You'll do well with either armor maker. If one fits your budget better than the other, well that helps make the decision IMO. For the differences between the movie suits head over to www.starwarshelmets.com. Then reading the CRLs here will make it clearer for the distinctions.

Humbrol #5 or Testors #1138 for the gray. Can't remember if it's gloss or satin black for the vocoder. Scootch also has a tutorial for buckets: http://forum.whitear...=1

Halloween, the great incentive for getting builds done. Welcome aboard guys

Approved, Jimmy.

Welcome Patrick, 99.9999% of the members here buy their armor, that other .0001% consists of the armor makers that are members here. So maybe you were meaning you wanted to buy an assembled set of armor? As Jenny mentioned I'd stay away from assembled kits as it's much harder to re-assemble and trim it to fit you when it's already been fit to someone else. With the tutorials here and all the build threads you'll be able to put your suit together. All it takes is thorough reading and some patience. I don't see where you're located, but your local garrison will be instrumental as well.

Fit looks good, but it would be easier to look at if you attached larger, separate pictures.

Welcome Aboard Jenny!

Just make sure to wear gloves and clothes you don't mind trashing. If memory serves me correctly, that expanding foam is a PITA to get off both skin and clothing.

I've seen that vodka before, but didn't know that Dan Akroyd was behind it. Pretty cool.

In case I ever needed to put anything in it. It's secure with elastic holding it on from the outside but I can pop it off if I needed to. Haven't used it yet but who knows.

I had to have E6000 under the end of the elastic as well as over the top sealing it to the plastic. This was on the end cap on my TD so YMMV. Didn't look like just putting the glue under the end of the strap would hold it over the long term though.

Approved.

I think FX is the only make with a fused kidney and butt plate.

Approved you both
