pauldron question

[TX-2193[TX]]

In the topics above I looked into etsy pauldeon and the one on eBay. Despite price and etsy being a bit larger at 21.5" to 19.5 on ebay which one is the better and more recommended?

[toddo[TX]]

How about some links to look at?

hi,

 

in my opinion these ones look the best:

https://www.etsy.com...oulder-pauldron

 

i bought one from this vendor for my Nova Elite Trooper and one for my Magma Trooper. I can´t say any bad about these.

i like them much !!!

 

greetings

Thanks brother. I submitted the order to etsy

A related question about pauldrons...do the colors signify anything in particular, or is it personal choice? Also, I see some do some form of accent color on the armor, matching that of the chosen pauldron color. Is that a necessity, or again, personal preference?

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Really, there shouldnt be an accent on the armor for it and the Pauldron should be black if you want the pauldron officially approvable.

[Avatar190[TX]]

Then black it is. Thank you.

 

 

BTW, back on the pauldron above...that Etsy one kind of looks floppy, and not overly rigid, especially when compared to, say, what Trooperbay offers. Being new to this all, I don't discount my naivety when it comes to this. So, am I wrong in this observation?

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

The etsy pauldron looks similsr to ones I have seen on ebay that werent as nice. Now, i dont know the seller and it could be perfectly finen but that would be a risk you take.

[Griffin-X[501st]]

That etsy seller also sells on eBay. I have a black one from her and use it for my Gunner. It's decent for the price, but not as nice as the one offered by Trooperbay and others. But, It will get the job done.

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Thanks, Jim. Great feedback.

[Avatar190[TX]]

Yes, thank you both.

I just got this one from a fellow who makes them in Ottawa. He did a pretty decent job and I asked for no padding except for the top shoulder and it's very thin flexible and easy to put on. But he can pad them up if you want as well. I can pass on his info.

[chwillis[501st]]

Bill, that doesn't look bad at all, good to know there is someone local. I do prefer the trooper1 (MEPD) pauldrons my self, have one of each (Orange, White and Black)

 

Not sure if the puffy detail is an issue with spec ops or not..
