Now, that is just impressive, buddy. I cant wait to see your display of it in your collection. It's going to be next to that entertainment center, right?
I know you have posted a lot of stories to the front page today but I had to get this one up there at the top.
Hey thanks Clint. It sure has been a long time coming hasn't it. Feels pretty good. And yes, I plan on putting it up beside my entertainment center I built last year. I even created a mannequin stand today that is gonna work great to totally support it.
That is one sweet-looking costume. Very jealous!
Thanks Kualan. Lets just say it took me awhile to do it, but I am glad I did. I could easily see you doing something along this line for one of your great TFTCW characters.
Damn great looking costume Shawn.
Ron
Thanks Ron. I like my drivers the way you like your Sandtroopers. I always wonder when I am gonna see you put together a Sandy Suit.
Hey! Looking good! But I'm looking forward to seeing how you produce AT AT to go with it! 
LOL. Well I never thought I would do this, but I have so who knows. Mayber there will be an AT-AT in my future one day. I bet we see someone try to make one; perhaps slightly smaller. Bet I email em quick to get the second one.
Looking great Shawn!
how hot is it in there?
Scott, thanks. And I am telling you it is remarkably comfortable to wear. The armor especially feels good and perfect for my frame such as it is. I could easily see this being cold weather trooping though. I had a t-shirt and sweatpants on under the suit today taking it on and off to get the velcro on and get things positioned and was starting to get warm by the time I took some photos. For a cool Fall or Winter day though it will be perfect.
Dang that's awesome Tamer!! Hopefully you'll be fully armed soon!!
Ray, the only reason I am not dressing my mannequin yet is because I want to take a few photos of it with that great e eleven thats coming. Then, this project will be put to bed. Hopefully I didn't bug you or too many other ISYers in the making of this costume. I know I do get kind of focused when I am on a mission.
There are still a few things to play around with for this, but all fairly minor, except for maybe the project Clint is helping me on with a better comm chip for the left glove. I lighted up my led panel and it works and looks like I should be able to install it with a glue gun even with some kinda cramped quarters. Like I said I want to also trim up my breather box hoses just a bit and use a heat gun to get em to lay perhaps a bit better (although the five oh one pics I looked at today showed worse than what I have already done), but for the most part the heavy lifting is over. Whew! I have a lot more respect for folks who have created and are putting together movie accurate one to one props and costumes. Even with someone else creating the armor and helmet there is still a good bit of work for the owner to do.
Oh, did I tell you I got a great speaker and amplifier system for the helmet too? The same guy that makes the led panels from Germany also makes a very nice voice module system.
