  2. Thin RS Lids, Is This Normal?

    in Hard Armor (General Discussion)

    Yes It does Look good. I am all for durability as well, I think i may be over reacting a bit, so ,I will post some pics later of the kit installed.

     

    Oh, Yeah By The Way... I was approved into the legion the other day...YAYYY :D   CT20421...yeah baby....

     

    I know the feeling with over reacting. There's a sense of anticipation and the hype around the maker/vendor, and then if you see any sort of imperfection, you feel let down.

    It's happened to me as well.

     

    Wait am I talking about a prop builder or the prequels? ;)

     

    Anyway congrats on the approval! Wear it proudly and kick butt!

  3. Thin RS Lids, Is This Normal?

    I've seen other troopers with complete and WIP RS and I've noticed it can be thin in places. You could always try to reinforce it to combat potential damage.

     

    My AP is ABS and has taken a couple cracks (one from sitting on a merry go round) and I've been able to patch it back up.

     

    To me, RS just looks so freaking good. The RS next to your other helmet is hands down the winner by sight. At least to me.

    Hmm I don't recall a troop request for something like that (and I live in Burbank area) but who knows. I know some organizations have reached out to troopers directly before and tried to go around SCG command so it could happen.

     

    I've only been around a little over a year though, so if it happened before my time and this is just a rerun then there's that too.

     

    I can ask around the local crew.

    Had a fun time with TK-10427 attending Long Beach ComicCon this weekend and Saturday we went as Daft Troopers. Another SCG member and myself have been working on the helmets and gloves for the past three months. We also had a Daft Punk mix on our Aker speakers split mono L/R between us and synced.

     

    We documented quite a bit of the builds and will probably slap a video together and post whenever we finally get some sleep.

     

    The dusk photos are by Mark Edwards and taken in front of the convention center.

     

    A guitar and keytar were most definitely harmed in the creation of this mash up.

    Welcome, Sean! 

     

    There are many types of people on this journey... I also did mine with a kid in tow, so to speak. Many guys seem to jump in moments before their wives give birth haha. Don't worry, it's going to be the most fun you've ever had!

     

    QFT!!!!

     

    I bought my first armor when the Mrs was about 3 months pregnant. Haven't looked back!

    I think most people will agree that it's more about finding the best armor that fits your body type. Both RS and TM are very well respected armor, so I would ask specifics to both makers about how they think their armor will size up on you. 

     

    I would also research on FISD for build threads to find people with similar body builds to your own to see what they went with and how they put it together.

     

    I have no experience with originalstormtrooper.com, but at a glance I am very wary. I'm sure UKG troopers can offer up their thoughts.

     

    Good luck with it. You're definitely on the right path to ask questions first before opening up your wallet. :duim:
