  1. It would be great if we could convince one of the ROTJ troopers from FISD to do one. Who else makes ROTJ armor besides TM and CFO? (There is a cheap version on eBay made by Maker of things, but I would avoid that like the plague, cheap flimsy recasts)

    I can post something in the ROTJ forum on FISD and see what response I get. I would just have to ship the pack to them.

    I still think that the first Stormtrooper in the movie wearing the pack while using the ‘TK’ designation ON SCREEN is a pretty big issue that we need to address.

    Allowing it as an optional accessory with the new R1 TK might be the simple solution to this issue. After all the visual guide does say this "field-specific kit can expand a standard Stormtrooper's versatility."

    I have to jump in on this discussion.  This discussion was had in great detail on FISD last summer.  As a Centurion Level HWT, I originally pushed for this to be on FISD, especially since I had built many of the packs.  However, after very lengthy discussions, I agreed that it should be on MEPD.  One of the conclusions we came to was that ALL dirty TK's should be on MEPD (with the exception of the HWT, but that is a different discussion).

     

    If you really want to see all of the details, click on the link below.  This is the full discussion on the topic that I was privy to (as I am not on Command Staff).

  3. I think the only outstanding issue for us in the states is the mortar tube. I remember the UK uses a wider tube that isn't easily available here. I got end caps from tosche traders and they are much larger than the tube I currently have. 

    I use a 2-inch ABS black pipe. Sometimes I also use a 2-inch PVC pipe. But the outside diameter is the same.

  4. I bet Shawn would buy that frame without the straps. He's looking at getting these produced so it's a bit cost friendlier than buying Karrimors from the UK. 

    Of course I would. I just need one that I can cut into the proper shape and then I'm going to send it to someone who can reproduce in aluminum. I just contacted to from the UK today and neither of them shipped to the US. Why is it so hard to ship from the UK to the US? Since I am from the US I do not know why there is an issue. I can ship to any country in the world from here.

    I got something cool today! I pretty sure it's the first all white leather pauldron that trooperbay has made.

    Also got my First order shoes in. A little comparison to my sandy shoes.

    My R1 TK kit should be in tomorrow. Can't wait!

    Cool. I will be shipping your parts by Friday.
