[Williams Sound amplifier]

Couldnt find a discussion on how to amplify outside sound to insider the bucket. <br><br>

Was interested in hearing (pun intended) what you use to amplify sound so you can hear better. <br><br>

[ATA - AP Size Difference - My Observations Only]

Im 5'8" 190lb 37" waist with a measuring tape but 32" waist in jeans, more girth than average in the thigh and hind area, 7 1/2-3/4 baseball cap. I like that the AP is available sooner than ATA. ATA has more attractive price however.

 

Will the AP helmet and armor be too snug for me?

Hello and welcome aboard. You can check out AP too

Great advice. Leaning towards AP now. They are priced between ATA and TM but better availability than ATA.

I can live with cheap and good = slow

[Hola! Newbie from Orange County (OC) SoCal inspiring 501st]

Wow there's a large delta in price and lead time between TM and ATA and wait times.

[Hola! Newbie from Orange County (OC) SoCal inspiring 501st]

Thanks fellas. Did some reading up and narrowing it down to TM (based on reviews of how beautiful it is and sounds like it would fit my body type better than others, but have my reservations on availability and cost) and ATA (affordability but concerned I'm too girthy for it).

Thanks for having me.

 

Discovered the 501st while walking the Star Wars Celebration last week in Anaheim.

 

Researched what the organization does for the community and was quickly drawn in. I can already envision the smiles and joy I might bring to others trooping. I used to volunteer at CHOC and recall how good it felt helping others.

 

I have on order an ANOVOS kit with competed helmet. Won't deliver until this winter so I'm actually looking for an armor kit with helmet I can start on in the meantime.

Maybe the veterans would be kind enough to add their 2 cents on which vendor I should pursue.

 

Here's what I'm after:

*Armor kit with helmet that I can buy and have delivered sooner than Winter so I can complete it in time for EP7.

*A kit that would be a great starting point to eventually get 501st approved

*TK storm trooper (open to the variants)

*$1000-1200 total budget for everything (hard and soft parts, blaster and boots and etc)

*I'm a novice, this will be my first build. I have never even assembled a model car or plane before. As green behind the ears as can be but willing to put the time in and learn from others.

*Body type:

-5'8",

-190lbs,

-medium build/endomorph

-Chest 39 1/2"

-Waist 37 1/2" (baffling because I wear size 32" waist, 30" inseam jeans

-Hip 43"

-Arm 32"

-Hand 8 1/2"

-7 3/4 baseball cap size

 

Looking forward to your replies. Thanks in advance.
