Also a great looking kit and closer to what I want to spend, but I'm around 5'10"...

Looks fantastic, but a bit over my range for a 2nd set of armor, that i'm literally going to dremel and make look battle worn. That's why I was asking about a damaged kit. I really don't want to ruin someone's quality hard work.

Please accept my apologies, as I don't in any way mean to offend the purists or any of the armor makers, but:
My first project is to build a clean (hopefully 501st approved) set of tk armor, but I'm also interested in building death trooper armor after that.
So, my post is to inquire, without being a blatant wtb thread, is there any interest in selling damaged armor that could be used for death trooper kit? What could have been some bad cuts or trims could be spot on for a purposely damaged kit.
Just a thought and post to see if I'm not alone in thinking, "one person's mistake could be another's perfection!"...

Here's a pic of me at a rock show in Dallas and a photo of me with the Hanson Brothers from the movie SlapShot on the ice at the AAC in Dallas.

Probably a bit. The bicep/forearm area really gets decreased mobility once you put armor on. That and you get increased armor bite. Also, can you play guitar with gloves on?
I wouldn't say it's impossible. It just won't be easy and I wouldn't recommend jumping around all over the place either. Stormtroopers are like turtles. When they fall down they stay down.
Ha ha! Figured it probably wasn't a good idea... Although, I haven't received my armor yet (it's on order), I have already been asked to officate a Star Wars themed wedding in August in Dallas. That be the limit of my stage work in armor.
I did a wedding two Halloweens ago as The Borg. -
We're a bit like Static-X meets Pantera meets Rammstein meets Disturbed.

Wonder how difficult it is to play guitar on stage in full Stormtrooper armor?

BC RICH!
I have an NT warlock floyd rose,
and a KKV kahler.
Cool! Some of those we got via endorsement... Most we paid for... We're trying to get our endorsement back.

Haha! Thanks! We'll have to work on that...Nice build. Also nice guitar collection, but I notice a serious lack of BC rich warbeast guitars

Good job, but... You put the resin t-tracks on the wrong sides.
Yikes... Thanks for pointing it out... If I didn't have a L and R in my shoes, they'd be on the wrong feet too...

Anti-procrastination Doopy Doos Hasbro Mod post...
1) Started off breaking in my new dremel, hollowing the rail, removing the lower-left T-Track and then using the drill to create the new holes on the barrel. I may have drilled the new holes a bit low and my largest bit wasn't as big as the original holes, but I went ahead with it.
2) Used the dremel to remove the orange tip bit.
3) Scratched off all the unnecessary lettering stuff.
4) Used a small hand saw to cut off the scope
5) Started to use a screwdriver as others had done to remove back of scope, then said, "sod the lot of it" and drilled the daylights out of the back of it. Made it very easy to pop it off.
6) Started gluing bits on. Always good having a surplus of rubber bands.
7) Gluing more bits on.
8) I used a Walgreens pill bottle end (used dremel to trim down) and the popular "roll of tape" bits for the inside of the scope.
9) Comparing unpainted Hasbro Mod to Hyperfirm
10) A regular sized straw will fit over the little LED bulb in the nozzle. I stuck this on here for paint.
11) Hanging up for the paint job in the garage.
12) Drying.
Next up, a full armor build! But first, a photo of our guitar collection at http://www.rivetheadonline.com

Thanks guys! Guess I could be part of the UK garrison too. Although I live in Texas, I'm actually from the UK! Born in Storfold, lived in Uxbridge, then moved to Dallas.

Thanks man! I'm in the Dallas area. I've been searching and searching the forum. Doing my best to get all the info without asking anything that's already been covered. I've already received emails from 4 armor builders, so I'm not too far off!

First post, so I thought I'd make it a good one. I'm eagerly researching armor, weapons and all the like. I've already ordered an E-11 blaster from SlaveFive and ordered the DoopyDoos kit for the Blaster I bought at Toys R Us last night.
Armor is next, but waiting till I make sure the bonus this year is good enough to cover.
I'm a career musician, with a day job as a trial/litigation support specialist during the day.

Last band recorded this, "Imperial Groove":

Definitely a fan of Halloween. I've put together most of my Borg costume (also a Star Trek fan), with the exception of the head bit.
