  1. Hi everyone, TK-???? here (I know... I can't wait to get my ID). This arrived today! "Arrived" is not quite exact. I live about 20 minutes away form AP. So I picked it up myself and saved time, shipping, time, stress, and time And so it begins...
  2. So... that "clamshell" male snap, is that merely decoration now? You still use use snaps from the interior, right?
  3. Ok. Thanks. Tomorrow, I'll pick up my "brown box" at AP's. So i'm getting nervous about assembly. Quite nervous :s Stéphane
  4. Rivet placement is giving me a headache If I'm correct, I see 6 rivets on the left side (3 ab + 3 kidney). But the right side pics usually show a single snap-like piece at the top of the ab plate. Am I right?
  5. I normally wear US10.5 or 11 (depending on the shoe/boot brand). Since these boots seem to be on the slim side, I ordered 11 (EUR45) to be sure. And yes... they fit very well.
  6. This is actually the first piece of equipment I got that is white. The armour will come soon
  7. Got my order from Imperial Boots! Superb, and they fit so well Contacted the guy (who replied in perfect French for me!)... and within 24-hrs I had my postal tracking number. Sweet! So if you need boots for your TK, TB, TD, CT, TR or whatever... go to http://imperialboots.com Cheers! ------------
  8. Another awesome AP tread to read and re-read while waiting for my AP brown box to arrive
  9. But is you plan to have stuff glued inside (or velcroed)... would it be better to do that first so that these are not 'on' the paint? That means I'd need to paint around these parts too (so no spray).
  10. I wrote to DoppyDoos this week. I asked about international shipping (I'm in Canada). They replied that they have been unable to get the DLT-19 past Canadian customs. I guess it looks too much like a real firearm replica and our government doesn't like it.
  11. Hi, I have seen a few posts from people who have painted the inside of their helmet black. Is there an advantage of doing it? (more opaque? better against the Sun?, etc.) Thanks PS: Sorry for still calling it a "helmet". I haven't adopted the funnier "bucket" terminology yet
  12. I am expecting my AP "brown box" in a week or 2. This tread is awesome!!!! I will read it and re-read it again. Thanks for sharing
  13. Thanks all for the replies. After some more research, I dediced to go with Karin's latex hand guards.
  14. Hi, I know the hand guards should be latex or "latex-like" material. I'm not sure what "latex-like" means really. On Trooperbay (and elsewhere), I've seen plain latex hand guards, which need to be painted white. But they also have white rubber hand guards that don't need painting and won't crack. Are the latter acceptable for Centurion level? Or do we really need the plain, painted ones? Thanks
  15. That's what I was looking for. Great! I just ordered the exact same one. Thanks for sharing
  16. I'm not a 501 legion member yet (soon... soon...), but it was nice to meet some of you guys at the Montreal Mini Comic Con today! Thanks to Eric (TK 37427) for being so friendly and helpful. My daughters loved you guys too. They even wanted me to get them light-sabres after. I'll continue to work on bringing them on the Empire's side Cheers!
  17. So.... the helmet tube stripes should be Mediterranean Blue... NOT French Blue.... Am I right?
  18. Ok, we've seen jokes about how useless Stormtrooper armor is in the movies. Is it just me or is the Search box in the upper right hand of the forums page kind of useless also? I never find anything with it. Even if I specifically put an obvious keyword that is part of a forum article title I saw... the search won't find the article. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks
  19. Thanks. Although I have not been approved yet so I may not be able to use a 501 discount right now So I would need the Aker (which one?), the iComm, and....? What else so that I can make a full (and complete) order? Thanks
  20. Great posts everyone! But my head is spinning trying to figure out the whole thing. Anyone has a detailed list of what's needed to make it work? - Aker - iComm - and...? And where to get them? I've seen posts with attached mics, headsets, and even a throat mic (which seems awesome). It seems that NOT having a wire attached between the helmet and the chest is good (in order to be able to remove the helmet... hence the throat mic option). But what do you recommend? My armor is not done yet (less than 3 weeks before I get it and start assembling it). But I'm looking for the extra accessories right now Thanks
  21. Hi. I'm interested. Can you point me to whoever "Jim" is please? Thanks Aside from the iComm and Aker duo... what do you use for mics? I've read about a few setups and it seems that the throat mic (hidden under the neckseal) is one of the best as a setup compared to, let's say, a headset.
