Excellent thanks so much!!!!

Hehe...I did already trim it then thought about the paint....LOL

I am about to start working on my helmet & I want to paint it black inside but what is easier.......to assemble the 2 pieces then paint the inside or paint to 2 pieces separately and then assemble? Thanks

Thanks getting them sown now

Hi All, Silly question of the day....but I have a friend offer to do do some sewing for me and figured i would get the loops needed for the chest, abdomen, back & butt done! I read or saw somewhere but can't remember now that I need 9 loops each made of 1 inch wide black elastic with a length of 1 inch. What my plan was to cut 2 1/2 inch lengths of black elastic, burn the ends to prevent fraying and fold them over for a total length 1 1/4 inch loops once sewn it would be about 1 inch loop. Is this the correct ? Thanks

Thanks Q, I signed up just waiting on the approval now Fred

Hi Q, I understand if elections have happened that explains why the GML name changed....But I thought to join their forums I had to be active member of the 501st: So since I haven't even started making my armor I thought I couldn't join.....

Hi, Slowly getting decisions made for my build, but was hoping to talk to some of the members during Comic Con in Toronto next week but sent an e-mail to the GML awhile back but have not heard anything......I had sent two other e-mails before that then I notice GML had changed or had the wrong e-mail but either way 3 e-mails and zero response!

Good to know...thanks!!

Hi all, I am looking for my neck seal and body suit and was wondering if Stroomtrooper-Costumes was a good place to buy? I didn't see it listed here but i have have miss it... https://www.stormtrooper-costumes.com/ Also I am from Canada and try to buy from either the US or Canada, if someone know of another place feel free to suggest it Fred

Thanks, I will have to decide which way to do it now.....though I like that self adhesive EVA padding you have Cheers

I watched a few videos on making your armor and seen some who paint the inside of their helmet black and others don't. What is the considered the proper way to do this? Paint or don't Paint? And if you do paint is there a specific paint to use or technique? Thanks

Thank you all, so many decisions to make it all gets a bit confusing after awhile... Think I'll stick to the AP, buying local is always nice you don't get those nasty duty charges & I think I will try the untrimmed version! Now just to pay for it!!! LOL

I been going through the forums and YouTube videos trying to decide where and what armor to buy, just want the look from New Hope! I am in Canada and was looking at local company out of Montreal AP Armor but then saw a video on RS Prop Master from UK and now I am confused what is better to buy if I do not factor in the price. So is it worth for more authentic armor better to go with RS (would like to get Centurion Certification eventually) or if I bought from AP would I still get the same authenticity? I was planning on going with them fully trimmed AP armor since my skill is limited....lol Any advice is appreciated & welcomed!
