    intro and question about armor

    in New Member Introductions Archive

    Posted

    ATA is one of the more challenging builds, as it requires trimming, and butt / strip method of joining parts. Plus it's HIPS, so it does require painting. I believe I'm the first to have completed a full TK build from ATA. Took about 2 months from start to finish. All that said. To me it's one of the more accurate armors out there, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

    I agree, I have a Michael Meyers costume that's spot on. I'm 6"2'...6"4' in lifter boots, and I'm pretty stocky. My house is a corner lot, so I just wander back and forth on my property, just looking scarry. Parents love it, kids get a good scare. I love this time of year!!

    I'd avoid Ebay, most sellers there are recast from other people. porrer quality, and generally to be avoided. Read up on the other armorers out there, ask questions in the Basic Training section, and you'll find who makes what, and get in contact with the best armor makers this side of Endor! Your story is one of inspiration, and it sounds like you'll be a welcome addition to the 501st! Again, Welcome the FISD!!!

    I just don't think it's that hard to do a tad bit of research and reading. I had all the information I needed, and was pointed in the right direction within days of joining. This is a community after all, and I don't think that showing a little desire to be a part of the community is bad. This isn't TK- Walmart, it's an online hobby community. I just don't think it's as difficult as you're making it out to be guys.

     

    EDIT:: Also, Don't forget that this board exists as a Detachment of the 501st. There are 501st guidelines, and rules that the site adheres to per the 501st Charter. Don't lose sight of that fact as well.

    Mabye the 'hoops' are there to see who's really interested in joining the 501st, of becoming part of something, not just looking for a halloween costume. Most people that are here, are here because they really love SW, and the TK especially. Perhaps the small amout of effort that is needed to find out who does what separates those people from the afore mentioned Halloween costumers. Just my thoughts. I don't know of any 'elitists' here. I've only been here a few months, and everyone's been awesome to me, and any other new people I've seen.

  21. Talking about recasted armor or pointing fingers?

    I had brought up a similar topic, taking a piece and modifying it to fit better. I was referring to personal use, not for sale. I have thought of learning how to make armor, and I thought it would be a fun hobbie to get into. Problem is I don't have the artistic skill to make an armor mold from scratch. I'd be good at modifying a mold but I don't think I could make a set from scratch. Since I don't think that copying someone else's work is right, I'd never make copies, even if I was going to refine them, and rework them. I think this discussion has merrit,but I don't think that copying others work is a very honorable way to do things, and IMHO goes agains the moral fiber of the 501st in general.
