i was wondering what exactly goes on at a typical 'armor party' ?

^_^ well, the clone wars; by implication of the name, the clone wars could be about the abuse of clones as infantry, and yeah, order 66 would still happen, so just replace the droids with clones in different armor. the scene of yoda vs dooku, where dooku has the reactor thing fall on obiwan/ani; instead of simply letting it drop, yoda should have had a crowning moment of badass and thrown the reactor into dooku's ship, causing it to crash, clones capture dooku, and thus deliver a crippling blow to the sith and ending the clone wars alot sooner. one interesting irony is how the in-universe mandalorians of that era side with the seps, leading the clones to despise their mandalorian heritage (jango), and eventually drop it in favor of more generalized Imperial Culture. i would change it so that there would be both jedi and mando generals and commanders. i also would have had the ARC-170 pilots helmets more enclosed, with the visor screen covering the whole face, even tho its transparent. that way you get a more sensible continuity to the rebel and tie fighter costumes. i also would have up-powered the jedi and siths force abilities, but then again, im a fan of TFU

after some research, ive discovered that its called buggy-rollin, and that the armor is designed by Jean Yves Blondeau, aka 'The Rollerman' ^_^

my point exactly ._.

gee, looks like George's intentional avoidance of artistry and fashion in the OT's is coming around to munch his ***, no? well, not that im going to be a lucas-hater, but he kinda has it coming when he tries to cut people out of the process....

i hate to resurrect a dead topic, but it seems to me that 501st'ers as a group might want to officially swing towards blaster scratchbuilding from PVC and wood, and detailing in fiberglass, before 501st membership includes proxy membership of various countries 'most wanted terrorist' lists.<_< ide also recommend that troopers with de-milled weapons promptly retire them in favor of having the item serve as templates for blaster kits and measurement refs, perhaps conglomerated into some kind of 501st vault.

and thus, Kinetica has been born

well, since my quest for a vehicle has largely tanked out, im currently modifying a walmart clonetrooper helmet to be more accurate, even tho i have stormie armor below the neck. <_< right now, im settling for A Helmet, rather than The Right Helmet .... unless you know someone who's willing to trade it for an ANH helmet (as im 5'10) ?
