  1. I'm not sure why anyone would spend $300 for this. If you wanted a HIPS set of armor, get the ATA set. It will include the lenses, brow and neck trim, and mic tips! Plus none of the cracks in the helmet. By the time you buy all those extras yourself, you would have been money ahead on a set of ATA.
  2. That almost makes me want to build a TX! Seriously, other than having a black interior - what would be the advantage to having the black hips that still would be painted gloss black?
  3. be sure to use some sort of deglazer first to remove the old oils. I used mineral spirits. could use http://www.shoetreemarketplace.com/Meltoni...rer_p/10041.htm if you want official stuff. Then use meltonian new life color spray. It worked pretty well. http://www.shoetreemarketplace.com/Meltoni...pray_p/1003.htm
  4. correct - TKboots in the middle on the above pictures. Darkside trooper boots (by Dan111h2o) are on the left. My self painted chelsea boots are ont he right.
  5. You are welcome, I am glad to actually contribute something of value... I have learned so much from everyone else here about so many things. I suspect someone else would have posted sooner or later, as it sounds like these were just acquired by the seller. Thank goodness he is so good at communication, even after you have sent paypal!
  6. Here are some comparison pics: Darkside trooper boots (size 12) on the left, TKboots (12) middle, painted chelseas (12) (johnson and Murphy's) on the right. I wore them for several hours around work. They fit well to me. I wear a 12 or 12.5 in most shoes. The TKboot 12 fits well. I would say the width is normal, certainly not wide but NOT narrow. The Darkside are definitely wider.
  7. I am wearing mine at work today - got a few funny looks. Mine were shipped by USPS priority mail Friday, arrived Monday. Derek
  8. Paul, Is that one of the Cargo Strap belts? Armor looks NICE! Will the helmet also be made out of similarly thin material, or will it continue to be the same thickness?
  9. I am going to say they run right on. I ordered a 12. I usually wear a 12 - occaisionally 12.5 in some shoes. they feel great on me. Being leather, I suspect there may be some stretching, if so, I can add an insole---- these are perfect for me!
  10. The boots arrived this AM. I will take pictures when I get home tonight, and review after wearing them for a while. I am very pleased.
  11. send him an email, tell him what you want, he will send you the total for your requested goods... then send paypal.
  12. Got my USPS priority mail tracking number this morning!!!! looks like a Monday or Tuesday delivery to Iowa (as long as the tractors don't slow down traffic too much, it is harvest season you know)

    Boots

    sorry, started a new thread here http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=8446
  14. If I had not purchased twice from the same seller in the past, I would be skeptical too. I agree the site looks a little odd. I will post pictures, and review as soon as mine are in. ( I have no association with the seller, other than a repeat satisfied customer).
  15. http://www.tkboots.com/Contact%20Us.html the email address on this page is probably familiar to most of us. I sent my paypal today. I will post when I get mine.
  16. I don't think this has been mentioned here yet - I just got the approval from the seller to mention it to my friends - http://www.tkboots.com/ Got mine on order already. he said 95 pairs are in stock. I have purchased 2 separate orders from this seller in the past of different items. He is quick with communication and shipping.
  17. first difference is the material - AP is ABS. ATA (at least for now) is HIPS. HIPS must be painted, and is a little less durable. Details are felt to be sharper in HIPS. I have one of each. Like them both for different reasons.

    Boots

    How does this look?
  19. anyone attach elastic to the shin pieces in a stirrup style band that would course under the foot to keep the shin piece down? Mine seem to rise up too much, I have attached velcro to the boot - it restricts the bending at the ankle too much.
  20. ATA, i have a helmet. see------------ 6th post down for contact info.
  21. I thought that the VT helmets are from 2 sources - his Hero from the AP, the stunt from the TE? Cant find the post. Please correct if I am wrong. to the OP - there were some threads that mentioned AP "seconds" a few months ago. Not sure how cheap they run. ------
  22. does it come with velcro already attached? can you take pictures out of the package?
  23. What is a fair price for a MG34 Hyperfirm? Assuming the A grade, in apparently new condition. (no DLT19 conversion yet) Is there any way to tell if one is a "B" grade (I read one thread where it was stamped somewhere on the gun - anyone know where?) I have not seen any recent for sale threads - older ones had fairly wide price ranges. This is not a want to buy thread... I already have one in mind, just wondering what is a reasonable price. Derek
  24. I am bookmarking this page, to show my wife that I don't have too many.
  25. Way to go Central Garrison!... well done. (one TK needs an arm adjustment... either the bicep was too high or the forearm too low.) Derek
