TK8280 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 After reading several topics over the last year, I have noticed a trend in the purchasing of armor...Alot oof the concerns we have had on these boards comming from the "New People" is how hard is it to put together? But is TK armor really that hard to assemble? No matter what the make is, the most you would have to do is trim it, paint it, then fit it to yourself in my opinion...but thats just me If you all have any more choices that I forgot, please feal free to add them PLEASE Give me your feed back as to your opinions on each sets, because we don't all own everything Personally I think that the TE-2 would be the most difficult TK to assemble, but, no where difficult as puttin together clone armor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 From hardest to simplest, I'd rate them this way: TE2 - has to be fully trimmed, painted, and the parts are asymmetrical. Also requires strips method on arms/legs. AP - same as above, but at least you don't have to paint RT - fully trimmed, parts are made to be easily assembled. But there is more adjusting due to split back FX - easiest. Can buy pre-assembled with strapping too SDS - comes pre-assembled with straps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-4935 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 My SDS was a nightmare to get right for trooping as i had to take it all apart and redo most of it cos it looked like it had been put together by monkeys wearing mittens (it probably was, i think they call them Art students these days ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Would TM also have the same assembly difficulties as TE2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butah Fett Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I say fiberglass because more than likely it's a poorly done recast or a complete fan scult of some sort. There's no standardization in those sorts of things and could be hell to get together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
