  1. I was there too not that long ago, I wanted a kit that would just show up that I could slap on instantly be a Stormtrooper. Then after lots of reading here and lurking on build tutorials I realized that while it may look daunting at first once you get ethe armor and make the first few cuts everything seems to start to flow. Just ask questions if you are unsure and always supply pictures when asking. So far I'm not doing too badly just by using the build tutorials and the search button. Love that search button. Also the pride when your done. I'm in the test fitting of my ATA armor right now. So exciting. Just don't get overwhelmed.

  2. I was looking for pictures like this a few days ago. They look really good. I'm just into trimming my ATA kit. Will be nice to compare to what you have done. Personally I left a little more of a return edge on mine because I'm a skinny bugger and will probably have to use some foam inside my arms so I don't look like an anorexic trooper. Yours looks awesome though.

  3. So, with our nasty gun laws what are the regulations for carrying a replica "blaster" that has never been a real firearm? I know a while back it was damn near impossible to get even airsoft rifles shipped past our border, but I thought that the laws had relaxed a little, seeing as I have seen very realistic airsoft rifles come through lately.

     

    Advice?

  4. Ooh, nice one! I'm lucky as I am forced to work out about 5 times a week. Go Canadian Forces!

     

     

    I PM'd the contact for TM, will be patient as I understand he's a busy guy. Will give him a week and then bug him some more. I am led to understand that the TM armor is a little more money, but worth it. I'll just have to see how much I can scrounge away for the next year.

  5. Thanks for all the info, gives me more of an idea what to start hunting for once the funds start to get to a level where it is possible. Probably going to end up going for a TM or an AP. Just glad that I decided to ask the experts before I jumped into the first build.

     

    Thanks again!

     

    Any more info that people want to add or comments feel free to post some more. I am in a believer that any info is good.

  6. Good evening all, I am 5 foot 11 inches tall and weigh 155 pounds. I am curious what other people out there around my size use for armor. I have an RT-MOD helmet and will probably end up getting the armor from RT-MOD as well. Figured I'd ask the experts. Going to be a while before I can make the plunge as I have to save up for a while so I have lots of time for lots of research.

     

    Any and all feedback would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks!

  7. Haven't got a "uniform" yet but am doing the research and seeing what will work. Right now am looking into an RT-MOD. I'll be visiting the tutorial forum quite often as this will be my first set of armor. Haven't got any questions yet but I'm sure I'll be back with a few when I get started.
