Nice too meet you, when assembling your armor remember to take your time have patience and have fun with it.

[Do you believe this was screen used?]

Its funny if it was screen used ( has a made up name in it ) you think their would be some kind of padding or a way to keep it on the guys head.

[paint problem]

Climate can also effect paint in many different ways.

[Helmet 501st approved?]

I may just buy it, just too destroy it, and never see this sad abomination ever again. But this means ill have too give up money for it. hmmmmmmmmm choices choices.

Hey Ben,

 

The Rubies armor was made more in the style of the ROTJ armor and if you are going to try and mod it, you are going to have a lot of work to do o get it to the ANH style. The Rubies armor has a trim around certain areas of it and to get it to look like ANH you will have to sand down the trim molding that the suit has, to get it like the ANH. This means you will have to paint the suit, get new hand plates, helmet, etc.

 

My suggestion is keep the suit or sell it and possibly (if your budget is tight) look into getting an ATA or maybe an AM kit. In the long run you are going to spend the same amount of money trying to mod the Rubies to get it up to snuff.

 

Here are some of the links to some people who have already modified the Rubies, so you can kind of see what you are going to have to go through:

Ok where can i get these sets and whats the difference between ata am or fx. Sorry im just new too this.

[I need help and mod ideas for my Armor ! *]

Hi Ben, well for starters you're going to need a completely new helmet. The Rubies helmet is not 501st approved.

 

Ok what can you suggest. I'm thinking about buying an Fx set of armor and just using pieces i need. Is the fx helmet approved?

[I need help and mod ideas for my Armor ! *]
