The under suit goes first? Man, I knew I was making it harder than it should have been.

Will the loctite work on the latex hand guards and a velcro strap? I don't have rubber gloves and prefer to use my flight gloves.

I agree, I don't like the idea. I don't have the money to buy everything at once which means the shipping would kill me to buy small things here and there. I think things are great as they are. I always go to Trooperbay first and part of that reason is reasonable shipping.

That is a Rubies Scout helmet. Believe it or not, that is the officially sanctioned helmet. Yeah...

Either sew the end over or use a lighter to melt the end.

As if there wasn't enough proof already that Star Wars fans are cooler than trekkies. Smh.

Done. And I took some of the length off the holster itself, as well.

This holster was cleared before so I am at a bit of a loss. I'm not whining by any means but I'm not sure what you mean by thinning the retaining strap? Do you mean shortening the strap? It fits rather well around the blaster when holstered. The rest of the items are easy enough to take care of. I will have to find someone to rephotograph me but the fixes are easy.

I'll do what I can.

Yeah, My TE2 is a bit larger and already had the padding set up. I am planning on doing a lot of electronic work inside so depending on how it fits inside, I may use the AP yet.

Roger that. I have the paint already.

Awesome! Thank you.

No worries about the blade, just add some fur and leather to your E-11. Viking style!

At least you made the credits. "Stormtrooper # 2," can be your legacy.

The "secret safe" they are talking about is for hiding drugs. I used to run into this all the time in narcotics. They hide drugs in household containers in case they get robbed or raided. On the other hand, it's great for hiding crack and meth from people who don't know what to look for. If you did hide something in your TD, how would you get to it? By the time you figured out how to get into it, remove a flask and then try to screw the lid back on, you could go get a bottle of water and drink it without unnecessary twisting and turning.

It would be pretty awesome if it was a coincidence and the Stormtrooper actually detered a crime because of his noticeable presence. Stormtroopers for every mall, I say! Please keep us updated.

People don't care if your armor is screen accurate, for the most part, they can't tell the difference. This is a prime example. Here's our guy standing by himself because he's professional and the clown getting all the attention.

There is a continuing series of books beginning from the end of ROTJ going well into 50 years into the future. I believe the first book after ROTJ is The Truce at Bakura. There are timelines online that can get you started. There are even several books that take place in between ANH and ROTJ. I have read probably over a hundred and am hooked. Just take it one book at a time and you will have years of reading material.

Not trying to be a jerk or anything here but why would sink all this money into something and then be adamant about not taking the advice of those who are trying to help you do things correctly? You have actually got command staff and administrators giving you advice, that anyone can see is correct, and tell them that you aren't going to do it? Use some sense man, these guys know what they are talking about. If they say it isn't right, It is not right, period.

Hi. I wish you luck looking into the military. I would point out that no one in the military can truly be called a non combatant. That is why they are called the armed forces. Even in the medical field, especially in the Navy, you may very well find yourself on the front lines with a combat unit. Your ethics should be at the forefront of any decision you make. If you are really a pacifist, you may want to look into another option besides the military. If you really do want to serve your country, there are many other forms in which to serve. Now, if you wish to serve in the military, and don't necessarily wish to serve in a front line or combat role, then the Coast Guard is probably your best bet. They are tasked with guarding the coast lines of our country as well as those around the world. In their ranks are some of the bravest and toughest men I have met. Whatever you decide, I would recommend thinking long and hard about your feelings on pacifism and the military before making a commitment. Even if you are not holding a weapon, the job you do, is often times affecting someone who is. Good luck.
