poisonfox Posted February 4, 2010 Report Posted February 4, 2010 I think the winner of the Armor Wars is TupperwareTK's AM armor! I was looking for a mix of accuracy, durability, price, and ease of construction, and his armor seems to fit. This will be my FIRST set ever! What say the the Forum? Discuss... Quote
bluehickey Posted February 4, 2010 Report Posted February 4, 2010 Looking forward to watching your progress - can't wait to see someone finish an AM build! Quote
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted February 4, 2010 Report Posted February 4, 2010 AM armor is a good kit at a good price. Have fun with your build!! GWG!! Quote
TrooperTim Posted February 4, 2010 Report Posted February 4, 2010 Building it should be tons of fun. I dig a good build thread. Not too knowledgeable on AM, but looks like a good kit. Good luck! Quote

It means we'd love to see a build thread Quote
poisonfox Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Posted February 5, 2010 I'm gonna do it! TupperwareTK has an email in his inbox (literally) with my name on it! We'll see what it looks like with my VT lid. If it looks like crap I was thinking of buying his helmet kit too (when it's finished). I think he's including an FX type lid at the moment. Either way, I will keep you guys posted with a build thread! Quote
Dearmeat Posted February 5, 2010 Report Posted February 5, 2010 I'm working on my AM Build and trust me you will be very pleased. This being my first build and learning along the way. It has not been a hard as I thought it was going to be. Please post some pics. Quote
poisonfox Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Posted February 5, 2010 It's definitely official! I have paid for my AM armor. Will update as things happen! Quote
darthfoster[501st] Posted February 5, 2010 Report Posted February 5, 2010 Good luck with your build derek go with E6000 man you won't be dissapointed! Quote
poisonfox Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Posted February 7, 2010 I bought some e6000 today. I got the BIG tube! Good luck with your build derek go with E6000 man you won't be dissapointed! Quote
Bell[TK] Posted February 7, 2010 Report Posted February 7, 2010 I can say quite honestly that AM armour is great. I've almost finished my set. Two more straps on the shoulder bells and that's it. As has been commented it has nice thick plastic and the detail is lovely. Also with all the extra bits they give you you can go either ESB or ANH or even SD Can't say enough about this armour. Quote
Dearmeat Posted February 7, 2010 Report Posted February 7, 2010 Ditto with Bell. It is rather nice. Quote
poisonfox Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Posted February 10, 2010 I just found out from UPS that my AM Armor arrives tomorrow!!! Once that gets here, the only thing left is my dive skin which is scheduled to arrive next monday. All parts and accessories under one roof...exciting! I may make it to WonderCon after all! I see an armor party in my future...who's down? Quote

Eric, the sub forum "Assembly, Mods, and Painting (Discusson)" seems to be like an appropiate place... K. Quote
poisonfox Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Posted February 10, 2010 Arrgh! I don't want to go to work today! I just want to wait for my armor. That's a good excuse, right. Think my commander will buy it? Quote

Think my commander will buy it? Just tell him it's a matter of (Imperial) "National Security". He will understand............ Quote
Eric Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 thanks sonnenschein. i'll keep that in mind. haha. imperial security is worth staying home for lol Quote
poisonfox Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Posted February 11, 2010 It arrived! Now the fun starts. . .as does the countdown to WonderCon! Who wants to help? I have beer! Quote
JohnQPS122[501st] Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 I've heard a lot of great things about AM armor, but nothing new about the helmet. I might be wrong, but if it's still the same FX helmet we all know, most people would tell you to get something else. Or maybe I've just missed the new info about the new helmet, if there is any? Quote
poisonfox Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Posted February 11, 2010 You're absolutely right, it's still FX. That's why I bought the "LITE" kit instead. I like my VT lid better! According to TupperwareTK, the new helmet is a ways off from complete but will be sweet! I may buy one. I've heard a lot of great things about AM armor, but nothing new about the helmet.

Sergiotron Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Congrats Derek! I've just contact TupperwareTK and you're right, his replies are fast. The only thing is that I can't choose the best helmet for the AM lite kit. That's becouse I want a perfect color match and better accuracy than FX. Not sure which helmet is the right choise. BTW, please be generous with pics! I want to see the entire kit out of the box before you do any mod -Sergio Quote
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Congratulations Derek!!! You are going to have so much fun, man. Take lots of pix and post as frequently as you can. Don't rush your build, that's when you make mistakes. If you have any questions or need help, don't hesitate to post. Have all the tools that you need and lots of E6000 glue. Enjoy this! If you see yourself getting frustrated with your build, just walk away and take a deep breath!!! Can't wait to see your build. man! BTW, what version are you doing? Quote
