I can't do photos right now, but I use a 45 gallon wheeled tote from lowes. I had been using a 50 gallon Rubbermaid tote from Walmart with a tiny set of small built in wheels, but the wheels were way to small and there was no handles to speak of. The lowes one has got I think 5 inch wheels. And nice big front and back handles through the lid, and 4 latches (or flip up locks) around the lid. Inside I start by flipping my ab section over and putting it it (ab,butt,and belt) inside that I put my chest and back, inside that go my shoulders. Next to all the go my theighs inside those go my calfs inside those go my forearms. (still filling me? I'm almost done) that leaves enough room in my tote for my helmet (wrapped in a blanket) inside my helmet is my hand plates and gloves, also my speaker box and mic. Under my helmet on either side of the box are my boots. Then on top I can still fit my pauldron, blaster w/holster, electrobinoculars, emergency repair kit, kilt (for ktb) extra socks, my battle skirt/jacket, my tk light saber, and my under suits (I carry 2 cause I can get stuck at some cold troops). The only thing that doesnt fit right now is my 8' dewback prod, but that splits in half and I strap it to the top. That was a mouthful, I hope that helped a little. If I can when I get to my computer I will try and upload some pics of my tote. Get 45 gallon or bigger, and tall not short and long.

I'd love it, juggertrooper! It's funny when a trooper is taller then vader I've got the sandtrooper which helps, cause you get to carry huge guns that make you seem small, but I do hear the "to tall" line a few times per troop it seems.

Tell ya what, I'm 6'5" and when I first started I was told I "was too big to be a stormtrooper" (a line which I hear a lot) so I did a sandtrooper armor. I bought an fx armor kit from a friend who was moving and leaving the 501st. I had to change the fittings around and add a few shims here and there(thighs and biceps) I love it, the fx helmet looks best an a big guy proportionally, and I get the pauldron. All I can say is keep trooping
