My .02, I have the eFX Stormie, and it is a beautiful helmet. Very sturdy, very heavy, it is wobbly so it differs from the symmetry of the MR CE helmet. The eFx lid is the same as the MR limited edition, except for a cleaner frown paint job and the paperwork/plaque/etc. I placed it side by side with a TE HDPE and although they look similar, the eFx looks a bit bigger and a bit thicker with not as much of a stye. One thing I would not do is troop in it though, but it is very comfortable with its plushy interior to walk around the house and harass the dog Happy Holidays!

I'm always amazed at these interiors. I'm lucky if I can pack my giant head and the lens in mine

Whats the price difference in a flawed kit?

I tried putting them at the vents as suggested above, and I don't know if its the size of my melon or the fact that I have facial hair, but the fans couldn't spin because my face was in the way. I found that down near the chin was a bit better, but not alot of airflow. Always curious if anyone places fans on the top of the bucket facing down.

Wish I had your problem Colin, I have to screw my bucket on and off without the padding

HOW TO REQUEST: Bucket Electronics
Mr_Vader replied to Mr_Vader's topic in Assembly, Mods, and Painting
Well you guys are busy, I can appreciate that , so with the help of Ruf: ----- I figured it out. So the grocery list: 2x 12vdc Brushless Mini Fans - $12.99 each 5x AA Battery Boxes - $1.69 each 1x 15w Soldering Iron - $8.99 1x Rocker Switch - $2.99 8x AA Batteries (I forgot, so I have some remotes with no power ) 45' of 18 Gage Wire - $5.99 (didn't need, the wire attached to the battery boxes was enough) They didn't have 3/8" wire tubing at Radio Shack, so I picked up two packs of 5' at AutoZone for $2.98 Following the tutorial above, a little bit of velcro, a dremel, a drill, some electrical tape and a quite house, I got the whole thing built and installed in the lid within 4 hours. Whole project cost me about $65 and was surprisingly easy to do. The toughest part was installing it in the lid with a little style, I gave it a shot so I'll take some photos later. -
hey guys, I'm putting together a grocery list for Radio shack, and wanted to get definitively what I need first for a fan system, second for the mic/speaker system. Right now I have an RT bucket, nothing installed. From researching the other threads, this is what I came up with for the fans, please feel free to correct or add anything: 5x Enclosed 2xAA Battery holders, 4 for batteries, one for rocker switch 1x rocker switch (voltage?) Wire (size/type?) Wire Tubing Fans: 2x Brushless/Bearing-less 12v CPU fans or Squirrel Cage 12v fans 1x soldering iron 1x solder (special type?) I'm pretty handy, but have not worked on small electronics, so I'm sure I can do this, just need a little specific help. After I tackle this, I'll start with the sound system, have to get ready for the Clone Wars troop!

Thought I'd bump this from the dead, has anyone seen this? Scoobacca on the rebelscum boards pointed it out, an unreleased Marmit 12" figure, thought it would be helpful for some of you guys hoping to make a spacetrooper backpack Rest of the photos: Marmit Unproduced 12"
