MakerBubba Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Hello everyone, I'm new here and I need some help. I recently acquired what seems to be a Jedi robe Stormtrooper set secondhand and I'm wondering if anyone else has actually got in this set of armor to be 501st approvable? And if so what suggestions they have forgetting this 501st approvable. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob .T .[TK] Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Sell it on eBay and buy armour from a reputable vendor . It's just not worth the hassle . Edited July 21, 2020 by Rob .T . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Hi Aaron! As noted above, there are more than a few issues with Jedi Robe armor, as it is a recast (copy) of a recast, and unfortunately would probably not pass Basic 501st approval without extensive modifications (think time and money). If you can post up some detailed photos that would help us better gauge what you are looking at, but to be honest it would probably be best to sell it on ebay and go with one of our "vetted" armorers, who provide quality kits with great customer service (link here). All of these sellers provide kits that are 100% approvable for all levels of accuracy (when built correctly, of course) but that's where we come in. We are here to help every step of the way!

I really appreciate the help! Like I said I paid very little for the armor that I got, so i'm alright with spending some more to make this thing better than it already is. I'll try to send pics tonight so you guys can see it and help me with what all needs to change 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakerBubba Posted July 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Alright, here are some good photos of the important pieces and a very rough first fitting on me. (ignore the black series helmet, just wanted to have something on my head) I also thought it would be worth mentioning that I have to large format 3d printers and can reprint the missing pieces/ add printed modifications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakerBubba Posted July 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 I keep trying to resize the picture files cuz apparently they're too big to post on here even one at a time but for some reason I still can't get them small enough to all post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterx244[TK] Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 You need to upload them to a picture hoster (for example imgur, you use the direct link for pasting here) to embed the pictures vor einer Stunde schrieb MakerBubba: I keep trying to resize the picture files cuz apparently they're too big to post on here even one at a time but for some reason I still can't get them small enough to all post 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did change it from private to visible tho, try the link again There are several options for image links on Imgur, but if you are using the mobile version you can simply copy and paste directly into your post here as I did above. Posting a link to offsite won't get you very much feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Here is a excerpt from my tutorial that may help, Aaron. Link to complete thread can be found here. In your imgur Gallery, LEFT click on the center area of the pic you wish to post, which will bring you to the area as seen below. 1. LEFT click on Copy next to Direct Link. 2. Paste into your post or thread. DONE DEAL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Congrats on posting the pics!! I am assuming that you are aiming for ANH Stunt, Aaron, in which case don't forget that for Basic approval the kidney and posterior (butt) plate are separate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob .T .[TK] Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 This armour , which is a bad recast of modified fx armour , is better suited to r.o.t.j. Armour , as that's what it is very loosely based on . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
