Runnriottt

I have 2 out of three. I do own a Hyperdyne board for my GB props. The TT is good. I wont be mounting it in the helmet though, Ill be attaching it to the body suit. The helmet will only contain the mic. The Skullworks is good as well, but for me It croweded up the helmet to much, but worked as advertised. Of the two, if i had to choose, the TT does more, but is harder to rig. The SW is self contained.

Welcome to the FISD, you seem to have money in hand and want the quick answers... Trust me, read read read. Then spend your money. It will pay off in the end.

UPS wont do the UK I thought... Thats going to kill you if they do. USPS is regular mail in the states. I have shipped from Japan to France for about 100 bucks. The size of the box is another concern. THe bigger it is, you are just paying for shipping the empty space in it. If the armor can collapse, thats a better option. I think thats Way to high. USPS will take about 30days...

If you watch his Vid in the first posts, The core in on the website listed... I cant wait to get mine!

There is a whole lot of talent in here! Wow!

I love an ESB lid. Great job.

I think the color is awful. Might be screen, but IMO way to thin and flimsy. They had to be changed.

Great thread, I am excited to stt the end result as well. Started in on my MRCE, tossed the ears, brow trim, lenses and hovies. Ordered new ears from John, bought some brow trim and got on that dude in Japan making lenses... I will use some stickers and tubestripes I have from another build. Stompers Hovies should round out the build. I am finaly going to build a Sandy lid for the heck of it. Looking for the Movealong High Brow look. Started hacking and got the ears flush. Puttying up this weekend. Can you hear that? Its the sound of a thousand dremel tools spooled up and slicing into their MRCE's... This thread screams Sticky!

There are a few mod threads in the forums about the CE, Good reads. Pad the inside better, the stuff stock is horrid. The lenses need replaced, there are a few options for makers on the boards if you want to buy them, but if you have some welders/grinders shield lying around, cut some from that. Read up on the requirements on getting the bucket up to snuff for teh 501st, there are a couple threads on that in here as well. I like the skullworks, and again, there are a few more options around here as well.

I am currently a full time studant, attending the University of Maryland. I am studing Spelling and grammar. I suck at it. No...my major is Environmental Management with an Asain studies minor. 2.5 years to go... I have done alot of things, but mainly Engineering. I am a certified Gas Free and Post fire analist from my last job, the US Navy. Served 8 years as a Machinist and engrave shop supervisor, among other things. I have been well trained in Firefighting and rescue efforts and really wouldnt have a hard time going to into that line of work. Before that I worked in the Auto industry, painting and mechinic work. I am pretty blue collar and love it.

Should match if there both ABS... Shiny white is shiny white right?

Great start! Dig into trimming your calves, looks like they are pinching you huh... Dont look to line up on top. Your belt is too high, but you said that. I use a little ind velcro to hold it in place. The top of your leg armor and thigh armor trim is what I see right now anyway. Velcro on the sholders fell off... If you havent gone with the heavier stuff, make the switch. Youll love it later. The more you wear it, the more you will tweek, and then the better it will feel. Looking good, keep up the good work!

Whoa boy... Here we go... <_<

Just dont go alone... Just like Thumper said. Have someone watching for things, you can get mobbed pretty quick. I do some on the side stuff here, and have been unable to move for about 20 minutes from all the onlookers. Be ready to draw attention. Good and (hopefully not) bad.

Sweat. Alot. I dont hump things. <_< Doing the "daily Troops" can be cool, just remember the States have diffrent feel to them. I really didn't have any fun when I did that stateside. Felt like I was a target the whole time. Now thats diffrent in Japan. What you do in armor is a reflection upon the group as a whole, and the messing with kids and humping thing comment is just bad karma. Not good man.

I have a Joggers camel back, Small and I use it in Vader. I have had thoughts of modding my Scout tank to hold water. The TK wouldnt be all that hard, just tape it under your back plate, and route the hose neatly under your neckseal.

I will do my Scout Carbine. My E-11 will be Hyperfirm. Looking at the plans I dont have the shop anymore to do it. I will be picking your brain for some info, so look for a PM...

I just bought a blaster core. Dude. That rocks that much.

After seeing your youtube, I am trying to get a blaster core. Awsome. just Awsome.

And I just downloaded the plans... THAT is one Awsome Prop. THE E-11 To date. Sorry Bigturc, He gotcha... WOW, Just WOW...

I got it as well...

When my CE gets here I am following in your foot steps man! Looking good!

"bend over mod" Spit my Beer... LOL. I thought that was for the IRS use only! Sucks when you drop something and have to do the unsightly reach to get stuff... I would say yes. Mod the armor to be more freindly. The first time you have to pee... that will make up for the heartache now. The butt plate should be cut anyway, that is how the films have it.

Bummer part is you cant register at Proptopia... I am a member of a few, but got kinda jaded with some answers I got over building stuff. Thanks though Illinois. Cool screen name by the way, I am originaly from Danville...
