That looks like smallblock302 armor. Recaster and banned from many a board, including this one.

 

[stormshadow2100]

yes it is smallblock302's armour ...i asssume he was a memeber on here and taking credit for for some else,s hard work yes ? ..that sucks!!!..i didnt know he was a recaster !!

Maycol. I'd avoid ebay if poss and either A) do it yourself from sintra. You don't need a heat gun as I shaped mine using a hairdryer. Or B) buy from a member here. You get quality and a fair price too.
Happy hunting

Hey guys, you really are a good help, you are my mentors ^_^ for real, i say it from the bottom of my heart

till now the only armors i have seen that are decent are of course the BM and that from evolutions, but, im gonna think about making my own out of sintra or the "trash can" method

If you were willing to spend 175 on that armor, then why not just by BM?

well... have you seen the prices of BM ?? it even scares me :S or... why do you say it ? am i missing something here ?!?

 

[stormshadow2100]

BM is a bit pricey yes but at the end of the day its what you get what you pay for .

 

[maycol]

yeah so i heard BM is so awesome it makes me cry, wish i had 1000 buck just to spend crazy on him

 

[987654321a]

Spend Less, Save more. Mow your neighbors lawns for some money. Save up allowance. Do whatever you can to get BM!!!!!! lol, dude, I think that if you just absolutely cannot afford BM's stuff, then scratchmake it.

Unfortunately, I have some armor from Deathstar. I bought it before doing my research on here (learned my lesson). I was able to make it into something halfway decent by heating and shaping it a bit. "As is", it is pretty much void of any shape, i.e. flat. The more I look at it and compare it with Christian's stuff (cucblack on eBay), I think it is a recast of his armor.

Go with BM if you can, or try to scratch build. You can find some threads on here of some very nice scratch built stuff.

The easiest way I found to shape sintra chest armor is to boil each section separately and then lay it face-down inside of a glass saucepan lid. (Preferably one with a removable handle on the top.)

Wear gloves and work quickly because it will cool down fast.

 

[stormshadow2100]

I have to say that i went for Christian's stuff (cucblack on eBay) but Unfortunately he left me standing for over a month with no armour and was rude by telling me not to bother him ect ,in the end i got a full refund !!!

 

[maycol]

The more i look at BM armor, the more i want that, someone wants to give me a xmas present ??? what a hint of what i want?? ^_^

Before i found this website, i purchased a set of that armor off ebay. I upgraded to a set of FPV3 armor and will sell my old armor to you for cheap. PM me if your interested.

Not wishing to derail this thread...
But I know of some ROTJ 'FP V3' armour coming up very soon...

 

[maycol]

Oh no... thats not derailing at all ^_^ i think is great to know that for all of us

besides, this thread will die one day or another
