:lol: I´m happy my wife love the movies, and costumes.

She´s even a 501st member :D

Mines warming up to it, she wants me to designer her a custom Sith outfit. So who knows, might get her in 501st at some point -- I still need to get around to submitting my 501st stuff ;p

Thats an awesome armor history Rolf... and just as I have said before, every one is just better than the one before. Great collection!! Congrats bro!

My history is not that awesome. It is reduced to two sets or armor, but had gone though very different stages and improvements, from a regular FX to my TE2 (which I tried to make as screen accurate as possible).

Here it is:

August 2006. This is my first attempt on TK armor. FX kit... Not very well put toguether.

Posted Image

January 2007. HWT or something like that. Inspired by the fanfilm IMPS teaser.

Posted Image

July 2007. First Sandtrooper attempt.

Posted Image

March 2008. MEPD deployement pictures (not very accurate)

Posted Image

August 2009. FX kit + TE2 bucket and several upgrades on my gear + "Screen accurate" backpack

Posted Image

January 2010. TE2 kit + new and improved gear

Posted Image

So, this is my history so far.

Still some chapters to come for sure... :)

Saludos

You have also made some direct up the accurate stairs bro, and getting better and better each time too.

I guess we will never stop, before we are 100% :lol:

Thanks for your shoulder clap bro.

I have try to reach the accurate goal for the last 10 years.

And i guess i´m not done yet, as i have both Dave M/Brian R TE2 helmets on my way + TK/TD Dan Laws suits :D

(the DL suits should be ready in march, crossed fingers from here)

I believe you own or have owned more suits than were available to Lucas when they shot on location in Tunisia.

You **** right.

Heres a shot of them in action, where i try to direct them before we start filming :lol:

(actual i have been i tunisia in my early 20´, and seen the dusty streets down there.

Maybe i should find the pictures, and post them here.

Sadly i did not see Mos Eisley, even i was really close to the right location back then)

Cheers :D

Hey Rolf,

Just curious - why did you go from a TM in 2007 to the TE2 then back to a TM again??

Jack :)

Just to check the suits out my self, i took the TM before the TE2.

So far there are only 2 good suits i think, and thats TM and TE2.

TM because its the most screen accurate ANH replica ever made.

TE2 because the helmet is a ANH screen used cast, and therefor the most accurate...

and the body armor a screen used ROTJ modify into ANH, and therefor got some pretty nice history to it.

The 2007 TM, suit was a HIPS version.

TM 2010 are a upgrade body armor, and helmet and all in gloss ABS.

The body armor is even more accurate then the 2007 hips version, and the upgrade helmet so well made.

Its looks like a screen used, and also more accurate then the 2007 version.

To be safe, i guess you need to have both suits.

A mix would also be cool, TM body armor whit TE2 helmet on.

But TM new helmet blow me away, so i took the helmet too.

I guess i will troop as full TM TD, and sometimes whit TE2 helmet on too.

(i will have new TE2 helmets on my way, in the end of this month/the new SFS TE2 helmet).

Cheers bro :)

great timeline, Rolf! that´s where the knowledge comes from!

i wish i hadn´t lost most of my older pictures when a hard disk crashed last year... :6:

Thanks bro.

I´m sad to hear about the disk, i lost my mac ibook whit all my ref links/sites in it as well in 09.

But i´m getting them back slowly.

Don´t you have paper shots, my older shots here are just digital shots of old paper pictures.

Cheers :-)
