I have these sitting in my closet. I'm a newbie, but I believe them to be the best buy out there and they most definitely qualify. I'm not even using mine for stormtrooper boots yet. I'm going to wear them to work for a while, then convert them.

Dam

Right,I just changed gears. Starting over.

Welcome Scotty.

Tall guys get to do all the cool stuff.

Yeah the tunnel vision made me think twice about that costume.

Man I don't even know what a butt joint is except as it applies to house building.

**** i'm laughing.

Thanks again for all the great advice and thoughts. I believe that my armor is actually of good quality, but I do still have the ability to stop and buy different armor. The RS and TM armor do indeed pique my interest.

And are there any pics of the actors out of costume? What was their build?

Wow so much armor! Good advice. Yeah, as you may have noted, i'm a little confused about how it should really fit. It appears I have more meat than many , and i'm trying to adjust accordingly. I also have more grey hair! Literally. By meat I mean muscle, obviously.

Can you tell the difference on initial exam between AP and TM and RS? What would strike you the most? Why would it bother you? How would that relate to the original movie vs the idealized stormtrooper? For those of you that have built multiple varieties, what was easier about certain builds? Did duplication of sides / parts come into play? I have read some of the threads on whitearmor, but I'm not completely sure how to weigh it all. Yes I have armor and have begun a build, but it is a bit more wonky than I had anticipated.

I am wondering if I should bail on my AP right now and go TM, but wow that would be a lot of money sunk.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who had to look up the term "droid caller". Confess sandtroopers.

That is pretty cool

always wanted some gloves that were heat resistant to 400 degrees F.

Did you get the help you needed? I'm watching Animal House and trimming armor. "Guess what I am." "A zit. Get it?"

Good thread. I don't have time to post my progress, but it sounds like you guys accept snug biceps. I am up to 7/8 inch (22 mm) cover strips on one side, but may go to a full inch (2.54 cm) on the other side. And seriously, if I do any workng out at all , I will pop out of these things. Wish I could say the same for my abs. Thats a joke. I think abs are totally overrated.

My Dlt19 is on its way.

Wow. Yeah we'll donate.

Good times. You guys stood out.

Whoah badazz pictures.

Your English is great. Welcome.

Is it because it looks too much like a real gun?

One of us should buy them in the states and sell them proxy.
