TK-4510[501st] Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 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.
Aid Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 As that I will be shopping for new armor in the new year, I am really looking forward to seeing your pics.
Wildabeast[TK] Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 cool announcement, look forward to seeing the new product
Evolver79[TK] Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 If your armor will be as good as you have been with you other items, who ever orders from you will be very lucky! As I have stated before, your site makes it very easy to go broke!!!
BananoPower22[TK] Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 Nice! Looking foward for it!
Rich330[TK] Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 Good luck, Mike. You have been a reliable supplier of the smaller items. It will be very interesting to see this project develop.
Quartermaster[501st] Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 Good Luck with the project Mike! Looking forward to seeing the new armor.
HPDblues[TK] Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 Good on you bro! I can't wait to see your finished armor! Best wishes and good luck! Aloha, T
FIVE[501st] Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 Good on you bro! I can't wait to see your finished armor! Best wishes and good luck! Ditto to what T said man! Now I have to find whoever just predicted this not long ago on the MEPD... there's a lottery I need some numbers for!
Locitus[Admin] Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 Sorry, what is CAP armor? A maker of armour, just like AP, TM, TE2 and so on. He doesn't make armour anymore though, and has been replaced by CAP-W. CAP also said he didn't care if he was recasted. With your service Mike, this can only become great! Good luck!
GPavao Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) Very excited about this! You provide a great service to troopers, and now you are striving for even more. Good luck in your venture sir. Edited December 15, 2010 by GPavao
Ogait-Nas Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 It is always good to have another reputable maker.
gh05ty Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 Best of luck with the new venture Mike
Sonnenschein Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 wow. The "one stop trooper shop" is now complete. Good luck, Mike!
TK-4510[501st] Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) 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. Edited December 15, 2010 by TK-4510
R2Dan[TK] Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 probably close to what VT charges now
Obievon[501st] Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 Bring on the Pictures! Yippee !!
Daetrin[Admin] Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 Ditto to what T said man! Now I have to find whoever just predicted this not long ago on the MEPD... there's a lottery I need some numbers for! Several people did. I mean it's been in the closet for some time, so this is a bit of a coming out notice, isn't it? Best wishes Mike - 2011 will certainly be a good year.
