dejango[TK] Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Something that is standing out to me is the strips on the limbs is a lifted plastic and not just a thin strip instead of just one thin strip Sides of the forearms are also somewhat indendted quite stringently on the last pic you can see cloth gaskets on the elbow obvious backpack differences and disconnected kidney/posterior and differently placed belt and back of belt material, also diagonal connection from abs to kidney bicep isnt even connected back of shins don't seem connected back is different design, looks like separate greeblies middle part of back looks like FOTK piece? shoulder straps are larger indents also differences in the TD Honestly I'm just a bit dissapointed with this design for the movie. It looks sloppy even to an untrained eye, and looks like they tried to be different but in the end seems more like they threw a bunch of plastic pieces together, even if there are some slight similarities between it and clone armor. Interested to see how people will adapt the build though, if any. Edited July 26, 2016 by dejango Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGHtrooper21 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 The movie is supposed to take place a few days or weeks before Episode IV? Wouldn't you want to use the same TK's designs as in Episode IV? The reference material is there? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that we really only see Sandy's and death Star stormtroopers in anh and Vader's detachment as a boarding party. We don't ever see a landlocked base, or mixing of stormtroopers.

The cost for making Star Wars in 1976 was limited as opposed to the current films. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylverbard[TK] Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Not true factoring in all the thousands of hours of model work. They went clunky and campy thinking " this will never need a sequel or have thousands of nerds dissecting it." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weylyn Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Is it just me or do the gloves look like they are Nomex and not rubber? Also , body suit looks more like its ribbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylverbard[TK] Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) They are black fotk gloves I think. Definitely cloth with leather.overlay. Edited July 26, 2016 by sylverbard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dejango[TK] Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Another thing is that they seem to have changed the back of the bucket lip, and it looks more symmetrical now as opposed to being slightly oblonged on one side Edited July 29, 2016 by dejango Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
