Rob, any progress? I've been looking for some realism to put into the helmet I order from you, this might just be it!

So a week or so ago I was scouting the web for different stuff and came across a set of gear for the inside of the helmet. This was basically the mouthpiece, tubing and so on, really nicely painted and make the helmet interior look like it was actually functional inside as well. Now I can't find it anymore, has anyone got information on these type of things?

Oh man, a padawan in the belly of a trooper (or troopers wife as it were), what would the emperor say... Congrats on the upcoming package, and much love and luck for a happy healthy baby!

Looks good, but I think the second button from the top could use some cleaning up on the edges, it seems a little wiggly there.

If only it were screen accurate....

Thanks Ben! It's funny when the line is "Aren't you a little big for a stormtrooper?" since in the movie it's the other way around! Hey, if Luke can be small, why can't we be big.. Maybe we make instead of Hero or Stunt, but Juggernaut style.

Hope your pockets are deep... http://sterlingl2a3.com/

Old topic, but I've put my 2c in. I'd even be willing to put down a pre-order payment to get them going and I told them so.

From the looks and measurements of the RT-Mod suit, it should fix this problem with the length of the legs quite nicely, I think I have settled on RT, just a few details to look at. I thought about vader, but he is one thats kinda hard to pull off, imagine showing up at a show as Vader....and someone else does as well.... at least as a trooper, there can be multiples!

Hey troopers, I'm looking for other seriously tall troopers like me who have put together or bought a suit and looking for their experiences and how they overcame this short world of ours. I've looked at RT-Mod and it seems like a suit that will fit great with the longer and wider pieces but am looking for some first hand accounts from people that are over 6'4" and have completed their armor so that it doesn't look like they are trying to fit into their kids armor.

I did similar, I got 2 sets. One top.bottom normal weight for warm/normal days and one cold weather set for cold days. Since I'm sure I will use these for more then just trooping, it's a god investment.

Now that I have found a site dedicated to trooping and actually nicely run like this place, I'm sure to be coming here for my parts. As it is right now, it's all about waiting for all the current parts to come in and sort the good from the bad.

I bought the following: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370626563001&ssPageName=ADME:B:BCA:US:3160 for $75 It looks fairly accurate and considering the hasbro kits and so on were 75+, I figured I couldn't go wrong with this. comments?

They still have their sale on, you can get the normal compression top/bottom for 29.99 for the pair with free shipping. Eastbay is great because they will pay for return shipping and ship you a replacement right away if they don't fit. So it's hassle free if they don't fit.

never mind, I did some more reading and got the information I needed, thanks!

I went to eastbay and found some products but am not sure about them, they are polyester and spandex, and look shiny as well. Can anyone who has bought form them or another company give me a link to the right product? I just want to get it right this time instead of trial and error.

I'm going to check into returning the suit and going eastbay, thanks al!

Matt, the measurements would be great! Thanks.

I did email with tkboots.com, he says they don't have enough money form the boots to get outsize molds, but they are so backed up with orders, how can they not be swimming in money! I can understand not wanting to get an outsize mold though, since it's expenditure with not much request for that size. I found a pair of chelsea boots in white, but they are size 14-15, so questionable if they would actually fit or not...

Yeah, for sure. I won't tout 501st approved and so on, I'll make sure people know what they are getting into.

Thanks for the tip, I will see what I can find.

Payment was via paypal, so I'm always covered should I want to pull back the auction within 90 days. I've yet to get any tracking 3 weeks later. I'm sure it will get here, just when will it get here is the thing.... Honestly I'm not to worried about it, the price I got it at, they go for a lot more generally so reselling shouldn't be a problem, maybe I'll make a little and be closer to my RT suit.

Oh god, bathroom.... never even crossed my mind...

Excellent tip, thank you for bringing this to my attention, I will keep on the lookout for this type of color bleeding out.

I did notice the differences in details on the photos, wary... but at that price, I watched auctions for about a week and got the cheapest one $160, but with shipping $115, so so together $275 not bad if it lasts a few trips around the block before I can resell it. I checked his reviews and it's rated pretty good for the suits he has sold, so yeah, I hope I get it and it doesn't look like a childs suit on me.I think the gaps in the armor will be pretty big.
