[boomshakra's ANH Stunt Build [*RT]]

Looking forward to following your progress on this! I just put in my order with Rob a week ago and the wait is killing me already. How tall are you if you don't mind me asking?

I heard back from them yesterday , I'm on the list! 4 weeks until they get more stock they said, they had to redo some boots and what not so it set them back. doesn't really matter for me as my RT armour won't be ready till later July.......the suspense is literally killing me...seriously .....

I sent them an email on Saturday to check stock, still no word, must be on holidays or backed up...or they don't like the cut of my jib.

I was hoping maybe you would chime in Darth Aloha, thanks for the second opinion and putting me at ease. I was following your RT build thread ( looks fantastic btw ), there is a lot there and will be of great help once my armour arrives ....half a day down and the wait is killing me....I may be soliciting you for some advice once I start my build as I too will be modding some things for more accuracy.... If that is alright with you of course .

 

regards and aloha,

Hmmm. Now I'm in doubt again..... I already put through the order,, I think maybe I will just hope for the best as the rt helmets are supposed to be about 5% bigger from what I understand. I will just hollow out the padding and try that, at worst I just sell it and find one that will work. Anyone out there with an RT dome that would happen to have an idea of what extra space can be gained with padding removal?

 

Ha! Malarky my girlfriend just threw the dark helmet idea at me yesterday. And sadly this may be the only way I could troop!! There isn't a 501st for space balls is there?

Thanks for the help all, good to know that it shouldn't be an issue!!

 

I have an 8 hat size also Lazerbrain, I probably will just have to fiddle with the padding a bit.

 

I can finnally get this thing ordered!!

Hi ,

 

I decided and have been in contact with Rob of Rt-Mod, that his armor seems like a great fit, at 6 foot 3 and 210 pounds I think it's one of the few that would work. My question though is of helmet size, he says it fits up to 24" and I have measured my head and I come in at a Conan O Brien-esque 24.5".... Is this going to be a major issue, can I take padding out to make it a bit bigger? Or will i have to find a bigger helmet, and mix and match helmet and armor??? Just wondering if there are any other larger headed troopers out there to give me a second opinion before I put the order through for my first set of armor....
