stukatrooper Posted August 13, 2010 Report Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) I have had the opportunity to build a set of TM 1mm superflex ABS.not only is the suit the correct guage plastic to the original screen used suits in ANH,it also has the correct strapping system. Thanks to Pauls achieve pitures the suit has been constructed as close as posible to the costume used in the film. The first lot of pictures are from the outside of the suit,it will show the snaps used and also the screw positions for the internal straps. First off the torso. some close up detail shots. next up are the arms. detail. leg. leg details . Last of all the helmet. I will with the next lot of pictures show how the suit is strapped as per the originals.This is only posible with TMs help and suport through this project. More to follow...................

ELP Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 For a second I forgot where I was and I thought "I don't care what this costs ... I'm going to talk to the owner, and find out what size this kit is ... ". Whew ... Thank goodness it's not a sale thread as I enjoy being married. Awesome Looking Kit!!! Quote

Billhag Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to THE NEXT LEVEL. This is THE BEST ANH armor replica in the Galaxy. Incredible work, Pete!!! Pablo You're not kidding mate I have not only had chance to see this BEAUTIFUL work of art in person but even had chance to wear it. Nothing, and I repeat NOTHING will ever come close to emulating the real thing as much as this set of armour.This suit literally leaves you speachless Quote
mods1965 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 Peter, For ABS, it looks quite matt in the finish. How did you "dirty" the armour to such a great finish? Also, are the screws on the bottom lip of the chest for a suspender system to go over the shoulders and attach to the back? Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 Looks awesome in every sense of the word mate - can't wait to see you in it which will only make it better. Quote
Billhag Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 Looks awesome in every sense of the word mate - can't wait to see you in it which will only make it better. Here ya go Paul Three Devilishly hansome stormtroopers ready for action on the day Pete debuted this outstanding set of armour <-----Billhag-----FireBladeJedi-----Stukatrooper-----> Pete as got some killer solo shots that he may be persuaded to post up latter in the thread Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 I couldn't agree more there Billy! Quote
Sonnenschein Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 I love the "eye and hook" solution at the back of the shins. But I can't figure out te function of the six screws on the chest.... I'd like to see the "correct" strapping sytem one day.. Karin Quote
TK-4510[501st] Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 You are THE master dude!!! Such an incredible assembly and an unbelievable armor. Quote

JoeR Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 Awesome work Pete. It is so close to the original below, truly amazing work. Joe Quote
Billhag Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 Joe Great photo mate Thanks for sharing that Quote
Sonnenschein Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 Awesome work Pete. It is so close to the original below, truly amazing work. Joe interesting pic, thanks for sharing- This all will help us make highly accurate suits - A quick observation: the 3 strips of elastic seems to be riveted with 2 pop rivets each (instead of 1 jeans rivet) and insted of the cheast screws there seem to be pop rivets aswell Karin Quote
