Thanks everyone!

I have been approved!!!!!!!. I'm so excited. EIB and Centurion here I come!

.

Thanks guys. If your talking about the first set of pic,i put the arms on wrong and switched it in the later pics. I know those drop boxes move a lot. I was thinking of getting them in the right spot and puttind a stitch in the belt. I'll check into trimming that side. Just don't want to take off too much in case I get a lil bigger around the mid section. I could definitely use some practice on putting the suit on and adjusting it just right. Once again thanks for the replies. Any more?

Got the big brown boxes!!!!! This thing is amazing. RS Prop Masters is top notch! It fits pretty good, although it is loose in the arm and leg areas. The helmet is gorgeous. Plenty of room and it feels pretty solid. I had to add screen mesh for the mouth and a wireless mic. i took apart the receiver to lower its profile. I also lined it with some felt to give it the real look and hide the mic receiver. I put the aker amp and Icomm in the chest. It definitely works. i really like the static burst feature. After that i put foam in the loose areas to tighten it up a bit and not be so clanky. i knew it was part of the risk buying it it per-assembled. but i still think they did a great job. It definitely fits better now. Oh and i cant forget the blaster and some close up of the details. So this is where I'm at. I would like to get 501st approved and go all the way to Centurion. Just wanted to get some pointers and tips on anything else i could do to get me there. Thanks any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks guys! Bulldog, I was really going for a way to make the helmet dark (so light doesn't shine through and kids can't see up) not really comfort. Sly, can you post some pics of how you have yours set up? I would like to have the sound burst and correct sound.

Sent in my measurements today! I was thinking of adding voice and fans. Any suggestions? Also I wanted to black out the lid, but they said paint would alter the outside color. Is there a type of foam or liner I might be able to use instead?

Well that makes me feel better! Thanks for the replies. I'll start posting pics as soon as I start getting boxes. I can't wait!

Hello everyone, I'm new to the site and just wanted any and all advice on my build. I just ordered a complete set of armour and helmet with accessories from RS Props. I'm 5'11 and around 170. Will it meet 501st standards or will I have some fixing to do? I decided to let them build it since I wouldn't have time due to my son's illness. I got the suit for charity reasons mainly but would also like to join. So any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
