  1. Ok ...so here's an update to what I have done...I tried to make some mods to the Rubies and submit the photos but it just wasn't good enough. So I tried a different approach, I turned the ESB into a incinerator trooper and submitted it and again I was knocked down but looking at the Incinerator trooper I submitted I saw that I myself would have rejected it because the Helmet, no matter what I tried with it was too big and clumpy looking. Finally I put the Rubies to rest, Went on Facebook and met a person named Walter who runs Walts Trooper Factory I bought the Gino V2 helmet and armor. Best thing I ever did was STOP WASTING MORE MONEY on the RUBIES. I hate to admit it but everyone was right. you would spend more money trying to modify the Rubies then you would buying an armor with the helmet from WTF...Good luck and may the force be with you.
  2. Im not finished with this one. I have to Paint the drop boxes , turn the button box and add the ammo pouch. But I thought the Pauldron was supposed to be red.
  3. I need the 2 lower legs and the chest piece for the ESB armor. If anyone knows where I can get these please contact me at rickmassa@yahoo.com The lower legs I have have a huge gap from around the knee area and the chest piece I have has the molding. .
  4. LOL..you guys are the best. Thanks
  5. Does anyone know how I can stop the white from peeling off my boots.
  6. I've been searching for months for the correct stormtrooper boot and when I did find them they were very large..(14) so what I did was I went to New York (I live in Jersey) I found a pair of Tommy Hilfiger Chelsea boot ...They only had brown ..The last pair and in my size (9) and I paid $100.00 for them. It was an oppertunity I wasn't going to pass up after such a long search So I grabbed them and I painted them white. Only problem I have now is the paint keeps peeling off the front. I don't care because I know their is a way to fix that but my search is over...Go online checkout the TH sight and you will find them or else you will be looking for a while. I know you will find them eventually...Good luck brother.
  7. Can someone tell me if the boots should be or can be weathered?

  9. Thank you all for your advise as I am following it as much as I can. Im trying to see how far I can get with the Rubies and I believe if I could just get my Foot in the door for now, Then I can save to get a good armor. If being ROTJ gets me this through the threshold...Ill be happy that i'm in and I can relax and save up for the good armor, I am so determined that I believe that I can make this work. Thank you all and I hope soon to be Brothers with all of you.
  10. Please give me feedback and direction if possible. Thank you brothers.
  11. Ok here is where i'm at with the Mods to the Rubies armor..... I've removed the rivets from the shoulder straps filed in the rivet hole and used ABS cement to put them back in place worked great. next I drilled holes in the fake buttons on the abdomen plate and replaced the with the blue and grey buttons that I purchased. I also replaced velcro with snaps and the armore fits like a glove.
  12. The Helmet is gone, I bought and received the EFX ANH helmet. I've disassembled the armor and removed the elastic snaps and replace them with metal snaps so the fit is more snug I will repurchase the correct shoes and as for the pauldron i will remove it as I want to start with becoming a ESB stormtrooper. I will settle for that to get me into the 501st, I really want to be a part of the 501st. Then i will start to build or just purchase the Sandtrooper armor. Thanks for the advice I could really use the guidance from you. Thank you so much friend.
