    Thanks guys - got the helmet sorted first (armour to follow at some point - playing the long game with the other half. ;)), but couldn't resist having some fun with it straight away. :)

     

     

    For those of a nervous disposition, don't worry...I was only pretending to drive my car! :D

  3. ABS or PVC?

    I don't mind the wait for them to come back to me. I know how busy they are and that's for a reason. :) If you want the best, you have to wait.

     

    I'm going to go for PVC. Starting with helmet. Full armour to follow once I've squirrelled away enough pocket money. Ha ha. Joking aside, I am funding this with gig money from a pub band - makes it easier to get approval from the wife. (Apparently its ISA time. Bloody sensible women...) :)

     

     

  8. ABS or PVC?

    Sorry for such a simple question, but the right decision now, is quite important.

     

    As the title says, should I go for ABS or PVC armour/helmet? Which is the most popular?

     

    I believe I understand the differences at a basic level - original vs idealised - but I want my helmet and armour to be on display when not in use, so I want what looks good, too.

     

    All opinions welcome.

     

    (I've done a few searches, but cannot find a topic which addresses this specifically)

     

    Cheers!

    Welcome Paul.

     

    Let me know if your still having probs tomorrow and I'll get it sorted for you mate. ;)

     

    Yeah, still showing as inactive - I put my username as 'Phantom' there, just FYI. I just would like to be able to read the threads - the more sources of info, the better, eh!

     

    Phil - I'm at the stage of "It's your money, you can do what you like"...which we all know means, "You earn the money, but if you spend it on trivia it's your an impolite person, mister". Ha ha.

     

    I'm going to get a quote from RS for the helmet I'm after and then just go for it - step one! :)

    Hi all - I did try and sign up to the UKG site, but not had my password authorised yet.

     

    As for the fund raising figures, that's absolutely amazing! I knew the 501st did good things but I had not idea HOW good.

     

    Looking forward to reading the many threads here...and spending my money a bit more wisely for it! :)

    Just wanted to show my appreciation for this site!

     

    Spent a long time lusting after the SDS helmet and armour...until I really started researching this subject! Now I look set to go for RS Prop Masters stuff.

     

    Question for you all - how did you convince your wife/better half that this wasn't a ridiculous and childish waste of money that you could spend on other things (notice the paraphrasing there...)?

     

    I'm pushing the angle of getting helmet only as a 'collectible piece' before suggesting that 'what's a helmet without the armour'....

     

    Anyway...hello!
