Smally Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 Troops, I'm looking around for some decent Sandtrooper armour and have seen this on flea bay. Any one ever bought from this guy or know of the quality? I have mailed the guy a couple of times and he seems friendly, however it all comes down to the quality for money! Up for sale in the link is just a helmet although he has stated that he sells the complete armour. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ANH-stormtrooper-stu...=item3358fb8896 Cheers guys, Smally.
bluehickey Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 Just looking at the photos and seeing the ears as one piece with the helmet instead of separate pieces screwed in, makes me think it might be a recast.

Yeah I thought that but on his advertisment he states "ANH stormtrooper helmet Classic stunt style trooper lid , 4 part construction ( faceplate , back 'n'cap and 2 ears)" Smally.
Trooperman Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 The helmet is four parts ie. front back cap and two ears these helmets are very nice and i dont wanna go down the road of what is and what isnt recast
bluehickey Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 Ask him for a pic of the inside of the bucket, that will tell you a ton!
BFA Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 The helmet in question is mine , I'm not getting into any debates etc , it's a 4 piece lid as stated and originates from my CAP molds which were sent to me by CAP and then tweaked by myself. Cheers, Ps , the ears are seperate , just very well fitted
JoeR Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 Andy is a top guy and you have absolutely no worries dealing with him at all. Joe
TK-7980 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 I own #1 of Andy's helmets. Nothing to worry about, sturdy, shiny and just plain awesome.

Cheers, Ps , the ears are seperate , just very well fitted Hey Andy, It is a nice looking bucket. Just wondered if it is styrene and what gauge?
TK-7980 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 Its High Gloss HIPS. 2mm or 2.5mm. Its thick thats for sure.
Darksaber Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 Just looking at the photos and seeing the ears as one piece with the helmet instead of separate pieces screwed in, makes me think it might be a recast. Try enlarging the pic, I was able to see them. Nice looking bucket BTW.
Smally Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Posted January 7, 2010 After several emails from andy and some other guys that have got his kit, I have decided to go ahead and order from him! Okay so I may have to wait until pay day, but at least I'm close to getting my sandtrooper and rejoining the ukg! Many thanks to all that answered and sent pm's, that's what makes this forum so great! Andy, I'll be in touch very soon with the order details! Watch this space... Cheers, Smally.
Heatshock[501st] Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 wow? really? hey Andy - no drama, think my recasting stance is stated from before mate, but this aint abt that. I really cant keep up with TK politics any more - CAP is ok this week then? pm on its way. Nate
