Looks like left overs from other armor builds! Is that a biker scout back? The shins do look interesting.....

go take a look at his website... i believe it's ok to make cheap and inaccurate costumes for yourself, but i don't get the point of making a business of it! Is there anybody willing to spend 35+22(shipping)$ for some bent pieces of sintra? As we say in Italy "this is such a bitterness"!

I hate to say it but I'm pretty sure anyone who purchases that will be disappointed, regardless of how cheap it is. I doubt very much it would be 501st worthy either. IMHO
Not to mention it looks like the helmet was pulled from a Vader helmet judging by the center line and shape

Yeah I saw this the other day while doing a Galactic Marine search, to be honest it looks cheap.I can't see how this would be approved anyway.I plan on making what I can't buy.

He/she should not be using that picture to sell that armor as it looks NOTHING like it, please people don't buy stuff like this. When people buy this crap it only makes the seller think he can sell more of it, it is a far... far cry from accurate and would be a waste of money. Money better used to put towards some decent parts. My 2 cents

all his armor looks sad as noted the only part that has a chance is the shins after much reworking

I wish there was a way to contact that buyer. Not just to warn him, but to find why he would possibly bid on this.

I just hope no one tries to get 501st acceptance with this junk, or thinks they can. We want to keep the caliber of the costume up to the highest standards and stuff like this just doesn't measure up. Disappointment will follow the purchase. I noticed someone who bought a set of his Snowtrooper armor commented in the feedback "501st here I come" , I doubt that will happen. It's just sad to see . I'd like to see his vacform bucs

His ebay rating is 99.2% which is'nt that great,means he has some bad feedback. Anybody with half a brain can see this stuff is junk.You get what you pay for.

I messaged him asking for more information and to see if he would post pictures of his vacform molds, he has ignored my question which leads me to believe he doesn't have them and we all know what that means. :wink:
This was his only reply "Hi, we made this ourselves using the Galactic marine as insperation."

Yeah if he's not responding then it's safe to say he a phony. Better off making your own armor or waiting for some quality stuff to come forward.
