The plastic on my suit is more of a satin finish than gloss,so would not be wanting to paint the helmet too shiny.

My suit was made when Ross was using a very bright white abs,that he can't get any more. They might match (Waiting on the kit to be posted) but have a feeling RS use the creamy off white for theirs.

Hi all I've just purchased a helmet kit from RS , that I plan to wear with my RWA armour and will be painting it to closely match the colour of that. I don't plan to paint it green to replicate the original pp ones,just primer then a nice gloss top coat. I recently stumbled upon a video of someone painting first order armour and they mentioned wet and dry sanding before primer,then wet and dry sanding the primer before the topcoat. Would this still apply to paiting a TK Lid,as I know the RS one has all the lumps and bumps that I wouldn't want to remove and also TK Lids do have some tight corners where sanding might not reach. I have been watching cable guy's videos on painting helmets and they do not mention anything about wet sanding prep or between coats,so anyone feel free to drop in with any advice

I recently sold my E11 as I prefer my DLT. Do I still need to wear the holster on my belt or can I get a new one minus holes for the holster? I know there are a few troopers on the Death Star without holsters who carry DLT's,namely one of the scanning crew on thr Falcon,so thought it best to ask here for clarification

Seems the popular choice is a Sandy,if you want a cool backpack pouches and look a bit dirty. I've got my eyes on this as something that has no extras that need hacking off. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295465726070?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20250324083038%26meid%3D54faaad37cb04ee996ada038df659089%26pid%3D101952%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26mehot%3Dpp%26itm%3D295465726070%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DWatchlistVariantWithMLR_BP%26brand%3DSealey&_trksid=p4375194.c101952.m162921&_trkparms=parentrq%3A57b2e8321960ab1f833c5b9effffe4e8|pageci%3Ad01a1072-1e93-11f0-ab0e-120a96a34266|iid%3A1|vlpname%3Avlp_homepage I've seen a few on here use this one but needs the ends hacked off,which I can do but might leave horrible looking holes that need filling etc https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/146251005333

Hi there I'm Sam from the UK. Recently had my TK cleared by the UKG. Not managed to get to an induction Troop yet but thought I should at least join up on here!

Hi there My name is Sam and I recently had my ANH Stunt TK cleared by the UKG Am yet to do my induction Troop but already have the bug to build the extras so I can switch between a regular TK and a HW one. I have been searching high and low for a suitable oil drain container as the base for the pack and unsure on what to buy. It seems the Garage Boss one is forever discontinued and I think it was never available in the UK anyway. It would be great if any UK/European HW Troopers could chime in with any advice and I can also link to some I've found which MIGHT be suitable. I can pretty much get the other components easily here in the UK no problem.
