ARMOR DETAIL SHOTS!

[sl9911]

you know when playing this game I loved the guards in it. Saber pikes, force powers and all. I liked the armor, maybe will have to look at it more closely.


Any good photos yet to post:

I was thinking about the armor the other day and I thought to myself, "Self " what about using some TX armor? The Shadow Guards' are leading a squad of TX troopers (Blackhole Troopers) in the game anyway, so technically it could work.
The back wouldn't cut it (at least not without serious effort to cut and fill the backplate box) but the chest and ab plate would work. A little modification to the shoulder bells

The ab plate is totally different than the standard TK. You can always take TK armour and paint it black.

You would have to trim the chest armor inward considerable. You could get a generic TK chest plate, but as it is with all the other armor pieces, it would have to be modified.

I'm not sure what you guys are talking about. The Blackhole Trooper looks just like a Storm Trooper except for one is white with black buttons and the other is black with silver or navy blue buttons.

The TX (black stormtrooper) chest plate can be used for the Shadow Guard, but it has to be trimmed more to make it look right. It is only the chest that will work for the SG, not the AB plate. That is a custom-made plate.

The chest will work - but the ab plate is custom - I made mine from scratch.

As did I....

From the ref pics that I've seen the standard TK is too broad in the upper chest. The slant of the trim comes in considerably.



It isn't pretty, but where you see the tape on this chest plate is how much extra that needs to be trimmed off.... on the outside of the tape, that is.

It also depends on who's TK plate you get - some are broader than others.
