Ask and ye shall receive. This comes complements of my new graphics card in the Mysterious Box (it seems to be the brightest lit area of the game). If you need more pics or other angles, just ask and I’ll angle it differently. If you are able to do one, though, I'd be interested in buying a "repeat performance."

This is definately one costume I'd like to see done as a kit.
 I always thought it looked menacing.

fantastic reference material, man - From these images the armor as a whole makes an interesting comparison to medieval sets of armor and how they were worn. I think you can notice it the most in the lower torso. |

The Sith Trooper armor always looked cool to me but it never really read as SW to me... |

I think it was based on the "original" Stormtrooper sketch. I mean, it has the elements visible from a couple of G.I.Joe costumes, but the armor overlap is the same as some of Uncle George's sketchbook work from back when Luke Starkiller was fighting Dark Vader in a one-on-one dogfight at the end of the movie. |

I was going to say that it looks like a space-aged futuristic Roman Centurion type.... - Bill |

Give the game try!! It is a good one (even better than KOTOR II) and it is closely related to the KOTOR comics series. |

What about PC version? I think it is better than the console one. |

The "skirt" on the thighs does move as you walk, but it doesn't move much. The most important part of it is the solid piece in the back. As real life is not pixelated and actually has to follow physics, I'd suggest putting in a hinge on it so it moves with the legs and doesn't trip you. I'd also suggest possibly making either a Sith rifle or vibro-blade to finish the outfit. Most are seen with a single vibroblade sword or a rifle. If someone wants some pics of those, I can see what I can do. |

Personally I don't share an interest in this sith trooper but I'd like to see someone actually make the armor and wear it to an event. That would be so sweet. |
