Recommended Posts

RS are top of the line with TM. You can't go wrong with them.

Has anyone had issues with the coloring being that it is ABS? I have seen some slight tinting on ABS parts I bought for some cars and wanted to know if the same issue might be a possibility on this armor set.

Hi Matthew,

 

You can PM TM via his member profile. www.whitearmor.net/forum/user/76-troopermaster/

 

Who might I contact to look into obtaining the TM armor? Been searching around, haven't found anything yet.

I emailed AM for more info a while ago, but i have not received a response. I was interested in AM because I'm 5'9 and 245 lbs. Does anyone know if the email in the first post is still current? Any help on finding an Armor Kit for my body type would be deeply appreciated.

I MADE IT!

 

OK, finally read through all 30 pages!  LOTS of great info here!  Thanks guys!  OK, enough echoing what everyone else has said.  

 

I'm 5' 10" (ish) and currently 245lbs.  I placed my name on the wait list for ATA (10 months, yikes!) and while I don't mind the wait, I'm considering other options as well.  My schedule is changing (graduating with a Masters this month) and plan on getting some exercise in to drop a few pounds.  The wait is also going to give me the opportunity to make sure I've got the finances to get the kit and pick up all the other parts and accessories I need to do the job as soon as it shows up.

 

On the other hand, I'm just a few miles from Trooperbay and I'm considering his MTK kit.  His Sandtrooper build videos on YouTube are awesome!  From what I'm reading, both kits are approvable, and both can make Centurion if I want to go there.  So the question is, what's the benefit of one or the other?  I'm looking at doing an ANH Stunt build.

 

I'm looking forward to the rest of the learning process!

Thank you for taking the time to do so instead of just asking the same things over again.

 

MTK says he made his suit a little bigger in the girth area for the "larger" troopers and has recently also made some tweaks to the moulds for better accuracy. Other than that it comes down to a possibly shorter waiting period.

Type: TE2
Country: USA
Contact: HDPblues on FISD
Kit: HIPS, untrimmed, ANH derived
Availability: Very limited. Only produces set numbers in runs.
Assembly: Armor needs to be trimmed, parts butt joined with finishing strips, then painted.
Comments: Helmet is considered the most screen accurate available, though some don't like the bumpy cap and back.

TE2 is not currently doing runs, but that may or may not change in the near future. Any suits you find now are used. Ah, TE2 armor - definitely for the connoisseur.

 

And yes, I admin my bias, having owned 2 of his suits.

is there anything comparable to TE2 in your Opinion?

In the US ATA, cap-w or mtk. Otherwise TM or RS is more accurate than all of them. Including TE2.

AP is a good armor. Pretty easy to build.
