TK-7828 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I dont have an unlimited budget so I found this seller. Says its 501st approved. Is he legit? Does it look recasted? I know helmet looks a bit sloppy but the rest of the armour looks ok for an untrimmed eye. Thinking of buying another helmet anyways or reheat this and mod it. I guess there are no other makers that has this price for all the hard armour? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Unless that is Jeff on Etsy, then I'd say that this is a recast of his stuff. The knees are a dead giveaway. And they're his old spec ones. I'd avoid and find another seller, or go to Jeff direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stasz Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 NO armor is "501st approved". It sends up a red flag to me when a seller uses that particular phrase. There are however several makers whose armor has been consistently approved when finished to the standard set for in the costume reference library. A better way to think about it is "Approvable". I agree, it looks like recast SC armor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 No, Jeff is the owner/creator of Studio Creations armour of which this looks to be identical (to his older stuff). So unless this chap is Jeff himself, then this armour is likely to be a recast and probably avoided. Jeff is a good chap and ripping off his armour is a poor show indeed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time someone says 501st approved we all get the same feeling as when someone runs fingernails down a chalkboard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
