  1. Heres a couple of examples of the sharpness between the two. Ok my HDPE on the left and the PVC on the right. Notice the differance's above the nose bridge the HDPE, Its square where as the PVC is rounder and its a bit hard to see in these photos but the corner of the mouth at the bottom of the last tooth the HDEP is alot sharper here .Over all I found the HDPE lid was shaper in every detail.
  2. Ive had both the RS PVC and HDPE and the detail is amazingly sharp on both lids but the HDPE wins hands down.The only con i can see is the plastic is green so you have to paint it and the paint chips off quite easy showing the green plasic under the white paint.However the HDPE is the same plastic that the original movie lids were made from and alot of people like the chipped look replicating the movie helmets.
  3. Plus they sent me a few small replacement parts no charge.
  4. I've brought off RS twice now, both times I got my order inside two weeks and thats including shipping to Australia.
  5. RS, TM ,CFO those kits are awesome but ATA might be worth a thought. Not quite as nice but without the hefty price tag, though I dont know if they have a build service. here a list of armour makers, it should help. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11538-the-various-types-of-armor-and-where-to-find-them/
  6. The chest definitely looks ATA to me
  7. Ive had both sets of armour and the RS wins hands down in every department.The RS helmet is sharp as a tack where as the AP lid is soft in area's. Whats your hight and weight Jason? Im asking this because the AP is a smaller fit then the RS.
  8. Well if your set on a ROTJ TK then CFO is the way to go ,CFO standing for "Cast Off an Original" so you cant go wrong there . By the way your body type would suit any of those kits.
  9. No, but its on the list. It wasn't easy,I had the seat all the way back and fully reclined.If I turned my head I could look out the back side window.Getting out was just as hard
  10. Thanks mathias, I goto do few mods, mainly to my blaster and ill be trying out for the Expert Infantryman Program. heres one of me on my way to my wife's fancy dress xmas party
  11. I dont have many photos worth showing. heres my application photo's. and one posing with a fly on my noggin.
  12. Mate head over to starwarshelmets.com, heres the linkhttp://www.starwarshelmets.com/original-ANH-Stunt-Stormtrooper-armor-helmets.htm You can see theres a lot of variants for the vocorder and you can pick the one you like.
  13. Man I laughed when you said the drill bit goes though plastic faster then you thought and into your finger ,phuck thats funny. By the way you TD clips look way to narrow.
  14. Problem solved and Id like to thank you Vern, all I had to do was change the possion of the back of the belt. "when you look closely the notch should be below the belt or close to it." Vern. Thanks everyone
  15. But it does (sceen cap),you can see the split pins are not aligned.
  16. Thanks Yeah I get you, though the shoulder straps are already pushed to there limits so I will be adding some lenght to the straps between the back and kidney. I seen your centourion request photos Dave, thats what gave me the idea that I need to lengthen the back n kidney straps. No room to raise the ab plate unfortunately. I did notice the fitting situation on some of the troopers and even Lukes, but not to this extreme. So maybe I can find a happy medium. Luke's TK.
  17. Yes they are fully functional and if you look from the back I cant lower the kidney with out creating a gap,which it looks like I'll have to do to .
  18. My torso is not lining up right at the sides ,the kidney plate is sitting up above the ab plate about an inch on both sides and my but plate is also not sitting right either. I think lengthening the straps between the back and kidney plate would fix this, but it would create a noticeable gap between them. My hight is 180cm and weight 92kgs From the back looks fine and I really dont want a gap here.The butt plate not sitting right and needs adjusting also.
  19. hey yours is an easy fix ,my stripes are painted on paint...a real b1tch to fix
  20. Nice work on the helmet. Though it looks like you made the same mistake as me and put your tube stipes on the wrong sides.
  21. looks like a recast ATA to me.
