TKCaleb Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 Here are some photos of the partially incomplete TE ROTJ armor that is being built for me. The armor is made out of .06 biscuit colored ABS (just like the original rotj armor) with the exception of the helmet which is made out of .093 styrene painted biscuit. It is a beautiful piece and i cant wait to see the finished product. Anyway, here are a few pics. Enjoy. Quote
HPDblues[TK] Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 Guitar hero huh? T ePS: Your TE is looking good so far. Quote
FON Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 Don't know about that armour.... but that trim looks amazing! hehe Quote
AJCG Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 Very nice, I'm looking forward to see it completed it. Congrats Cheers A Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 People can say what they want about Matt as a person, but boy does TE make some nice looking kit. Caleb - this is going to be awesome and I for one can't wait to see this come together. Great job Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 Don't know about that armour.... but that trim looks amazing! hehe Is that yours FON then? Looks sweet Quote
TKCaleb Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Posted August 7, 2009 Thanks for all the kind compliments. Just to dismiss any confusion, the person in the photos is not me, its Matts son who he is fitting it too. He is the same height and around the same weight as i am, so once Matt sends this off to me, the suit should fit like a glove. Yes FON, your trim is the absolute best. Quote

firebladejedi[TK] Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 I am starting to like this scruffy looking beat up jedi armour.. it has a certain look to it, something i cant quite put my finger on.. I really look forward to seeing how this turns out Quote
Darth_Finger Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 Wow, that is some awesome armor. Quote

I really look forward to seeing how this turns out I never used to like the Jedi helmets or armour but the more you study them, the more they grow on you. Caleb are you going to do anyweathering on this suit? Joe Quote
TKCaleb Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Posted August 8, 2009 I never used to like the Jedi helmets or armour but the more you study them, the more they grow on you. Caleb are you going to do anyweathering on this suit? Joe Mmm, hard to say. The plastic is biscuit colored abs which is what the original rotj suits were made from, and from what i have been told, the plant which produced this plastic has closed down, and I believe they were the only ones who produced this biscuit color material. So with that said, I dont want to ruin it by weathering it. Now the styrene suit which i will be receiving, that will be made into a SE "Special Edition" suit, which is nothing but polished styrene. Will i weather it? possibly. I will probably add scuff marks here and there in the legs and chest pieces. Caleb Quote
Darth_Finger Posted August 8, 2009 Report Posted August 8, 2009 Your getting 2 ROTJ armor suits? Quote
TKCaleb Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Posted August 8, 2009 Your getting 2 ROTJ armor suits? Yurp. One biscuit colored ABS, and the other is styrene. Im going to troop in the ABS only once, after that its going to be thrown on a Manni and im going to do all my other future trooping in the styrene. Quote
