Strider Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Today at a Troop we had the opportunity to make comparative shots from different armor and helmet makers. I thought this could help future scouts in making an educated decision and to consider the pro's and con's of each armor/helmet. Reference pictures from Star Wars Costumes book: Comparison of LW / D'chef / MLC Helmets Belts and drop boxes D'chef / MLC / SC Chest armor D'chef / SC / MLC / New maker Back armor and jet pack D'chef / MLC / SC SC / MLC / D'chef 5 Quote
stasz Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 This is fantastic! Thanks for putting it together, Strider! Quote
Darth Voorhees Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 cool comparisons. Im curious who this "new maker" is Im really liking the Chest piece shown. Looks closer to the real deal than any ive seen so far. 2 Quote
clown3y Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Great comparison! I bet the new maker is MovieFX Quote
Smiling Fox Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Looking at those reference pictures, it's really surprising someone hasn't made the thigh boxes closer to that size. 1 Quote
Stroker Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Looking at those reference pictures, it's really surprising someone hasn't made the thigh boxes closer to that size. They have. MC and Chef. 2 Quote
Griffin-X Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 They have. MC and Chef. I have boxes from Chef, good stuff. 1 Quote
Strider Posted June 6, 2016 Author Posted June 6, 2016 cool comparisons. Im curious who this "new maker" is Im really liking the Chest piece shown. Looks closer to the real deal than any ive seen so far. It's a German maker I'm in touch with. He has sent me his new chest armor for evaluation. He is still reworking his current molds but what I've seen so far from pictures he has sent me it looks really promising. 2 Quote
Inklegg Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Whats up with the backwards TD greeblies, ribbed collar, and left boot holster in the costume reference pics? Quote
Retrofire Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Whats up with the backwards TD greeblies, ribbed collar, and left boot holster in the costume reference pics? I asked about the neck seal with the armourers and command staff and it's acceptable to wear as long as it's underneath your mandarin collar and you are wearing your balaclava as for me in the deserts of New Mexico that's a no-go. If you haven't had the chance head over to the gallery and take a look at the MoM exhibit pictures those are interesting as well. Quote
The Scorpion Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Thanks for the comparison, this helps me with my decision. Quote
bugdozer Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 I would point out that from those armour sets, the Chef belt is the ONLY one with an accurate central V. 2 Quote
