Dday[501st] Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Understood! Along those lines, does anyone have deferences to the Havoc squads defection? I know wookiepedia has a paragraph on it, it just says it happened, and eventually they were all tracked down and taken care of. More details would be great, if anyone knows where I can find them.

bishopx Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I don't know anymore than that. I think it's just Lucasfilm lore at this point. I don't recall having seen any artwork of the squad at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopx Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 We've started working on the shoulder straps now that the chest and back armor bucks will be completed today. The shoulder straps are interesting. You can't really see them but they have some really neat lines to them. It's a shame that they are mostly covered.

bishopx Posted December 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) The helmet run is now open. I've posted the purchase info in the Ongoing Sales forum. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/22367-armormx-republic-trooperhavoc-squad-helmet-run-now-open/#entry279305 Edited December 8, 2012 by bishopx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopx Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 We will be adjusting these shoulder straps. They are a tad short. They are accurate but they do not fit a normal person well. Extending them by approximately 2". They look really good though. They are cast in a solid elastomer (rubber) and reinforced with a canvas webbing. The ends have 1/8" aluminum plate cast into them. The plate is drilled and tapped for a 10-32 button head screw. holes are drilled from the inside of the armor and the screws pull the straps to the armor. Solid lock. Very sturdy. The straps are not yet painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopx Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 HELMET RUN - OPEN UNTIL DEC. 21ST Our helmet run closes out on the 21st. The list will be updated. We are at about 1/2 capacity of our list. I will update it later today. There are some other great helmet kits out there so if you miss out on this one, you will be able to get one of those to wear with the armor if you are intending on purchasing our armor.

bishopx Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Tonight we got a lot done. We drilled the final chest and back armor bucks. The ventilation holes ensure the details is captured during the vacuum forming process. Shoulder bell, biceps and shoulder pad all had final coatings and will get molded. The shoulder bell and biceps will become vacuum form bucks and the shoulder pad will get molded twice in two-part molds. The shoulder pads will be cast in hyperfirm rubber. The rubber will be fairly light weight and durable but mostly, it will allow the shoulder bell to ride up higher at the proper level. We were also able to remodel the shoulder straps longer by 2" tonight. We will 3D print them to save time and get them back into a mold quickly.

bishopx Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Version 2 of the shoulders straps....ready to mold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopx Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I think it's time to get an interest list going since this is an interest thread... Obviously, price will be a factor for everyone. We all know what kit style armor usually goes for. I'm imagining this will be more expensive that normal kits that are out there but within reason. We'll nail down the price once we get closer. We'd like to get a general idea of how many people will be interested in this armor as it will most definitely impact the price of the armor kit.

bishopx Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Well. We got some final vac pulls back today. They look great. We were hoping to get 4 sets back but we got 2 sets....Someone can't count. they look great anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopx Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 We've ordered 6 sets of the chest, back, shoulders and biceps. These sets will be distributed to the test builders and we'll help them assembled the sets to determine what problems others might have when trying to assemble the kits. We've assembled the test parts as we've gone through this project and haven't run into any problems. Things we will be pre-assembling... 1. Visors on helmets will have the steel t-nuts installed out of the box. 2. Shoulder straps will have the threaded armatures pre-drilled for quick installation into chest and back armor. 3. Rubber gauntlets will be pre-assembled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopx Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 BAm! Rubber shoulder pads. Accurate style! These are, of course, raw and unpainted. A little Krylon semi-flat black and these are done. These are hyperfirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentry02[501st] Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Any idea on a sale date for those shoulders? They're dead on and I'm quite interested in obtaining a pair from you guys. Please just let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palpatine1977 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Wow. This looks utterly fantastic, I can't imagine the amount of work and man hours put in to this project. Like someone else mentioned, I would also be very interested in getting my hands on some of the Sith armour from the TOR trailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St4rw4r5 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 This armor looks amazing, will the helmet run be opening again soon? Or any of the armor for that matter? Looks great though guys, may the force be with you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
