BigSlimJimmy Posted January 6, 2016 Report Posted January 6, 2016 Hello all, I'm back from a few years of absence due to lack of money, joining the Marines, getting deployed etc. In light of the new movie my focus as a fan has now been set on slowly building a set of armor. I want to go piece by piece over time (starting with the helmet, of course). Now that I have money and time, I can start a build. I also have a few questions: -Does anyone know how to contact the manufacturer of ATA? He sells very accurate stunt helmets for a reasonable price. -Is TrooperBay a good source of trooping supplies? I haven't seen any reviews for the site and I don't want to lose any money. -What is the best speaker system for an internal build? I might end up making two helmets: One for the 501st (no guts) and one for trooping and more of a novelty (fans, speakers, mics, bells, whistles). Any and all input is welcome and will help get me started! Thanks, Jimmy Quote
supernaut11[TK] Posted January 6, 2016 Report Posted January 6, 2016 You can reach ATA at this email, ATAworks@yahoo.com. I've ordered from TrooperBay and I have been completely satisfied. I've heard nothing but good things about him on this site. I don't have any experience with the speaker systems so maybe someone else can chime in about that. Good luck and thanks for serving! Quote
Pyrates[TK] Posted January 6, 2016 Report Posted January 6, 2016 Cheers for your service mate! Trooperbay is a reliable source - I bought a helmet kit from him, and my neck seal and belt are on their way. Quote
BigSlimJimmy Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Posted January 6, 2016 Thanks for your support, guys! Thanks for the email, and I'm glad TrooperBay is reliable! I'm sure his website makes the smaller parts of the suit less of a headache. I might just scrap a speaker system and reassemble it in the helmet, I'm looking to do an all-internal helmet, wires aren't too comfortable on the body. Thanks all! Jimmy Quote
