Welcome to the FISD! I my self am about 6'3" 215 and the RT mod armor fit like a glove!
Where at in Texas? I'm in San Antonio

Well good luck on your build! I'm patiently waiting for TK boots to start producing again so I can complete mine. Armor, check : blaster, check : soft parts, check.... Boots

Welcome to the FISD! Good luck with your build and don't hesitate to ask the fine folks here on this site! Troopers helping troopers!

I'm currently waiting on TK boots myself!

I'm using a TK build as a starter with hopes of progression to a Fett build. You say RS is working on one as we speak??

Oh yeah got that noted! I'm starting to get excited shooting for EIB build and hoping I can pull it off. It's tough reading the threads without the stuff in front of me to physically see!
I build guns for the Air Force so I'm sure cutting and trimming some ABS should be easy compared to cutting steel!! 😃

Hey Albert, where about in Texas? I'm in San Antonio and am purchasing an RT-Mod kit. Rob informed me I was up on his wait list so should be getting it in 4-6 weeks! I'm a newbie too and the folks here have been such a great help at helping us avoid some of the trappings that folks get into trying to get their hands on an armor set. Without them I would have blown $1500 on a garbage suit I saw that I thought was legit. Good luck to you sir!

Tim,
Yeah I know I took a little time off around the holidays. However I'm back and now excited that this is finally happening! Luckily I found all these fine folks that are more than willing to help us newbies out!
Good info on what specifics to give Rob. I had already made notes about the helmet mods and was going to bring those up to him. The painting of the inside of the lid black is a good idea also!
I've been wanting to get into this for years now and I just can't believe that it's finally going to become a reality, can't wait to get out there and start trooping!!!!

Good day all!
The day finally arrived when Rob from RT-Mod notified me my spot on his waiting list had come up!! Seeking the wisdom of you experts, is there anything special that i need to ask of him beyond his basic armor? Any upgrades that I should just pay now for to get them done that I should include in my order? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great day!

Well my time has finally come up! Rob emailed me Friday to let me know that my place on the waiting list was up!!! Deposit will be paid Friday and in 4-6 weeks I will finally have my hands on my very first TK armor.
Once again I reach out to you folks, the experts. I am going with the ANH Hero configuration. Is there additional that I need to request above and beyond other than the style. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Well good luck on your promotion boards gentlemen! I test for E7 in feb/Mar timeframe so I'm hoping to make it and earn some extra spending cash! lol

Jim,
He required nothing down to be placed on the waiting list. once your slot is up he requires a $250 deposit and then the rest is due upon suit completion!

Tim,
Man you are off to the races! Now I'm jealous! I plan on attacking my suit the same way, piece at a time when I can. I just had my third and final son last week so suit items are taking a back burner right now. My wife would probably throw me down the death star chasm if I came home with a holster or boots over diapers!! I already had a hard enough time getting her to buy off on purchasing the suit.
I was going to go ANH hero myself! Have you reached out to your local 501st garrison at all? I have contacted mine and requested information on when they are getting together for armor parties and such so that I can begin to learn some of the tricks of the trade. Well I am looking forward to taking this journey together and can't wait to finally be "trooping" rather than talking about it!

Dark,
I am officially on the wait list for my RT-Mod suit. Rob has been awesome to work with! I would love to share a timeline towards completion of our suits. I must admit I'm a little nervous as I have never taken on something like this before. I had no idea the attention to detail that gets put into these suits, they truly are a work of art and I can't wait to call one my own. You are thinking along the same lines as me, get a piece here and there while I anxiously await arrival of my suit! Thank you for the advice and look forward to comparing our journey!!
-
Finally heard back from both Authentic props and RT. Unfortunately for RT there is a wait list all the way till 2014 already! Is there really much difference between the two or is it worth the wait to get on the waiting list?? Need opinions from the professionals????
-
Steve,
Thanks for the link! I'm waiting to hear back as I emailed the contact for the RT armor and am anxiously awaiting a reply! I will definitely check in with some local folks. Thank you again for showing me where to start.

Very good food for thought! I want to get mine done before the new movies come out! Im definitely not above putting some work in to make it though. My plan is to get my kit and then find some local folks to coach me through what I need to do to get it approved! Thanks again for all the insight, I can't stress enough how glad I am I found this site!! lol
-
Yeah tell me about it, when I first found it I thought, wow, looks legit!! Glad I found you guys. I fired off an email today to RT so anxiously waiting on a reply. My weight is distributed pretty evenly, I have the Air Force to thank for that! If any armor will work what in your opinions is the best as far as coming almost ready to wear? I actually just got in touch with my local garrison at the Texas comic con here in San Antonio on Thursday and that's how I found out about you guys! SOOOOO glad I did!
