Cool thanks for the responses. No I did not buy the armor yet...checked with you all first! I knew it was rough but I was thinking if it was a legit kit, I'd turn it into a sandy. I know the JR kits are a no-no around here, hah. <br>
I've poked around many of the vetted armorers, but gonna try and find one on a budget, if possible. I'm also working on a Mando costume for the Mercs (about 75% complete) so my costuming budget is going to that, but once I'm done, it's trooper time.
