    i thought its about time we have a thread that is dedicated to the armoured troopers!
    for those who just wanna talk about their armour when ever they like with out waiting around for an event.
    this thread is for anyone wearing any kind of armour eg: strom trooper, clone trooper, vader, boba, jango etc...

    a thread to talk about armour changes, paint colour, touch ups, replacements needed or required etc..
    how we bring our own armoured character to life and what makes it so unique to us
    or just plain and simple talk about the great characters they are on and what made them our number one favourite star wars character in the first place...
    enjoy and have fun SAFFers

    "its the armour right... chicks love the armour" qouted by batman changed by me


    ARMOURED TROOPERS.... UNITE!!!

    While I'm not exactly an armoured trooper, wearing the armour is addictive! It's lotsa fun being able to be an armoured Jedi!

    I do have a crappy blaster, but don't see me needing it ... it's so uncivilised! :p

    Am thinking of working on a lance to complete the whole Clone Wars Season 1 look. Just need a bike so I can go riding around :p

    TB is a 501st term for a Biker Scout. TK - Stormtrooper, TB - Biker Scout, TS - Snow trooper , ect.

    What sort of helmet are you getting ? Replic Com ?

    Long term goal would be an accurate beehive trooper from the 212th. I've seen a few attempts at that helmet, and it looks very easy for it to go horribly wrong.

    Ok, official explanations.
    1 - TB is because they were first know simply as "Biker scouts". They evolved into scout troopers. TB = Trooper Biker.
    2 - My armour broke whilst removing it after the photo shoot. Top left rear shoulder part of the main back piece, snapped clean through. Anyone with a TB can attest to it being a weak part in the design. Definately needs reinforcing...


    Still not happy... :(
