Hi everyone!
Some of you may already know that I have been busy working on the Galactic Marine armor. Progress has been good, but it's still a LOT of work and takes quite a bit of time (not to mention I have a 'real' job as well as trying to keep up on orders )
Nevertheless, I've come to a point where I've decided to start doing runs and offering the pieces that are already completed (I will update this thread as new pieces are completed and ready for production).
Following are a few terms of my sales...nothing new, but I like keep everything clear for everyone (veterans and noobs alike ). Please be sure to read them all the way through and feel free to hit me up with any questions you may have at any time and I'll be more than happy to answer them for ya
- As with all my armor, all kits will come rough trimmed. If you would like them finish trimmed please contact me for pricing (and turnaround times) as it will vary from piece to piece.
- These will be ongoing runs for the foreseeable future. I can pull any piece at any time (full kits or parts only, if you wish), you may mix colors (again white ABS and boltaron being a bit more...some pieces may not be pulled out of boltaron due to the stretch limitations of that plastic) and/or mix and match parts or buy multiples of parts only, if you wish.
- I prefer paypal, but will accept other forms of payment as well.
- I will ship international, but as expected it will cost extra and be determined by which country you live in.
- All shipping charges will include my handling, paypal fees, and shipping confirmation fees.
- I will do payment plans...HOWEVER, payments made will be NON-REFUNDABLE. So please keep that in mind before deciding to go down that road. Implementing this protects me from wasting valuable time, resources and materials on a project that someone backs out on.
- A quick word on shipping backplates. Because of their larger size, shipping will be more expensive unfortunately...no way around that one.
- To place an order, pm me with what you wish to purchase (parts or kits) as well as where you live, and I will provide you with a comprehensive price list and my pp info. Please be specific with which items you want in your order (i.e color, thickness, type of plastic, etc), thanks!
Please feel free to pm me or post any other questions. As always, thanks again all for looking.
Prices and descriptions (and measurements for most) of each piece will be provided above its corresponding picture.
Here's a quick look at the items currently available in one snapshot and below that a few test fit shots of the chest and back armor together
GM Chest - Currently available in black or white .090 ABS
$70 + S&H
GM Backplate - Currently available in black or white .090 ABS
$75 + S&H
Max measurement of the chest matched with the backplate without having to shim it is 42-43" inches (give or take)
GM Shins - Currently available in white .090 ABS
$78/pair + S&H
Here's an example of a set that I assembled. These can easily be adjusted to fit very large or fairly skinny legs (like mine )
GM knees - Available in black or white 1/8" inch (same price)
$15 + S&H
GM Right shoulder bell (ribbed) - Available in .090 black boltaron or .090 white ABS
$35 + S&H
GM left shoulder bell (smooth) - Pulled .090 black boltaron
$25 + S&H
And some shots of it from the front with the right bell and chest piece (as well as backpack) for comparison
Backpack kits (for use with my backplates) can also be used for the DL backplates if modified, but I would not recommend it
$200.00 + S&H
Kits come complete with the following items:
Pack main frame
Top rear outer shell
Side cannister shells
12" inch pvc for attaching side cannisters (2" inch diameter)
8" inch pvc for detonator (3" inch outer diameter)
Detonator caps
Detonator outer detail shell
4 stiff foam brown tinted pouches
A word on cost: I do realize that these packs are priced fairly expensive, however please keep in mind that the cost is not so much reflected in the materials as it is the time and difficulty of making the parts for these packs. The main frame mold alone is a very difficult piece to pull and get the plastic off of due to it's wonky shape, among other difficulties associated with the other molds (the side cannisters in particular). Thanks in advance for your understanding and please feel free to hit me up with questions/comments/concerns you may have regarding this
If properly assembled, your kit should look like this when done (or more than likely better than this, as these were done as a quick mock up for sale purposes only)
Note - I have cut into the mold the circular shapes for sliding the pvc pipe for the side cannisters' attachment method, taking the guess work out of the equation and to speed up your build process
Notice - I have included mounting tabs on the pack frame to allow easier attachment to the backplate. It is not necessary to use these, but it gives you another option for attaching the pack.
