Roaddog Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I just picked up the 850 armor works Shoretrooper kit. My plan is: dark side closet for the shirt and pants endor finders for the gloves imperial issue for the belt found some orca bays for a reasonable price I think I may go for level 2 with this. May even pop for ukswraths speaker kit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikerScout007 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 An 850 Lancer build is a bit more challenging, but it IS possible. Check out this Lancer app while doing your research! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roaddog Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 The dark side closets Shoretrooper shirt and pants, are they good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilika Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Can't speak to the shirt, mine is Imperial Boots, but the pants are wonderful. The Dark Side Closet is well known for quality. Hope that helps. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roaddog Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 @BikerScout007 my local auto parts store doesn’t have the Toyota red, and Amazon it’s 20 bucks for a can. Is there anything else close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roaddog Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 My armor arrived today and I am not happy with the helmet from 850 armor works. it’s kid sized almost. Doesn’t even fit on my head. who makes a good helmet that can accommodate troopers with big nuggets. Like myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roaddog Posted November 14, 2023 Author Share Posted November 14, 2023 Just now, batphobic said: Hey @Roaddog - any updates? How's the build coming? @batphobic Slowly but I am making some progress. Family and personal issues got in the way. I’m currently working on the greaves and am working on the strapping for that. im like 80 percent for the chest and back attaching them together. I need to do some bondo work on the side and work on how to attach the shoulder straps. then it’s the forearms and the biceps to put together. then i gotta clean up the belt boxes, paint them and attach to the belt. and I need a new helmet. The one I got doesn’t fit me at all. I ordered one that fits up to a 23” inch head and I’m 23.5” inches so finger crossed i didn’t waste my money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
