Not really sure what to buy, I am looking for the sticky FX/GT trim that is puffy, black and shiny with adhesive and the bottom helmet trim to cover the plastic. MTFBWY!

TOM R Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 there seems to be a whole lot of links to dead sites that no longer exist or sites that have changed to doing other things and have no reference to trooper things <_< Quote

TOM R Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 ok sice this is a thread on where to get stuff, where can i get thermal detonator parts and helmets,don't say ebay i tried lol Quote
SuperTrooper Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 ok sice this is a thread on where to get stuff, where can i get thermal detonator parts and helmets,don't say ebay i tried lol This is a resource list, not a want to buy section. WTB helmets and armor requests are not allowed under the forum rules. If you need a detonator please start a thread in the sale section. Quote
TOM R Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 ok sorry i was looking for more like a link/resource for where these items can be procured since the links above aren't all good Quote

SuperTrooper Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 hi I'm not made of money and am a diehard starwars fan but lack the skill to produce armor of my own what should I do? Read, read, read, and read some more. Everything about getting a costume together is answered many times over. Quote
runewolf Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 hi I'm not made of money and am a diehard starwars fan but lack the skill to produce armor of my own what should I do? YES! Do not be in a hurry to get a suit. Read, read, read and ask questions. Join your local garrison. Attend an event as a squire so you can see suits up close and personal. Then make an informed decision about what you want. Don't get suckered into paying $1,000 on ebay for something that is of poor quality. I lurked here and Garison Carida's website for months before I became a member. Now I've been a member for a few months, I have just finally placed an order for my suit. Anxiously awaiting delivery!

Dearmeat Posted December 6, 2009 Report Posted December 6, 2009 The worst thing you can do is get in a hurry. Impatience and money is a bad combination. I have been on here for the past two months and I have still not decided on where to get my TK armor. There are choices, but you have to find what will work for you. Quote
vadersfist Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Unfortunately a lot of the links at the top of this page lead to dead ends or error messages... This thread needs to be updated Quote
Quinn_101 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 anyone want to take that on? maybe even (with their permission) have Forum suppliers (members or 501st and non members) be added to what ever section they belong to. Just an idea felt like throwing out there. Quote
Debater2nd[TK] Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 We'll be taking a look at this as part of the program to make this site easier for new members to use, in addition to making some other organizational content-related changes in that regard. Thanks for bringing this up! Quote
Darth-Felth Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Where in the hell do you get neck trim nowadays???? Quote
NoVATie[Admin] Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 TK 4510 sells neck trim, and I think you can also order it from Seals-Direct, but I'm not sure on the item number. http://members.cox.net/appstronaut/tk4510_decals.html Quote

Trooperik[TK] Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 Hi mates. Hope you`ve had a great holidays. I got my ANH stormtrooper armor and need to adjust the pieces. At youtube i can only find "how to build" tutorials, no adjust videos. Maby its so easy that no one made a video a bout it.. But i have a low income profession, and im terrified of cutting the armor! If i ruin a piece i have to save for a really long time to try again. My questions are among other: Tools, how to cut, measurement.Ok, thanks guys. Erik. Quote
