yeah i dont need those so its up to the others. Also yeah got another e-mail so basically its going to be shipped to one person and that person would part it out and ship it. I would perfer it not to be me...cause I have a hectic lifestyle and probably family would yell at me seeing me having another set of armor (the dreaded big brown box of doom or so they say) So yeah i would be paypaling the money to one of ya when we get this all worked out |

Here are some pictures of the new kit pieces in WHITE. The kit you receive would be exactly the same but in the HIGH GLOSS BLACK ABS. Every piece has been newly sculpted. More accurate molds deliver cleaner, sharper, crisper pulls for a kit that now offers more features than ever before. All this is achieved while still delivering the same attention to detail, speed of delivery and level of service you’ve come to know and expect. As always, ALL pieces are vac-formed from high gloss .090 ABS plastic, then trimmed and sanded, wrapped and packed for shipping. Here are the descriptions of the new pieces. Chest Plate- Completely new! The breast plate now features enhanced details, and is much more authentic but also formed much deeper to allow for side gap trimming to fit larger troopers and smaller troopers alike perfectly. All lines on this piece have been sharpened, and side-breast details have been added and enhanced. Upper Back Plate- Completely new! On this piece, the gear cog portion has been enhanced, as has the surrounding box, with much sharper definition and details. It is pulled extra deep to allow for trimming and closure of side gap to fit larger troopers and smaller troopers perfectly! Abdomen Plate- Completely new! All lines and details of the Abdomen plate have been enhanced and made crisper with extremely sharp details. It has been made extremely deep to allow for side trimming and the closing of side gaps for larger troopers and smaller troopers perfectly! It and the cod piece are still one piece, and can easily be cut if you so choose. It also now has a very cool feature: REMOVABLE - CHANGEABLE center box details to easily convert from TK Stormtrooper to TD Sandtrooper with both plates included in the kit! Custom-machined ab plate buttons are now also included. They are exactly 7/16 of an inch across the face. These buttons are designed to be VERY authentic, meet 501st Legion standards, and are unpainted to allow troopers to choose their own color scheme. Paint Scheme: ANH/TESB: 3 Blue and 6 Grey. ROTJ: 3 Dark Blue and 6 Black. In TESTORS colors: Gray: #1138, Blue: The closest match to the blue found, in Testors brand, was the #1110 Blue. Or, 1772 Model Master - Blue Angel Blue FS15050. In HUMBROL colors: Gray: #5 Dark Admiral Gray. Blue: #15 Midnight Blue) Lower Back Plate- Completely new! This piece has now been pulled extra deep to easily allow for trimming, and to close side gaps on larger troopers and smaller troopers perfectly. The center box detail is greatly enhanced with sharpened lines. It features torso taper - very graceful with molded edges to allow armor to appear thicker. Butt Plate- Completely new! This all new plate has enhanced box details with sharpened lines and definition! Edges are molded to appear thicker. This piece is now separate from the lower back plate. Shoulder Bells - Completely New! They're approximately 3/4" narrower than the older set and they're much more flat sided for more accuracy. Biceps- Completely new! The biceps are now wider and slightly longer with much more traditional and authentic styling. They are made wider with expanded, trimmable side details for both inner and outer pieces! The inner piece includes the rare “thumbprint” detail seen on Luke's armor here: http://www.tonybarnett.plus.com/anh/bicepspart.jpg Forearms- Completely new! The inner forearm piece has been sculpted to be deeper and trimmable for troopers with larger arms. Thigh Set- Completely new! The thighs now have more traditional styling with tremendously enhanced lower molded edge detail. They feature trimmable front and back panels to allow a wonderful fit for large troopers. These pieces are symmetrical, giving actual right and left pieces. A narrow ABS Strip will now sharpen and cover the front joining seam. In addition to the other changes noted, the new thighs have also been made long - approximately 2 inches longer than the previous thighs. This was to allow tall fans to trim the thighs to fit them perfectly. Knee Drop Plate- Completely new! (Original TK style) The original TK style knee plate is sculpted to be sharper with more accurate detail, and to fit tightly over the top of the calf piece. The spikes and side spikes have been all been sharpened. (Sandtrooper Diamond Kneeplate is being made now and should be included in the kits!) Calf Pieces- Completely new! These new calf/shin pieces feature trimmable back panels to fit larger troopers, as well as tremendously enhanced upper edge details with a more authentic angular styling. These are actual right and left pieces, not the common pieces which utilize one side for both. These pieces are sculpted featuring the unique crown detail variation making the outer shell very, very slightly different from the inner shells. A narrow ABS Strip will now sharpen and cover the front joining seam. Thigh Belt- Completely new! This piece now has an extended rear section with a more rounded trim line and features a recessed rear detail which will help fit the thigh pieces in a unique and professional manner. ANH Handback Pieces- Completely new! These are the same size the as ones you are used to, but with an angular downward turn approximately one inch off-center. TESB Hand Pieces- Completely new! These feature rounded hand pieces with enhanced center ridge. ANH Sandtrooper Rectangular CHEESEGRATER Handback Pieces- Completely new! These obscure “Cheesegrater” style handbacks were worn by several troopers in ANH. (This piece is a work in progress – but should be included in the new kits) Abdomen Utility Belt- Completely new! This is the same size abdomen utility belt as before, but with a new design feature. It now offers slightly recessed center and side screw mount regions allowing screws to be covered with custom-made, molded white ABS plastic screw cap covers. Three covers are included in total, and are designed to emulate the traditional center square with circular detail found in the original belts’ center. To ensure there is no confusion about what is included in the kits, here is an explanation of the contents: FULL KITS – Will include ABS cement, ABS polish, Instructions, and an Original FX helmet with the newly re-shaped dome top for now. (A new helmet is being made, but is still in the earliest of production stages – hopefully to be available in the future). It has all elastic straps, but no standard-grade velcro. Troopers didn’t use it, so it’s being removed. Industrial velcro is now suggested but not included in the kit. The leather E-11 holster seen in the past is not included in this first run but is being redesigned, and will return in future runs. The TD Sandtrooper ab plate and interchangeable plate are included as are the ANH, TESB, and Sandtrooper Cheesegrater handbacks. TESB handbacks have been intentionally left a bit large to allow trimming to fit ALL or MOST hands. This helmet features both blue and black tube stripe options. LITE KITS – As before, this kit will include ALL body armor pieces, Instructions and will now include all needed elastic straps. As before, the LITE kits will NOT include ABS cement, ABS polish, Helmet kit or Leather E-11 holster. Industrial velcro is suggested but not included. The TD Sandtrooper ab plate and interchangeable plate are included as are the ANH, TESB, and Sandtrooper Cheesegrater handbacks. TESB handbacks have been intentionally left a bit large to allow trimming to fit ALL or MOST hands.

