[Where to get Armor - Resource/Tutorial List]

Hey there, on the brow and necktrim sites, I need some help. Any advice on part #'s when I get to the sites? Not really sure what to buy, I am looking for the sticky FX/GT trim that is puffy, black and shiny with adhesive and the bottom helmet trim to cover the plastic. MTFBWY!

 

 

The Imperial Quartermaster of course! But for those of you not in a galaxy far, far away, try these sources:

 

E-Bay

1. Search on www.ebay.com for "stormtrooper armor"

2. Be careful of poor quality home-made armor.

3. Look for good definition and sharp detail on the various pieces.

4. Most kits come pre-assembed and ready to wear.

[Trooper Comm Interface - Taking Pre-orders Now!]

Is there a click at all or just that noise? Doesn't really sound like real static burst and it didn't really mod your voice at all....is it adjustable?

 

 

 

Not sure of the wattage, but I will check. Also, they're looking into upping the sound output. If you're interested, get your orders in now! http://www.troopercomminterface.com/

[HOWTO: Sound System]

Just curious if anyone knows the secret to preventing feedback.....these speakers look pretty nice and they are big. I tried putting speakers in my bucket last year and tried covering them with all kinds of stuff and nothing seemed to work. Anyone have any solutions?

 

 

 

Thanks Wyatt, look forward to the update.
