If I had been the writer... I would have kept Maul Alive thru the whole 3 movies and in the final one I would have had Vader to Kill him and taking "his place at the emperor?s side" and thus crowning himself as an even deadlier sith lord than Maul. But then again... i?m not GL. And Fett...Damn! He?s a walking weapons platform!! why didn?t Lucas remebered that he had a flame thrower, venom darts, grenades, a mini missile, poison gas bombs, thermal detonators, two blasters, a mini blaster in the wrist bracelet...ETC! Damn, If I had Been Jango I would have shot everything at him. You?re right...deaths are very unworthy when they come from Lucas. I guess Vader?s is the only "good" death in the saga.

We?ll I really don?t have them but troopers here do. Post that you are looking to buy any of the above helmets in the part of this forum that takes care of the selling and exchanging of items between members... some is bound to anwer you with the contact info. Good luck with that Cadet!!

Then I would suggest getting the FX on e-bay or in here with some one that wants to sell his for a more accurate and expensive helmet. or fi you want to spend the money in it get the AP, TE or ANH2 type helmets, they?re not as big as the FX and they?re more accurate to the films.

That?s an FX alright! but for an FX it?s expensive. maybe because it?s made of fiberglass. I wouldn?t really bother. The same helmet comes unassembled on the FX armor KIT. You Buy The Kit...you get that helmet but in ABS plastic. It?s nice...you?ll like it even though it?s big.

I don?t dislike him that much.... I guess what i like less in him is the fact that GL didn?t knew how to kill him in a glorious manner. Same thing as with maul.

Sure I can do push ups, run and jump in it... the jump thing is kinda messy on my legs, but the rest can be done without a problem! Thanks for the compliments on the armor, yours will look just a nice! Go Ahead man!... think no longer and DO IT!

I just couldn?t hold myself jajajaja I already had the body, gloves and neck seal waiting for it so as soon as I had it I put it toguether and it has pretty much tayed togheter the same way with the only mod that i welded some of the straps together.... now I can get it on me in less than 5 minutes without any assistance and I can sit down with it! Here?s a few pics:

I think the answer is pretty obvious. I had my FX ready within an hour with the exception of the helmet wich took me 2 days spending 4 hours each day on it. The Snowtrooper has to be completely cut and trimmed... I wouldn?t do a snowtrooper just because of this.

Not really... i?ve seen normal ppl like you wearing it and they strap and mold it around their bodies nicely. I don?t think you?ll have a problem. Once again, the issue comes with the helmet proportion for someone your size and fit. If you are able to get only the armor without the helmet then I would recoment AP for your helmet choice. It?s a really nice sculpt and will fit you frame nicely. that?s my personal opinion.

I will in about a week! Promess!!! I think its just in the way you stitch the canvas around the plastic that?ll do the trick. I plan on stitching the canvas two fold over the plastic to give it movielike thickness. We?ll see how it turns out!

Damn! Damned Buckets and damned detail worm...it bites hard!! What do I need to do to get my picture in the 501st gallery?

the thing is not so much yoour height as much as how thick you are. The FX is made in such a way that you can modify it to your particular body type. The most common Issue comes with the Helmet. You?ll find out what I mean while browsing the forum.

jajajajaa... nice vid! have?t played the game myself...is it any good?

great to know you?re getting your armor. Good Luck gettin a new bucket, If you sell your FX helmet let me know...I might find a Use for it jejeje. regards!

Sure want to.... Thanks!

Having myself put together after a cup of tea.... I guess you?re right about the 100% accurate Mark Status. It?s Shame though... a lot of us won?t be able to achieve the status "for a looong time.... a loong time" Anyway... will keep on modding for the Mark IV nonetheless, even though I know I won?t be achieving it, at least I?ll feel better about it.

How Many Mark Status troopers exist officialy today? I saw only 2... is that right?

What about those of us that don?t have the money to buy a 500 dollars bucket just to upgrade it? Have you thought about that? will we become elitist against those that just don?t have the resources to do so? Myself? It took me sooo long to get the money piled up to buy mine armor that right now upgrading my FX is OUT OF THE QUESTION... I just don?t have the money to spend on just a Helmet. And if I did i guess i would use it for my outpost charity events. Sorry to all if I sound upset but it really fires me up that some think that almost 50 to 80 % of us troopers should change our helmets and spend so much money (AGAIN!) due to a 5 cms discrepancy overall. I?m one of those that beleive that the change sould be done willingly, ?cause for as Long as the council accepts the FX to BE SOLD because THEY ACCEPT IT in the legion then it should be a choice of the accepted owner to upgrade it or not. Once again, we all agree that the new fan made buckets look more accurate and nice but they?re so expensive as to become a luxury to have one for some of us. Think about ppl that don?t have the resources to buy such expensive workmanship and please get in our shoes for a while. I?ve been accepted into the legion, yesterday to be exact, and I?m striving to achieve Mark IV Status... it would really put me off to know that I can?t strive for it because of my bucket. I will go drink some tea or something now.... need air. Sorry again for the outburst. Dargas TK-1845

that?s one sweet looking helm really. How big is it... do you have meausres? Dargas TK-1845

Daetrin... that has got to be the best idea about this mod for me to do in here. I?ll do it right away! Thanks for the Ideas guys! you are all most helpful!! Dargas TK-1845

Great looking helm there, I want to see how the innards turn out. the paint job is amazing too... can you please specify what you included on the inside and how you did it? Thanks in advace. Dargas TK-1845

I would tell you to get an AP helmet. it looks great and is normal sized. Kinda expesive though.... but worth every penny invested on it. Good Luck! Dargas TK-1845

How many of you guys have the amp and the speaker mounted on the helmet besides the fans? I see some that don?t do this mod. I just love the way TK-4205 bucket.... the realistic look it gives it is wonderful...will very much like to make mine like that. Is there a possibility that you might PM me with a list of the innards and the way you config yours? I would really apreciate it! Dargas TK-1845

It?ll be great to have your son to grow up being your best friend.... I guess, I have no kids and don?t plan on having one soon either... God Knows I wasn?t my dad?s best friend up until he became 50 and I became 30, we get along just fine now. The Armor Hating Wife Issue is extremely normal...all my friends have it! jajajajaja When I started with my wife two years ago i told her in best macho man kinda stance while secretly praying she didn?t take the wrong choice: "Baby... you have to make yourself to the idea that I?m Darth Vader and That I WILL eventually be a part of the fighting 501st as a Stormtrooper.... you might as well accept it now and be my support or we?re done right here...." Her answer was that she loved me enough to support me on this and that she was proud to know that I had such affinity to kids, being a child inside and do charity and then she asked with a funny look on her eyes: "do I get to %&"#& you while wearing the suit?" We?ve been a "happily ever after" Kind of marriage after that! She is an amazing, wonderful woman and I?m blessed by having her at my side! Going back to the actual post: You have an amazing collection there! I particularly hate for having a "reveal" Darth Vader 3 part helmet... that?s one of my dreams... to have that helmet and I don?t go over the fear of Modding mine supreme edition jajajaja. Maybe in the future! Great post! That?s what it?s defined as creative laziness? Dargas TK-1845 P.D. Pardon my english... It?s still rough on the edges.

Great Mod! I?ll try to do this Myself to improve the speaker issue on my Bucket. Thanks for the pics soldier! Dargas TK-1845
