,son..... we ain't messing around over here!

     

    i started trimming up the helmet, that will be the first part of this build. remember kids, four frown holes on the right, four on the left!

  3. here is the thing. tk armor has some really sketchy beginings,. 10 different guys lay claim to THE best tk armor. now, some of that armor has been recasted so many times i have a hard time trying to figure out who made what. that still does not make it right to buy some te2 armor aned start producing te2 ripoff armor. te2 paid for the molds and rights to make that armor. by the time you build a vactable, buy rubber , the hydrocal and the plastic to make suits , you could have bought 5 sets of te2 armor anyways.

     

    now on scratch built props is a whole different ball of wax. when someone does that they produce helmets and armor from nothing but pictures in movies. if i sculpt something from scratch and you buy one and start making copys , i would be livid. you did not spend months trying to get that prop looking right. if you want a make a scratch made prop that is the same as i am doing , i say go for it. but do not take the easy way out and just throw rubber on mine and call it your own.

     

    that is the problem i have with recasters , it is a short cut and dishonest to the guy that sweated and cryed trying to bring that propr to life so you could play stormtrooper or what ever.

     

     

    now i am going to run for cover :)

  4. i have waited along time to get a set of your armor and helmet. i am not backing out. i love the look of your armor and will love it when i get it. don't let the critics get you down. i make kashyyyk trooper armor and helmets. they are not perfect by a long shot. but my kit is better than nothing and will get you trooping as a kashyyyk trooper!!!

     

     

    keep your chin up, tony and thank you for letting me get a set of TE2!!!!!
