TK-4510

I love it!!!!

Wow! thats a great idea!

Nah...its pretty black and white. Make the corrections and your done. They are minor and are really just quick fix and adjustments. I applied for EIB a few years ago and was denied because of blaster only, IIRC. Unfortunately I sold the armor after that!! Its not abig deal. There is a STANDARD and we all need to be the same.

need me to send you come AB button decals?? You look awesome man!!

Having already experienced the sanding and filling of a TE2 I can tell you that it IS possible but it IS alot of work. I made a HERO bucket for Paul out of a TE2 a few years ago and I sanded, filled, primered, repeat, over and over and over again...

TM makes a nice lid as does AP.

Here's some Ive built or owned over the years Pauls "Heroized" Han replica TE2-

I have done my best to notify the people who would approve my actions. It appears that I have Tony's approval. The chain of command (Paul) has known my plans for months. I also am bringing this to the table for you (everyone) now. I ask for your support. I only want to provide legitimate American accurate ABS armor to the troops. I think we should all put this BS behind us as Joe says. I put it all behind me a while ago. The armors lineage is watered down (thank you TE). To me its open format. ATA, PT, VAJ TE2, TE, CAP, CAP-W, and a whole slew of others are making this armor. Mine will be slightly different though. The chest will be different. I am modifying one of the biceps to actually fit. The ab plate and buttons will be more accurate. The shoulder bells will be deeper. The upper thighs are getting a resculpt. The cheesy belt is totally the wrong size and it getting re designed. The Thermal Detonator is getting resculpted. I will be providing accurate decals and paints, canvas belts and straps. Flexible dark lens. Frown mesh. British brow trim and accurate neck "s" trim. The whole 9 yards. This (for me) will be THE armor.

I am leaning toward 80. I may purchase some 40 and see how it looks and feels too.

80 maybe 70

My garage IS Star Wars. and a Camaro...

Thanks guys. I dunno what I should call it. I am just tired of AP, TE, CAP, FX, etc... Something cool Maybe you guys have some ideas?? This armor will be very special to me and I want to do the absolute best I can do with it. Its a huge undertaking. When its complete it will be as unique as I can make it. I have always had a problem with some of the parts and I am going to re do those first. I haven't set a price. It wont be $350.00 and it wont be $1500.00. I will try to make the price as equitable as possible. The only thing I DO know for sure is that I will offer it in stages. You can buy just the plastic or add on all the way up to as much as I can offer. I think it would be cool to have the entire package available. Yes, I have been discussing this with Paul and a few others for months now and its finally time to tell everyone. I wasn't completely sure that I wanted to go the armor route. Its alot of work and with my decals and accessories I didn't know if it would be something I would be able to commit to. But I decided to do this and do it as well as I can. I will sell the helmets and armor together or separate. I will also sell parts if need be.

Thanks for the positive encouragement everyone. I will post pics soon. I am not sure what I will name my armor, but it wont be anything with initials.

As you already know, I make alot of stuff for trooping. Over the years I have contributed to the community my builds and even played a part in TE2's helmet runs. So I think I have established myself and my reputation. When Chris Peters was making armor I obtained a set and have held onto it all this time. a year ago I began wondering if I should recast the CAP armor and start offering my own version but in ABS. So I began building my vacuum table and started making the molds. I am about 30% done with the recast of the CAP armor and I am reworking many components as original sculpts so there will be a clear separation between my armor and the other makers. I hope to offer the armor by late January. It will come as a kit and will include many of the accessories I have been selling on my site. I will be updating this thread with pictures of my sculpts and finished product as the project continues. I am passionate about accuracy and I hope my new armor reflects that.

nice job man!

Damn!! Thats a TON of SNOW!!!

awesome AA video THE man making THE armor - SICK

Looks pretty awesome I must admit. I know you would never abuse it that much, and it should be pretty light too. how about the helmet. is it also in 1mm/.040 ABS?

Yeah, what does he think of the armor, is it suitable for trooping? I notice that there are white creases in the folded ABS too.

What do you think of the .040/1mm ABS?? Is it too thin for trooping???

What do you think of the .040/1mm ABS?? Is it too thin for trooping???

I'd go AP and wait for someone to sell their used set.

Here's an update

Awesome job!!! I wanna see the muppets though
