Thanks Vern! That was awesome!

That raised molded detail on the Stormtroopers right thigh armor..... holster for the new blasters?

Thanks Steve. Very excited to join the ranks of the Expert Infantry. I really appreciate your suggestions also, Centurion is a goal of mine. You are right, the armor is not very comfortable to wear at the moment, the chest being the biggest problem, followed by shoulder bells. I didn't trim the sides of the ab, or kidney plate at all. If I did I would have had to use shims to close the gap. (there is an expensive/expansive beer gut under there filling up all that space ) "Streamlining' this area as you suggested would involve me getting my butt up on the treadmill. Trimming all the return edges I left for the brackets could give me more room in there. If I switch to a snap plate and strap system instead of the brackets, what in the minimum return edge I should leave? Do you think adding another snap in the center of the belt to attach to the ab plate would help keep it up higher? I will lenghten the strap from back plate to chest plate also to see of that helps lower the chest. Once I get the chest in the right position, I'll work on the shoulder bells. Bicep hooks I may leave for the Han look, but do away with their functionality, what is everyones opinion? Keep the suggestions comming. Thanks again Pete

When you do, could you post your feedback in this thread. I would be interested in hearing multiple opinions on these mic's. Sent from my iTricorder using Tapatalk

Could you list the details that distinguish this as a "Han" Hero Helmet? I notice the brow sits higher, and the Hovi mic tips are not as wonky as Luke's. Is there something else I'm missing. Tube stripes maybe? Looks really nice by the way. Sent from my iTricorder using Tapatalk

I use an orange ear plug. The kind you roll in your fingers before inserting in your ear, then it expands. Similar to this one http://www.amazon.com/Foam-Plugs-Without-Cord-Orange/dp/B0028M8V04/ref=sr_1_117?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1406684742&sr=1-117&keywords=orange+ear+plugs I picked up a few from work. You don't have to glue it in place, which I like, and it can be easily removed and replaced. The con/event will most likely want to check your weapon anyway.
