    Armor Drama

    in The Barracks

    Posted

    if I were you, I'd stay away from AM regardless of whom you'd get it from. The bobble head is a joke. My first kit was AM, and I'm slowly transferring to ATA which is really sharp. AM is like the next FX, and FX is being pushed out slowly but surly. Waiting sucks, I agree, but it's going to be worth it.

    I just put up a photo to give you an idea. Check it out here. http://www.tk3425.com/?p=1840

    vf2112's rubies to TD build progress

    in Sandtrooper Armor

    Posted

    ok where to start;

    well first try to remember less than a mth ago i knew NOTHING about this(things havent changed much)i didnt even know MEPD or FISD etc existed i bought a set of armour over the internet thought i could slap a pauldon and pack on and ta-da sandtrooper :)

    and to make it worse the armour was....rubies:( so many mistakes .

    So heres the progress.

    first i think you need to see the size difference this pic is shin the way i got it the other after trimming and heat treatment:

    so all i can say is lucky it was an XL size so i can trim thge **** out of it but i actually started with the abs ,now i really need some feedback on them the rubies besides being crap to start with was not only storm not sand but inacurate ,so.... i built one from scratch:)

    started by cutting out abs shape (from a sheet of HIPS)

    post-5276-0-32701900-1354688389_thumb.jp

    then cut out detail

    then glued them on

    then heat curve trim and sand and add to backplate via 6 rivets and on the other join ind velcro and the press stud

    because armour was so large i think i got well away withtrimming the rotj curved lip from around the body pieces

    in The Barracks

    Looked further and I see that some are different but definitely not the sandy with binocs his are stormy so ppl looking for approval should not have to change abs both should be acceptable even if you are a cpt assuming ther would be more than one?! Anyone?
