DACT Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hiya. Just at the painstaking research stage folks. Had an email back from troopergear stating something about a new run of NE armour. Is this stuff compliant to 501st? Not sure if this is the right place to ask so sorry if its not! cut and pasted for your ref. I am 6ft tall. ALL body armor pieces NE helmet kit - This helmet kit is a very accurate face on a 3 piece helmet design for durability. Included is the hardware for assembly and custom aluminum mic tips. ABS cement ABS polish Strapping kit with hook Velcro sewn (note: sticky back velcro will be required and is not included). Includes different ab plate versions with and without ab buttons for different versions ANH/ESB/ Cheese grater hand plates LITE Kits Include: ALL body armor pieces Strapping kit with hook Velcro sewn. (note: sticky back Velcro required but not included). Includes different ab plate versions with and without ab buttons for different versions ANH/ESB/ Cheese grater hand plates LITE kits do NOT include ABS cement, ABS polish, or Helmet kit. MISC ARMOR INFO: ALL pieces are vac-formed from high gloss .090 ABS plastic, then trimmed and sanded, wrapped and packed for shipping. The kits do not currently come with assembly instructions as we have not had time to complete them for the new design, but you can find tons of reference material and build threads on forums.whitearmor.net PICTURES: http://s1130.beta.photobucket.com/user/Troopergear/library/New%20High%20Gloss%20W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inglorious trooper Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hey lee, Got to say ive never heard of this armour! Have you looked into the recomended Armourers on this site yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hi Lee, Your could also check out the FISD as well. They also list all the approved fabricators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smally Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hi Lee, I personally would only recommend the top two amourers. They are: TM (Troopermaster) and RS props. Both are at the higher end on the price list, however that's because they are the best out there. RS have a web site: http://www.rspropmasters.com/ One of the guys owns an actual screen used suit which has been recasted and offered to the public. What you're getting is a replica of his suit. TM is a member on here. If you'd like a price list of what he can provide, drop him a private message. Have a look at both the mepd and the fisd for pictures of his armour. Paul is one of the original armourers and his suit is what's known as a 'fan sculpt' as all the moulds were made by him from reference. I personally would go with him for your kit Hope this helps so far mate, Brad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc6538 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Yeah, I've just been looking at a couple of NE builds on FISD. It looks mostly ok, more accurate than FX, but not to TM or RS level. One of the builds had some issues with the forearm parts matching up, but it's definitely 501st compliant (as long as you put it together right ). I haven't seen a completed suit yet, but the parts look good. Your link doesn't seem to be working, BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
