No armor updates, but I saw this today and got excited! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb0HmsPEt68 So funny!

I paid for my kit yesterday! Bank transfer to the UK! In a few weeks I'll be receiving PVC armor, helmet, strapping pack, holster, and ANH blaster. So far they've been very good to work with and answered all of my questions promptly. I'll still need shoes (in talks for), and an undersuit. I'd like to use black merino for breathability. Does anyone else wear merino? I expect to do alot of trimming since I'm 5'2". I'll keep track of my progress here. Thinking of having an armor party in late June if I can find someone to host who will accept bribes in the form of cookies & beer.

I'll be working on my first build soon, TK Stormtrooper, ANH Stunt. Going for EI! I'll start a thread when the kit arrives (should be in about a month). Message me if you want me to bug you, I mean ask you, for help! Anyone living in western Washington state, I'm going to try to set up an armor build party in late June. Message me if you'll accept bribes in the form of cookies & beer. Also, I would like a t-shirt!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this information! I am in the beginning stages (inquiring for kits) of creating a TK Stunt, ANH Stormtrooper. I have contacted ATA. I was reading a post on the different armor kit makers and just wanted to clarify- it is possible to modify ATA to reach EI status, correct? I was looking at the RSpropmasters which claims to be EI level out of the box; but since they are in the UK, much pricier and my bigger concern is that I haven't heard back from them yet either. I don't have anyone to help me put together my armor (yet?), so I'm trying to learn as much as I can and not buy the wrong components. I just trooped this weekend (as a handler) at Free Comic Book Day and it was so much fun! I can't wait to be handled instead of handling!
