My AP armour

Hey folks,

Finished my armour a wee while ago, just finally got some pics done, (not great pics as I had to do them myself with the timer&#33 I went for an ESB style on this armour as it's my fav. Tell me what ya think

(P.S. Special thanks to a few folks who were kind enough to help me out on some things: Paul the "troopermaster", TonyRB and of course, Jez for all the reference material on your excellent site mate. Not forgetting "AP" for an all round excellent experience/service. Thanks guys )





Cheers, Gord.

That is an incredible set of armor. I would love a set like that for trooping. I have a TE glossy and non glossy set but its so hard to find the time to complete strapping them. Can you tell me where to go for some tips?

Josh

Thanks Josh. PM sent mate.

Cheers, Gord.

Glad to be of service Gord but I can't see the pics

Good work man

Cant see the pics now... but id managed to get them to load earlier, looks fantastic!

Ah,now I see them

You've done a fantastic job on the assembly Gord,it looks great! Nice to see another ESB suit

-Paul.

Looking great!

Thanks guys

Cheers, Gord.

Fantastic suit! Glad to see people are doing the ESB suit, definitely my favourite.

Nice work!

Gord, top job my man, you wear it wear it well too. You're welcome for the advice, trimming the armour is a bitch isn't it but worth it in the end as your photos show.

Great to see another ESB

Thanks again for the kind words guys

Tony, yes mate, it was a bit of a biatch to trim it all out! Like you said though, it's all worth it in the end. Very happy with how it all turned out

Cheers, Gord.

TK8410, when I saw the first thumbnail I could have sworn that someone had stolen the first pic of me in in armor. Even the background looks like the home we just moved from.

After looking at the full size pic I saw quickly that your's is much better than mine. Great armor. You should be proud

Great job! I love it!

Of course, I NEVER refer to this stuff as "armor" myself because it just doesn't live up to it's name throughout ANY of the Star Wars movies.

yeah it does it stops the laser blast... its just the concusion knocks em down&#33; :P

I thought it was only supposed to "deflect" laser blasts. Not able to stop a "straight shot", though.

Looks great&#33; I can&#39;t wait to get my AP kit.

Nice job. I have a set of ap that I am getting ready to put together. You did a really sweet job on yours&#33;

Jdboushh

I just finished off my Shadow Trooper recently, my AP kit is unfortunately still in it&#39;s packing carton.

Can I ask what makes this an ESB version? Is it the hand armor? I notice that those are different than the hand pcs in the photos that the AP guys sent me.

Well, one difference I know of is that the frown on the helmet is painted black in ESB instead of grey as in ANH.

The main differences for ESB are black teeth and decals for the trapezoids and tube stripes on the helmet,different style hand guards and the holster worn on the right hip.

Thanks, Guys.
