T/MC Armor Purchased on eBay - Real or not?

[87ninefiveone]

Hi Guys,

 

I found this auction yesterday with about 30 min left on the clock. I was on the list for ATA (already have a helmet in fact), but I'm impatient and wanted a suit to build for Halloween in October and was worried about not getting it in time to do the build. Also tried contacting T/MC via the listing here on FISD a few weeks ago and got nothing back....So, long story short, I picked up this kit unbuilt kit for $750.

From what I can tell it looks right for a T/MC kit, but I just wanted to get everyone's opinion on whether or not it actually is. It appears to be missing any sort of cover strips, but I figure I can always source some ABS for the purpose on the cheap (hopefully).

 

Thanks!

Yes. Could very likely be T/MC. For the cover strips, you could also ask Tray for spare ABS to match the plastic color right.

For what its worth the kit was real. It showed up Tuesday this week and everything was there including a bunch of brochures from moncal's prop making shop.

Sorry Kal, I never got any PMs from you. You said you made contact above so I went back to check. Not sure where you tried. Very sorry about that.

 

As you say, it is and is not proven to be T/MC armor. Its a great kit. Best of luck with the build. Some helpful tips. Use a table top when gluing the forearms and biceps to help hold and make the strips glue flat. Magnets and clamps work well but to get things aligned I found using the flat surface helps hold and place things very well.

Hey Tray, no worriers.  I didn't send any PM's via FISD. At the time I hadn't registered yet and I sent an email to whatever address was listed in the armor supplier thread.
