AWOL Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) I think the average delivery time for an RS suit is between one and two months . <br> So, at the maximum , two months for a tailor made screen accurate suit of complete ready to wear armour . <br> I consider this to be excellent service . But still people complain .<br><br> For some reason , other members are prepared to wait seven to twelve months for American suit kits , not built kits ,many never complain ,.... And in the case of the Anavos offer, wait over a year, after paying up front , and still only get a kit of parts . <br><br> I think it fair to say that RS have the best service available for troopers . I've waited since 1977 for mine, another 2 months is hardly going to be a problem... gives me time to, Erm, oh there's nothing I have to do but wait ho hum... Are we there yet? if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does... Edited March 5, 2016 by AWOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStormTK[TK] Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I like this video very much, greatly done. Do you have one wearing/dressing the armor? Here is a video showing how to put the RS armor on: https://youtu.be/9swLtgjoqaQ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekard[501st] Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Thanks for the vid's. I'm so anxious. My comission date was yesterday, so hopefully I get the tracking number or shipment notification this week. I know they just moved to a new studio this past week so might push us all back a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGHtrooper21 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 you can't go wrong with RS if accuracy is what you're after. Superb people offering a quality suit! Been trooping in mine for over 4 years now, and definitely no regrets here. Go for it! They make for a great display piece as well: Nice!!!!

Dekard[501st] Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Mine came in today, took some preliminary pictures. Took almost 8 weeks to the day. Well worth it. My neck seal popped out on the last image and my detonator is upside down and forgot to snap on my belt. BUT ITS AWESOME!! ->> Pics of my suit: http://imgur.com/a/444Ef Unboxing Vid: (Not as good as IceStormTK's) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faJKsMHpFI8 Edited March 26, 2016 by Dekard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you did a great job with giving them good measurements to build from. Your video is great, and it's just as good as mine, because it gives us a different perspective of what's coming from that awesome pair of brown boxes. Shooting videos is a lot more difficult than most people think, and you put yourself out there fearlessly anyway. Right on! Keep it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekard[501st] Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) Thanks IceStormTK! I'm totally stoked, it fits great! I took my submission pictures I sent off for 501st approval. Love the suit. I highly recommend it for anyone on the fence. Now finding getting a box to store it in while not wearing it and will probably switch out to a hard lens. http://imgur.com/a/ExZ53 Edited March 27, 2016 by Dekard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryback-TK63500[TK] Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 mine is from RS and i am very happy with this armor since 2014. i have only little problem with legs, they are little too much long and hard to walk without to be hurted behind knees. i need fix that later but armor is very accurate and perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWOL Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Seems they prioritize overseas orders as I ordered mine a day before another member but my build date is over a week later... that's no moon, Kim Kardashian is bending over again...

Also do i want flat or bubble, 1 or 2 piece, dark or light green??That depends what you intend doing, the stunt won't be approved at all if you put bubble or smoked lenses in it, they need to be flat green...No point changing them as far as I see... that's no moon, Kim Kardashian is bending over again...

AWOL Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) From the 501st crl page... Helmet For 501st approval: Lenses are flat material, green in color, sufficiently dark enough to obscure the costumer's eyes. And that's for basic approval... that's no moon, Kim Kardashian is bending over again... Edited April 8, 2016 by AWOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagedzi[TK] Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Yes, definitely flat green lenses. You can replace the thin acetate one (it is the most accurate, but flimsy) with a thicker one from TrooperBay or other source. You local hardware or welding store may even carry face shields that are the same material as TrooperBay's. Look for a Shade 3 plastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthShinzu[501st] Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 My RS took about 2 months, but switched from TK to TD. I need to make a few mods but it's awesome. Check it out... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bells0[TK] Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Collected mine direct from RS last Friday. Super happy with it. Just waiting on the neck seal as they had none left [i pestered them to make it for my Birthday, which was the day i collected]. Hope it turns up to complete the outfit and my submission.

bells0[TK] Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Wow - armor fits you like a glove. What's your height and weight? Cheers buddy 6ft tall, a shade under 14 stone [190lbs]. I had a measuring session with them when i ordered, not sure just how accurate to those measurements they are made. They did alter the back a little whilst i was there and lower the arms a little too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
