Thanks! Really appreciate the time and response

Next question! I finally got my RS armor. I need to do some adjustments. My first issue is the helmet. Going to have to paint the inside black. Second, the lens that came is not any good. Anyone know a good place to get a better quality? Also, needs a better type of padding, I’d take any suggestions here as well.

Did you get your rs armor?

Would anyone have suggestions on where to get better lens and padding for the rs helmet? I got mine and Therascalking nailed it.

Thanks!

Thanks. I’ve seen this but I am looking for a good store bought option.

Looking to display my armor and trying to find anyone with experience here. Looking at mannequins, looks like the way they attach to the stand can be the hang up. Appreciate any ideas.

Not sure if I am the right guy to ask but I would post it in the For Sale Personal forum. It's about half way done on the main page.

Wonderful. Thanks

Thanks. Appreciate the feedback.

Here is the other side that I would like it to look like.

Anyone suggest how I close this gap? It kind of makes it egg shape and isn’t really noticeable but I know it’s there. It may go straight when on my head. Idk.

Ok. Have a helmet question and need to know add pics. Says the file is too big. Most ppl use a link box. Anyone tell what the name is so I can see if I can find it? thanks

I tried getting into MEPD but waiting on expectance. Thanks. I’ll look at these.

Ok, next question! I have been looking on here for where anyone may have found the MP-40 pouches. I see "how to build" but I think we have established I am not handy! Since I know this, I will just stay in my lane! Thought since I work in the sporting goods industry and this is exactly my area, it would be easy. Found some at www.sarcoinc.com part number MP4020 but I don't want originals. Was hoping to find someone that was replicating them.

Thanks Guys! Appreciate the advice. I did get fans ordered!! I've read this is a must. My goal is to get to the top! Looks like a lot of walking before I get running. Hoping to get to meet some of the members of my local garrison and get some more visuals! Pics are great but I am more of a hands on learner. I can sell the crap out of anything but making is not my strong suit.

I really do appreciate it.

Any opinions? Looks like I can go to ukswrath and get it all. Reading some of the links posted (thank you) it seems that there is a lot of different opinions but no real “clear” answers. So has anyone used all three Ukswrath voice, hearing, and cooling system?

I was thinking of doing the ukswrath option 8. There is a lot of talk about Amber but does anyone have an opinion on the ukswrath? (Besides price)

Thanks

Question, do you guys put fans and any kind of voice communication device in your helmets? If there a few comfort features that I should be looking for, would love to know now. If there is, any way to point me in a direction to acquire these things would be great.

That’s what I’ve come up with as well.

Unfortunately I am more southeast. Closer to Milwaukee! I ordered mine from RS! Have the same goal as you! Keep in touch if as you learn and I will do the same.

Thanks! I really appreciate it. Let me do some research and I’m sure I’ll have some more questions.

Wanted to reach out and first, introduce myself. I live in Wisconsin and been following the 501st for many years. Always wanted to be a part but with younger kids and life, the timing just didn’t worked out. Now that kids are in college and late high school, this has given me the ability to start!Since I was old enough to walk I have always wanted to be a stormtrooper. I am an outside salesman in the sporting goods industry which I’ve been doing for 15+ years and do a small amount of travel in the Midwest and Nationally. With all that said I’ve researched and researched costumes for quite a few years on and off but finally settled on RS Propmaster for my selection. I am still a few weeks out before it arrives. My next reason for reaching out is just to get the ball rolling. I would like to entertain the heavy equipment route if anyone could point me in a directions to look at some good equipment. Appreciate the time and hope to work with you in the future.
