Tech151[TK] Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I was just wondering what version(?) armor type is the most popular. Like do most TKs have ANH armor or is there a even spread from ANH, ESB, and RotJ? I know there are subtle differences, so was wondering what most people w/ TK armor tend to do, other than make it dirty ;-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-4224[501st] Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 i think ANH is most popular following by esb and rotj but lookin around shows that the FX is the most popular type *lol* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironclaw Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I too think ANH is most popular, but to me it seems most people have FX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech151[TK] Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 hmmm, well i think i want to try to be unique and go for rotj style armor, is it harder to come by or just more work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattastic13[TK] Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I believe that it is more work. I think that the armor is significantly different However we do have a ROTJ elite on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 ROTJ is way more work, as no one makes ROTJ style armor. It can be done though, Bernard made a nice guide to his conversion from ANH armor to ROTJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray1134[501st] Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I know I picked ANH style for mine simply because that movie has the most reference shots available and the most close ups in the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech151[TK] Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yeah i think i stumbled on that conversion thread last night... it looked pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Depends on what question you're really trying to answer. I'd say... Most *existing* 501st TK's wear FX armor that is mixed movie style, e.g. not adhering to one particular movie. Then again, a good chunk of 501st TK's I believe it's not their primary costume, or they got active when standards were pretty loose. Most *new* TK's are trying to adhere to a particular movie, and ANH is the most popular as that's how most kits come, though doing an ESB is pretty easy. I think most new members are FX armor + different helmet. That said, it seems more and more new folks coming in are bypassing FX and getting some other armor to begin with. I'd say most *active* 501st TK's - that is they troop regularly and the TK is their primary costume, are slowly but surely upgrading to be more move accurate, both in terms of getting more accurate armor and also more closely adhering to a specific move. If not FISD Elite, then pretty close. My garrison is a good example - we have few base FX kit guys left - most are only a mod or two away from Elite. FX armor is prevalent, though there's only like one or two FX buckets left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus[TK] Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 the most popular -- white armor by far ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
