Sly was referring to which version of TK (ANH, ESB, ROTJ, etc etc) not the armour maker. The version of TK you decide may have an influence into the amour make you pick.

Here is a link to the various TK versions: http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:FISD_CRL

Make sure you take into account your size (height/weight) when purchasing armour. AP is typically considered a better fit for the smaller/thinner troopers, whereas AM is a larger kit.

Also something to consider is the level of accuracy you wish to achieve. With the AM kit you will have to swap out some parts if you are aiming for Centurion level.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

If you plan to build for higher levels of accuracy check out the EIB and Centurion build threads and requirements .
Both Altair and I built straight to Centurion. It is much easier to do this from the outset and isn't much more work or expense.
Are you using the same forum name over on FISD?

Actually yeah, I didn't realise at first what the 'Centurion status' meant, but after looking into it a bit more, I think I'd like to go for that.

That's awesome, and you won't regret it.
On a side note, generally people will call you by your Forum name on Troops etc, so may I suggest you choose something shorter and easy for people to remember.
If you do decide to change it, Moxxxie is the one to send a PM to and ask for it to be done. She lets everyone make a change once, after that it's gonna cost you beer, and lots of it.
