    Western Australia - New Recruit

    You are welcome!.

    I myself ordered one from ebay...do NOT do that...very disappointed. I have placed an order for a neckseal from veedox ( he is a member here), I have yet tom receive it, but his neckseals come highly recommended...

    Cool, yeah I made that mistake from someone in Melbourne too!

    Does veedox have a sales link here to these neck seals?

    Western Australia - New Recruit

    Hi guys,

     

    I don't believe I've introduced myself here yet. :)

     

    I'm an Englishman now based in Geraldton Western Australia and looking to get approved to troop with my fellow Desert Scorpions/TAG/501st!

     

    Been spending the last couple of months desperately trying to modify my Rubies armor which I've had gathering dust since the wife bought it for me 3 years ago; but all I'm hearing is that I'll be fighting a losing battle with it. :blink:

     

    So last week I made another leap and purchased an AM TX Shadow Trooper kit from over on SpecOps... since then I've become addicted and already destroying my bank balance by picking up some black jodhpur boots, two piece under armor, neck seal, nomex gloves, holster, black canvas belt, icomm and helmet fans :dancing-trooper:

    I wonder if any of you more experienced soldiers could help me with a dilemma?

    I believe the only thing remaining now while I wait for my AM TX kit to arrive is getting myself a blaster. (Also wouldn't rule out a DT-19 if something came up).

    I've seen both Strikers (who is selling for $140USD on SpecOps) and SDS versions here:
    Strikers Hasbro mod
    SDS

    I'm looking at around $200 or $300 respectively.

    I don't even mind buying a second hand one if something good came up.

    But I need you guys expert opinions and if you know of anyone within Aus selling any too due to the excessive exchange rates I keep getting struck by?

     

    Thanks guys!! :duim:

    If you take a look at this thread:

     

    http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/19329-where-what-and-whom-to-avoid-when-buying/

     

    CTM props is listed on there already as a re-caster.  That's a good list of who to avoid.

     

    Over on this thread:

     

    http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11538-the-various-types-of-armor-and-where-to-find-them/

     

    you'll find a good starting point for armor providers.  I suggest sending emails to each of the contacts and asking them what type of armor they provide.  You'll get a response and you'll have a better idea of the type and price of the armor you're getting from them.  

    Hi Ron, yeah already underway with making contact.

    Currently looking at T/MC and NE armor.

    Actually wouldn't mind going down the route of a Shadow Trooper now as I've just worn myself out trying to mod my Rubies armor for the past few weeks (sighhh)

    Hi guys,

     

    I'm still getting my head around everything and weighing up my options on what path to take before I buy anything this time.

    Weighing up a potential Shadow Trooper option too.

     

    Do any of you know about CTM Props? They have a facebook page.

     

    Seems like a really nice guy and willing to share any information asked of him.

    He says several customers get approved into the 501st with their kits....as long as you assemble them and finish them according to 501st guidelines..you can get approved...he says their helmet is similar to AP and armor is similar to TE2

     

    Over to you guys to help a rookie out here :)
