zarintyr Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I noticed..my KS chest piece is different than other troopers. The collar area is different Also the color is not pure white like other troopers. Has anyone ordered any armor from KS before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I have a KS kit, but have replaced most of the parts. The chest/back are still KS (along with the knees, biceps, forearms, and belt). Everything else is either too large or poorly shaped. Yes, the KS chest is different than the SC. I'm assuming your comparison scouts are wearing SC. The rectangle is smaller and the overall shape is different, but not too bad. The lower front chest section is more accurate. I got mine in 2011 and it's still shiny white. Another scout recently reported his KS kit had a purple hue. It sounds like they started using a newer plastic. Got pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarintyr Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Another trooper here has a KS bucket. It was a little pink, he repainted with urethane. The GML here suggested I recolor my armor. Guess that's what needs done. Time to hunt down some white urethane:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Voorhees Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 From what some armor makers have told me, different batches of even the same plastic may be off in color, its apparently never an exact macth which is why sometimes we see slight color changes. I think its more expensive to have it done in a pure white. But that said, yea you can paint it. The movie armor was painted so it'll be more accurate technically lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarintyr Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Oh. Different batches with color difference? Very interesting! Yes. I'll end up painting mine to be more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Sometimes, batches of plastic will have a colder, blueish hue, others will have a warmer, pinkish hue. That's nothing new. If you have to paint it, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarintyr Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Yep. Going hunting for urethane paint this week and hope to start painting this week also. Trying to find a buddy with a sprayer I can use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
