TK-2126_MD[TK] Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Stay clear from all and any ebay sells!!!!! the only ebay sell that one can jump head first into is when a reputable member here (FISD) posts that his/her are is in the bay. Stay clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK 6918[501st] Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Oh wow, I thought MoT was a reputable guy who sold resin e-11 kits? Or am I getting confused with someone else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 The stuff is also really thin, and as someone showed in another thread the helmet is webbed and split all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Maybe he should just stick to recasting MR E-11's. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn_101 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 that spliting in the helmet was me. I just don't have the money to get new quality armor like AP. I think what i am asking is what future problems can arise from the armor being recasted, thin, streylene instead of HIPS. I also just wanted to discuss this armor with people who have it or are interested in it and would like some solid facts about it. TK 6918, I would imagine we are talking about the same guy. If you want to view the armor and sudo see my process of making it my photo bucket is here: photobucket.com/Karnage555 p.s. supertrooper, the cracks were bad but EASILY fixible with some E6000 and nylon webbing straps. the E6000 exses filled in the cracks, then with a bit of sanding and painting became less noticeable.

SuperTrooper Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I have one. The detail is great, but they are on the fragile side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn_101 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 anyone got a pic one one? i love to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 If your looking for cheap good quality armor, give ATA a shout. Guaranteed you'll be happier with ATA over this MoT 60 guage HIPS crap. ATA is HIPS too but its thicker than 60. I miss the CAP helmets, nothing beats a highly detailed face plate pulled in .100 guage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicsouders Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I saw that post on e-bay too. Great deal huh? So, I contacted him. This is the response I received: "Hi The reason for it being less costly than the rest is because you are paying for material and a little of my time and not the name that goes with it. I believe everyone should have a nice set of armor and not have to break the bank to get it. This armor is 60g just like the originals. The armor is styrene. I purchase the molds because of their connection to the TE line of armor. Once assembled it looks the same as the TE2 armor. Thanks Michael" Now, I'm a total noob (except for research on FISD) but that response made me a bit suspicious. So, I did a search for makerofthings on FISD and came up with this thread http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=8579&hl= I hope that helps!

TK5144[TK] Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 If your looking for cheap good quality armor, give ATA a shout. Guaranteed you'll be happier with ATA over this MoT 60 guage HIPS crap.ATA is HIPS too but its thicker than 60. plus with the ATA kit you get the brow trim, mic tips, lenses, neck trim. all of this purchased on your own will make the ATA kit actually cheaper than this ebay kit. I have built an ATA helmet, and was pleased. I have not seen or handled the ATA armor in person so I speak having only seen pictures of the armor. I assume the armor is similar quality to the helmet, which I am pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehickey Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Stay away from armor made of styrene, unless you like your armor easily broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt JB Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 My quick 2 cents. You will not be disappointed with an ATA kit. Beautiful armor, excellent customer service, and all in all a very good person to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
