    Hello.  I have received my ANH  armor and am reading so many threads.  Theres a lot here! To sum it up...heres what I have/need?

     

    Have:

    Handguards

    Detonator

    Holster

    Rubber gloves

    Canvas belt

     

    What I need?

    Boots (going with Imperial boots) since TK boots is closed

    Body suit: but i have black spandex pants already which i think would work. I also have a black pull over.....maybe this wont work.  First check sporting stores, then if nothing, order from EastBay. 

    ? Neck seal?  Do I need this????  

    I have a blacula head wrap thing, will that work?  

    Anything else?

    I have 2 sets of Imperial boots, and after countless troops I have had no problems and could not be happier, and these things have been through hell.  With Imperial, I suggest ordering a half size larger than you normally wear, as they run a tiny bit on the small side.

    As for the lower leg armor coming out of place, it's a matter of how you trim the calf (lower leg).  The boots should not affect the bottom of the calf at all.  A common problem some have is that the boot pops out from under the calf, but this can be prevented by not cutting the bottom too narrow or too short.  

    If you should have that problem, there are a few ways to fix it.  Some add Velcro to the bottom of the inside of the calf and at the top of the boots, or you can make stirrup style setups (easy to do).  With all the knowledge here at the FISD, we can help you fix any problems you may experience... all ya' gotta do is ask and we have your back.

    Im looking for boots.  I want to make sure of the site before ordering.  www.imperialboots.com   Thanks!

    I am already approved as an IC and a Jedi.  I am very interested in doing a white armor TK and after reading about the different armor (ABS or HIPS) I'm confused as to which one would be great for a beginner. 

    I'm 5'7 and a half". Female. Broad shoulders.  155lbs. I don't have any cutting tools or a work shop of any kind.  I do wish to troop at least twice a month.  

    Recommended ABS or HIPS?   Trimmed or untrimmed? 

    Help?  Thoughts? Comments?

    Thanks much.

    Hello TK's,

     

    I am Darth Katz from the West Side of Michigan. I currently am working on a Vader suit (hence the "Darth" title) for the past 2 years and find it taking much longer than normal. In the meantime, I would like to do a TK while the Vader suit continues on due to height problems and other such hassles. I figure a TK would be complimentary to my upcoming Vader suit..and I could troop in both.

     

    I have been volunteering with my garrison, (Great Lakes Garrison (GLG)) for the past 2 years and have enjoyed doing various mission tasks. I got word from a GLG member recommending that I do a ATA or AP style armor due to my size of 5'7". I am not sure what this means so if anyone can explain that would be great. I don't know if the TK's are the same as the Vader's as far as which movie version....so if I were to pick a movie version it would be the same as my Vader suit- ROTJ. NOW, my first question is, is this a difficult version to do? (I do not have much in the tools department-just a tool box of : a hammer, wrench, phillips screwdrivers, nails, and some plyers).

    Thanks very much for helping a newbie.

    :peace:
