Re: Rubies Supreme Weight issue fix?

None of them are symmetrical. That's how they were originally made (one of the "benefits" of being sculpted by hand. All the SW helmets from the OT have this issue). The nice thing about the foam is that it isn't super dense, so it "auto fills" the space and it ends up sitting ri...

Re: Rubies Supreme Weight issue fix?

I also have the Rubies Supreme and following some older posts when I was doing my research, I made a foam shoulder/back pad that works well. The back part is upholstery foam carved out and attached to some foam board that goes to the front. The sides are actually women's shoulder pads and covered th...

They have added quite a bit of stuff over time. They just added the soft goods for the new Praetorian Guard!

Re: New gloves/boots from Keep Trooping - 1/22/24

I guess I should have said "new to me", LOL! Interesting about the boots. Like I said, I was just buying new ones cause I needed a bigger size (I needed them since the beginning, but put it off until now, and just crammed my feet into the boots). I didn't know they had changed them since I...

New gloves/boots from Keep Trooping - 1/22/24

Hello all! Keep Trooping recently updated their boots and gloves for their RotJ Guard kit and I bought some to replace the ones I had originally got from them (back in 2020) and figured I'd post a quick review, for those interested. Pics below are comparing my originals vs. the new ones. The gloves ...

Re: My ROTJ royal guard WIP

I have this issue as well. And it almost always gets tussled when I put my pike in my hand. Not being able to look down to see if my cuff is correct or if my hand is sticking out too far or not enough drives me crazy! I basically just do what I can and hope for the best! LOL! If I have someone else ...

Re: My ROTJ royal guard WIP

Looking good overall! Like UG said, they'll definitely want all of you in the pic. If you're doing it by yourself, it is trickier, for sure! Camera w/timer like you're doing will work, just might need to set it back farther. I did it that way with one set I had to do and having to keep taking the he...

Re: Endor Armory is missing 2 people for a saber pike run

Oh, I have the RotJ pike, not the Shadow Guard version with blade, my mistake. So, I can't answer the size question for ya, but yes, mine screws together at quite a few different points, so I assume that version would as well. I don't really "swing" mine around (since I just basically hold...

Re: Endor Armory is missing 2 people for a saber pike run

I got one a while back for my RotJ kit and it’s quite nice! It is metal and very sturdy and breaks down for traveling easier. I don’t really have anything negative to say about it…

If you have any specific questions, let me know!

Re: Force pike question

My original one (RotJ) was a modified version of the plastic toy I got off Amazon. The pommel and shaft were decent, but I made a new topper (3D model and printed) and designed it to come apart for traveling. I painted the main shaft with a chrome rattle can (ended up doing a few coats for better co...
