Medic2002 Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) So I was lookin around online trying to find a way to get my hands on a suit of First Order armor. That's when I came across this. It's a Godsend pricewise but it seems too good to be true. Am I missing something......? <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://m.ebay.com/itm/New-Arrival-STAR-WARS-Stormtrooper-DIY-Paaper-and-EVA-Wearable-Cosplay-1-1-/172232934908?nav=SEARCH'>http://m.ebay.com/itm/New-Arrival-STAR-WARS-Stormtrooper-DIY-Paaper-and-EVA-Wearable-Cosplay-1-1-/172232934908?nav=SEARCH</a> Edited June 27, 2016 by Medic2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) Looks like a lot of work to get from the cut up pieces of paper and glue them together stage to the finished approvable armor stage. You would need to strengthen all the pieces, cover with fibreglass and bondo, sand, prime and paint.

TK4205 Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Ā Google "pepakura projects" and that will explain it even further.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFO[TK] Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) That kit will be gone soon. It has been reported to eBay. Ā The armour you see in the pic is Jimmiroquai's kit...and it's actually Jim in the pic, in his house!!!! The pic of the armour pieces laid out is Jim's first gen kit and not the result of a 'pep' build. Edited June 27, 2016 by JAFO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK4205 Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) LOL. I thought I recognized those pictures. Good call Darren! But I don't think that auction will be taken down. He's not lying about what you get, you just need to be on your game to build it. Ā Ā Ā Aaaaand the pic they're using is of me! In my first gen armor. In my house. Bwahahaha. Ā He even implies that if you assemble his pepfiles my armor will be the result. Ā What a joke. Ā I've reported the listing as fraudulent on ebay.

JAFO[TK] Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 But I don't think that auction will be taken down. He's not lying about what you get That is very true but rest assured there won't be any pics of Jim's kit to mislead buyers. Many of us from the Jimmi Build Group have reported the buyer to eBay.

Weylyn Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Yep, reported this morning also, the person claims he is removing Jim's pictures, but still up. Personally, would never buy from anyone who does not use their own pictures. It's a integrity thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
