Just remember the simple things: 1) put on neck seal first with undersuit 2) thighs should go on before everything else 3) then boots 4) shins 5) the rest *** DON'T FORGET TO SNAP THE COD STRAP ***

Cup holders for the win!

Haha... I'm afraid the GML might go postal on me if I asked.

I understand mate. And to be fair, there were two types of zombies in the book. Those that caught the airborne virus, and those who were attacked, eaten and killed... As I said above, and I don't mean to argue or try to cause a stir up or whatnot, but I am going to enjoy the gory version this Halloween and then consider what I can do to possibly remove the extra blood. I guess the issue then, would be the exposed guts. I bought prosthetics from Halloween and special effects shops. I love the look. Not sure there's a way to clean that up.

As to the CRL, all of my "wet" appearing blood is actually mostly cut armor with protruding prosthetic wounds. ex. chest, belt, face, arms, legs. The rest are dremel scratches with black paint, touched up with a line of scabbed "dried" blood. - It's Ben Nye Fresh Scab. Maybe I should not have used my iPhone to take pics? I understand the CRL. I have read it. BUT, the author, in my humble opinion, had a different idea in mind. See quote above from author. I'm a horror movie and zombie fanatic. I have my clean TK (expert) and I will consider cleaning my Death Trooper (which I can't really even imagine I will ever be sending anyone at Star Garrison a "can I wear my DT to a function?" anyway) as requested for approval. Respectfully, I completely disagree with the CRL. You can also read the quotes from the book above. To me, the CRL reads like, "Kill your TK, but don't really kill him. Just make him look cracked and old." Beyond that, getting a response like this: "I personally hate the idea of this costume and feel it only has a place at AllCon or DragonCon as a freakshow item. I'd leave any event where this costume shows up and children are present. But my opinion is not relevant, it's an LMO approval costume anyway, so the two LMO's will judge and approve it. I'll just be acting as the go-between." - is unacceptable... Respectfully, TK9727

Thanks man! I am most likely going to install my dual fan from you in this bucket as well!

Modified the arms by request and have raised the thighs since this photo - the wife and I attended a Halloween shindig last weekend. Will run around downtown Dallas in this, this weekend and am wearing it to Rob Zombie/Manson on Halloween.

Well, your was more thorough with the photo! : )

If you'd rather follow videos, Mike does a great job on these: http://trooperbay.com/videos/ Just scroll down to: TK-4510′s TE2 Helmet Build – Part 1 and keep watching...

Panda's threads are second to none. There may be others, but this should be a good starting point: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/14806-how-to-assembling-ata-abs-helmet-1/

Plastic can crack under pressure. Looks pretty though! Nylon has been my preferred method and it has worked very well for me!

I only use elastic on parts that I want or don't mind flexing, like the shoulder bells strap that connects under your shoulder (armor) straps. Everywhere else I used webbing, because it keeps the connections from stretching. - Places like thighs, where I didn't want the thigh armor to bounce up and down like a yoyo when I walked...

Mine both fit fine... ---------

No one has lived to tell. The costume is just that scary!

Thanks mate!

Not this one?

Page: 163 its cowling and visual sensors were covered with blood 187 Blood gushed out of his side 217 coughing and puking blood into their masks 229 skidding backward in the splattered reservoir of blood 242 encrusted with dried blood and mucus 306 eating until there was nothing left but blood that might be lapped up from the cold durasteel floors 304 ...he saw that they were dripping with blood 394 ...Blood was spurting recklessly from the wound in his leg 493 bloodstained stormtrooper helmet 494 blood caked all around the mouthpiece 648 it was busily slurping his blood, ripping huge gobbets of his flesh

You can see that I have glued one side of the thighs and lower legs, but have used velcro on the other. I have done that because the robe/cloak will cover the back sides and you won't be able to see it, plus if I ever decide to sell it, it's still at the original size and will fit anyone...

The chest piece is good, side to side. I do think that the acolyte may have more between the chest and ab piece. Maybe that's part of the undersuit? I don't know. Here's some pics I quickly took this morning, before heading out the door:
