I did. The video shows the shoulder bells. I wanted to see how the "bicep hook" system that Bluey mentioned in the vidoe worked. I am trying to get my research done before I buy my armor and this sounded interesting and I have not come across this before.
-
That is a great idea for the shoulder pouch. Bluey, can you post a video or some pictures showing how the biceps are attached?
-
How do I get one of these kits? My plan was to get a Cashman kit but it seems that was a bad idea. Thanks.

and probably can't remember.

Nice job CO.

Happy New Year from NY

That video was very cool.

I will be there with my DZ. Staying at the Rosen. Not sure if my TD will be done by then but that is something to strive for.

Great job! Merry Christmas and May The Force Be With You!

I agree, it looks better cleaned up. the dirt on the helmet was a little too symetrical. I am no expert but I thought it looked good.

Don't laugh, My bride and I came out to the imperial march at the reception.

Hi. I am Chris, DZ-563. I got tired of being framed by TD for killing Jawas so rather than beat them I have decided to join them. I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago asking for armor suggestions. Thank you very much for all of your help.
My plan is to start saving for a TD captain (with "a move along" back pack and Lawis Gun and an E-11). I am pretty sure that I am going to get a TM helmet and some ATA armor. But I am still open to suggestions.
Thanks for all of your help and have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

You guys are good! I'd like to build one - maybe stick a Tusken head on the end of it for grins.
I hear those Tuskens are a pretty tough group and probably won't take kindly to you using their friends as decorations. Sayin'

So who did the Romans steal their Coliseum idea from?

dog looks happy with it too.

Thanks Locitus for the info. I am strongly considering a TM helmet and maybe TM armor or some other armor (ATA, AM or RS- if I can get some contact info for him).
Thanks guys, this search is coming along great. I really appreciate all the help. I was hoping to get armor by May, I might be able to get it a lot sooner. Very exciting.

Hey Bluey, thanks for the input. I like the idea of a mixed set. But I worried about when the TM helmet would be available. Any idea how much a TM helmet kit would run (estimate is fine I am not holding anyone to this)? Any problem with getting one within a year? Again not holding anyone to their opinion, just looking for guidence. I don't mind taking my time and probably could wait more than a year fo the bucket. This would allow me to research and get everything slowly. I would just hate to be 18 months into it and still nothing from TM.
If I did a mix, any recomendations for a second choice bucket after TM?
Thanks troopers. I hope my enthusiasm is not becoming too annoying. I am very anal and hate waisting money and time so I want to do this right.

How can i contact the maker of RS armor?
-
Thanks iconoclasta_88
Another Question. Is HIPS the better choice? If I get HIPS will I need to paint it as well as weather it or just weather it?

DZ is a Tusken Raider. I did ANH build. Now I am dying to do the Dave Dorman Incident at Junland Wastes combo of a Sandy wearing the Tusken robes.

Thanks Bluey for the advice. The reason I put my measurements in the thread was I was hoping for opinons from the TDs that have done their own build and seen others trooping in armor. i was hoping that those TDs could give me an idea which armor would be best suited for my body type and which ones i should stay away from. I would hate to look like a fat guy in a little coat (insert Chris Farley image here).
My goals are to make a very screne accurate build with the hope of being approved by the 501st, deployed as an MEPD officer and then make to make some minor adjustments (not replace whole helmet or armor) to become SWAT. I have been looking at the Captain with the MG32(?) and the Lewis gun. I was also planning on getting backpack #3 so I can use the sterling based sidearm and qualify for multiple SWAT members is possible (my research is very cursiroy at this point).
So here goes:
1. budget 1000-1500
2. Highly Screne accurate
3. Armor suitef best for my body type (6'1", 210, thich to athletic build)
Let me know your thoughts.
By the way I just finished reading the thread on the 6 vs. 8 teeth debate. That hread was very interesting and very scary. I realise I am trying to join a very good and knowledgible group and I have a ton of reading to do.
Thanks guys.

Just wanted to introduce myself. I am Chris, DZ-5631 out of Garrison Excelsior. I have totally been bitten by the armor bug and my DZ is no longer enough. I want to start a TD Captain build. My plan is to do a SWAT build so I am going to get both long guns.
My question is this: What armor would be best for me? I am 6'1" 210lbs. I recently lost 50 lbs so I am always worried about putting some of it back on. I have an athletic build (thick thighs, thick arms, big shoulders) and I think I have a big head.
Price is not a major concern, I would be willing to wait a little longer if it meant doing it right the first time. This project is not a rushed as my DZ since I am already in the 501st.
I have been researching here and the FISD site for build threads. Does anyone have any reccomendations? I know my DZ build would not have gone as smoothly and would have not come out as well had I not done the research. I was able to cherry pick from everyone else's hard work and enginuity to make what I think is the best DZ I could make. I was just hoping for a litle help identifing some of the better builds or the ones with differing opinons.
I will see you all at CVI as a DZ but hopefully at Trooperfest or CVII as a TD. Thanks
