Rolf[501st] Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 Got this beauty from TrooperMaster today. It will be my around # 10 suit, and the best/most accurate of them. The suit is so accurate, in 2 mm thick solid glossy white ABS, and still very sharp. I think i could fall in high speed whit this one, whit out hurting my self... a true armor for sure LOL. Troop on, and enjoy Quote

ThayNerd[TK] Posted January 9, 2010 Report Posted January 9, 2010 Very nice looking forward to watching you build Rolf. Quote
james007bond[TK] Posted January 9, 2010 Report Posted January 9, 2010 Hi Rolf, can't wait to see a build thread for the Sandy.... or will you do that on MEPD? Paul's stuff is simply sensational, the pulls so crisp and clean and that new faceplate, what more can one say.... I gather that Jez is already creating a new webpage for you to showoff your suit once completed? hehe And yes, i'm ginna say it again... I gotta get myself TM armour.... (perhaps I should make my AP into Sandy... now there's a thought?) Quote
darthfoster[501st] Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 Looks awesome, wish I could fit into one. Thank goodness for RT Quote

(perhaps I should make my AP into Sandy... now there's a thought?) Hi trooper. Yeah i will send them to Jez ha ha... I will post updates both here, and on the MEPD. The new upgrade TM here is a must have, for ANH TK/TD lovers Small update: Quote
james007bond[TK] Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 Just noticed the supplied finishing strips too.... that's mighty decent of the master to do that too.... Still can't get over how good that face plate looks.... simply awesome... and the shoulder bells look amazing... love the pinching detail and the spine detail..... Quote
stukatrooper Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 As always fantastic job on the lid mate.At first glance i thought you had cut way to much off the return edge at the bottom of the chest plate. You know your stuff mate as i checked the screen grabs of some sandtroopers i see that there was almost no return as you have done.This sort of screen detail is what makes for a great set mate. Keep us upto date on this one! Quote
TomG[501st] Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 Rolf, It looks like late Xmas present Quote
SW1 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 Hi all that is anh trough and trough , i have the sds armour but imo tms captured the ahh very well ,could somebody put me in contact with paul so i could have the same armour . Regards Steve Quote
Billhag Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 Rolf I don't know mate, you're getting slow in your old age, 3 days in and you haven't finished this little beautie yet? ... Tchhh!! Looking mighty darn fine there Sir, and as I've told you a million times, I bloody hate you and the way you make it all look so bloody easy But I love you and all your skill and your unbelievable attention to detail Can't wait to see this Bad Boy in the flesh in June matey. Now get a bloody move on and stop messing around! Quote

Now get a bloody move on and stop messing around! Hahahah nnnNNOOO stronger then ever I dremel trim it on my ceiling here, we got around minus 5 degrees at day time, and minus 10 at night. I was up there around 4 hours today... and PPPpheeww the warm bath felt good after that Here you go: Heres todays work. Now i only need to trim the one leg, shins, and belt. Then its E6000 gluing time: I need to make a new elastic strap system for it too, so it might slow me a few days. Plus i just got a new 70´boy scout frame in, i will add it on, and drop my pvc frame. I will also add the new TM side tube + TM canister/end caps as well: Troop on Quote

Keep us upto date on this one! Thanks mate. I check all my ref pics before i cut this monster. I normal leave more plastic on all the round ends, but i can see it have leave too much vs. what we see in ANH. So this time i trim more off, and i´m sure it will look better/more accurate too.

troopermaster Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 Everything is looking good so far Rolf Remember the original armour had absolutely no return edges on the wrist, so you'll need to cut them back even more if your going all out for screen accuracy Quote
