CrookKnight[TK] Posted August 31, 2017 Report Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) I have armor coming from MIMIC in the UK. The armor itself is made from a high quality fibreglass cloth with a perfect gel coat surface. All parts will be painted. I will still need to fit it, add the strapping, belt, boots, under armor, etc.... The new Episode VIII helmet will follow about 1 month behind. I should be receiving the armor in a couple of weeks. So I will probably start acquiring the soft parts. NOTE: After a year of waiting, I still have not received the second half of the armor. THANK YOU KB PROPS for working with me and others that got taken advantage of by MIMIC and getting us armor at a great price. So this armor will be a mix of MIMIC's Fiberglass and KB Props ABS. Below I am going to list what vendor I am purchasing all of the items from: Hard Armor: MIMIC (First Half) KB PROPS for second half of armor. https://www.facebook.com/KBProps Helmet (TLJ): TKD Props - https://www.facebook.com/TDK-Props-537706609725029/ Helmet (TFA): Anovos Gaskets: Geeky Pink's Phantastic Gaskets - https://www.facebook.com/GeekyPinksPhantasticGaskets/ Boots: Crow Props - https://www.facebook.com/groups/108653819216581/?ref=br_rs Gloves: Crow Props - https://www.facebook.com/groups/108653819216581/?ref=br_rs Belt: Premium First Order Belt Kit (Darren aka JAFO) visit http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/36882-premium-tfa-fotk-belt-kit/ Cape: Edited May 20, 2019 by CrookKnight Updated Vendor Information Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 31, 2017 Report Posted August 31, 2017 Looking forward to seeing the armor, I've heard of them but not seen anything from them as yet. The wait for the BBB is unbearable Quote

JAFO[TK] Posted August 31, 2017 Report Posted August 31, 2017 Paul's prop work is terrific. Quality is the name of the game. This build has been coming along nicely and it looks outstanding. I'm looking forward to seeing the final result Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote

CrookKnight[TK] Posted September 12, 2017 Author Report Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) I ordered my belt kit from: Premium First Order Belt Kit (Darren aka JAFO) visit http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/36882-premium-tfa-fotk-belt-kit/ His stuff looks amazing.

Ensi[TK] Posted September 12, 2017 Report Posted September 12, 2017 Just make sure to measure and mark it with the belt kit ON yourself and with all the armorparts (ab/cod/butt), or else you'll end up with wrinkles Quote

The top 2 layers flex a good bit but the inner polyester webbing layer is tough as nails and won't budge. I glued all of my layers together and when I glued the inner webbing I had to glue it in a "round" formation (not flat on table) if that makes sense, same goes for regular screw assembly I guess.

Thank you for the information. Sounds very complex. I will post on this thread as I do it and let me know if you see that I'm doing anything wrong. I appreciate it. Thank you.Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Quote
JAFO[TK] Posted September 12, 2017 Report Posted September 12, 2017 It is also possible to construct the belt with no glueing! I've seen it done by some. Let me see if I can find you some info Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote

So I really cannot do anything until then. Of course as a pack Builder, I have built 18 different versions of backpacks, I also want to build the Pack for the first order Stormtrooper on jakku.Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Straycatt Posted December 15, 2017 Report Posted December 15, 2017 Did you ever receive your boots? Quote
CrookKnight[TK] Posted December 15, 2017 Author Report Posted December 15, 2017 Did you ever receive your boots? Yes. I got those from Crow Props.Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Quote
CrookKnight[TK] Posted December 15, 2017 Author Report Posted December 15, 2017 Still waiting on my armor. I have everything else ready to go. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Quote
sandtrooper[501st] Posted December 15, 2017 Report Posted December 15, 2017 I've been following the MIMIC thread on the RPF and am thinking about getting a kit. Are you going to get the pieces in waves or all in one go? Any notification if it's shipped yet? Quote
CrookKnight[TK] Posted December 15, 2017 Author Report Posted December 15, 2017 It sounds like we will get them in two waves. He says he has shipped the first couple a week or two ago. No one has received them yet to the best of my knowledge.Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Quote
CrookKnight[TK] Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Posted June 5, 2018 Received my first half of armor from MIMIC yesterday. This is excellent quality and highly detailed. Here are some general photos. It even came with velcro installed. Once I start assembly, I will show closer pictures. Quote
CrookKnight[TK] Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Posted June 5, 2018 Started work on the helmet. This is a slush cast resin helmet from TDK Props. It is excellent quality and very well done. Quote
CrookKnight[TK] Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Posted June 5, 2018 Anyone have any recommendations for the Blaster / Rifle Kits and finished versions? Quote
