PGHtrooper21 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I was thinking the same. I saw on The Dented Helmet, they also make Fett armor. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerfresh Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I've just ordered a set direct from him after doing a bit of research. I narrowed it down to either RWA or RS for my first TD kit, there are quite a few build threads with this armour and I have only heard positives so decided to give him a shot. Ross is a nice guy too, so that always helps Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troopacoola[TK] Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 RWA have a great reputation in the uk. Great customer service and quick shipping. My next build is RWA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkblitz Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Depends which RWA you're talking about (there are a couple). If you're talking about Ross in the UK, I agree with the person above. Recently bought a kit off him, great kit and service, also a great help if you have any problems. One thing I will say to anything considering him on here, Ross is mainly active on the UKG forums (ross8008) rather than these ones. So, that's where you'll see most of the work and be able to contact him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrawn's guard Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) I'm currently considering purchasing a set of this armour in the new year so glad to see the positive feedback. I've also met Ross a couple of times and he does come over as being a nice and helpful guy. One question for those of you with more experience than me with regard to armour builds. Would this armour be suitable for centurion with the 501st? Edited December 16, 2016 by Thrawn's guard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this armour be suitable for centurion with the 501st?I don't know the exact count but there's at least 1 RWA centurion, probably a few more but you'd need to scan through the forum.

Daetrin[Admin] Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 First I've heard of RWA. So, it's a recast of CAPv1 or CAPv2? Is it a straight recast, or did he clean anything up? Anything else on the armor that we should know about, e.g. thickness, quality, differences between other TE derived armor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else on the armor that we should know about, e.g. thickness, quality, differences between other TE derived armor?RWA refers to the makers initials. Ross made his own molds, he does a lot of trade over here in the uk and tends not to ship abroad, I think mainly because not many people know of his kits. My build is RWA and I'm really happy with it. Great customer service, quality, and value. They're based on the aisle of white hence the small vac formed RWA island you get with your order.The kits come in 2mm capped abs and 1.5mm abs (which is the one I went for) Hope this helps As posted earlier he can be contacted via the UKG. Hope this clears things up. Marc Edited December 16, 2016 by CTID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Looks like Marc beat me to it. I'll personally vouch for RWA, not that it counts for much, but I'm betting I'll not be alone. The kit may not be well known on FISD but to jump straight to that conclusion is a touch reckless.

The kit may not be well known on FISD but to jump straight to that conclusion is a touch reckless.I think that "recast" queerie was in refference to an earlier post about another armourer with the same initials? A bit of confusion me thinks! I think for clarity people need to know that RWA which is not recast is the RWA that is based on the aisle of white Marc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Yes, I was referring to the earlier post. So it seems he is CAP derived just like ATA. My question still remains, did he make any alterations or is it direct? I know ATA made some changes and still tweaks from time to time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And making improvements. As for whether the kits are derived from other kits, I don't think so. I believe they are self sculpts, but I'm not an expert in this!

Anything else on the armor that we should know about, e.g. thickness, quality, differences between other TE derived armor? RWA is one of the main respected kit providers in the UKG, also being one of the accepted armourers on their website. As for the origins of his TK moulds, I don't believe he has mentioned it publically so no-one can say for certain without asking him directly. However, I do know that he has used self-made moulds in his various projects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
