Trooper Guy on eBay...?

The old saying "If it's sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't" applies here, Duncan.  There are several "vetted" armorers in the UK, including Troopermaster who can supply you with a great kit which is 501st approvable. Check out this thread for more info.:  http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11538-the-various-types-of-armor-and-where-to-find-them/ and I would also sign up on the UK Garrison's site, as they can be of great help, www.ukgarrison.co.uk

You should also get in touch with Chris, (themaninthesuitcase) who is the Imperial Attache for the UK.  You can PM him here:  http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/user/23806-themaninthesuitcase/

I would honestly steer clear of anything you find online, especially eBay.

Ah see.. I knew it!  :D

 

Thanks for the advice. I know of the TrooperMaster stuff and have seen his great work on FB, i'll have a rethink on funding ;)  ...I Was just being cheap and impatient. 

 

My first build was from eBay and I spent a long time getting it 'right' but i guess there's only so much you can do if you start from a bad kit.

 

I'll not make the same mistake. I'm after real quality and accuracy this time.

 

Cheers guys!

There are always the Venn Diagrams that show you where fast, cheap, and good cross over each other.  There isn't much overlap between the three.

 

In the UK though, you have some GREAT options.  RS Propmasters is another stellar supplier in your area, and certainly worthy of you checking them out.  

Good luck, and welcome aboard!

TM is great, no doubt but there are less expenive options avilable in the UK.  Again it's where you want to be on the price vs quality diagram.

 

Best bet: Head over to the UK Garrision http://www.ukgarrison.co.uk/.  Sign up there, post an intro thread saying where you've gotten to and the armourer team will be able to help you get into the correct armour for you.  That may be TM, RS or it may be something else, we have options here.

 

If you want some guidance on the (roughly 4-5) armour options feel free to message me though I'd still recommend signing up anyway as you'll need to eventually to start your WIP for clearance.

 

Chris.

 

ps: Surrey + that logo = Woking area?
