First off, the mods to your pack look awesome! Secondly, if that is the new HWT in that pic, you can forget about ever being able to move your head wearing that helmet and tube, even though it looks so cool!

I saw one of these helmets in the Disney store a couple of days ago and the phrases are very clear and VERY LOUD!

What size with the patch be?

Looks fantastic! Good luck!

Awesome job, looks fantastic!

Thanks for saying this Tim, it really sums it all up: "Working on my armor and helping out at events is the bright days of my month where I don't think about any of the problems, family, work."

Yes, I had very thick padding on the straps.

The pack looks incredible! I too am curious to know how heavy it is. I had a HWT pack that I trooped with and it was only 7 lbs, but after 45 minutes of wearing it, the pain would set in on my shoulders and would be excruciating and I had to get it off.

Is it me, or do these troopers look stockier/thicker than the OT troopers who were pretty thin.

I guess I just don't understand why this helmet would not be acceptable under any circumstances. A blanket statement denying this helmet makes no sense. Why?

It was mentioned in the most recent newsletter that the Master replica's Collector's edition (MRCE) and the EFX helmet (based of the same moulds as the MRCE) would no longer be acceptable for basic 501st acceptance. I am wondering why this is? I know that there are little things that need to be done in order to make it more accurate, but I'm confused as to why it would altogether not be accepted, even with mods. I was approved with my helmet back in 2009. The mods I made were: -trimmed and raised the brow -filled in the mouth seam with caulking -expanded and repainted the teeth -took off the tube strips and put more accurate ones on. --------

I want this so bad but $100 for it? I can't swing that right now. I want someone to buy this and put it on their roof and post pics!

Just found this on Pinterest:

It's probably just fan art. Think about it: no other images/sketches from Ep. 7 have been out yet at all, I doubt they'd let this slip.

Nice job Romen, keep going!

I've made a pair of TB boots for my biker scout and those don't look anything like them. Plus TB's don't need to wear spandex leggings, they wear a loose jump suit.

Exactly, that's why I'm reluctant to really get my hopes up.

Really? That's great! What sources are there that demonstrate this?

An extra was spotted on location wearing what looks like stormtrooper boots: PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE let this mean that there will be stormtroopers in the next film!

Looks very nice to me, but I'm not a blaster expert like some on these boards are.

Mine was an Autism walk in July of 2009. I remember an autistic child came up to me and tried to take my helmet off of me and ended ramming it up into my face!

Good luck Romen, keep us posted on your progress.

I don't want to run in it, I want to troop it!
