  1. That's awesome man! :D  That faceless bucket feeling is great.  Helps me stop being such an introvert.

     

    If you ever get nervous or have issues (goes for anyone, for any reason) be sure the handlers know what's up, and don't try to "be tough" and ignore it!  I've seen too many people go down with heat issues because they wanted to be the tough guy and not drink enough.  Handlers jobs is to keep everyone safe, and they need the help by knowing what to look for!

     

     

    Are those stormtrooper ice cleats I see?

    Looking very smart there Frank:duim:

     

    Some suggestions to improve the overall look.

    - The use of gloves

    - The use of a black undersuit

    - The use of a balaclava to hide some skin

    - Perhaps some lens material to help hide the eyes, sunglasses might also do the trick

    - some sort of wide black material around the waist, a smoking belt maybe

    - additional pics to show the boots

     

    And that´s it, with just a few adjustments you will have a costume to be really proud of but the accuracy of the build is up to the applicant - best of luck in joining the Sith Lords:salute:

     

     

     

    Ugh why is everyone in the 501st so elitist!  Yeah he's missing a few minor details but geez, we gotta stop being so hung up on that!

     

    :P

    Okay, so you guys tell me if I'm just being nitpicky...

     

    What I ordered...

    What I received...

    I'm guessing that I misunderstood "durable PU Leather,top notch quality fabric has been used with outstanding craftsmanship,highly durable, comfortable and easy to wear." I thought PU leather would mean Leather like or leather look. I guess PU stands for pee-yew.

     

    I also misunderstood, "Including: A jumpsuit+ Gloves+ Belt + Helmet + shoes"

    Maybe I got the deluxe version where they were able to combine all of those elements into one item?

     

    I'm also sensing that sarcasm doesn't come across on message boards very well.

    Why did you post the same picture twice?

    To be honest, AP is holding a nice sale right now in the for sale area. Great deal. MTK is also holding his sale right now as well. mtk_armor@cox.net

     

    If you need a website then head over to rspropmasters.com and they are one of the best sets of armors you can get. 

    Just gonna go ahead and plug AP armor.  I have 2.5 sets, have built about 4 total between myself and other people, and can vouch for it's quality!

  5. As someone who makes and sells strapping kits, it's much cheaper to make them yourself.  If you're going to snap/pads route, start off with a Snap Press because it's *so* worth the money in the long run.  About 50 Tandy Line 24 snaps will give you more than enough to do an entire TK plus extras for screw ups.  You'll need Nylon Webbing, 1" Black Elastic, and a little bit of 2" white elastic for the shoulders (cut in half for drop boxes).

     

    As Joseph said, buy a soldering iron or woodburning iron to burn holes/ends so they don't fray.  Rivets and hand guards you can get on FISD for really good prices.  If you're in Europe the correct sized rivets should be easy to get locally too.
