Nice job on the AP ears. Very small gaps... if any at all. It takes some time to get them like that. Doesn't it? I know mine did. So when are we going to start seeing pics with the gear on?

As promised here are some full body pics.....will tighten everything up after paint...

By "Tupperware armor" he is referring to "TupperwareTK", a.k.a. Deckard. He's a reseller of AM (and formerly FX) armor, one of most reputable around.

 

The "TK" designator comes from the scene in ANH where the officer in charge of the docking bay just after the Millenium Falcon was seized and searched is quoted as saying over the comlink to one of the stormtrooper guards "TK-421, why aren't you at your post?" I don't really think it stands for anything in particular.

hmmmmmmm.... so tupperware armour is basically FX recast.. anygood, or would you say a TE or AP would be better?

No. Deckard aka tupperwareTK sells direct from Mr. FX. He's one of only a few direct, reputable FX/AM vendors.

AM is the remaster FX, much better detailed armour....helmet is still the old FX though...but awesome armour none the less..
