Far away creations is MonCal's website. Nice stuff but he has crazy long wait times, sometimes going over a year.

Who made your Navy Trooper helmet?

You can get it from Amazon pretty cheap. Most people have switched to Mcguire's mirror glaze which can be found at most auto parts stores.

Here is a link to the ARFs.

Ladysewforus makes great neckseals, I have two.

Best place I know of to get under armor reasonably and free shipping:
http://www.sportsdepot.com/index2.html

SpecOps has had a new website and forums for a while now:

These are great too.

Helmets made by this seller are terrible. For the price you could get a MLC which are the best of the best.

Good luck.

Who is 'SPAT' anyway?

Ask that in the 501st only area and I'll answer as such negativity shouldn't be posted in public.

Never heard of Mctprops. What's the story?

Here is a great tutorial that helped me. Not the same kit, but close enough.

How do they compare (aside from price) to the Rolf/Scootch pauldrons?

I'm 6'2" 210lbs and I wear TE style armor. It fits better than my FX because the thighs, shins, and biceps are longer, and the forearms, butt, and ab plate are bigger. Also the helmet is bigger than the AP that I used to have. TE on the left, FX armor AP helmet on the right. http://i168.photobucket....

Just a heads up, it took them 4 months to redo my robe. I finally got it last week.

They also make corrected lenses for dive masks. They are a little pricey but should work great for a helmet. Plus they are big enough to cover the whole lens in the helmet.

Laird doesn't carry double smooth ABS, only haircell. Here is a good company that has reasonable shipping. You'll want 80 gauge.

Just be cautious of the complete soft part sets on ebay. They are tissue paper thin, and will need major work and some parts replaced to be acceptable.

RT also comes pre-trimmed. Although trimming is pretty easy so don't let that deter you from getting an AP kit.

You don't have to use all the lines in the decal either. Screen used helmet had anywhere from 9 to 15 stripes per side.
