it says its assembled yet theres 2 different helmets, and that might not even be the exact armor youre getting. best to tell your buddy to get on the uk garrison forum and see if any troopers are selling their old suits, all set and done.

Troopermaster is the go to guy for high quality uk suits

Terry you're still alive!

The armor is the same in all 3, all recast outdated fx. the first one has a helmet that is derived from the movies, the second helmet is just weird looking in the eyes. Through time you'll develop the keen eyes the rest of us have and be able to see it to. The third listing has a helmet that came with that armor, it's huge and hugely inaccurate. The chests on all 3 are big as well as they were made for people over 6 foot tall.

That's what i'm talkin bout!
the last 2 look like crap though -
He said it's just for dress up... some of you guys take this ish way too seriously. Before jumping on the no-ebay train how about being helpful and simply answering the question at hand.
-
The first one.

I lol'd 3 times cuz it's not the same armor, it's fiberglass, and it's recast fx. That's like recasting a rubies out of paper maché and calling it screen used! What do we do about these breach of image use?

Make the best of what you got while you wait for the new digs!

Hence why I said "unless you're doing it like TM does"
and it's the climate. We hardly have humidity here! -
you dont HAVE to do things like the 70's lol, the screen suits werent made to last. we're better than that and we used snaps like a boss! and dry rot is best explained like when your underwear waistband doesnt stretch anymore cuz of all of dryer cycles.

E6 is like 3-4 bucks at Walmart. That 2oz tube lasted my whole build. I have a snap on the tops of the thighs and 2in wide black elastic (also at wm, 3 feet for $1.44 in the sewing section) that connects to snaps I've put in a regular belt I wear under the armor to hold the thighs up. I've trooped 3 times and already know my thighs will have to be changed out after I get to about 15. A boba fett in my garrison finished his build earlier this year and already had some areas dry rot, so the stretching isn't the only factor that effects elastic.
I suggest always use snaps where you'll have elastic, unless your using those screen accurate metal loop things on the torso that TM does. I don't understand those, I just did my armor to be durable, dependable, and long lasting.

For glue it's E6 all the way. It's clear so it'll appear white, but you shouldn't be seeing any excess glue at all. Just sand the contact areas well enough.
And for snaps I make sure to mash the hell out of them so they don't come off the snap plates, then ill slightly tap or dent the male part tops so they don't fail during a troop. It makes them harder to snap together, but it stops them from unpopping so easily too.
The elastic will last a few dozen troops or so depending on what's being stretched all the time like biceps not so much but thighs all the time. The cap part is closest to your body so when to change elastic you'll need to make new caps, so get a hundred pack of line 24 off ebay.

Maybe search the photo in google image search, just drag it in the search bar.

Borderlands 2 and GTA online for xbox Trooper45

all his helmets start from pep eric lol http://www.therpf.com/f24/halo-4-master-chief-wip-160919/
-
yeah his helmets are always a little small
-
yknow why luke said he cant see a thing in the helmet? the bubble lenses distort your vision, its like looking through a mtn dew bottle
-
That must be the same echo I bought a tk helmet from. I wondered if he ever finished his MC

I was the shadowtrooper both days, everyone just loved the black armor. You'll be in the dune sea garrison "jundland wastes squad" with me. First step is to pick a costume, then do a buttload of research. It's an expensive, time consuming hobby. Feel free to pm me if you have questions

Did you go to Tucson comic con?

It will if it's on a high setting, might warp a little with thin hips buckets. There are hot glue guns with low temp settings. For permanent applications, 2 part general epoxy works without heating up. That's how I did my lenses and screen. For the foam liner I just used a bit of e6000 and had no problems. I'd suggest just get a better adhesive backed Velcro.

thats what i do. add in the 4% and send as goods. that way for a little extra on your part, you can cover your butt if something happens and the seller still gets the agreed upon amount.
