RogueTrooper[TK] Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 On 10.1.2011 at 12:07 PM, ZIECKZEON said: Hi there, Im a newbie to FISD and this is the 1st beginner thread I started to read and really impressed on the info provided on some of the costume props makers. Very useful for newbie like myself who is considering getting the right armor kit. Much to learn from the Imperial war veterans here. Welcome aboard Xilian, make yourself at home. Do as much research as you can (Look at the How Tos, tips, and the different builds) that is the key to help you find the right kit for you. BTW, it is customary to introduce yourself and tell a little about yourself and how you found this forum in the New Member Introductions Section. This is so the members here can welcome you and get to know you little bit. Quote
ZIECKZEON Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Hi RogueTrooper, thanks for guiding me to the introduction counter. Luckily Vader was not there to force choke me. Before this, I was checking out some stormtrooper armor kits from Ebay...luckily the info from this thread was helpful to allow me to avoid getting this kit from Ebay. I dont want to end up paying big bucks and getting a kit which is not what it seems. Is there a thread where I can check out the various parts to a TK armor? Quote

You can find all info/tutorials in the "Reception Center" Here is the first link to get you started: Chest Armor You will find the rest of the "various parts" links on the left side of the "Chest Armor" page link I gave you. Also, here is the links to the 501st CRL: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:FISD_CRL I like the way the 501st site has a fast "one page" break down of all the "various parts" ( info with the image). I think it helps people new to this understand it quickly. That is why I gave you the 501st.com links too. Edited July 29, 2021 by gmrhodes13 updated text Quote
wolfman[TK] Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) Yes, your making it easy for newbies, as I am one, this is greatly appreciated. Edited January 30, 2011 by amdarkness Quote
SignalSoldier Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 So glad for this thread. Got so confused before. Now that I can afford it, I will be looking at getting a set. Quote
JimCem99[501st] Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 I hear ATA has a new ABS kit, any review on that? Quote
Rich330[TK] Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 I've just realised that CfO have not yet been added to this list. Is this planned? It would make sense I think. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Posted March 15, 2011 We don't have enough reports of Cfo from the field yet, and we don't want to add anyone until we have a series of positive reports. Usually this is via build threads, and so far the only one I've seen start one is on MEPD (Juan doing an SE sandtrooper). Quote

I'm sure they'll be able to build a reputation quickly. Quote
jediyves[501st] Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 I hear ATA has a new ABS kit, any review on that? Yes, ATA is now making ABS kits. Just placed an order for my up coming TD build. Quote
Standupguy Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) This is such superb info and insight for a new member like me , in just a few moments iv picked up more info than in the last 2 years ......Stunning Edited April 1, 2011 by Standupguy Quote
tk2939 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 I know that detachment is about white ones but i will post here - maybe admin wont get it out I am looking for black non helmet fx armor kit - could someone help with this matter? Thank you very much Michael Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Posted April 9, 2011 ATA makes black HIPS. I think AM is making black ABS, but you'd have to ask. Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 FX is no longer made - AM is its replacement. And yes, AM does come in black. About the only chance you'll have at finding a black FX armor kit is if someone is selling one secondhand. Best thing to do for that is monitor the For Sale areas at the FISD, Spec Ops, and the main Legion board. Quote
sskunky Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 I can make black. But Im not AM or FX. 1 Quote
BananoPower22[TK] Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 How big is the RT-Mod chest plate compared to the AM chest plate? I'm thinking in getting it, but I wish to know first if it will not be too oversized Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 I use an RT Mod chestplate, and it works well with my AM kit. I also did a photo comparison of the two in my build thread. http://whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=11333&st=20 Quote
JimCem99[501st] Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 I noticed [email protected] no longer shows as a vendor for AM; why is that? Quote
BananoPower22[TK] Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think troopersupplies is the tkboots and pauldron seller. Quote
JimCem99[501st] Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think troopersupplies is the tkboots and pauldron seller. I believe he is too but that is where I got my AM armor back in October. And his email was replaced by troopergear. Quote
TK9477 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 Hi there....looking over the thread you say that TM is NOT for tall troopers - I'm looking at upgrading from FX to TM (the thighs are a good 3-4" longer) but you say it's not for the very tall trooper....what's very tall? I'm 6' 2" Quote
Hedjii72 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 I too am 6'2" and I am having a heckuva time making a confident, informed decision. Right now, I'm split between ATA and AM. I'd really like to do a glossy Death Star TK. I am fearful with my height, I will have a lot of black at the knees. Anyone care to weigh in? Quote
OneWhiteWarrior Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 Im pretty sure ull be good to go with AM Armor, thats what im looking at picking up. But if ur unsure if the AM will be good enough then you should also check out a set from RT-MOD which is also made for larger Troopers. The RT-MOD Armor should most def work for you. Quote
Turrican Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 Well read this and ask me, what is MTK? http://whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=15973&pid=193272&st=0entry193272 Should be updated here in the first post?? Origin ect.? Quote
