Got it already, thanks!

Brilliant! Will have a look at these options

Hi all, wanted to ask if there is some kind of tutorial on how to replace the default foam with a better system for inside of the helmet. been looking on this forum but cannot find any. Been using pads but did not work out when i place them all over on the inside. Greetings from TK-59000

Hi [mention]gmrhodes13 [/mention] , Thanks for all the advice. I did put on the armor again but did not had someone around for taking pictures. Will do that next week. But took your advice with me. - The drop boxes are now straight, the reason was because the belt was not straight. Now it is. - i have lifted the thighs a little bit so it wouldn’t touch the sniper plate. But i think i will also add some foam to it. Maybe some “tactical foam”, i can also use this for the inside of the helmet. - i also resolved the shoulder bell issue, by using some white tape. Saw that as an advice on one of RS there video’s. Now there closer to the shoulder strap of the armor. Also the spacing issue is resolved this way because the alignment is the same on both arms. Thanks a lot again for the tips!!

Got some response back from rob (RS) its been a while since my last response. I have made some pictures again and some changes to the bicep, it fits better now. Thing i am taking in consideration for the next photos are: - putting the thermal detonator straight. - closing the thighs, maybe use velcro for better closing. Cannot find anything in the CRL that i cannot do this. - closing the right shoulder bell, so its more to the armor. Got big shoulders, so hopefully this will work. What do you guys think?

[mention]gmrhodes13 [/mention] thanks for the response! I am waiting on a response from Rob from RSpropmasters first before i make any more changes [emoji4] The movement is ok for me... Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

Hi rob, i already contacted RS Today by mail. But i thought that if maybe i shorten te strap the backside it connected better because of the thigh pieces being way too high up my but with almost no space. I will put the put back on tomorrow with the help of my wife and take some pictures. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

I have been to the shop but cannot find the correct snaps for the crotch. I think these are Newey snaps, but they are hard to find. Any tips on were to get these are welcome. I think these snaps are between 12 and 13mm. See picture. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

Didnt thought of that! Will do that this evening... [emoji1303] Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

Maybe an idea to shorten the crotch strap? Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

So, after some repair jobs with the great help of [mention]Darthmarses [/mention]and everybody else here i am still in doubt about the backside, i got a feeling that i need to lift the leg belt way to high up my stomach to get a good view and that the crotch is too low. See pictures. Ps. My wife wasn’t home and and had trouble getting my other arm armor on. [emoji28] Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

Ok, so i used some alcohol and bought a dremel tool to carefully remove the old glue and it worked! [emoji16][emoji1303] ive applied some E6000 and will not let it rest for 48 hours. Also recieved and applied some screen mesh “raam hor” for the mouth piece from marcel (Darthmarcess) big thumbs up for everybody and especially marcel for helping me along the way of making this prop legion ready! See pics for result. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

Good to know! Thanks!! [emoji1303] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Rob .T .Thanks for the tips! will first contact RSpropmasters to give them a heads up. @Sly11 Its hard, so i think it is Super glue. I allready tried with E6000 but offcourse it became loose, stupid of me not think about it that E6000 won't work on a surface with super glue and grease. Rookie action...

Thanks marcel for the condolences and for the advice, i will first contact RSpropmasters before eventually repairing it myself. If you can send me some "Raam hor" that would be great! will send you the address in a private message.

Hi All, Let me introduce myself, i am Dennis Zaan from The Netherlands, almost ready to serve the empire I am a Star Wars fan since i was just a little boy. And also me and my dad thick as thieves when it comes to Star Wars. Unfortunately my dad past away a month ago, 2 days after the Prop came in Too bad he could not see me wear the Prop. So that's also a reason i want to make the prop perfect as possible. Now i have received my full commission of a Stormtrooper ANH Stunt, i know that the prop should be ready to wear but still i have to do some mods to make it movie like before trying to enter the legion. now i have some questions regarding the prop. 1. What kind of solution can i safely use for removing old glue and for de-greasing it? Reason why i ask this is that the strip let loose (see picture) after wearing it one time, the glue you see on the picture is the glue being used by RSpropmasters not sure about the solution used. I am a beginner at this so i will be using magnets and E6000 glue for re-attaching it. 2. What kind of material can i use for the Vocal (Mouth piece at the back)? (see picture) 3. I want to re-attach the clip for the lower leg piece that came loose after wearing it one time and maybe use a thicker elastic. What kind of elastic can i the best? Hopefully you can answers my questions, and sorry upfront if my English is not that great. PS. reason why i have not send it back to RSpropmaster is because i want to learn to repair it myself and not wait a long time before receiving it back. Kind regards, Dennis Zaan

Wow! Lots of magnets and clamps... [emoji15] nice! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks really good man! Will follow the progress! [emoji1303] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks a lot @Firedog and @CoolHandLAZ I just ordered two types of magnets, from a different site tho. 8x 20mm diameter / 5 MM thick. 8x 12mm diamete / 3 MM thick. I saw at a video of RSprop masters to wrap them up in painters tape so my fingers wont get stuck in between and to get the magnets off easily from the PVC. Thanks a lot guys! cannot wait to get my costume finalized, to start trooping!

May i ask what kind of magnets and blue tape your are using? There are so many differences in strong magnets. Is this maybe a good option for magnets? Link: Magnets
