Wow this is such a great thread! I really enjoyed reading all of it. Your armor came out looking great! I used WTF for my boys armor and yours looks so much more comfortable. Great job.

I am loving this thread!!!!! Keep it coming !

So freaking awesomr !!!!! I may need to build one now.

Looks fantastic.

Looks great.

Awesome looking armor.

Awesome pics bro !!!!

This is so awesome. I cant wait to see more.

I am 6'4" and can tell you that the RT Mod crotch and back pieces are a bit longer than other makers so even if you can't get them to butt up you can still cover the gap with your belt. I believe I had at least an inch of material on both of these pieces that I considered trimming but went a head and just redid the strapping. I believe the RT will fit you and look better than AM. Check with Darth Aloha as well he is an inch taller than me and sports the same armor.

Yes listen to the advice from everyone here. I ended up accidentally melting my rivets through my helmet, It was an easy fix with a washer and the screws. So if it does happen you will still be ok.

I went through hell getting the paint to stick to mine. I ended up buying some off eBay, similar to what Vader Dave sells. I sanded then primed with auto primer, and painted several light coats spaced out over several days. My buttons still flaked off in spots in just a few test fittings but I am no longer concerned with it and tell my self it adds to the authenticity.

I used regular kitchen scissors with great success.

Thanks for the warning.

We never call erasers just rubber, but do call them rubber erasers from time to time.

Paint them black.

Wow that looks great.

Great picture !

You can find a lens at Radio Shack. They have a set of three magnifying lenses for about $10 that will fit in the scope housing fairly well.

Looks like you have the project lined out.

Glad to see you are still here on the FISD. Can't wait to follow your progress.

Hey Aaron, I too have a huge head and the RT was tight on me so I removed the padding and went with just a small piece of foam in the top of my bucket. I still have too turn my lid sideways to get it on and off but without all the extra padding I have plenty of room for electronics.

The helmet looks better than an FX bucket.

Getting the white straps correct from the chest to back was pretty difficult for me. I ended redoing it 3 times and found out to make them longer than what you think they need to be. You don't want a straight bridge of elastic going straight across from chest to back because this will bring the shoulder bridges up higher than what you want. You can fit the pieces on you by your self with a bit of creativity. I placed the back piece up against my back then backed up to a wall to hold it in place then I held the chest with one hand and applied tape with my free hand.

The hand painting on the lid looks great, your drop boxes may be a tad too low, and the thigh ammo belt is too high, but I am no expert.

Great job on the holsters. I made my own too and it was not difficult at all.
