aintrabar[TK] Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Lol seems to me moncal and anovos are alike. Most places say double whatever time moncal tells you. Anovos needs to up thrir game. Or people need to request refunds if they are that worried over it. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Heh well Moncal is a three person shop. Anovos alledgely has some factory in china. I orded a mon cal imperial navy helmet in july.. I'm placing bets i get that before anyone gets a vader or Tie pilot from anovos.

charlesnarles Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 They emailed me saying that they're sorry for being so noncommunicative across the board, and how we'll get more regular updates soon. So they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machinimax Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 So looking at what we have seen so far, would this count as Stunt or Hero armor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=Sv3=[TK] Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) So looking at what we have seen so far, would this count as Stunt or Hero armor?Definitely Stunt but the holster is Hero... I guess this is their "wearabily over acuracy" thing... So, unless they provide it disassembled, we might have to get a new fabric belt.

meekerscott Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I can hardly wait for this to come in December. I have a Rubies (armor only) set and I'm practicing trimming and gluing and strapping on that thing, so I don't wreck my Anovos (I got the completed helmet and kit). I originally wanted TM but couldn't fork over enough dough. Can anyone tell me if Gorilla glue works well on ABS, or what kind of adhesives I should practice with? Also, do you think these parts will need to be painted? Please help me to not wreck the good armor. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommanderZel Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 And details like the ab buttons will need to be painted, and the helmet details will probably be decals so if you want a hand-painted look you'll need to remove those and repaint those details, but otherwise the kit won't need any painting. The natural white of the ABS will be white enough, but you can always polish your armor to give it an extra shine. And some people use a chemical finish to seal out oxygen so the ABS doesn't yellow over time, but that's up to you just like the polish is.

Machinimax Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 What kind of finishes do you guys use to give your armor that nice nice shinny seal? Any recommended brands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommanderZel Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) I believe so. You can also get it from Trooperbay, who is a very well-trusted vendor around here.

Machinimax Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Awesome! I didn't know it all it needed was a good polish. I though it was some kind of sealant that gave it the shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meekerscott Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I just tried this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Meguiar-s-ScratchX-2.0/16550259 I use it when I repaint guitars, and just tested it on an unpainted piece of my practice armor, which is ABS. Tremendous shine indeed. It goes all the way to "mirror" shine. I will also buy some E6000, thanks guys, I greatly appreciate the replies.

Comfy Turtle Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Any TIE pilots seen there Anovos set? i'll admit i'm tempted because i hear the wait time on TIE armor is longer then TK. but the price has me unsure. sorry if this isnt the right place to post about it, i didnt see anything about it on jollyroger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan1313[TK] Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I think there are cheaper TIE pilot kits out there, with a smaller wait time. The TK kit was so enticing becuase of price.

Same, people cant pull the short joke on a Pilot, plus if i wear my TK i could just say i flunked out of flight school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
