GUESS WHAT!! The Pink Armor is back! Check out here http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=5827

Well here's one that has to go so I can have more money for my divorce. Thought I would let you guys see what the idea looks like before I try to sell it on some online auction. Enjoy!! ANH armor I got off ebay for $200 (bad pulls) along with more femaletrooper chest plate plus extra back plate to go with it I got off ebay for $200 as well. What I've done is taken my old TD armor (has a couple of cracks on the armor due to trooping but makes it look worn and torn just like a TD!) and converted it over to a female TD armor with battle damage/or you can leave it as TD armor as the male chest plate will be thrown in. Your choice. All of it is already assembled and put together and painted with acrylic and tempera paint for dirt and battle damage effects. So you may need to trim again and sand down, re-Velcro and what not for your size. I'm 5ft 10 and weigh 215lbs so that gives you an idea. The model you see had to have the armor photoshopped shaped if you will to fit her. Top she wore, shoulder bells she wore arms she wore, and hand plates she wore. I have skinny arms. LOL. Ab plate with belt she wore but had to be photoshop shaped. Lower legs and boots she wore. Upper legs had to be photoshop shaped in. You get the overall look and concept though of what it could do. Includes the FX helmet $180 ebay kit 2006... which is already put together. (Has one fan $16 triktoys 2006. I had to take out the other fan cause it died, green gel lenses and mesh. Foam padding was placed in the inside but I had to take out. Will need some clean up) Also Sandtrooper blood red pauldron $40 Triktoys 2006 Ammo pouch $40 Triktoys 2006 Kenner blaster painted black $36 Hasting Music Store 2008 Black gloves $10 ebay 2006 Black neck seal $33 ebay 2006 Size 10w mens boots $80 of ebay 2006 Time and money spent on armor $100 (BACKPACK NOT INCLUDED!!) Total comes to $935 All you'll need is the black under armor and you're ready to go. I'll let you guys know how this does. Posting it on the main 501st site as well before I put it on ebay. Thanks

Well my friends this little beauty SOLD over at the main 501st sight last weekend without having to post on ebay. It went for $1,360. That included shipping and handling. Sold it to a member in NJ for his girlfriend. With the popularity of this little beauty... from this forum sight and other 501st sights.... I have gone ahead and I sold some of my autographed stuff to buy more female trooper armor parts. What I'm going to do is take my old TD armor and convert it over to a female TD armor with battle damage. CHECK OUT HERE!! http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=5734

Photoshop was done on the basic concept of the artwork and wording. white Duck tape was applied to the armor to fit the model. No need to Velcro, button and rivet the armor for someone that buys it that I have no idea their measurements. We had issues with the belt staying on her so that was applied on via photoshop. I didn't have a pair of boots for her to wear so those where photoshopped as well. But the over all of the armor she wears is all real.

No. LOL It's a model that works in my company. Glad you guys like it!

I had been working on this armor for my little sister with some ANH armor I got off ebay along with femaletrooper armor from ebay as well. I was inspired by the Force Unleashed Stormtrooper Commander. I hand painted with Acrylic paint... battle damage and pink insignia. HELMET ALREADY ASSEMBLED AND HANDPAINTED WITH PINK LENSES and mesh vent! But do to martial problems I had to let my sister down and now I have to sell this. Thought I would let you guys see what I did before I try to sell it on some online auction. Enjoy!!

After a year of hard work and red tape. The armor was approved!!! Thanks guys for all your help. P.S. I was at Star Wars Fan Days in Plano TX. Got a pic with a fellow TD. sthey would post here. Point me in the right direction of where to find it. Thanks!!

Thanks on the Field Pack tips. I will do that. I ran out of paint and money to get the rest of that done. Thanks for all your help here on my costume. So is the weathering of the armor passaible? Will it work? Do I need to wype some paint off or add too? Thanks once again guys ':y:'

TD 1536, You're correct on the armor being bad cast. It's made of very thick plastic compare to the plastics used for ANH or FX. That's why I geared more to TD then TK. Atleast I can get away with wear and tear Ya Know? I have ammo pouches I just didn't put them on when taking the pics. They will be on for last photo to submit to 70th Explorers. As for the Fields pack I did my best to get it semi close to looking like a Fields Pack but more situable for my needs. And good news, it's not made out of cardboard. So over all I'm wanting to see if my paint job is okay. My leader doesn't have a problem with the cast of the armor just was wondering about the weathering. Seth, thanks for the coment. Not bad for very low budget. To me it almost seem's like you've got to have thousands and thousands of dollars to be in the 501st..... unless you've got connections. Bottom line, alot of Red Tape and I do respect that or we would have cloth costumes with Don Post masks. What ever you guys can do to help me to get this thing fixed before my time is up and I'll be greatful:D

TD 1536 I figured out what I did wrong. Here's the pics back at the top SORRY

Yes... here is the Field Pack. Some of it was from TK 409 design and I used some others for my own so that way the Pack can carry things in it. It also holds a Bike water bottle so that way I can take it off the pack when I get thirsty from the heat. I've been joking around and inside the pack I've stored real ARMY MRE's

TD 2479, The armor is ANH. The ANH armor I got on ebay from some nut selling it for $200!!!! I thought well I can go ahead and make the armor TD instead of TK with the instructions on how to paint armor by TK 409. I added some batel damage to it as well. The armor is made of thicker plastic so I'm wondering if they were bad pulls or maybe an experment with thicker plastic for the price of $200. As for the helmet it's FX of course. One day I would like an un assembled ANH helmet.

I need help getting my armor approved by my 501st 70th Explorer Leader. My Membership Liaison: Rhonda Brown - TB1165/BH1165, had few concerns about my armor before I listed in the 501st as TD. One being the weathering. she' not sure it is accurate with sandtrooper markings. She was going to check with some Sandtrooper experts. She said I could also post my pictures here and get some input, as she would accept that as well. SO HERE I'AM My weathering I thought was okay because I used TK-409's insructions on my ANH armor. But Maybe I'm wrong. I added a little battle damage. Should I have not done that? Also noticed the TD's in the 501st 70th explorer (Where I'm from as SL 8099) and none of them really have any dirt on them. They look like they just got dropped off on Tatooine for active duty Is that the way I need to look? ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT

Weathering problem. Is TK 409's paint tips not good?
