Re: Star Wars First Order Stormtrooper ARMOR kits Episode 7 TFA W/Rocketeer

Curtis is super busy with ant-man, captain america, starlord, daredevil, and all sorts of other props. I do think they underestimated the amount of work in making vacuum form bucks on this project, and maybe underestimated the amount of pulls needed to do a complete suit. Trust me - I vac form and it is not easy to design a buck that will pull correctly over certain angles. I'm sure they are working and reworking the moulds to create a fantastic end product. As the bouncing souls would say: keep the faiiith!

Telling me that they are super busy on other props doesn't make me feel better about this, actually adds more concern. Maybe the issue is the focus isn't put where it is needed. It is disappointing to see someone collect money from people and then shift focus to other projects instead of finishing what they started.

Easy now.. I am focusing on the armour just as much as anything else.. we have reiterated on certain pieces several times.. ordered new equipment and are molding some pieces to cast.. so there have also been a few other people working on this to help us out as well. And it is a ton more time than was expected.. So you might be disappointed but I need to pay bills and pay for things like rent and food.. that doesn't happen with deposits that already paid for plastic for this run.. I am working very hard to get this done. But if I focused %100 of my time on this then I would have no shop to work in very quickly....

Being one of the people who has put some time and work in on this project I feel I should chime in. This project took a monumental amount of time and effort before the models were even signed off on, you can only imagine the time the Rocketeer and I spent going over every single part of the armour checking it against the reference material and making sure it was right, let me tell you there were many very late nights and early mornings, such is the dedication here to produce a product you guys will be happy with. Deposits to cover materials have to be taken, simply due to the sheer volume of material needed for a run of this nature, as has been said, without those the shop simply wouldn't be able to operate and there would be no products offered on this scale. Trust me this will be worth the wait and the time and effort that is being put in.

Let's just say some people on here are looking to get cleared by the 501st.

If the armour is off in anyway, then it's not going to get cleared. End of.

Let the guys do their thing

Working on making silicone molds for all the pieces now, we are going to make some upgraded coldcast bucks as the originals were not able to hold up well enough to sustain. We may offer cast for those who want to get their suit faster of would prefer it.
