New source for black pauldrons?

[DarthDyer76[501st]]

The only source I had to buy a black pauldron was www.shoulderpauldrons.com, but since they're not making any right now I'm in a holding pattern on that front... does anyone have another possible source for a pauldron? I don't NEED it, but I think they look cool with the black...

This one is considerably more expensive, but you can get one already in black.

Hit up "trooper1" on MEPD.net

I don't own one of his pauldrons, but I only hear good things about them.

I also am looking for places to buy black pauldrons. I know for sure that TrooperBay has them but not sure how they are and they seem to be a little pricey. Does anyone have any of these and if so how are they? Thanks, Jeff / (GRAYSHEEL) / Jediberserker73

I thought about buying from Trooperbay, but was turned off by his price. It's way too expensive. If you guys want to know where I got mine, I got it on eBay from a seller called "sitharmor" for about $15. I didn't consider being a TX back then, so I got the one with orange coloring. I recently sprayed the orange parts black. It works for me.

However, they're only $15 for a reason; there's better options out there. Like I said before, trooper1 on MEPD is your best bet at finding a decent pauldron, no matter what color you're looking for. You'll have to contact him yourself to get information on pricing, shipping, etc

SA sells much more than pauldrons...

[DarthDyer76[501st]]

I went with the ebay pauldron:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stormtrooper-Sandtrooper-Desert-Trooper-Inspired-Shoulder-Pauldron-Gray-/300887273535?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item460e47703f

 

For the money, it seemed like a decent option to start out with... funny thing is, the email address from the seller was the same as the guy from shoulderpauldrons.com, who told me they hadn't found a new supplier yet... is it possible what he's selling on ebay is overstock from an older run?

 

The pauldron looks great... doesn't seem like it's cheaply made or anything... I should be able to paint it and be good to go:

 

[Master Tej]

Hmm, that address thing is odd. I wonder what the situation is there.

[xanthis02[501st]]

yes it's overstock he found in his warehouse

[Master Tej]

Ah, I see.

Ya, and I think it has less padding than his new ones, but you may be able to remedy that. I bought one just to play around with.
