FryGuy Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Been doing some thinking. Anybody ever consider a Fett-style dent in their armor? Maybe not so much from a blaster hit, but maybe a hand-to-hand-style like "that farkhole just hit me with a womprat club" sort of thing. This been done before? I will try this effect on some spare armor parts I have and post the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Have never seen that on a TK or TD. Have seen the battle damage with computer motherboard showing thing, but thats it. I guess it could look cool. Keep us posted on your progress!! As for me, I am staying with the ANH look. Saludos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 It could be cool in a modded up bounty hunter style armor for sure. Or having a "battle-armor He-Man" style chest piece you could swap out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 In some screen caps I swear I can see what looks like cellulite on the butt/thighs. Not sure this would really be much of an issue for normal trooping, but you should check with your GML for anything canon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try this effect on some spare armor parts I have and post the results. could def look cool but may keep you from doing "LFL" events that require strict screen accuracy. Also certain GML's are very picky when it comes to things like that since they are essentially signing off that your armor is movie accurate. however, its your armor....do whatever the HECK you want!!!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodman Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I dont think it would make sense because the armor is supposed to be a "plastoid" type armor and being so and not metal leads me to believe it wouldnt dent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know. I always thought it was made of something called durasteel (don't know why). Which to me sounded like very strong but light and durable steel... Anyway, Im no expert here. My armor is made of plastic Saludos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastic Fury Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I dont think it would make sense because the armor is supposed to be a "plastoid" type armor and being so and not metal leads me to believe it wouldnt dent. Thats kind of how I always figured it too. Same on the blast marks, I always wonder when I see huge blast marks on troopers because I don't remember seeing too many TK/TD's taking blaster hits and getting back up :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FryGuy Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 You are right. I thought troopers were durasteel, but Vader's was durasteel (and Fett's before he upgraded). Stormtroopers were plastoid, so a "Fett dent" would not happen. Blaster hits could, however, happen... (From Wookiepedia) "The most obvious function of the armor was protection against weapons fire and battlefield hazards. The armor, and the body glove worn beneath, were designed to disperse the energy of a blaster bolt and insulate the wearer, lessening injury. Although standard armor lacked the durability to make the wearer immune to cannon fire, it could partially deflect or disperse energy from low, medium, and high-energy blaster bolts; though the wearer may be incapacitated, survival would allow the trooper to receive advanced medical treatment that may return him to service. It also deflected stun beams, and served as excellent protection against explosions and shrapnel, thereby drastically reducing the effective casualty radius of fragmentation weapons used against troops wearing such armor."

Plastic Fury Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 lol Wikipedia can say that I guess I am just going by what I saw in the movies. Every time I remember seeing a Stormtrooper take a blaster shot in the original trilogy, they were not getting back up lol. Even if they did survive, I am sure the Empire could afford to replace that one part of damaged armor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think of it like we are kind of on our own on this hot-arsed, gosh-forsaken desert heck hole. Some drunk farmer taking pot shots at us because we are answering a domestic dispute call, or breaking up yet another fight at the cantina wouldn't have a cannon, but more likely a smaller blaster. Our armor could repel firepower of that magnitude. I guess I have been watching too much "Cops- Tattooine" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TB-2945 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 along with weathering is it ok to have blaster scoring...tastefully done? it would sure add to the rugged look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared.....weathering should be as close to screen accurate as possible but really comes down to what you are looking to do. screen accuracy or personal liberties....whatever you decide....make it fun for you bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyBoy Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 im not trying to do any particular sandy from the movie...just my own. would it affect MEPD Elite status? Cool....Im sure it will look awesome the "Elite" program will be require very strict screen accuracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 It never has been an issue in the past. One of the fun parts about being a sandy is that between weathering, pouch placement, pack tweaks, etc. you can really personalize your gear within due bounds, and thus every TD will look different. While it's great to have screen accurate references, I hope we don't get so anal that people have to replicate dirt patterns to be accepted.
