A couple of quick question... where did you get the gloves and the pants for your costume? Are they the standard Imperial Jodhopurs?

I need to get pairs for myself! :D

Or a Female Imperial Officer? Or she could become one of the Deadliest Dames in the GALaxy, a BLACK WIDOW of JRS.

The suppliers who have been around a while know to keep a low profile and stay out of trouble. Problems in the past were because of websites with prices and order forms for unlicensed goods. C&D's will find the uncareful ones. That's my take as well .. ....Low Profile = outta sight outta Mind. As l...

The thing is.....is that the Helmet , should be worn in proportion to the height of the person wearing it . I think that is what you are alluding to correct ? A SHORT person wearing an FX helmet , will look like a Bobblehead because it is too large . But put that SAME helmet on a person over 6 foot ...

While i don't wear the "White "myself.....all i can offer to tell you is that the majority of the 501st membership wears the FX Armor suit . Mainly because it is more"flexible " for fitting to larger sizes . Just be aware , that Lucas Films has JUST signed a License agreement with a company in Atlan...

You made the correct choice by asking for help here first . There are quite a few options available . And some of them are pretty poor quality . I am sure you will get a few Private Messages here that will lead you in the right direction . In the mean time, checkout this excellent website .............

The "Ears " , are made from a 2 piece wood base , then covered in plastic sintra. Then bolted thru to the inside of the helmet and shield. btw..............DRILLING thru a REAL ww2 helmet was impossible . That thing was MADE to stop bullets ! I had to CUT my way thru it for any bolts ! :lol: :lol:
