What armor parts are folks looking for the most?

how much are gauntlets?

OK, now I feel dumb...

I went back and added prices to each- remember these will be just the vacuformed pieces; no resin details like the arm rocket, knee darts, etc.

Mark

I'd be interested in some gauntlets as well. What would the total price be for a pair with the resin parts included?

I would love to get a backpiece, knees (with darts if you have them, cod piece and gauntlets (both L and R)

If you are making them, PM me the price for all this and I'll pay!

I would be interested in the gauntlets, the knees and cod piece. If this offer is still open please Pm me with more information.

i might be able to get some gauntlets

What material and what thickness is the material your working with to make your armor? Is it styrene? I actually may be interested in a right gauntlet if I can't get the one I'm working on to work with me...It keeps getting kinked up in one place as I think I should have made the hinge longer...

I wanted to ask if you have ever thought about creating a set of Republic Commando armor out of a heavier material like ABS or even fiberglass? That's going to be my next project I think unless i go for the standard Stormtrooper attire if I can't find decent RC armor...Thoughts?

you do very nice work. have you tried toe spikes? if so hit me up. (thanks)

The material is .080" styrene. The parts will come untrimmed, but the plastic is easy to work with using a exacto and/or dremel.

ABS is a big pain to use, especially here in Florida where humidity can affect the plastic. There is a similar plastic that is more reliable called Kydex. Both ABS and Kydex are a bit more expensive though and I've found most people just don't want to spend the money.

Fiberglass is a whole other thing- I usually sub-out the work when I have to do fiberglass.

Is the Rebublic Commando armor similar to the regular Clone armor? I did Clonetroopers for Disney a few years ago, so I have vacform molds for all that.

Mark

...i thought i posted before, but i don't see it now. would there be a price break for the collar if purchased with the backplate, or just the chest? I'd like to know if i could get the set of collar and back armor for $30

-=QuinN!

There is only a price break if its with the collar because I can fit both molds on one sheet of plastic.

Mark

How long do you think you will be offering this stuff?

-=QuinN!

At least for a few of months- I'll keep the offer open to TDH members for a while.

pm Bradleyfett

You said about clone moulds... How much are those armour parts running at?

Have you tried pre-drying it in a hot box for a day? You can make a hot box out of plywood, with a plain light bulb in the bottom as a heater.

I'm interested in Gauntts, a Cod, and knees

I am interested in kness, back plate, and left gauntlet. Please send info to pay if you use pay pal

I've tried several things, including something like you mentioned, but I still end up with a batch of plastic that works maybe 1 out of every 4 sheets. I just decided to stick with Kydex when I need something like ABS- its more expensive, but much more reliable.

Mark

OK, I've has several people ask about clone armor- I have to take a look at all the factors (spare time being the most important) to see if I can take on accepting orders for this. I'll post something here and/or in the cargo hold when I decide.

If I were to make the clone armor, the material would still be styrene, and the parts would still need to be trimmed, etc. The cost would probably be somewhere between $500-$700 for a set that doesn't include the helmet or boots.

I could also of course do individual parts in needed.

I'm wondering how many folks would be interested?

Mark

Also,

If there's anyone interested in Fett parts that I missed/didn't PM, let me know (please send me a PM)!

Mark

If anyone wants anything on the list, please let me know now.

I just took on a job for some movie props- shooting begins in mid-February, so I'll likely have little free time very soon. I may have to put the offer on hold for a little while if it gets too crazy.

Thanks!

Can you give me a price on shipping a pair of gauntlets to the United Kingdom?

$70 total should cover it.

Mark,
Just to check this, you quoted $70 to ship to the UK, plus $50 for a pair of gauntlets = $120 right?

One thing I didnt realize (wich is fine) is these are all designed for Jango... not Boba... just so somebody dosnt make the same mistake I did. Good stuff though!!!

whats the difference between jango and boba's gauntlets
(sorry, still sortof a newbie with this stuff)
i'm most likely interested in a pair because i'm not worried about movie accuracy just yet.
if you plan on doing some boba gauntlets, i would definately buy those

I thought jango's gauntlets didnt have the spot for the keypad

Theres just a flat section where the boba guant would have a keypad.

You are correct. The other gauntlet is also different for Jango.

I'd love to get my hands on a set of knees and gauntlets....

I need knees (in real life and as armor!). I would order gauntlets if you made a Boba ESB version...

Scott

I would be interested in a back armor when my taxes come in

Hi, Its almost been a month now since i last heard from you (even though i have pm'ed you since). The armour i ordered still hasn't arrived, and i was wondering when it would.

I ordered and paid for:

2 gauntlets (right and left)
1 back piece
1 cod piece
and a set of knees (with resin bits if you had them - you said you might be able to send some)

Hope to hear from you soon.

Geoffrey

i'm thinking those gauntlets would be a good step for me. my last pair suck. but i'm curious, does it come with the flamethrower housing?

Hey, I got a cod piece so I only need Gauntlets and Knees (with Resin parts if possible) THX dude

Hi there, Thought I'd drop in and say that I can't wait to get my Gauntlets... Hope all is well with you.......

i got an email from mark a week or two ago basically saying "i'm swamped, i'll get there as soon as i can, i'm sorry"

i don't know how many people got it, but he's still alive

Bump. Anyone heard from MB?

I received my gauntlets today. Thanks Mark!

Hey everyone,

First off, let me apologize for the extended delays in getting everybody their parts. I got very quickly swamped by a prop job for a movie- it started out as one model and then balooned into about a dozen different props over the course of the entire shoot. I haven't done movie work in a few years and I had forgotten just how all-consuming it is timewise.

Anyway, that project is done now and I believe I've gotten everyones parts out except for one that will be going out in the next couple of days.

If I missed anyone, please let me know.

If anyone is interested in any parts, let me know that too- the workshop is cleared and I've got plastic in stock so I'm ready to go!

Thanks again for everyone's patience!

Mark
