    I'm pretty much in the same boat with Kjaskaar. I am searching for my first Stormtrooper armor + helmet with full assembly. My friend is having his 30th birthday later this year and the theme will be all kinds of sci-fi / fantasy / superheroes. I have no intention on being 501st-approved. Just looking for an easy way to get the full package.

     

    I checked out the Anovos site but they only had kits for $650. I don't really understand why the price jumps to $1800 with the pre-assembly? Is the building really that much work?

     

    EDIT: Oh... and I reside in Finland. Height: 183 cm / 6'0 and weight: 100 kg / 220 lbs.

    Well it is and it isn't, you got to figure the company has to pay someone to build it. I don't know about you, it still takes a considerable amount of time to build armor even for veterans.

  8. Does anyone have a kit for sale?

    Is SDS kit good? I know about the whole 'court case' but it is quite popular in the 501st UK garrison with only very minor adjustments.

     

    IMO avoid it. Take a look at Marks link, it's a ton of extra work that you won't need to do with one of the approved vendors. The price isn't even that good either, the battle spec would cost more than the AP kit that I got. You have two great armorers in the UK to choose from as well RS and TM. They might cost a bit more than the SDS but they are far superior.

    I can't believe you said " sight the weapon" on a SMG I was taught to hold center mass and say ' sonofabitch' to control automatic fire so as not to waste rounds or melt anything.

    To be fair he did say that it's converted to semi auto so it might be possible to actually aim it...

  10. any good or should i walk away?

    Im all new to this and am affraid to think i bought a good armour, but actually have thrown away my money. <br>

    eventually i have the hope it to as acurate as possible, but so many claim to be one from the orinal molds.<br>

    also im 6,4" and heavy... im affraid most suits wont fit.<br><br>

    Im currently stuck between 3 stores, but some troopers praise 1, while others completely destroy them.<br>

    rsprop, orig.strooper, and anovos, though the last starts shipping in januari, i 'need' it for the end of the year...<br><br>

    Again, centurion is for now a too high goal, but basic 501 seems like a great achievement...<br><br>

    Sugestions anyone?

     

    Go to this list http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11538-the-various-types-of-armor-and-where-to-find-them/page-1%27

     

    If it isn't on the list there is usually good reason. Read through the list, then take a look at different threads here regarding each armor type. They each have their strengths and weaknesses, but they are on that list for a reason. As others have said, if it isn't on this list it is most likely best to avoid. If you are a bigger person your best bet would be to AM 2.0 or RT Mod. How to contact them is also in that link others (and I)  have listed above.

     

    Edit: If you are 6'4 and heavy, I don't think the RS kit would fit you although I could be mistaken. Don't go with Original Stormtrooper it just isn't worth it. You will spend way more time, money and effort to bring it up to even basic 501st acceptance. That being said people have gotten it approved with a lot of work.

    Congrats man! It looks like it was an awesome first troop. I actually just got back from my first troop as well! It was a blast, other then watching my wheel come off my truck and bounce off a cliff.  I ran into Yves this weekend and he passed on the greetings lol.

    In the pic up there, mine is inline with photo "A" I really want to get my EIB submitted, I just haven't had the time to get kitted up and take pictures. I still haven't taken my pics for my TIE reserve kit (our XO is getting annoyed as I would be the last one needed to have a TIE flight, which needs minimum 10 members)

  21. Advice on helmet fans?

    in Electronics for Helmets / Blasters

    Posted · Edited by Jinsei

    There are a few people on here that produce helmet fan kits, they are all pretty much use the same parts (fans and the like)

     

     

    I will say if you are hard of hearing (even if you aren't) you should look into picking up a hearing assist system. The plastic blocks a lot of sound even for those of us with good hearing. These systems help a lot. It's essentially made up of two small mics, motherboard/soundcard and headphones, makes hearing things much easier as you can adjust the volume.

     

    I would link it, but for some reason this computer doesn't like FISD, and links don't tend to work. Take a look in the Imperial Commissary/PX under  the Ongoing Sales and Project Orders.
