Finally came. Except for a bit of a miscut in the helmet, for which Rob is sending out a replacement, I am ready to get started

Let's see, where to screw up first

I'm sure I'll post a few questions as I go along

When I asked the same question here a few months ago, a couple of people PM'd, so you should get your answer soon. I believe that there is also a post at FISD/whitearmor about selling them.

Good luck

The RT-Mod armor was built for a person 6'0" and 220#. The FX should also fit you as well. In fact, with your weight, it seems (by what searching I have done) that most would fit you. The problem, as I understand it, is in the circumpherence of your arms/forearms/thighs/legs rather than height or ab...

Welcome

Welcome from Orland Park (a Chicago Suburb for those who don't know )

Tons of help here.

I am waiting on my armor to arrive ATM

While waiting on my RT-Mod to arrive ( :( ) I have been looking at several builds on here/youtube/other sites. Almost all of them talk of gluing one side of the extremity pieces and velcroing the other. It seems to me that if I am a good fit, the thigh/bicep/perhaps forearms could be glued on both s...

Ah, here it is: Grand Army of the Republic Highway Major William L. Anderson, Jr., of the U.S. Army conceived the idea of designating U.S. 6 the Grand Army of the Republic Highway to honor the Union forces during the Civil War. Based on his recommendation, the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War...

Welcome

I'm just up U.S. Route 6 from you, which is oddly described on Wikipedia as the "Grand Army of the Republic Highway"

Who knew

I am trying to get together parts for the RT-Mod helmet that's coming my way. I would like to try the Walmart voice changer (4.5V) with 2 12V computer fans from Radio Shack. My question relates to how to BEST power it: -Now my simple mind is telling me I need 11 AA batteries (8 for fans, 3 for the v...

Mainly price is important to me because I can just make mods myself but first of all I need armor and until I get payed I need to find someone or some place that will sell armor at a good price! OK, OK gotcha. You want a quote and a name. Difficult thing is the forums don't do that here. The policy...

Looks great (Love the 2-tone "battle damage" )

Ugh, I haven't even started putting together a TK and already I want a Boba.

I think I'm going to need therapy for this hobby

I want an FX armor kit because it is the most movie accuret Ummmmm, Welcome :) I would REALLY look at this forum and perhaps the Stormtrooper Detachment ( http://www.whitearmor.net ) before you come to the conclusion that it is the most accurate, for it is not. Certainly affordable as you said, and...

It LIVES! :twisted: Amazing how topics come back from the dead sometimes. Thank you both for posting. I may take you up on that Mokena/Orland connection. I could use all the help I can get. (PS - I was the quiet guy at the build party in Cal City. The guy that didn't speak "your language" of costumi...

Umm, welcome to the land of Lincoln and Cheese

My God, is that beautiful

Could you take me on a tour of what is what in there? I think I am seeing what I would hope my helmet would end up looking like.

Thanks all for your help

May I ask what those reasons are?

While I'm waiting on the RT, I thought I'd ask on what people prefer in the interior fit of their helmet. I've heard of a few different ways but was wondering if anyone could add any opinion, pro/con, where to buy, etc..; or is it just a "6 of one/half dozen of the other" type of thing? Thanks in ad...

OK Got the Hasbro and the conversion kit ordered. (I know, I know, I want to play with the lights and peuw peuw sound a bit before I get serious) Got the holster coming from FISD Getting a list ready for Menards to get velcro/RW black gloves/clamps/glue/etc. Question. I see davcon plastic weld and "...

Thanks to all who responded to my earlier questions. I just pressed the button on an RT-Mod set :D Now, as I have about a month to wait, I get to go nuts thinking about all the "other" stuff I need. I am trying to assemble a suit that would get elite status (RT-Mod fits my 6'1' 215# frame, so I am a...

Welcome Alan

New here as well. We seem to be starting at the same point here in armor research. A few hundred PM's later and we should be done, LOL

Good luck and happy armoring
