Hey, you RS experts especially, can you tell Jay Jay what to look for so he can zero in on that aspect? 1 Quote

=Sv3=[TK] Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 You can tell they rushed the build to have it on display. I'm glad I got the kit but who am I kidding, I don't think I'll do much better Envoyé de mon iPad en utilisant Tapatalk Quote

Apparently they had some issues getting it on the mannequin, so that might have caused it. Quote
crisisfilms Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 Ya you can see it was a rush build with pencil lines and misaligned cover strips, but more curious what some better trained eyes can tell about the specific shapes Quote

Apparently they had some issues getting it on the mannequin, so that might have caused it. It's my understanding that the back looks a little rough exactly for that reason, it wasn't easy to get on the mannequin and it's set up in such a way that the general public won't see the back (also why the det is missing) Quote
deadvision Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 Maybe this is why they decided to switch back to abs lol. I'm a bit confused. If it's going to fit a person, why won't it fit a mani? 1 Quote

Anovos TK prototype Anovos TK from SDCC 2015 RS Propmaster stunt High(er) res Anovos prototype Anovos SDCC 2015 RS Propmaster Those two helmets look very different to me. The RS version has a bigger, longer frown, and more pronounced, deeper "bags" under the eyes. I also think the RS eyes are a bit bigger and maybe a little closer together. The "cavities" around the hovi mic tips seem bigger in the RS version, and the "cheeks" under the ears are more pointy in the Anovos version. The brow trim is higher in the RS version (yes, that can be moved probably), and there seems to be no detailing around the circular edges of the ears of the Anovos version. No question from my perspective, as far as the bucket is concerned, it is not a recast. Bill Edited July 11, 2015 by Astyanax 3 Quote
Astyanax Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Is it just me, or are the Ab buttons not in a straight line? That is still correct for screen accuracy. They don't line up in some versions. Edited July 11, 2015 by Astyanax 1 Quote
Astyanax Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 Sorry for all the spam and sorry if this was already pointed out, but this was mentioned a little while ago on the RPF forum, that Anovos updated their FAQ with a ship date of December: http://www.anovos.com/pages/classic-stormtrooper-faqs#5 That is, that's when they START fulfilling. Gonna be a busy January for me. Bill Quote

If it's going to fit a person, why won't it fit a mani? I have no proof of this, it's just speculation, but I imagine it's harder to dress a fiberglass mannequin in a hurry than it is to dress a human. I don't think it was a matter of fit so much as getting the armor on a hard, unmoving mannequin in a hurry. 1 Quote

I don't think it was a matter of fit so much as getting the armor on a hard, unmoving mannequin in a hurry. Yep, and I get the impression that the armor itself wasn't even put together yet, based on the comments about misaligned cover strips and pencil lines. They probably CA'd and Zap-a-Gapped it in a couple hours. I would love to have been a fly on the wall during that assembly. Bill Quote

Good to see some non-promo photos Is it just me, or are the Ab buttons not in a straight line? I see the ab buttons making an arc. Let's hope the quote "prototype" sticks. If they're "listening" like they say they are id also hope they have the 501st spec sheet. There's no reason they can't make it approvable less the personal fitment. Quote

Check it out: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30606-ab-buttons/ Just scroll down to see. Centurion approval does not require perfectly aligned buttons. Sometimes they are, but this is probably an artifact of the particular armor on which Anovos was doing their analysis. I doubt Anovos will change it. Even the 501st CRL shows arc'ing buttons: http://www.501st.com/databank/File:TK_anh_stunt_ab.jpeg Bill Edited July 11, 2015 by Astyanax 1 Quote
Barclay[501st] Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 Ok..I was wondering as when I went and looked at a few centurion builds they had straight alinement.... But now I see some arcing and some a little off... While I love Star Wars, in no way do I claim to be a TK expert... Just learning what I can while waiting on my big brown box Quote

Luke S Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 Thanks for clarifying that astyanax. I studied armor years ago when I was getting into it. I've forgotten a lot since getting back in. Quote
JTninja[TK] Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 Ammo boxes look very thin, but good enough to gain basic status. Is the right shin backwards? Quote

Especially if you do it in a hurry. Quote
