For premade you can go to either: ---------

If you would be interested in painting boots, i'm using http://www.zappos.com/deer-stags-nolita and will be painting them white with http://www.amazon.com/Angelus-Acrylic-Paints-4oz-White/dp/B00HQ53QA8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1399859555&sr=8-2&keywords=angelus+white+leather+paint and http://www.amazon.com/Tulip-Dimensional-Fabric-Paint-Slick/dp/B00114M278/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399256626&sr=8-1&keywords=white+fabric+paint (be sure to deglaze with fiebings deglazer before painting though)' As for the undersuit, I got this 2 piece setup flat black for just $33. Very good deal, but the top runs a bit small so get a size larger. http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/bcg-8482-men-39-s-long-sleeve-compression-t-shirt/pid-47886?color=Caviar&N=628476043&Ntt=bcg+compression&Ntk=All http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/bcg-153-men-39-s-compression-tight/pid-1038871?color=Black&N=628476046&Ntt=bcg+compression&Ntk=All

So to clarify on the fabric dye, are you applying it straight from the container or putting it on some kind of brush and applying?

I knew I couldn't trust that frog, that's why I avoided him and his overpriced tape and just got some generic painters tape for like 50 cents.

The shirt looks a little redundant, maybe put an imperial cog or 501st emblem or TKID on the front instead.

You should also check out MEPD.net, that is the sand trooper detachment site.

You are such an inspiration to us all. My deglazer has been taking FOREVER to arrive but i'm still hoping to get it by the end of the week. Its coming from Florida, but i've gotten packages from California faster than this. It took 3 days just for them to deliver it to USPS! Anyway, good luck with the elastic and removing your tape, i will be following this thread to the bitter end.

RT-Mod should be a good helmet, I hear the armor is for larger people so they helmet may be a little bigger too.

Lol, that thing is awkward.

Your armor looks fantastic!

I got mine on Zappos.

Was it this http://www.amazon.com/Tulip-Dimensional-Fabric-Paint-Slick/dp/B00114M278/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399256626&sr=8-1&keywords=white+fabric+paint or http://www.amazon.com/Tulip-Fabric-Paint-Matte-Glacier/dp/B00EFIRN44/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1399256626&sr=8-2&keywords=white+fabric+paint ?

Which fabric paint are you going to use?

The animated version (as much as I dislike it), does look considerably better in real life. Grand Zillo did an excellent job with that.

You should have used half of the deglazer and sent the rest to me! I'm super broke right now and I will take spares!

the "fancy suit" part at the end kills me

Update: The tops of these shoes aren't high enough to stay under the shins. I would recommend following the same process but with a more accurate pair. Got these in the mail today, they are slippery as all get out from the plain flat soles on them. You can hear them slide across the carpet when you use them. Otherwise they look nice. Here are some pre-painting shots:

In the end this route is ultimately cheaper, I got free shipping on the boots so that saves me roughly $20 compared to TKboots. The price was about 56, compared to 69 for TKBoots, and I will get them tomorrow, as opposed to 10 weeks from now. Of course if I decide to I can always get TKBoots or similar down the road but these made the most sense to me imo.

Right, that too.

Alright so what I can tell from the CRLs, the differences between ANH and ESB is that different decals and painting are used on the helmets, the shoulder straps are attached differently, the hand plates are different styles, and the ESB holster is full black and slides over the belt rather than being screwed to it.

What are the differences between each style of armor? For example, after I finished an ANH armor set, would I just need to change the helmet and holster for an ESB? What about RotJ? A list of differences for each part if any is most useful

I looked at some Loakes but just about every pair I saw would be over 200 dollars USD.

So am I, these will hopefully look just as good once I'm done. I will be watching your thread of course.

Indeed, he told me 10 weeks until more were in stock.

Either or, I can use some of the nail polish remover around the house if need be. Paint thinner I could get at the local Lowes without having to pay shipping.
