bobojuice Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 It's white and made of plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v7sg[TK] Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 its a very nice set, if you could fit in it, I'm a bit larger than your average Trooper so its kinda small on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren[501st] Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'm using AP now for my first build and have found it very easy to work with. The kit comes with plenty of extra strips for making shims and cover strips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich330[TK] Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Out of all the 4 different types of armour (AP, TM, RS & CfO) I have built it is by far the most difficult to build - thick plastic and parts which do not match up well. The end result is also the least pleasing and farthest removed from the on-screen armour it is meant to replicate. The moulds seem to have been reworked quite drastically, presumably to make the limb parts more roomy and cater for larger builds. As a result, the leg parts are far removed from the original shape. Compare AP to other armour with the same lineage (TE, TE2, ATA, SDS) and you will notice that the tops of the thighs look oddly wide and rounded, far removed from the sharp lines of the original suits. -------- Edited January 24, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Check out this AP build by Pete (stukatrooper). Pretty much says the same as Rich------------- Edited January 24, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubVADER[501st] Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 i love it, thanks for your input! the more the better, just want to know as much as possible before the box arrives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 ap is easy to build. rich and paul are masters, but I'm a master at the ap build and it's all in the eye of the beholder. TM is by far not as easy to build compared. the parts match up just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I heard that there's a slight issue with the shin alignments at the back, esaily fixed, but it's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABS80 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Check the build process of the new SiMan armor which was casted directly from ANH suit and a exact replica. ----------- Surprise!!! parts don't align perfectly either, that's the way the original were, the original molds were hand sculpted and rushed for production, parts were far from perfect, Mark (AP) Edited January 24, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Senf Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I just finished my set and i have to say if you re the right size (1,70 to 1,80 and 70 kilo) its a pretty good fit. As far for matching up parts i think its all the same. You have to make it work for your body. I think its a pretty good set but there are, as usual better ones out there and its like said before in the eye of the beholder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daennika Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) I'm 5'3 for 150lb, any kit would be difficult to fit on me, AP just required the least amount of trimming in my case. I love how sturdy it is and that it fits in a typical suitcase. Here is my build:----------- Take your time, research on everything, read many tutorials and you'll be fine Edited January 24, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
