Opinions On This Clone Armor?

[AntwanDeFish]

I found this kit on ebay and just wanted to see if anybody knows anything about it that seems fishy? I'd like to get clone armor for relatively cheap but wouldn't want something thats just wrong in a bunch of ways.

Without saying anything official one way or the other.
It does look like this would need at least a little adjustment to meet 501st standards. But for basic approval it looks pretty close. Not sure how much it would take to get to higher levels if that was your goal.
I would hit up the 501st clone trooper forum for a better opinion.

Stay away from eBay.  I recommend to go to the Clone Trooper Detachment.

 

look for stuff from KW or DW.  They are reasonably priced and reliable.  Or look in the Personal Sales thread for 501st members selling their armor.

You will find a lot gets sold on eBay which may be of a lesser standard that what is required for 501st approval, as already suggested head to the clone troopers forum and do a little research there, research is the key to this hobby and just because something is easy to find doesn't mean that it is any good

Thanks everybody. The clone forums were super helpful as well.

Hi there.

 

I agree with the others. Just to give my 2 cents. The armor is made from fiberglass and needs work to meet the requirements. I learned that when I was a noob.
