troopermaster Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 As some of you know, I have been working on new moulds and new materials. The moulds are not 100% complete yet but when they are, I will be using a new flexible material which is unbreakable. I have bent and twisted this plastic so much and it just will not split, period! I think it will be a great suit for trooping, no more problems with sitting down or cracked butts The suit in the photos is made of 1mm plastic, though 1.5mm is available, I doubt you would need it that thick to be honest. As of yet, I haven't pulled a helmet from this material, just the armour. I plan on making HDPE helmets very soon and maybe hero's in this white. It's still early days yet but I am hoping to be able to produce these later this year. Enjoy the photos! Quote
TKDUEUNO Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 THIS. IS. IT. Awesome Paul, this is going to be the best and most screen accurate armor EVER. You've done it again. And I want one. Remember that this time I'm the first on the list. Damn, I just finished my TM! Quote
TK/BH-2177 Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 WOW!!!!!!!!!! (runs for tissues to wipe the drool)! Quote
TK-4224[501st] Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 looks like the ideal material for a armor i like it no i love it Quote
Merugear Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 This would solve a lot of my fears of breaking armor! Just a query, is that bendable plastic cheaper or more expensive than the ABS or such you used before? Feel free to answer it or not, but just to get an estimate if it would affect the costs significantly or not. Also, it would mean that you'll start making armor again opposed to the PM I got a while back? Vincent Quote
Runnriottt Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Well... There goes the wallet. You know Ill be on that list. Quote

Mortis Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Very innovative. I know the selling slogan: Make yourself comfortable! Quote
Madmartigan Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Been trying to get some armor from you for a while, Paul, so you know I'll be interested once this is ready! Maybe as a stunt set. I think you're motto should be: You can play football in this. The official TK armor of the NFL. Quote
synaptyx Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Paul, dude! 'Innovation' appears to be your middle name! Amazing stuff, mate. Quote
firebladejedi[TK] Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 I cant wait to see more of this Paul, it looks amazing.. as ever!! Quote
Rolf[501st] Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 EYE POPING TM, freaking beautiful . When many of us join 501st about 10 years ago, we did not have much to choose from: armors, sites, forums etc. Every thing have gone better and better year after year, and today we need real top class stuff to blow us off. But as have all have all ready said, you have done it again my friend. Not only the most screen accurate ANH body armor out there, but also now in the best plastic too. This is a piece of art, a A+ suit, from a A+ man. Quote
james007bond[TK] Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Guess, i'm second on the list then..... Impressive, I can't believe you can bend that chest plate so much, also I expect the armour will be more comfortable to wear.... Splendid stuff Paul, simply splendid... shiv Quote
rapstertee Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 That's impressive. A true innovation. Can't wait to read the troops reports as soon as they start coming in. Amazing work Paul. You ARE de man! Quote
TK 6918[501st] Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Oh no.... With all the crazy things us troopers have been doing in restrictive armor, just imagine the things we'd do unrestricted. Awesome!!!!!! Quote
TK-2126_MD[TK] Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 HOLY _____ !!!!!!!! Never thought that there could be anything better then a TM!!!!! But then u pull a TM.2 on us!!!!!! Questions: Price wise i figure that this new armor would be more expensive right...???? NEW MOLDS , will they still be only for the Mal nutritioned troopers, or do we heavy troopers have a chance???? THX MAN!!!! This will be awesome even if I could never fit in it!!!!!!! Quote
