Grand Moff Niko Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hi there. I have a set of trooper armour. I’ve had it for a while. It was a TK. I deicided to make it a TD. It comes as shown in the pics. Ab plate has been modified.( Still need to paint the buttons.) I have the Sniper Knee plate ( not attached yet ) and ANH TK hand plates. Would this suit get 501st approval as a TD once finished? I’m going to sell it and I don’t want someone to get the disappointed. Thanx , Niko.

theGreatSot Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Only thing that I can see, other than the things you listed, is that the frown should be painted gray. You've got some awesome looking props! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Moff Niko Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Thanx mate. I'm not streesed about the helmet. Not sure if I'll part with the helmet or just the armour. ( The helmet also needs 'ears' ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethB6025 Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Looks good to me, is that one of the Altmann suits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Moff Niko Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 Looks good to me, is that one of the Altmann suits? Good eye my friend. Yes it is an Altmann. It’s a great suit. But it’s too tall for me. I would have to trim the s*#t out of it to make me look good. It’s made of 3mm H.I.P.S.!!!! You could battle an Rancor in this thing. I want to sell it and buy either an TE2, AP or TM. Purely because I’m a short ****. I’ve posted on the 501st Legion site with out to much feedback. If I get the thumbs up that it would be accepted – then I sell it. If it’s a thumbs down – then I finish it and use it for display only. ( It's on a Mannequin in the pic's.) Cheers , Niko.

SethB6025 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I sent the pics to my Garrison's GML, I figured it has come up before on the 501st GML forum so she probably knows the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx mate. You didn't tell her it was an Altmann did you? I hope not. I want this armour judged on what it looks like and not the maker. There is a definite ‘bad taste’ that the 501st have for Steve’s work. Cheers , Niko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Much Garlic Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I didn't know Altmanns made armor. Looks pretty decent to me. Much better than the FX. And the black frown... well... you could call it a Special Edition Sandy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethB6025 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Probably the only thing that looks odd is that the belt boxes are a little shallow, overall it looks similar to an RT mod suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
