TK Keith[TK] Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 I can answer the first one. This is from Gazmosis' build When you ask for two right biceps it'll look like this (minus the thumbprint mod): This is what you get when you don't order it that way. this is from my brown box pics (still a WIP): The lefts are curvier than the rights. I am curious about the left and right biceps not matching. Is that more screen accurate? I didn't know about this until after I already got my ATA box. Are there a lot of troopers out there with mismatching biceps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich330[TK] Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Long story short. Original suits had a left and a right bicep (not mirrored, not identical). The original suit found in the dumper was incomplete (only had one bicep). The first suits cast simply had two identical biceps. Somewhere down the line, someone (don't remember the details, TE?) cast another bicep from a tour suit. Since then, some replica suits have been available with proper left and right biceps (two different parts). AP still uses the two identical biceps parts. There's arguments in favour of both solutions. With the extra tour suit biceps you have a proper left and right side. But the biceps part from the tour suit does look significantly different to the original one. Some say it looks out of place and it's better to have two identical biceps. I say it's better to get TM or RS armour. I am curious about the left and right biceps not matching. Is that more screen accurate? I didn't know about this until after I already got my ATA box.

Tramposhay Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 So We ordered the ATA full kit and the helmets turned up a few days ago - Last night we spent a few hours building them here is what we've got so far! Please take a look and feel free to let us know where we've gone wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tramposhay Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 we both found that actually getting the helmet on our heads is pretty tight and have to put it on at an angle to be able to get our heads in, is this normal? I picked up some paints today and plan to finish the ears and paint some tomorrow! I'll post pics when were done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you have to turn the helmet 90 degrees when you put it on. That is normal. You can see Luke do it in ANH too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
td8903 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 which set of armor is made for the bigger trooper. is it AP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigironvault Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Definitely not AP (depends what you mean by "bigger" height or weight). From what I've seen RT, AM would be better. AP is really made for screen sized troopers without too much tailoring. 5'10, 150ish lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
