very nice! that will probably help quite a bit, actually. thanks!

here's some pics. I figure I can probably remove almost all of the bottom of the codpiece, as long as the front bits stay on, same with the butt plate, but I'm not sure. the thing I've seen is folks cutting a trapezoid shape onto the back of the shins.

so I tried on my armor for pretty much the first time today, and I have some concerns... is an almost complete lack of ability to move normal? is there a way to increase mobility? I was wondering if removing the return edges on the thighs and other locations might help, and I've seen people cut out a portion of the back of the shins, but I haven't really been able to find anything concrete on what's acceptable or not. Also, there's a lot of extra plastic on my butt plate and bottom of the ab plate... how much of that can I remove?

so, I'm working on my first build, with an AM set. I'm currently working on the greaves, but I'm a tad confused by the requirements, which state that AM greaves shall be on the proper legs, with a new cover strip... what on earth does it mean by a new cover strip? I've done some searches, and I can't find anything about it.

Hello everyone! hopeful future TK here. I'm in a bit of a pickle right now regarding my TK boots. I'm an 11.5, and 11s usually fit, but in the case of my TK boots... I should have gone with the 12s. I thought I would ask if anyone here might have the opposite problem... maybe you might have some 12s that are too big, and wouldn't mind swapping for some size 11 boots? these are the boots in question... http://trooperbay.com/stormtrooper-ankle-boots/

What's the difference between NE and AM? Is it just different mold sets or something? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Yeah, I intend to get another helmet soon. The price difference between the full set with helmet and the partial set was so small I figured, why not? Never hurts to have a spare bucket. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Apparently they sell AM sets. Pretty sure I heard of them from this site. The guy I emailed sent this as an example ---------- Edit : hasn't been sent yet, but I posted an initial deposit. Should be ready around June. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Thanks for all the input guys! It appears you prevented me from committing a serious error. Dark CMF, I placed my order for armor with 'troopergear'. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

hello everyone... new to the forums, and I recently placed an order for my armor kit. all I need are the soft parts and accessories. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the items on this website, and whether or not they are 501st approved. Jedirobe---------- it appears the boots are a no-go, since apparently the U-shaped elastic part on the side is required. my main question is with regards to the E-11 and it's holster, the Neckseal, and the canvas belt. otherwise, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to get 501st approved versions of these items. on a side note, what's the difference between the ANH hero, ANH stunt, ESB and ROTJ trooper armors? near as I can tell, the only difference is the hand-guards best regards, hopeful future recruit. edit: one final question... what's the difference on the 501st site between the 501st, level 2, and level 3 certification, other than degrees of accuracy?
