Best Build Threads? Post them here

[Hermanator]

What are the Best Build Threads for ANH Stunt armor?  Particularly screen-accurate build threads with measurements, methods used, etc.

 

At this point, there are too many build threads for newbies to scan over all of them and learn from.  I have found a few good threads, and a lot of incomplete threads.  Unfortunately, I'm having to filter out the build threads that I look at based on Who did it, how recent it is, and what type of armor it is.  That leaves out a bunch of build threads that probably have great, overlooked advice.

 

I want to build a Centurion, screen accurate suit.  Easier to say than Do without the proper measurements, reference materials, photos, Dos/Don'ts from experience, etc.  I know there are some really good folks here to ask questions to, but I don't want to bug the same people over and over.. we all have lives.. and those people have written the info down before.

 

Please share any build threads that you think folks would really benefit from (and why if you can).

 

If this post becomes informative enough, it'd be nice to have it stickied (or a new thread made and the info copied there).

Most look for threads that use the same armor, then look in the centurion section for recently approved threads of the same armor, find the members forum name then search for their thread. The problem is there is no one thread that is the best, over the years the CRL's change as some older threads become out dated with some build aspects. Unfortunately the searching for the right build and info is something that we all go through.

this thread is asking the members here to put threads in a post?  sounds like our trooper wants to upgrade his vision of a stunt build archive.

the best way sir is to do the research yourself, and then post the results of your search.

 

we don't just sit around an ewok campfire and talk shop.

let's get down to the deal?

 

what kind of armor do you have? and how may I help you as an Imperial Attache'?

 

my personal mission is to help one on one.  and I'm sure glen can help too,

 

the forum only goes so far, that's why I helped to create the mentoring program

 

is it your desire to put all the best into this post?

 

then start adding your data!~

I'd say, don't restrain yourself by looking at only one type of armor builds. In the end, we all tend to the same result, no matter from which armor maker the armor comes from. There are specific issues that come with each kit (except TM i guess) so yes look at some builds of your armor maker but in the end the basis are the same for all.

 

The main ressources i used:

- The "photos References" here on the FISD are priceless. To be checked before all the rest! (you can zoom all the images by right-clicking them): http://www.whitearmo.../forum/gallery/

- The Stukatrooper's albums on Flickr, even though there're a bit old now (easy to find with google)

- The Geaux Saint's TM build here on the FISD

- The EIB & CENT applications are also useful (always look at the Photo References first though).

- and a lot of others build, just picked up informations here and there

 

In the end, you can always ask here, there should always be a kind soul to answer you

many of us bookmark and follow our favorite threads and references, and I thought it would be a good idea to share those in a single place, since the build threads folder has gotten so large over the years and many folks reference the same ones. Not looking to skimp on research.. Just thought it'd be good to have an overview thread that pointed folks to some if the best methods used in building.

 

FISD has lots of good information on it, so much that it's near impossible to organize in a manner such that good information makes it's way to everyone. I was just making an attempt at bringing peoples favorite advice together even closer.

 

Thank you all for sharing the great pointers so far.

each armor is not the same and has it's own individual quality.  one cannot mix TM with RS or AP.

since each has it's own personality.

 

research is not "general" it is purposeful and specific to each type of armor and person.
