Britton[TK] Posted April 20, 2014 Report Posted April 20, 2014 Ears received today. Thanks again for your attention to this. Quote
TK-042088 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Posted May 8, 2014 I have not seen anything on Scootch's Custom Fab Shop but I have been recommended to it by a couple troopers and I wanted an overall opinion of the armor? It fits my budget nicely even with needing to still purchase blaster, holster, boots and gloves. Thank you for this incredible thread and I look forward to trooping hopefully by the end of the year!

Engineer IV Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 I'm confused.... I literally just spoke with trooper gear from AM. I thought he was on the "approved" list? He said his next batch was shipping in June. Is this the questionable dealer people were talking about? Quote
enrod Posted May 29, 2014 Report Posted May 29, 2014 Hello All, My first post! I'm 5'5" and 165 pounds. Saw an earlier post on this thread that referenced a gentleman that was 5'7", but no reference to a shorter person. Any recommendations on a kit for my height and frame? Your input is greatly appreciated! Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted May 29, 2014 Report Posted May 29, 2014 Two inches don't make a big difference. Quote
enrod Posted May 30, 2014 Report Posted May 30, 2014 Glad to hear that. Any kits that you or anyone can recommend for someone that is 5'5"? Thank you! Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted May 30, 2014 Report Posted May 30, 2014 Glad to hear that. Any kits that you or anyone can recommend for someone that is 5'5"? Thank you! Get something that is accurate. AP/TM/RS/ATA or similar. If you need to shorten the kit for your height, start by taking off some at the bottom of the shins. Quote
firebladejedi[TK] Posted May 30, 2014 Report Posted May 30, 2014 Two inches don't make a big difference. Thats a matter of opinion... Quote
enrod Posted May 30, 2014 Report Posted May 30, 2014 Thank you Locitus for the response and helpful tip. Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted May 30, 2014 Report Posted May 30, 2014 Thats a matter of opinion...Very true. But in this case, it is plenty tall, clocking in at at 170 cm. Quote

Thxboy Posted May 30, 2014 Report Posted May 30, 2014 Does anyone have a strong opinion about which vendor would have a TK Stunt for someone 6' 3"? I weigh in at 220 / muscular build. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
Rich330[TK] Posted May 30, 2014 Report Posted May 30, 2014 Read the part headed "On sizing" where three types are directly recommended. Of the three TM is the most accurate, including in terms of the size of the individual parts, but it has lot of allowance in the moulds for building parts with more girth. RT I believe was sculpted specifically with bigger troopers in mind and features armour parts which are deliberately up-scaled. AM is large but a poor replica of stormtrooper armour in comparison to either TM or RT. Quote
enrod Posted May 31, 2014 Report Posted May 31, 2014 This thread has helped tremendously with my armor search - Narrowing it down to AP . My next search is a helmet speaker system for an AP helmet - my apologies in advance for any incorrect terminology. Your input is much appreciated. Quote
TK Rome[501st] Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 Can someone tell me if RT Mod's email is trooper7@shaw.ca? I emailed them a week ago and still no response. I'm hoping it's just due to the high demand of the armor but I just want to be sure. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Posted June 2, 2014 Email is correct - he has a day job and doesn't always reply right away. Quote
TK Rome[501st] Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 Cool thanks Daetrin! I'm getting antsy just thinking about the armor. I can't wait to put it together and start trooping. Quote

Rich330[TK] Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 Type: Troopermaster â„¢ Country: UK Contact: Please see info contained in for sale threads when posted. Availability: Limited. Kit: ABS, untrimmed, fan sculpt. Reputedly the most accurate fan sculpt. Seams on legs and arms are butt-joins with capping strips. Availability: As slots become available, for sale threads will be posted. Kits are very limited and offered infrequently. Comments: This is really beautiful armour and extremely movie-accurate. It comes at the price of being pretty tricky to assemble though, with potentially a long wait for supply. TM now supplies all his armour in acrylic-capped ABS. His ABS suits are incredibly glossy and, if assembled with care, look fabulous. Not for very tall troopers. Armour is more generous than SDS or AP, but not as large as RT-mod. Can I propose an update/edit? Some of this info is no longer up-to-date and some sounds misleading to me. This would be my suggestion. Type: Troopermaster â„¢ Country: UK Contact: User "troopermaster" on this forum Availability: Limited. Comments: This is really beautiful armour and extremely movie-accurate. It has to be assembled with movie-accurate butts joints with cover strips and thus there is no easy overlap method option. One-man operation, thus potentially a long wait for supply. TM now supplies all his armour in accurate gloss ABS with an option of 1.5mm or 1mm thickness. If assembled with care, the suits look fabulous. Not for very tall troopers. Armour is more generous than SDS or AP, as it the parts have much allowance for girth variance, but it is not as large as oversized armour, such as RT-mod. Quote

h2Opolo5 Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 Curious question, and sorry if this one has been asked (it's 25 pages > > ) Anyway, does it make a difference on gender? Women usually have larger hips, so I was thinking I should go with hips armor. Because more than likely the kit, even if trimmed, will be set for a man and us women gotta be all complicated with everything lol Quote

Because more than likely the kit, even if trimmed, will be set for a man and us women gotta be all complicated with everything lol HIPS is a plastic ---> HIgh impact poly styrene in contrast to the better ABS --> Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene My advice would be to take ABS armor and choose the maker according to your proportions. If you are more a slim build, you could easily go for example with AP, TM or RS (like Diana did just recently.VERY good build thread for girls: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/25919-dianas-rs-props-build-anh-stunt/) Also bigger girl in TK armor, but then it should be for example, RT-Mod or AM. See you in armor soon Quote
