Pic heavy: My ANH armor (PT)

[ObiHahn[TK]]

Hi there,

 

today I celebrated my EIB status approval by having professional photos taken. A buddy of mine works in a photo studio, so that was the obvious choice, roght?

 

This is us recreating the best known ANH TK promo shots, all I was missing for them to be more exact were a hero bucket, a short range blaster and maybe a little less of a beer gut...

 

 

We did a couple other poses too, of course:

 

 

Elvis-Trooper, look out, there's a new kid in town:

 

Bucket off, trying to give the evil stare - while my blaster falls out of my holster...

Great photos! I'll be using these as reference for my TK project.

 

Is that a PT helmet also?

 

Thanks Trooper, and I dig your handle.

[ObiHahn[TK]]

Is that a PT helmet also?

 

Yup, it's a full set.

 

Thanks, I'm being used as reference. Nice!

Great pics

You look like you would kick that 70's TK's @$$! :-)

[firebladejedi[TK]]

These pics came out really well, great stuff

[kwdesigns[TK]]

I love the side by side shots of you in the same pose. I think I would like to try that when I am done with my TK set.

Great photos Dennis, I might have to try this too

[Smitty]

Looks absolutely fantastic bro!

[pandatrooper[TK]]

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing! The poses are awesome

[Agent RayBans]

Nice armor!

 

Can some one point me in the direction of the history of the PT Armor?

Whoa, thanks Pezza for the photoshopping! Great idea.

And yeah, those harsh studio lights really do shine through the armor in places, in a way sunlight doesn't. But maybe I'll paint it inside soon, but rather white than black - I was told that painting it black might give the armor a greyish tint from the outside.

 

Thanks everyone for your feedback! I really recommend trying this out, what a blast that was!

Great pics and good job with your TK! And you don't have a belly problem, don't worry. I like how glossy your armor is, looks great with the reflection in your green lens on the 2nd pic. Also, the shoulder straps are glued really flush to the chest plate, nice.

I'll also use your pics as reference for my ANH TK, it's about 90% done now.

These pictures look fantastic I love the way you have recreated the 70's shots and yes you would kick that 70's TK's a**! I often thought that the originals were rather skinny, or is it that I am just fat? :lol:

Now don't get me wrong great shots as they are, but is this armor not an open recast of TE2? If so why is it being flaunted and praised here?. This is not a dig and maybe when you bought it you didn't know but how did you get EIB status with an open recast? Just trying to get my head around the rules here? sometimes it is very confusing what is accepted and what isn't.

I'm just curious.

This is the first time I've actually seen photo's of PT armour. It looks great. Good work Dennis

[ObiHahn[TK]]

Thanks for your feedback, troops! You're right, those guys were real skinny in the movie. Better be able to kick @$$ than be blown to the ground with only 1 or 2 puny blaster hits on your chest, huh?

 

@Mark: I dunno...EIB is given for detail-oriented assembly and the general quality of your build. At least that's what I thought. The make or brand of an armor has nothing to do with it AFAK. I bought it because it was of a quality that I liked, no more, no less.

 

Back to topic, I feel the need to have another round of studio photoshooting: this time with my BFG!

I can only recommend anyone to do this, it's really fun and you get top notch pics of all your gear.

I was thinking of purchasing a suit from PT. I know he's probably a recaster, but I think a good looking set of armor at a decent price, and being flexible is a good deal. My current FX suit is great for walking around and moving about, but transportation in the car is a pain to sit down. His ebay photos arent the best and have terrible lighting, but these studio shots show how detailed and amazing his kit's detail really is. I'm convinced and am going to purchase a set off him within the next year.

Pretty clean pics there sir. Looks fantastic!!

a regular poster boy!!!!

[ObiHahn[TK]]

Why thank you, how very kind of you guys!

[Eric]

wow dude, you never told me bout these pics. lol. all that time you were trying to explain how much better kits were in comparison to store bought... coulda just said check out my awesome pics. lol. after i finish my suit, i might just have to do this. lol. looks great

 

so i should paint the inside of the armor white?

 

and those last few shots... lol. totally awesome. better keep track of your blaster a bit better though

[Dearmeat]

Great pics, very good for reference as well.
