I don't think it does - I think it was a term the newbs were throwing around for an ugly recast...or something...

Seriously - what is this "New FX"?

I can't believe you could get that great of a pull from that thick of plastic! Awesome job!

Check out this section here: http://whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showforum=18 Elite status is a detachment "award" for meeting certain requirments on your armor. That's the best way I know how to describe it...

We've done that already...I guess you missed that post! Make sure you use the search function! Love those hand plates! That was one of the first things I was wanted to make when I bought my first set of armor! I just don't know how to do something like that (I just never tried). Those just look awesome!!!

Can you post some pictures? Sounds like a good idea!

His or mine? His are glued on like they were in ANH...mine are just ABS with elastic straps (wrist and palm).

Visual dictionary version or the canon one?

Like I said I got these at Home Depot with the cleaning supplies (bottom shelf). I think they were $5 or $10...not pricey at all. Not sure how accurate the palms are...

Great find indeed! I found a great pair at Home Depot, IIRC they look the same as yours! I will take some pictures later tonight and post them - I could be wrong though. You wouldn't happen to want to make me a set of vinyl handplates do you? BTW - are you the same "Stromtrooper" that is on the RPF?

I'm pretty sure in Paul's letter to the church at Ephesus, he wasn't referring to Stormtrooper armor! Good verse though!

Don't let him in!

I'm drooling over here!!!!

Plus that's how they painted the ANH/ESB helmets! Edit for spelling! doh!

Yep! I want a set of TM armor myself, but I have to wait until after I finish my wife's Zam costume! Then I can upgrade my armor!!! That's plenty of motivation to finish her Zam!

He looks awkward...

Yep - I was going to say both look like SE troopers

Let's see those pictures...

I have one of Wyatt's underarmor shirt with neck seal built-in and I love it! You don't have to worry about it coming untucked since it's built it...really nice fit too!

Yep - that's Gino's prices... he was selling his Hero helmets for $900 last year.. too much in my opinion... and I wasn't worthy enough to purchase one anyway ::rolls eyes:: He told me they were all sold out, and then days later told another member (on MEPD) that he still had a few left. Oh well - that stunt is still a nice looking helmet. Great idea about the clear coat on the inside with the welded nuts!

What is the "New FX" I have never heard of that until I joined these boards...and I consider myself pretty well versed in TK armor, helmets and makers...

To further what Daetrin was saying - ANH armor was reused for ESB (and new armor wasn't made for ESB)- so essentially it is ANH armor (therefore there really isn't any ESB armor)...but that trooper is sporting the ESB look (Different handplate, right holster and the black frown on the helmet)

The accurate gloves for ANH were just black chemical rubber gloves - not practical for trooping, but just throwing that out there. I bought a $5 pair of women's fleece gloves at Wal-Mart and have used them for over a year, and no one has ever said anything about them (negative or postive) I think no one really notices your gloves in they first place.
