hawktrooper83 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hello all troopers. I'd like get hints and help with starting my armour. My budget is very tight. I want a TK uniform but don't know how to do it because of my budget. If anyone can give tips or hints I would appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knockerbot[501st] Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Do it real slow, buy everything over a long period of time. I'm going quick and it seems I'm dropping a few hundred a week right now for tools and everything Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drunken hutt[TK] Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Started reading this thread not long ago and it's clear there is a lot of consideration to make before buying the suit that matches your needs/dimensions/budget etc. While I haven't researched all the sellers of TK armour types, the one that seems to have catched my eye the most is RS Prop Masters. Apparently they blur the lines between a Licenced and fan-made seller, while making prop replicas cast from an original New Hope helmet and armour. I note, however, that RS are not on the original post of vetted vendors so I am unsure as to whether they're reputable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseSwampy[TK] Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 RS are on the list of vetted armour makers, they are reputable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snakeman[TK] Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I´m about to start my first costume. So far i´m leaning towards RS-prop "ready to wear"-package. I´va heard in other 501:st-forums that this is a good quality armor. They take your measurements to make the armor fit your body. I want it "ready to wear" because i´m simply not the handyman and i´m eager to join the 501:st to raise money for kids. Any thoughts? Ideas? Helping words? It would be most appreciated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the money to do it, but not the time. Go for it. Another maker of the same level is TrooperMaster which is a little "smoother" in the design, but just as accurate and he can also build it for you.

Snakeman[TK] Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I have descided on a RS-armor. However... It seems like they don't have the E11-blaster in stock. Where did you guys get your blasters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader_6[TK] Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) I got my DoopyDoos on Ebay. But they haven't put any on stock in a while. You can check here on the forum for other sellers. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/28047-Phoenix-Props-E-11-Stormtrooper-Blaster-kits-%28A-New-hope%2C-and-ESB%29 http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/32533-Stormtrooper-ANH-e11-Blaster-Full-Kits-Available%2E Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited October 28, 2015 by Crusader_6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me and I can send you details I received this past weekend from the RT-Mod & AM guys. I'm a bit smaller 6'1"ish 220lbs. Emails were very infomative and helped me decide. Otherwise, you could just email them all, friendly and helpfull, and they will answer any questions. I also inquired to AP and ATA makers, but they are smaller armor kits.

Machinimax Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 So I'm currently waiting on an ANOVOS armor kit but I want to have a fall back just in case since we've been seeing some issues already.

ABS80 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) New AP kits now easily fit up to 38" waist full wrap around body without the need of shimming which is the case with most movie derived suits since the original suits were made for slender type bodies, we also extended width on all legs parts, finally bigger framed people can now own a movie derived suit without the need of extra shimming for a seamless authentic look, and the good thing is you can easily trim down to original movie size without affecting the actual parts, plus we added many new upgrades, molds are finally done will post photos or new parts soon!
