Qui-Gon-Matt, should I PM on that one?

Thanks, what are you guys doing for the gloves as well? The ones I got with the armor look like black garden gloves, there horrible...

I'm leaning toward the EP III Arc Trooper - beat to snot as well

 

Did anyone see the red clone armor on ebay? Looks pretty good, closes in 20 hours and no one has bid on it yet.

 

I did see that. It looks cool but i think it's Stormtrooper armor not Clone. Maybe you could call it a transitional armor before the full Stormtrooper armor took over.

 

It might be, but it looks close.

 

Yes it does, especially painted up like that. Pretty cool job.

 

Plus it looks like it does not have the chest or back armor.

 

Hey, congrats all you new troopers!
When I was building my armor, I kept notes and saved the sites I looked at for reference to help anyone else who might want to know. here it is. This might help with your body-glove, boots, etc. If you can get a top and bottom of Underarmor for $40 total, that would be good, but otherwise the nylon-lycra dive suit many of us have is not bad. I have links to places with Cotton-lycra one piece unitards for $40, too, which would breathe even better and would not by shiny like the dive suit or underarmor (matte is more accurate)

 

Are you all building yours pretty much like this?

Nooo...the meeting is next weekend...

Hosier

 

Thats on Sunday isnt it? And I don't have to be there as far as I know.. remember.. they exile me up north

 

Alright gang, need help please...

Clone armor

Should I do Commander Bacara or an EPIII Arc trooper with a Bacara like helmet...Jungle Camaflague (not like Gree's

Do you think the ARC is a bit over the top? You can puy all kinds of goodies on them.

 

Dude the ARC Trooper w/camo. the Commander is a lot of stuff to carry around for a couple of hours if your are trooping. I am doing the sandtrooper and that is a lot of stuff then the back pack. I guess I will get use to it.

 

I've been leaning that way....I just wasn't sure if it was kind of off the wall....Everyone is so used to seeing troopers in white.

 

Man ... I feel you. I had a hard time deciding between the ARC and Commander Bly. I really couldn't find a quality ARC helmet that would fit my big head so I went with Bly. Your right though....the ARC troopers have some nice weapons....plus aren't they the most elite of all troopers????

 

Yup.... Lots of frags..

Well, The Brits run there special OPs squads in fours, we can be the first 2 for an ARC squad?

 

Hey Capt_Canuck!

We are going to be just north of the Springs....in Castle Rock for the Ren Fair...you should make a weekend of it and join us! We are going trooping in armor!

 

I've started on my Bacara helmet...It's looking good so far....pics coming soon, probably after fiber glassing this weekend.

 

Bloodclaw65, how's your gear coming along?

 

Clem....let me know when you start working on that armor... I need to get a clue on assembly. Mine should be here in a couple of weeks....or we could always have an armor BBQ and have the 501st Veterans clue us in. How about that brothers????

 

You got it! But Jess is the real pro!

 

i got the word that my armor's gonna be here next thurs. or friday!!!!

yay!!!

we should have a big armor bbq in a few weeks when everyone's stuff comes in.

i'll make all kinds of yummy food, and beg for help from yous guys...

 

My pad, I don't think I can do next weekend because Capt Canuck and I are picking up a "toy" in Colorado Springs....

The weekend after that would be good. I have all of my armor but I have some new pieces coming.

 

Hey Troops, I wanted to get your opinions please on these neak seals to see which ones you recommend please.

Thanks
