    Newb Question: TE Armor?

    in Sandtrooper Armor

    Posted

    Could be worse. In my garrison everything is FX, execpt for one AP bucket (mine) and one TE2 bucket.

    On the bright side, here is your opportunity to take the lead with TE2 At least you'll be unique.

    You are right on that!. All most every one in nordicgarrison/denmark have the GF hero armor or the GF/AP stunt armor (i got the AP stunt armor). Maby its time for some TE2 or TM armors in the garrison. See you on patrol in mos eisley later trooper. Have a nice day
    Didn't know there was a Nordic garrison... that's awesome.

    I think I have waited long enough. I really need to get some info on the TE2 helmet and armor and what is available and what material it is made from... I need info, so I can determine how much to save up over the coming months... and how long it will take to save up for whatever I would love to own (please read that it will be a slow saving up, since the money are very few atm. though info would be nice...) - so... who should I contact, please?

    Thanks

    No mate,your still not getting it

    We are talking about the base strip,the raised section where the seperate 4-button strip is glued onto.It has a slot cut out at the bottom but is mostly covered by the strip with the buttons on it.It is more evident on sandtroopers' ab plates.

    Ah... I think I know what you are talking about now... the circular cut or dent below the four botton piece?

    Well, if the RotJ was cast on top of an ESB suit then it probably wouldn't show, due to the overall lack of detail in the RotJ casts.

    Did I get it right this time?

    That's the notch your talking about.The ROTJ suit's don't have this feature as far as I'm aware,due to them basically being a recast of the ESB's and mods were made to the moulds.There may be the slightest trace of it though,I'm sure John (stormtrooper) will know more.-Paul.

    Well, the pictures of the real RotJ suits over at starwarshelmets.com suggest that that feature was there... just not as sharp as the ANH & ESB suits and not always painted up, but definitely present, which, if you think about is quite logical if the RotJ suits where formed on top of an ESB suit (or am I still not getting what notch is being talked about?):

    I really thought this had been discussed before on this forum... guess I was mistaken... hmm... strange.

    Doh!! If I only knew how to put arrows on pictures…

    You can draw arrows in Paint. All Windows versions has that programme... try it out... it's quite simple.

    That way you can show what you are talking about... 'cause I'm not entirely sure what you are talking about...

    @ Grifter:

    i assume the left trooper only wears one of the reused sandtrooper suits from anh. all the sandtroopers had this little notch at the downside where normal stormtroopers have their four buttons...

    look right here:

    Nah, 'cause the trooper on the left DOES have the ab plate detail with the four bottons. I think what he means looks odd is what I'm showing in this cut-out of the left trooper (second arrow).

    Hi all... am not sure if this is the right section to post this question in, so mods, please move it if it should be elsewhere.

    I believe there was a topic or at least some discussion about the strange looking Stormtrooper (bubble lenses, ANH frown, upside down section on the ab plate) on the far right of this ESB Promo Poster, but I haven't been able to find it again:

    http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/star...motieposter.jpg

    What I remember is that it was mentioned in the discussion that this suit was shown in ESB - in the Carbon Chamber scene, but I'm not sure - and that it was the one suit sent to Bermans & Nathans to make the RotJ suits from. It would definitely match up with the ab detail and the very distinct looking helmet with the bubble lenses.

    Am I remembering this correctly or am I completely wrong and imagining things? Any info on this enigma of an ESB trooper and it's likeness to the RotJ suits would be interesting to hear.

    ebay question , Mutual agreement not mutual?

    .: td8020 :. You can always file a "non-paying bidder" claim. Then you will get your eBay listing fees back.

    Thanks. That will be my last option. Right now he said he'd pay me for the relist, but hasn't. I'll give him one more day, then take matters to the next level.

    What's worse is he's a 501st - I know his TKID. I'd rather not leave him neg feedback, but I feel he's giving me no option.

    Well, when filing a non-paying bidder claim you can mutually agree to end the transaction - he goes free and you get your fees back. There are NO relisting fees... only if the item doesn't sell the second time, so he is basically offering you nothing.

    I would really file the claim now and get it over with, make a mutual agreement not to follow through, then get your listing fee back and then relist the item. That way neither of you are hurt from the deal... even though he should have paid what he bid for in the first place. You are giving him a "get out of jail" free card by doing this.

    Speaking of phishing, how exactly do you report it to ebay or to an agency? Do you just provide the email address and the supposed user name? Are you supposed to forward the email you got? I've never actually found out what steps you are supposed to take other than not clicking on the links.

    You have to forward the mails to spoof@ebay.com for eBay and spoof@paypal.com for PayPal

    Hope that helps.

    .: slave1pilot :. I would take the refund, give him neutral feedback and then buy from someone more reliable. Don't let him get the eBay listing fees back...

    1:6th scale weapons and accessories

    in The Barracks

    Posted

    As the title suggest I am looking for nice minuature scaled weapons and accessories to customize my 1:6th scaled Star Wars figures and busts. I though I had saved a site with all of these things, but the bookmark has apparently been lost in one of the recent formats of the HD, so I'm basically looking for good and "cheap" online sources for, mainly weapons, in 1:6 scale, which I can add to, to make it fully Star Wars! .)

    Just a few monts ago I was flooded with sites sellings such items, yet now, when I search, I can hardly find a single site worth looking at... strange.

    I'm basically looking for the equivelants to ammo pouches, rifles & blasters in 1:6th scale - anything which the original props were based on, which I can then customize.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    My first steps into Sandtrooper realm

    I have just received these two busts and they absolutely look cool, though, I still consider repainting them, since GG didn't do a very nice job with the white and the dirt on the armor... but until then I just need your help. Does anyone have pictures of the helmets of the white pauldron trooper (and is he the one saying: "Look Sir, Droids"?) and the orange pauldron trooper carrying the strange rifle. I need pictures of the front, side(s) and back of both helmets to make sure that I get the "decal" areas right, and the painted portion of the earcap, if I decide to repaint them. That would be cool.

    Any help in making these busts as accurate as possible is appreciated.
