That looks right. But your right I cant seem to find any of that stuff...

I agree, and forgot to mention that part as well. Most of the time little kids look up under the helmet and will see your face/facial hair/bucket accessories and will start calling you a fake, etc... After getting a good neck seal, balaklava, and painting the helmet interior black, noone has said anything about me be "fake". It just looks more proffessional in my opinion, and it helps give an impression that the helmet is "sealed" and not just a helmet. Edit: Velcro, your avatar is awesome

So that it makes the lenses appear darker. That way they cant see through to see our eyes. It also looks much cooler.

remember we have kids reading this forum... Kids, ALWAYS use protection

What way I currently have it, the mic is small and is clipped on to my balaklava, pressed against my lips, so there is no wire in the helmet. You could also use a throat mic too.

I duck-taped 2 pouches that fit within the cavity of my back armor. I put my Rom F/X in one, and put the battery holders in the other. It works like a charm. That way no extra weight in the helmet.

That being said, I don't recommend rushing through it. Take the time to make a strapping kit or add some snaps or something. If you go all velcro, you will regret it down the line.

I helped someone assemble a FX TX which was a recast so it was harder to get pieces match up, and we had to do the helmet too, but we managed to do it in 3 days. If you have people helping you out and you only need to do the armor, you can do it in one night. FX armor is probably the easiest armor to assemble.

I'm sorry, what bucket? All I see is legs

I was just thinking of something similar. In episode 3, after order 66 went out, why hadn't the clones try to kill Anakin. It's not like there was a memo sent out that he was no longer a Jedi so to speak...

Wow... that is so sad...

Not if they aren't taking orders... lol! Edit: Doh! Spoke too soon. Sorry to hear about that injury Arron.

FYI, FX helmet doesn't come ready to wear, unless you buy a used one. Just like Murray said, there are armorers that will offer completed helmets for a fee. Or you can ask one of your garrison members to help you out. I know "Peter" from your garrison is pretty talented

What's with the red helmet? Is that primer?

Eh you're right, I read part of the thread and it seemed like this was another complaint thread directed at Paul, the last being about Leather belts, and I was just kinda tired of seeing that kind of stuff..

Why is everyone ganging up on Paul? Give him a break, he isn't the one recasting stuff...

That reminds me I'm going to need one soon.

You forgot to mention: You need to feel the burn of getting hot melted plastic sprayed at you from using the dremel.

I have used a Hyperdyne and a ROM/FX. They are both excellent.

Thank you, FISD, for opening my eyes. Without you, I would have been happy trooping with my FX. No seriously, thank you! Since my arrival here, I did not know that there were different types of Stormtroopers (ANH, ESB, RoTJ) Now, not only am I able to point them out, I have all the resources at my disposal to re-create that magic. Though we've been through controversial times together (recast issues, Elite program, renaming of elite program, leather belts, ) most of us have come together (though some have not,) and have had a blast learning and growing to become better at our hobby. I wish you a happy birthday, FISD! Let there be many more years of blood, sweat, and tears!

I never heard of ATA before, is this new, or a lesser known armor?

Oh no.... With all the crazy things us troopers have been doing in restrictive armor, just imagine the things we'd do unrestricted. Awesome!!!!!!

how about crumpled paper shoved down the holster to block the hole? If you can assemble armor, you should be crafty enough to block a hole

There is a reason why there isn't a master list
