Daetrin[Admin] Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 That costume there exceeds the standards. ROTJ is the most difficult of the Elite to achieve (the elite of the Elite?). Congrats on being the first 501st FISD ROTJ Elite! Can't imagine Scott finding a nit on this build. Most especially, kudos on blazing the trail and proving that it can be done. I felt the same excitement when Scott made Elite with an FX kit. You've done the detachment proud. Now, have a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, have a thanks Paul, when I first started this build all those month ago...my goal was to help future ROTJ's by example...There are so many people who do ANH, I thought it would be cool to have an Elite TK representing all the movies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK8280 Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I also chose the ROTJ because it would be the hardest to show that it can be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I don't like about this ROTJ armor is the solid 1 piece back plate, it really makes me look a little to box like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeTK1536[501st] Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 That's really cool!! Mainly because so few people do it at all, not to mention get all the details correct! Aside from the helmet not being symmetrical, everything else is spot-on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly because so few people do it at all, not to mention get all the details correct!Aside from the helmet not being symmetrical, everything else is spot-on. I didn't feel like paying $500.00+ dollors for the correct helmet plus I have seen originals thatr aren't squished like you are thinking of But lets really look at the difference between one of the originals and my helmet Original... Mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
