RogueTrooper[TK] Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Hey Derek, don't forget to start a new post/topic for your AM build in the Assembly, Mods, and Painting (Discusson): http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showforum=4 Can't wait to see it!!!! Quote
poisonfox Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Posted February 11, 2010 Thanks! I'm gonna go for a shiny ANH suit. I always liked the look of those troopers marching through the death star. I'm definately going to take my time and post many pics on a soon to be created build thread! 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
ThayNerd[TK] Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Congrats on getting your armor! Here is where the fun begins. Quote
poisonfox Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Posted February 12, 2010 For all those who wanted to see pics of my armor...here you go! BTW, the helmet is a VT and did not come with the kit. This is TupperwareTK's AM "LITE" kit. I labeled what is in the box so you don't have to guess. Quote
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 Yeah Nice and shiny with that new plastic smell too HAVE FUN!! Keep us posted! Quote
TK-7980 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 How well does the helmet match in color? Quote
poisonfox Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Posted February 12, 2010 Almost perfectly! Other than a slight difference in gloss(fixable with polish and elbow grease) it's a perfect match! This is gonna rock!!! How well does the helmet match in color? Quote
Sergiotron Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 Hi Derek! Thanks for the pics I am wondering how tall must be a trooper to fit this armor perfectly without major mods? Quote
poisonfox Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Posted February 12, 2010 I think TupperwareTK could answer this better, but I have seen very short and very tall Stormtroopers out there. This armor has a-lot of extra plastic so that you can trim it down to your size pretty easily! 5'8" to 6'2" shouldn't have to do much though...How tall are you? Hi Derek!

I can see a new outpost in the horizon Quote
poisonfox Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Posted February 24, 2010 I couldn't resist... Here is the helmet with my AM armor (a work in progress)! Good times! Still got a long way to go... Quote
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted February 24, 2010 Report Posted February 24, 2010 It looks like you are having too much fun...STOP IT this isn't suppose to be enjoyable Just kidding!!! hahahaha!!! ! Your build looks to be coming a long nicely How did the neck lip turn out? Quote
poisonfox Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Posted February 24, 2010 Yeah, I'm having WAY too much fun! I am working on the thighs, shins, and neck lip right now. Then it's just straps, buttons, and paint really to finish it up! I can't wait! P.S. I also can't wait for my twin boys to be old enough to dress as Jawas for Halloween so I can take them around the neighborhood in my armor. It looks like you are having too much fun...STOP IT this isn't suppose to be enjoyable Just kidding!!! hahahaha!!! ! Your build looks to be coming a long nicely How did the neck lip turn out? Quote
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted February 24, 2010 Report Posted February 24, 2010 That's cool, Twin boys. After they see their dear ol' Dad in TK armor, they might want their own set I know you said that you have painted the ab buttons, I just thought for future reference here is a PDF that Billy posted here with the revised Helmet and Ab paint detail reference guide: http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_id=1680 Quote
poisonfox Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Posted February 24, 2010 does this color scheme work for ESB as well? I am thinking of switching to that instead of ANH. That's cool, Twin boys.

Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 yes as far as the 501st & FISD are concerned, though ESB tears/traps are noted for being a tad bluer. Quote
poisonfox Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) 7 months and 12 days later it is finished! Thanks to everyone for the help and support! Edited September 24, 2010 by poisonfox Quote
Femtrooper Julie[501st] Posted September 24, 2010 Report Posted September 24, 2010 Looking very sharp there trooper! I am impressed! Quote
poisonfox Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Posted September 24, 2010 Looking very sharp there trooper! I am impressed! Thanks Julie! I'm glad you dig it. Quote
poisonfox Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Posted September 24, 2010 I put up larger versions of the pics for detail. Quote
R2Dan[TK] Posted September 24, 2010 Report Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) double post, sorry Edited September 24, 2010 by R2Dan Quote
R2Dan[TK] Posted September 24, 2010 Report Posted September 24, 2010 I think that chest is way too big for you. In fact, I think it's way too big for most TKs out there, and it looks so off compared to the real deal... oh well! Quote

In fact, I think it's way too big for most TKs out there, and it looks so off compared to the real deal... oh well! Yeah, the chest and back are my biggest gripes with this set. Quote
R2Dan[TK] Posted September 24, 2010 Report Posted September 24, 2010 well, it's not your fault I think tkrestonva has swapped them out with someone else's parts, looked ten times better. Here are some more recommendations, if you don't mind: - Your belt is sitting a little low, it should sit just below the "ridged button" bit on the abdomen. - I think you - as most AM wearers - have gotten the shins on the wrong legs. The one you have on your left leg with the kneeplate is actually the right shin, and vice versa. Looks a bit dodgy there. Try them on the other way, it should feel a lot better, too! Apparently the finishing strip on the back was put on the wrong side, giving the impression you're supposed to wear them like that... Quote
poisonfox Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) Couldn't help myself! I have a Hi-Res version if anyone were interested in putting a sweet background behind me or somethin'. Edited September 24, 2010 by poisonfox Quote
