[Noisy Armor]

Great suggestions, thanks!  I'll see after my first couple of troops if I find it really annoying.  If so, I'll try some of these.

[Noisy Armor]

Hello,

I'm still a newbie so this may sound really dumb.  

 

I've been sizing and testing out my armor and it seems noisy as I walk around.  It's not a groaning of seams as much as it is a rattle of free floating parts.  Shoulders on biceps, boxes on thighs, etc.  Is this normal?  

 

There's a part of me that wants to modify the armor into stealth mode with little bits of white felt hidden in the noisy areas.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

I prefer the engineer's motto: If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.

Running (Yes, its not just strapping on a pair of hoes...)

 

 

 

That sounds expensive!

Very much in the same boat!  I try to limit to one vice at a time but it doesn't always work.  Flying, running, brewing, RC cars, RC planes, RC helicopters, virtual reality, video games, costumes/armor.....  I guess I just figured out why I don't ever seem to have any money.

 

All of these seem to bring me closer to family and friends so it's all worth it.

Another new Texan.  Welcome!

I'll be there for Fan Expo.  Hope to meet a lot of folks there!

Thanks to all for the warm welcome.  

 

Tim, I joined the Star Garrison FB group last night.  I live in McKinney and look forward to meeting some troopers.  I'm leaning towards RS for my height and their quality. The forums have already been a great help!

It's a good day for new Texans!

Hello!  Inspired by the "Too old to Troop?" post, I decided to join the forum and work my way up to trooping.  I've been a fan since first seeing Star Wars in the theater as a kid.  

 

My first armor will likely be a purchase.  I'm a bit burned out on building after a build of the "Edge of Tomorrow" suit and a barely started Pepakura Iron Man.  

 

I look forward to the journey here!

[Are you ever too old to Troop?]

I know this is an old thread, but this was my inspiration to join this forum and start down the trooping path.  I'm a 12 year old trapped in a 44 year old body.  I look forward to the journey!
