Pnawn da Caomhanach! Its great to see another member here with Welsh connections. I have been to Holywell many times and its a very nice little town. I live near Caernarfon in the North West. Your signature says you're a member of the Seattle area garrison, is that where you live? I was in Seattle for a couple of nights back in July when I was traveling the Western US. I stayed at a hostel right across the road from Pikes Place market, next door to a strip club haha. Had an awesome time there, Washington is beautiful. Thanks for your advice on my SDS helmet guys. I think I'l leave it as it is right now. By the summer I hope to purchase another helmet and armour so I'l just weather that instead.

Is this your TM armor I saw in another thread? The weathering looks very well done, keep us updated.

Firts off Id like to introduce myself . My name is Eifion, 25 years old hailing from North Wales in the UK. I've been a Star Wars fan for as long as I can remember and the bad guys were always my favourites. About 3 years ago I became the proud owner of a AFX Stormtrooper armor but about a year ago I sold it on so I could travel the USA and Australia. I did however hold on to my SDS Stunt helmet which I bought at a discounted price because it sustained some damage. I figured it would make a great Sandtrooper helmet but in the 2 years that I have owned it I haven't done any work on it I know that opinions on the SDS helmets are divided within the prop community and I dont want to ingnite a flame war . . but I have been reluctant to convert this helmet for fear it might be depreciated somehow. The damage to the helmet includes a rather poorly re-attached left aerator. Its out of alignment with the other one but I dont mind that so much because the assymetry of these helmets are what give them so much character. The other damage is a "Y" shaped crack, about 1 1/4" long under the left chin. By the summer I hope to purchase a new scrren accurate set of armor and become a fully fledged dirty Sandtrooper Do you guys think I should convert the SDS helmet into a Sandy, given the damage or leave it as it is and just convert the helmet I'l get with my armor later in the year. Thanks guys and I look forward to discussing all things star wars and stormtrooper on the board.
