  3. I built it out on my own. I got all the stuff from Amazon, eBay or stuff I had around the workbench. The fans are through an Adjustable Driver Switch. This allows the 2 5volt fans to come on without the 12 v ones, but if I turn up the driver switch the 12 v will kick on. The 5-volt ones are protected from burning out with a 12v to 5v Step-Down. These are run off a 12V Tenergy 2000mAh NiMH battery. The battery also powers the audio amplifier. The mic is plugged into the iPhone, then the modulated audio is run to the amplifier then out to the speakers. I can adjust the audio level with the knob. This is basically the setup
  4. Just finished off the electronics in my helmet. I’m stoked. It took a bit of engineering and positioning, but I got all my electronics in my helmet and working. Voice modulator (old iPhone using trooper talk), audio amp, mic and four 15mm speakers. Along with two 5 volt fans and two 12 volt fans on a variable knob to turn them up and down. It’s all running off a 12 v battery back. The helmet itself is a heavily modified R1 black series. I stripped everything out of the inside, filled the speaker holes, molded ears, replace the screen behind the frown, changed lenses, modified mic tips (15mm speakers in side them). I know it will never be anything more than basic approval, but I happy with it.
  5. Best my local squad could figure out of my armor was that is it an FX as well. I got it used very cheap and trimmed it for me. I did not get his helmet and got a different one. It worked out and I got approved with it. Here is my first post asking about it. It has some pictures you can compare.
  6. Looking at other troopers it seems that my hand plates are a bit big. How much should I trim them down?
  7. Issue fixed. Worked great for my first troop at a local baseball game Star Wars night.
  8. Thanks for the suggestion that's what I ended up doing. I got a troop this weekend I'll see how it works out. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

  10. Good idea, I'll give that a shot. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  11. https://goo.gl/photos/m1QiHVjXaXqK631K8 Any thoughts on what would cause my shin armor to twist outward when I walk. By the time I got to the end of the block they were twisted?
  12. Yes, I know, Now I'm looking at a FOTK
  13. I got this approved. I did a lot of trimming down and make the joints butt joints. I also got a new bucket. I got approved as TK 13717
  14. It is through the local garrison that this was offered to me. But the CRL says "FX helmet is no longer permitted for new approvals." It is a very low price compared to any of the quotes I have got from vendors. That's why I'm looking seriously at it and asking about helmets. I have messages out to a good portion of the vetted vendors and am waiting for then prices for a bucket through them.
  15. If I resculpted the ear bars, put the screws on the ears, filled in the holes on the back, replaced the lenses and cleaned up the seams, does a black series even have a chance for approval? I have one I can modify.
  16. Where can I find an ATA works bucket? I am getting ANH stunt armor this weekend and the bucket the guy has looked like an EFX helmet. I want to get ANH stunt bucket ASAP that can be approvable. I have thought about resculpting the ear bars and filling in the holes in the back of a Black Series trooper helmet I have and from what I can tell the rest is good on the basic CRL, but I am still unsure if it could get approved for a basic.
  17. Ok, It looks like I will just get the armor from him then. For a small head what bucket will work best, that can be approved?
  18. Is it something with that maker? If that one won't work, what bucket do you guys suggest?
  19. I met a guy at the local 501st meet and greet the other day with some armor for sale. I need some advice on what he has. He said he did not quite finish it or get it approved before he has some surgery then never got around to it. He is not sure of the maker as he got it from another 501st member about 4 years ago. The seller is the same height as me but a bit thicker, so I will trim the pieces down to fit me. The local squad leader is not sure on the helmet as we don't know the maker of it. I would like to get the thoughts from you experts.
