There is something ribbed in front of the magazine well that I don't know what it is supposed to be. You may need to remove that.

Maybe a bit much for EIB, considering how PoS hasbro's are still allowed.

It is continuously updated.

I don't know much about R1 makers, but a seller who just signed up and has 0 reviews can't be good.

I realize most of the noticeable connections here are repairs, but there is the top middle connection towards the back plate here which is like yours, and is not a repair:

That's how several of the originals were built, and it won't show once you put it on. Don't worry about it.

No, that would not be a good choice. Talk to the people on our vetted-vendor list. They can all sell you a kit without the helmet if you want keep the one you have.

Well so far I've only spoken of *owning* a replica. Not carrying it around town. But I've so far never had any problems with trooping since it's always been at private venues, not your average street down town.

If I bought a replica that did get stuck in customs, I'd still pay you for it. It's not the sellers fault. I bought a solid bronze hand-schaub webley from the states a few years ago that did get stuck in customs. But that was just to calculate import tax and VAT. I paid those fees at the post office when picking it up. Super easy (although a bit expensive, for an already expensive replica)

For Sweden it's real easy, as long as it's not a functional firearm, or has ever been one (meaning deacts), then anything goes. If it has been a firearm or currently (as in live fire, lethal stuff) then you need a proper licence for that specific firearm secured through proper agencies (ie police) bore you are allowed to buy the item. So replicas, air softs and air guns and such, with a total impart energy of less than 1 joule (the point where the projectile is capable of piercing the forehead bone) are a non-issue.

It's shown on the picture right above your post

Those double cap rivets are what the original suits used as well, so don't bother with splits rivets for the knee. Well, the original rivets have a hole on the inside (hollow stem) so they aren't "double cap". But those are still way closer than split rivets. The same rivets where also used to hold the belt together btw:

I think tapatalk doesn't handle out gallery module, so you need a real browser to view it.

RS Props actually makes some really nice TIE/ATAT helmets, they also have a Snowtrooper, and so does Troopermaster here on the boards. All of them were made fromvac formed plastic. For Fett related helmets, they were fibreglass and you'll find those sellers on "the dented helmet" forum.

Save the money, and save some more until you can get a proper kit. Don't waste it on the hasbro's and their like.

Don't confuse gauge with mm. 0.90 gauge is about 2 mm. TM comes in 1.5 mm or 2 mm depending on your preference.

The primary reason the 501st legion still exists is because it's non-profit. That's why we donate to charities because we're not allowed to keep the money by orders from LFL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
