  1. Hi Ron. Welcome to armor building. I am in Huntington Woods. I would be happy to help. I’ll send you a PM. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. These upgrades are awesome. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to use video display glasses and a connected camera to give full vision while wearing a stormtrooper helmet.
  3. Thanks for all the comments. I have redone most of the strapping and added snaps and a garter for thighs. Attached biceps to the shoulders to bring them up. I still plan to close side gap and go for EIB. Here are some new photos including some at my first two troops.

  4. The armor looks AMAZING!! Great job to everyone who participated and helped to make this little girls dream a reality. I am proud to be a member of the FISD and 501st.
  5. I just read this entire post and it really bothered me that someone could get away with lying about his product and no one on eBay has any idea. I have a pair of CFO mic tips in my AP lid and they are great. Then I realized that there may be something we could all do to make this guy go away. It's a little nuts and we would help the recaster in the short term. What if 50-100 of us bought something from his eBay site and then told the truth in our negative feedback. Just a thought, probably wouldn't work but I'd do it if we got a big enough group to support one of our own.
  6. I recently added nylon snap plates to my armor. Soldering iron once hot works like a charm. As many other people have already stated, e-6000 for glue. They conform very well to curves in armor and seem very secure. They have held up for 3 troops and numerous fittings without a problem. Time will tell if they hold up for the long haul.
  7. What a great story. It would be my pleasure to help. PP on its way.
  8. TK boots rock! Well worth the wait even if longer than 3 weeks.
  9. Congrats to a fellow 5 digit TK. I like your Avatar photo with the kid in the mask. I have a similar one with my daughter.
  10. Aha! Thanks. I was in the right forum and thought it was only for 501st access. Guess I didn't read far enough down the page.
  11. Now that I'm approved, how do I get my group updated to StormTrooper from member? Thanks.
  12. I appreciate all of the comments and take no offense from criticism. Yes. It is true that the armor was ordered to fit me but I never expected it to be perfect out of the box. I will happily listen to comments and decide how I want to proceed. Thank you all for your input.
