What do you mean by "best"? Below is based on hearing these first hand side by side: For sound quality, the best is RomFX, but it's $260 and can take months to come in. For ease of installation with OK sound, Skullworx is "best". Attractively priced and even a noskillz like me can install one in minutes. For lowest cost, going to Radio Shack seems "best". ** NOTE: I have not heard a hyperdyne in person so can't comment on them, though I understand they are better than *Worx but not quite at the level of RomFX in terms of sound quality.

Wow - when did this happen? There was no mention on the GT boards. Regarless - congrats on your new status! And, welcome to the restricted site ;-)

For folks not on RPF - any shots of his work?

I don't think so at all - if you're going to weather do it right. This certainly looks like some of the rifles I was issued back in the day

Credentials confirmed - welcome on station trooper Any pix of your TK? j/c as only the Vader is loaded on the 501st site.

Granted.

You're all set trooper!

Yup, webisodes are already online----------

Actually it's a reference to Battlestar Galacita. They call new pilots nuggets, which I think refers to the fact that they are valuable but not fully formed (mature) professionals. Sorry, BSG Season 2.5 is in and we're re-watching.

Super work Ryan - you're looking great! Now that get 501st application in to the GT GML ASAP - we could use a good nugget like you. ;-)

Your credentials are in order - welcome on station trooper

Yup, this feature is disabled. Though it's active on CTN it's not active on BSN. I'm talking to their admins to see why they chose the rules they did, and we'll have this straightened out shortly.

No, it's different. Feel free to PM me with the error you're getting. Most likely it has to do with file size.

Where were you trying to post it? Right now I see two pix uploaded in the Trooping Events album in the "TK's in action" gallery.

Identity verfied trooper - welcome aboard

So would it be safe to say that as long as you're in that range, you should choose what looks aesthetically best for the size helmet you have?

There's a place called TAP Plastics in my area, and I'm sure that there is something similar in yours. Look for a place that sells plastic products for industrial customers, such as custom thermoforming shops.

My bad Jonathan - I should have updated you at the same time I got your new member notification.

How does it perform in the heat/cold compared to UnderArmor in terms of percent (which is the most helpful comparison), e.g. 100% equal to UnderArmor, about 75% as good as UA, etc.

Thanks Paul - how many stripes should there really be? The reason I ask is that I've seen between 11 and 13 on various screen caps.

So for the TE2 helmet if I want to be an accuracy freak, should I have the traps painted or use decals? For a sandtrooper this is easy - go with paint as on the original helmets they were hand painted and it helps give that primitive look that sandtroopers should have, considering that it was the TD version of the armor that they did first, and the TK really was created after that. For a TK I'm kinda on the fence. Weren't those helmets hand painted too? Decals look nice and crisp with keeping with the clean motiff of the TK, but if you go TE2 for accuracy, why not go all the way? What do you guys think?

Actually this is how most people have them so they float. What you'll see a lot of folks do is to run a strip of velcro or a strap from the bicep to the shoulder bell (lots of variations). This will control the maximum length that the bicep can slide down. Let's see if I can think of all the different ways I've seen this done: 1. Duct tape (no foolin'!) 2. Strip of velcro to velcro tabs on each end (e.g. in the bell & bicep) 3. Dedicated strap glued to each piece 4. Dedicated strap riveted to each piece 5. Strap glued or velcro'd to the bicep that loops through a "tab" that has been glued to the bell. This allows the length to be adjusted. The nice part is that all of these (except a rivet on the bell) are hidden from viewers, so it doesn't have to be pretty. I dig having the strap adjustable. Also, I'd recommend you not pull it too high. If you look in the screen caps it should rest at the bottom of the upper arm, not be half-way up.

See boys and girls what happens when you don non-canon gear like spats? Seriously - just glad he was unhurt - man that was funny.

Outstanding! Esp. that it can fit an MG-34
