| TM or "Trooper Master" is
another type of Helmet and Armor made available over recent years -
though this time from a prop producer here in the UK. |
|
|
| These great shots are from Rolf in
the Nordic Garrison (Copenhagen to be precise) of his TM helmet and Armour. |
|
|
| Rolf's also taken some similarly
great photos of one of his other sets, an "AP" set which is worth comparing
- see the AP photo's here |
|
|
| I like this picture below, it's
like a "YOU - Come over here, now! (cliiiiiick)" |
|
|
| Thanks to Rolf for these great
shots. |
|
 |
 |
| These photos are courtesy of Jack
of his ANH Stunt Helmet and armor - so impress was he that he's ordered
another set which he intends to dirty up for a Sandtrooper. |

Each of the various types of "screen-accurate" armor
featured on this site was actually cast off a single set of original RotJ
armor, back in the late 90's. However, as you probably know, the RotJ
armor was itself a "recast" off an original ANH set since
there weren't enough sets of armor available for RotJ's filming back in
1981/82. Therefore one of the problems with all "screen-accurate" armor out
there is that its actually not "ANH screen-accurate", but more "RotJ Screen
accurate".
However, the armor TM's produced is interesting since he's
sculpted his own armor based on photo's of original sets, rather than recast
an existing set. So on one side you could say that it suffers because its
not cast off a screen-used suit, but on the other it benefits from having
some of the specific ANH attributes. |

| I'm not sure what its made of but
am presuming Styrene, although Jack says its very glossy, rugged and perfect
for trooping, adding "TM has included all the small Stormtrooper armor
details that other armor makers have missed. The armor is the correct
"Milky" white and not the "blueish" white that most kits come in." |
 |
 |
| Jack's clearly a fan of this armor
for trooping, adding "TM's strapping system is the best I've seen of any
armor - he makes the upper legs attach to a belt you wear on your waist. The
ab, chest, butt, upper and lower back armor plates are all attached together
through the strapping system and are fitted on like a clam shell from your
side." |
