I'm working on EIB status, I swear it!

In the For Sale section there has been people doing runs of speakers, you could PM them to see about there supplier.

Don't forget Museum Replicas is working on armored costumes as well. Supposedly they have found ANH suits buried in the LFL archives.

So, we have another celebrity in ANH.. first it was Mr. NoStripes, now it's #8. Who else do we have?

When did you see Star Wars in the theater for the first time and where? Too young for the original theatrical release. Saw it in theaters for the first time during the 1997 rerelease. However, I did catch the movie on tape when I was about 5 or so, been hooked ever since. What is your favorite Star Wars movie? Not sure, I pretty much love them all, at the moment it's a toss up between ANH and ROTS What is your least favorite Star Wars movie? Again, I love them all, least favorite at the moment would be between ROTJ and TPM What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? My wife, my family, my friends What turns you off? Liars, can't stand people who lie What is your favorite curse word? F*** it's just so useful What Star Wars Character do you love? Of course, I love the troopers, but main characters would be Obi-Wan or Anakin What Star Wars Character do you hate? The Podracers, they were just weird How did you first find out about your home garrison? Some online searches, but met the troopers in person at a con in 2007 What Costume other than your own would you like to attempt? One of these days I'll start working on that Clone Wars Obi-Wan I've been talking about for months, and get an EIB trooper suit made up. What Costume would you not like to do? C-3PO, that just looks painful What would you like to hear George Lucas say when you arrive at the LucasFilm Gates? This is your scene, you'll be the 3rd trooper from the left

Other than free food and water at the event, best I can say is I got a free Jeremy Bulloch autograph when we trooped his signing. I had money ready and everything and he just never charged us.

Even without taking measurements, I'm pretty sure a standard AP lid wont fit. Now, that's not to say you wont be able to do it at all. You could try to adjust the sizing a bit during the construction, you do have some leeway. But, I think you would probably have the best luck looking into an RT-Mod oversized or Kev's ANH, which are slightly larger in sizing than AP (which tends to be the smallest), and aren't so out of proportion like the FX lid.

I haven't seen any other way but to buy the whole big roll. Such a waste, you need to buy 6 ft, so you can use 6 inches. For a slight alternative, I didn't really like how the window screening looked or felt on my nose, so I found some black lace like fabric. Took about 4 layers to make it so the camera flash couldn't see my face. It was a bit easier to work with, found in smaller amounts, and some simple hot glueing is all it took to install.

Wow, sorry man, feel better and get a nice piece of leather to bite down on.

Welcome! You've definitely found the place to be for all things Stormtrooper

I'm thinking about painting my armor, and I'm aiming for EIB Standards. Currently, I have an ANH stunt setup, and I was going to match the paint scheme from the game, not from the figures. It seems to only make sense that I would have an ANH style blaster as well. To think about this from an in-universe way, the story takes place prior to ANH, so it seems to only make sense that ANH details would be there. I would say for ease of simplicity, the blaster should match which armor setup you are using. If you are modifiying an ANH stunt, you should have an ANH, and the same for ROTJ style. In the game it's nearly impossible to tell what type of blaster they are using.

Per EIB Standards

I believe the site you are looking for is this one -----

Is an E-11 or any other weapon required for EIB standard for the TK Commander? If so, which version would it be?

Your situation sounds pretty similar to mine Dargas, you seem about my size too. I'm trying to go over options for making my FX more accurate, and I haven't had the best luck with painting. I'm thinking RT-Mod for my next kit and my FX is probably going to be a TK-Commander or TD.

low temp hot glue worked for me. Only had it fail once, and some duct tape fixed that problem

I love how many members we have, how many posts we have and the very small number of problems. We are quite the community.

..about like this...

We are the only costume (that I know of at least) that gets better the more of us there are, and the more of us that look alike. ..and of course... We rock!

Following up on my post from earlier about a Garrison mate who has prescription lenses in his bucket. At the last trooping event, I saw inside his bucket. It looked like he had the normal lenses for his bucket, and then attached to them were his prescription lenses. Personally, I'd say that you should talk to your local Garrison, meet up with them at an event and see if you can try on some helmets to get an idea on sizing. It could possibly make a difference in which option you pursue.

I'm a fellow melon-head-glasses-wearing trooper. Right now, I'm able to wear my glasses under my FX. However, with any of the more accurate sized helmets, I'm not able to. A couple of options are open to you. You can go ahead with an FX helmet and wear your glasses underneath. You can check into RT-Mod, or Kev about the over-sized but more accurate helmets they make. A trooper in my garrison actually went to an eye doctor about getting his lenses in the helmet made to his prescription. It has seemed to work for him, but he said the cost was comparable to a normal set of lenses for glasses. Not exactly the cheapest option there. Lastly, can you do contacts?

I love my chucks, wont wear anything else. If you find any that match your armor, lemme know

Off to a good start. Contact John Danter on here about ears for your MRCE. Chuck Taylor's really are the most comfortable shoes when you aren't wearing your TK boots.

I've let my armor get naturally scuffed. I like it a lot better than the perfect shiny look. Almost nothing in the movies is perfect and shiny, everything is a little dirty and used looking. Between my boots and the lousy paintjob on my blaster, i've got all sorts of black scuff marks on my armor. Especially on my left forearm where it rubs against the butt of the blaster.

I don't buy it, there are just so many things wrong with that armor. Even on the rushed schedule that the filming of the OT was done at, it wouldn't look that bad. I can't seem to find anything on the armor that is done right, except for the fact that it is white.