He ordered the LITE (helmetless) Kit and is wearing his own MRCE helmet in these pictures: http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/uploader/users/amarmor/1.jpg http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/uploader/users/amarmor/2.jpg http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/uploader/users/amarmor/3.jpg One thing to be aware of: On any pieces such as the shins others where you will be cementing one side and pulling them open wide to get around a leg or forearm, you may need to trim away the rounded lip at the edge or corner where they will flex, and make the ABS flat there. The molded edge is a problem with any piece people will be bending. It's kind of like trying to bend an I-Beam, the edges prevent it. I would trim that edge flush to the edge and the ABS will be just fine. That was the one thing I didn't like incorporating into this new suit, but fans wanted that molded edge to make the pieces look thicker. This is just something to be mindful of. ALSO: I offer black gloves for $25 added to your order or $25 plus shipping if purchased separately: http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/uploader/users/tyranus4/glove1.jpg http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/uploader/users/tyranus4/glove2.jpg http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/uploader/users/tyranus4/glove3.jpg http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/uploader/users/tyranus4/glove4.jpg http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/uploader/users/tyranus4/glove5.jpg http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/uploader/users/tyranus4/glove6.jpg GLOVE SIZING CHART FOUND HERE: http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/uploader/users/tyranus4/Glove%20Sizing%20Chart.jpg |

Wow, we have the whole suit knocked out, huh? I could ship from my place, if needed. We have a couple months to figure out how exactly to split the cash. I suppose I could pay for all of the shipping to me, then each of you could pay for your own shipping out your way. -iz |

All references to Imperial Commandos I've seen are just republic commando armor. Are they custom builds? If you find some references, please start a thread and post them. -iz |
