Rolf Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hey Rolf... How are you my dear friend? I was wondering... if you could start a new thread sometime, with your comments and opinion about different armors and how was your experience putting them together. For example what do you think about TM armor vs RS armor... plastic, shape, sharpness, etc. That would be awesome. Having that kind of input from an experienced builder as yourself, and who is also a TD armor expert, would be very interesting and also very useful for troopers to choose between armors. For example, someone over the LSD wrote that the ultimate white armor would probably be a mix of RS helmet (and now better with the new HDPE), with TM armor. I don't know since I have never seen a real RS armor. But I am also guessing that a Gino bucket would be awesome with a TM or RS armor. Anyway, there is lots of room for discussion there, but your inside pov would be awesome to have. Saludos mi amigo for you and little Sylvester! Thanks bro I would say... nothing can beat a first generation cast of a screen used ANH suit. And in nice ABS thickness as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 I know what you mean Rolf....I feel like I haven't had a minute to myself in over 2 months. Have about a week or so to try and catch up on things....then valentines day hits and I'm back to a million hrs. After that though I'm free until NOvember Just start a new job up, and worked crazy hours like a mad man. But lucky from late next week, i will have more time to go into assembling the suit. So new progress pics coming up real soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, i try my best each time assembling them Do you mean the bumpy back and cap, if so many have that as all the TE line age helmets + Gino´s. I´m very happy for this RS kit here. To me i guess the RS and TM are top of the line out there, if i should say what to buy. After those two monster, i will say the TE line age suit: TE, TE2, Cap, Cap-W, PT, ATA.

Rolf Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Small update. I trim a bit off the biceps, arms, and legs, and shins today. These are just test fittings, as most of them are still way too big, and will be trim more down. Same for edges, for better fit of the parts, and move accurate looks. I hope to trim them for perfect fit, and glue the straps on this weekend coming. New pics up very soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.black Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Looking really good Rolf. How are you finding the fitting compared to TM? I would maybe like to get a shiny set of armour at some point and would be torn between this and TM. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a hard choice, both suits are the best out there My last TM: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
