Drock20J Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I am looking into getting armor and a bucket made by different vendors (approved by FISD of course) would there be a problem with this? IE; the two pieces not looking right together, color slightly off and so on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blandsaft[TK] Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I dont se any problems with this but why two vendors? when we got the best here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuteman Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hm. I got an AM armor and TM helmet and the color difference is not that obvious. A slight color difference should not keep you from basic approval, for EIB or Centurion I don´t know. As long you don´t get yourself a bright white RS PVC with a helmet as cream colored as CFO´s ROTJ helmet I don´t see a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 You shouldn't have a problem with approval but I have had some pieces from TM and ATA and the colour difference is quite noticeable, just depends on what two makes you will be using.

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 in the original films helmet color and armor color did not always match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drock20J Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Well, I have heard the TG's buckets are not the MOST Accurate on the market. So I was going to get TG armor and hopefully a AP Bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuteman Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 What is TG armor? I mean what do those 2 letters stand for and who sells it? Why don´t buy AP armor too? or a complete TMC, ATA, NE, TM, RS or whatever set (armor+ bucket) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATA has great prices but has a 7 month wait list. So to me I thought it would be smart to split them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minuteman Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Sorry, but the fact, that I have never heard of TG on these boards; makes my recast alarm ring ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooper Gear is what he went by in his email but it is Armor Master (AM) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenschein Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Sorry, but the fact, that I have never heard of TG on these boards; makes my recast alarm ring ;-) Some years ago I heard the name trooper gear, but it doesn't ring positively with me... Edit: I apologize! Troopergear is AM contact email. Didn't find out earlier because of the malfunctioning search engine!

Sonnenschein Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'd like to do a search for TG, but the search function isacting up again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drock20J Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Like I said. TG is actually Armor Master (AM) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuteman Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Yeah! Trooper Gear is one of the AM /NE sellers. My memory returns. Have you already bought an AM? The new NE armor together with the helmet looks promising, but I haven t seen a built one yet. Maybe you can go with the complete kit and therewith prevent a color difference ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drock20J Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I could, but from the vendor list it did say that the AM Face was the LEAST accurate. AP has one of the best, thus the reason why I wanted to mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuteman Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 You haven t heard the news? The AM is no longer produced. The new armor sold by Troopergear and TupperwareTK is called NE (Nostalgic Empire) it is much more accurate than the AM and also the helmet is a new sculpt. I saw some build threads here on these boards and the helmet looks sharp and accurate. You can ask both sellers for their prices. Probably worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drock20J Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Already asked for prices! He told me about the NE, but didn't elaborate. So thanks for letting me know! I think I will go with TG and his NE armor! If it looks horrible I will just blame you Steffan! Just kidding of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
