Different armor makers use all kinds of different ABS with various purities of white. Some are stark white, others are more egg-shell or almost cream colored. It depends on which armor kit you have that will determine the correct white spray paint you'll need. You may have to buy a few different cans and do some color testing. Good luck!

Aw yeaaaaah!! Lookin' good!

I don't think the EI badge has ever been made into a patch. There are only the rocker patches (EI and Centurion). I know there were metal EI badge lapel pins made at some point...

Honestly, it looks pretty good as is! It looks like there's still some strap you could shorten. Maybe another 1/2" and you're there.

Looks great, Riley! EIB in no time!

Congrats, Brian! Awesome work! Cloud City is lookin' good!

Read the "Getting Started" threads. You'll find everything you need to know there. Read and research. Good luck!

Hi Everett, I think you'll need to contact your GML and have them make the adjustment in the membership database.

Wow. So, they decided to completely scrap the horrible first helmet sculpt and then just recast an eFX bucket after 4 weeks (?!?), then try to pass it off as just having "made a few changes"... The guy that did the initial sculpt was on Face-Off a few seasons ago.

Awesome build, Joe!

http://www.starwarshelmets.com Lots of good info on this site.

That's the way it goes at first for everyone.. You can't tell the difference between an FX and an RS suit. They all just look like Stormtroopers! I spent about a year on this website (reading, studying, looking at build threads, asking questions, learning all the acronyms) before I got my big brown box. Just hang out here for a while... You'll start to get it.

...Not really understanding your concern either. Your reasoning doesn't make sense. Of course Anovos kits can be built to centurion. From what I understand, those who have achieved centurion have made some mods to the pre-built helmet, and the rest of the armor is just as good as any other kit out there. Scrap the belt, fit the armor to you perfectly, meet all the CRL requirements, and boom.. you're centurion. Seriously.

That's not a bad price, really... The Alpha 75 suits didn't come with boots, and the price on those was around $1,900, with boots being in the $100-150 range. I guesstimated this kit costing about $2,500+ once it hit the general public. If I had the money, I'd be all over this...

Congrats, Daryl! Welcome to the ranks!

Top notch, Daryl! Looks awesome!

Congrats, Daryl!! Helpin' Cloud City look goooood!

Hey Rat, I think you're looking at the wrong kind of chemical gloves. Not the expensive PVC gloves, you want the rubber gloves around $5 per pair. Try Home Depot, or trooperbay.com The Home depot gloves are quite a bit thinner rubber than the ones trooperbay carries. I tore mine in half trying to squeeze them on. Trooperbay's are pretty sturdy.

Lookin' good, Daryl!!! EIB in no time!

Ah, the Parjai Airborne Clonetrooper. One of my favorite clones! Love the unique "beehive" helmet. Here's where you want to start looking: http://501stclonetroopers.com/forum/

NOPE! Don't do it! Looks like the typical inaccurate FX recast. Most armor kits on ebay are. I know the price looks good, but you'll get what you pay for. I did the same thing when I first started.. searched ebay, amazon, googled 'stormtrooper armor', looked all through originalstormtrooper.com... Everything you need is right HERE at FISD. Now that I've said that... the ONLY armor maker on ebay worth buying from is from seller 'mtk_armory'. Thats TK-4510 from trooperbay.com. Good service, quick delivery, affordable, and accurate!

Congrats, Tim!!

MTK = Mike TK-4510 of Imperial Sands Garrison, also the guy behind Trooperbay.com. Pretty much the ONLY seller on ebay worth buying armor from.

My opinion... Drinking while in armor = Bad idea. Even more-so, being around other people who are drinking. Aside from the obvious dehydration and bathroom break issues, I definitely wouldn't wear my armor to a Halloween party or any place where friends or strangers are drinking and/or getting the least bit rowdy. I've heard stories from a few people who've been smacked on top of the helmet repeatedly, arms thrown over their shoulders, and given over-zealous bear hugs that almost knock them over... Not fun, and can be pretty painful. I'd advise keeping your armor for trooping and think of a different costume for Halloween parties. You'll see what I mean when you realize how much time and money you put into your armor and just how uncomfortable it can be wearing for long periods of time. It's just not worth the risk.

SO GOOD! I could watch these 'Honest Trailers' all day...
