Bondo'd mine. came out well enough and even gave it a bit of "dented" look in spots...BONUS!! The light green foam, about 1/4 " thick works real well! Sorry, it's a helmet, you're gonna get toasty in...

Xwing, you don't install the amber visor over the clear, you use the pattern he made for the styrene cut out to trim the clear visor to. where he put the 2 drill marks on the pattern are where you'll...
Feel free to add me to your yahoo or AIM IM's X-Wing. I'm often on and could anser Q's you may have pretty quickly
X-wing, he's slow with the helmets, but it's worth the wait! I assure you. It was 2 months for mine! I bugged him every week, but he's understanding
No it's not needed to get into the Legion, but you'd feel out of place trooping without them. Even if you have to squeeze into a rubies for a few weeks, it's a good start.
Great Vest! That looks...
AlderaanBase will be representing near Hartford CT. We'll be at FYE in the Buckland Hills mall on the 12th at 6pm. Also in Connecticut, expect to see the 501st ConnSquad at the Best Buy in Newington!...

So the consensus is that the Vader conversion works 95% or so for the Anakin as well? Barring the difference between the DIN blade and the standard wiring. It's amazing how much a small peice of...
You can usually join on to your local RL forum page for forum access, like we do at AlderaanBase. You just have limited access to certain forum topics like base command and organizational stuff. But...
I tin the wires. It's faster when you're acting like a Mongolian Contortionist holding the two wires AND trying to solder them together with a hot iron. What burn? I never burn.[;)] Besides, it's a...

Well, a while back I ran the idea around here of doing a "Padawan Ceremony" for a young family friend who was battling Lukemia. Well He's WON his battle and will be in full remission after his next...
No way on the helmet. I dropped too much with Tim when the Anakin conversions came out[:p] Maybe after I sell two I'll be able to buy stuff to geek with some more. You'll like the final product with...
I didn't bid!! I won't stab anyone on these boards like that. Just letting you know[:D]
IF you can't get it, let me know because I would be interested if you don't go after it. Hey, I drive X-wings...
You may be able to find PVC blasters that were custom made. There are plenty of tutorials for em, and they look great.
I'm going to keep an eye on that helmet. I e-mailed to see if it's an APH-6B, a...
The Elvis Trooper does good work! My code cylinders came from him as well. I'd like to get ahold of one of the accurate belt buckles, Loreen, do you know who I could talk to on that?

Funny, the rubies helmet is on a 3' stuffed Donald Duck right now in my computer room.[8D] I'll take a pic and try to set it up tomorrow. It was my wife's idea because I had my new one on him with...
All I Have in there, and I finished what you see 3 hours before the event, are 5 small pads from a bike helmet. I need to add considerably more, as well as 2 ear cups and the mic. I also need to...
Ultimately it depends on how accurate you want to be. Here's a pic of me in my new helmet from this past weekend.

Mine's vinyl, so it's flexible. What a lot of people do is add wood and fiberglass stiffeners. Still, it's pretty thick
"They told me they fixed it!!! It's not my fault!"
As an entry level helmet, it's better than it's rebel counterpart. You still need to make modifications such as lenses, fixing the "ears" and getting a suspension set up, like a hard had liner so it...
