RS Prop Masters?

[AWOL]

I think the average delivery time for an RS suit is between one and two months . <br>

So, at the maximum , two months for a tailor made screen accurate suit of complete ready to wear armour . <br>

I consider this to be excellent service . But still people complain .<br><br>

For some reason , other members are prepared to wait seven to twelve months for American suit kits , not built kits ,many never complain ,.... And in the case of the Anavos offer, wait over a year, after paying up front , and still only get a kit of parts . <br><br>

I think it fair to say that RS have the best service available for troopers .

I've waited since 1977 for mine, another 2 months is hardly going to be a problem...

gives me time to, Erm, oh there's nothing I have to do but wait ho hum...

 

Are we there yet?

 

if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

I like this video very much, greatly done. Do you have one wearing/dressing the armor?

Here is a video showing how to put the RS armor on:

Thanks for the vid's. I'm so anxious. My comission date was yesterday, so hopefully I get the tracking number or shipment notification this week. I know they just moved to a new studio this past week so might push us all back a bit.

Nice Ordered mine  last saturday, so i have a few weeks left. Hope you will enjoy the suite.

[PGHtrooper21]

you can't go wrong with RS if accuracy is what you're after. Superb people offering a quality suit! Been trooping in mine for over 4 years now, and definitely no regrets here. Go for it!

 

They make for a great display piece as well:

 

Nice!!!!

Mine came in today, took some preliminary pictures. Took almost 8 weeks to the day. Well worth it. My neck seal popped out on the last image and my detonator is upside down and forgot to snap on my belt. BUT ITS AWESOME!! ->>

You look AWESOME, Jeremy! Looks like you did a great job with giving them good measurements to build from. Your video is great, and it's just as good as mine, because it gives us a different perspective of what's coming from that awesome pair of brown boxes. Shooting videos is a lot more difficult than most people think, and you put yourself out there fearlessly anyway. Right on! Keep it up.

[Dekard[501st]]

Thanks IceStormTK! I'm totally stoked, it fits great! I took my submission pictures I sent off for 501st approval. Love the suit. I highly recommend it for anyone on the fence. Now finding getting a box to store it in while not wearing it and will probably switch out to a hard lens.

I just received my tracking info.....it should be here 3/31/16!!!! I cant believe it is finally coming!!!

[Subgathory[TK]]

looks amazing. can´t wait for mine. 4 moore weeks, feel like a child waiting on christmas

[Ryback-TK63500[TK]]

mine is from RS and i am very happy with this armor since 2014.

i have only little problem with legs, they are little too much long and hard to walk without to be hurted behind knees.

i need fix that later but armor is very accurate and perfect.

[Optimasatin]

I received my RS armor and LOVE it......so far!!!! I havent tried it on yet!!! One thing i wanna replace right away is the green lens...... where can I get a replacement at?? Trooperbay?? Also do i want flat or bubble, 1 or 2 piece, dark or light green??

[AWOL]

Seems they prioritize overseas orders as I ordered mine a day before another member but my build date is over a week later...

 

that's no moon, Kim Kardashian is bending over again...

That depends what you intend doing, the stunt won't be approved at all if you put bubble or smoked lenses in it, they need to be flat green...

No point changing them as far as I see...

From the 501st crl page...

 

Helmet

For 501st approval:

 

Lenses are flat material, green in color, sufficiently dark enough to obscure the costumer's eyes.

 

 

And that's for basic approval...

Yes, definitely flat green lenses. You can replace the thin acetate one (it is the most accurate, but flimsy) with a thicker one from TrooperBay or other source. You local hardware or welding store may even carry face shields that are the same material as TrooperBay's. Look for a Shade 3 plastic.

[Optimasatin]

Thank You both for your help!!!

[Bluebat]

About to pull the trigger on my first armor. This is top 3 on my list .

[Gymago[501st]]

I want to post here a special "thank you " to Roy alias IcestormTK for the videos and the help with his posts and to take the RS suit.

 

I finally made my way to the troops and the 501st german garrison. i am proud to be a member and looking forward to my first troop.

Next on my to do list is hunting the expert infantry and afterwards the centurion badge.

[DarthShinzu[501st]]

My RS took about 2 months, but switched from TK to TD. I need to make a few mods but it's awesome. Check it out...

[bells0[TK]]

Collected mine direct from RS last Friday. Super happy with it.

 

Just waiting on the neck seal as they had none left [i pestered them to make it for my Birthday, which was the day i collected]. Hope it turns up to complete the outfit and my submission.

Wow - armor fits you like a glove. What's your height and weight?

[Gizzy Trooper]

I got the RS PVC and I love it. ABS goes yellow over time that's why I went with the PVC

Cheers buddy

 

6ft tall, a shade under 14 stone [190lbs]. I had a measuring session with them when i ordered, not sure just how accurate to those measurements they are made. They did alter the back a little whilst i was there and lower the arms a little too.

Hello 

     I see that the last message was in 2016 just found this thread searching through white armor      I just Ordered a Full Commission TK from RS back on 9/21/19 and they stated 8 weeks for a complete build...    I am into week 5 and I am getting excited more with every passing day..      I just hope I did my measurements right.      I ordered helmet pads,  UKWRATHS Fans and bracket,  UKWRATHS Hearing Aid, E-6000 glue and static burst from Trooper Tramp.   cant wait to start building the helmet inside
