sithstalker Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Hey forum wondering if anyone has ordered RS prop masters armor full assembled? I am looking to buy this early next week. I would just like an outside opinion. Also is PVC or ABS plastic the best for trooping? I have done some research and I am thinking about going with the PVC plastic. I'd just thought I would ask here before I went ahead on the purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog44[TK] Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 There have been two recent topics started asking the same question and I think you might find some info there. I have a PVC kit and bought it in 2012. I bought it after reading that PVC was better for trooping but from those recent posts, some members said that is not the case and that ABS is stands up better. My PVC armor is very thin and really flexible but it has been mentioned that more recent PVC armor from RS is thicker and less flexible. Some replacement parts for my PVC kit recently received do seem thicker so maybe they have changed some things which may make it more prone to cracks and original brackets popping out. I have not done any trooping yet so can't give you an experienced opinion but I am hoping it will be durable enough. When I build a Sandtrooper I will probably go with ABS now that I already have PVC. If you are keen to have things like the original movie Stormtroopers, I suggest the ABS since it was what they used. Go with the PVC if you are looking for a bright shiny white TK. I think both materials are prone to some sort of damage when trooping so maybe there is no best answer here. Might just come down to preference in appearance. Either way RS armor looks really nice and with care I think it will last long enough to enjoy lots of trooping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I love RS armor. the original brackets do fine for some, other's have experiences breakage just like in the original film. finding a way to keep movement to a minimum might be an answer, as well as care in handling you have to know how to carefully handle, carry wear and pack original strapped armor, since it does not come apart. this adds pressures and stress to the chest bottom and abdomen top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay away from this, for the love of Pete. Get the ABS version if you are set on a RS suit. Otherwise, look for a ABS suit from Troopermaster. He is in the UK and sells an amazing set of armor.
