Awesome. Brought back lots of memories as a kid in the 70s. Was so happy to see this

Thanks for sharing! I ordered my full commission from RS last week. You just added a new level to my excitement to getting my armor now..

excellent camerawork and excellent guide!

I just ordered an AM kit..it has a lot of third level details..I’m super excited to be a bad guy doing good for the cloud city garrison.

dude you are getting me really into this...

Imagine trying to go for a wizz in that thing.

Right. He should install a bathroom system in the costume since he already has a fan system in the helmet and a mic system in the chest armor.

I have one now as well, big shoutout to you from Germany to show me how to put it on! I actually left the arms clipped to the shoulder straps, and pull my arms through them like a T-Shirt, however I'm not sure this works for everyone, i'm just 5'7 and rather bendable.

Man, I wish all 501st members were like you, they generally have a terrible reputation for being elitist, but you’re perfectly balanced, you take pride in how you do it and how it looks, but not a douche about it :)

Thank you for posting this. I've been trooping as a TB for about six months and I've been debating doing a TK build. This video answered a lot of questions for me.

Thank God for our supportive wives! :-) The armor will feel awkward to put on and wear the first couple of times, but after you troop in it a couple of times (and resize it, and install helmet fans, etc.), you'll be putting it on mostly by yourself, and even better than me! Best wishes as you go on your first 501st troop. I know you will bring joy to many, many people.

Looking cool trooper

Great video 👍👍👍👍

I'm always concern of the detonator slipping off somehow or some kid messing with it and getting it lost... thoughts of it already clipped on tightly and correctly centered on the canvas belt is an idea... To say, what I liked of the early, older FX armor the detonator is bolted on the ABS plastic belt strap and you can squarely straighten it easily as you fasten and tighten it via Velcro, whereas the canvas belt strap you have to make sure it is flat and straight, and the detonator is clipped securely and centered in the back. Of course, the FX armor is no longer 501st approvable, unless it has been modded to only 1st level canon, and the 'bucket' is completely replaced with an approved and comparable screen accurate TK helmet.

Thanks for giving me the inspiration with the straps inside of the shins, i actually had trouble with this with my RS armor :)

How did you shorten your thigh loops that connect to belt to raise the thigh armor higher up? Please let me know. Thanks!

Thank u for helping me with what version of stormtrooper i should get. I just wore mine from rs and it’s looks awesome. My ? Is what modifications did u do to keep the calf from coming apart because of the 3 clips in the back of calf. Would u say use white velcro along back of calf or do something different.

Nice!

hey IceStorm. Congrats on Centurion. i have ordered af RS full Comm as well. it is on its way. I was wondering, how did you remove the strips om the back of the thighs IOT size them correctly?? as far as i can see on FB, RS use CA glue to assemble thighs

Cool trooper

how did you adjust the thigh armor loop. i also received my armor and would like to shorten the thighs

Wonderful video! Also this Stunt helmet is a RS prop masters?

How did you attach those voice systems inside the armor? Did you use duct tape or some sort of attacher?

I use velcro for the shin armour because it's easy and that way you can see what you are doing?

Do you have the ABS or PBC option for your armor?

Hope you're still Trooping, you are the same height 5’10” and build as me and your armour fit great, did you get it off the peg like that, or did you give them your measurements?

is the helmet covered in hdpe like the originals

? And also what method did u use to tighten the thigh straps to belt? Mine as well is just a bit loose hanging

Seems they have forgone the straps connecting the bicep piece with the shoulder piece now... Guess I'll make my own modification then

+IceStorm TK can you show us a video of you trooping with other 501st members?

Hi. Great video and I'm looking forward to receiving my armour from RS. I do have 1 question though. I noticed you mentioned a fan system in the helmet. This is something I've thought about putting in mine to stop the eye lenses from fogging and obviously keeping a bit cooler. Where abouts in the helmet have you mounted it? Many thanks....... Marc

+Marc Jacobs - There are several fan build threads on www.whitearmor.net that you might want to check out, but I'll quickly tell you that I mounted my fans in the front, near the bolts from the hovi mics. I built my own using the popular 20mm squirrel fans and rechargeable USB power banks. I wanted a rechargeable option. Make sure you get good ones that won't blow up. :-) I was able to use the space along the side tubes to mount the power banks (about the size of a roll of nickels). Many people purchase Echo's fan system from the FISD forum and love them too.

So grateful you've put these videos up on here and are willing to help newbies like myself. Many many thanks again.

Hi IceStormTK, very impressive kit you have there! I'm also planning on ordering my TK kit through RS in order to join my local 501st, although I'll be going the self-build route! I have a question regarding the voice amplifier you use. Which one do you have? I've heard good things about iComm (even though they're a little pricey), and I also found a much cheaper option on the site TrooperBay. I figured I'd ask a fellow TK. Thank you for your time, and your dedication to the Empire! I hope you'll be making more videos, soon, too.

One more question, if you don't mind. I've talked to a member in my Garrison who purchased the RS kit with the strap system and he says that it's uncomfortable to wear. What do you think? Is your TK suit comfortable to wear for extended troops? Thanks again!

THE most accurate, regardless of what other armor suppliers want you to believe. RS is cast directly off a screen used ANH suit so it is perfectly imperfect with all the correct bumps and asymmetries it's supposed to have. And they also offer a version that is more idealized with the bumps etc smoothed out. Just depends on what you want. While not as fast to put on as my old school FX (see starwarshelmets.com for comparisons of all makers), it is great to see the attention to accuracy even down to the correct webbing and hooks. Just incredible. I only wish RS had existed in the mid 90s when us early 501st ers started collecting armor.

Hello and good afternoon my name is Kevin Greenfield ok and I have a fiberglass storm trooper armour and I find it hard getting on and fund it very difficult taking it off can you advise me please many thanks Kevin Greenfield.

Serious question, can you actually sit down while wearing it?

What do you recommend A New Hope or Empire Strike Back armor

@icestormtk445

6 жыл бұрын

Most of the guys in the 501st are A New Hope. There seems to be more suppliers that provide ANH gear as well. But, that said, there are also guys who want to do something a little different. There are quite a few differences, including the holster placement (right side), the hand guards and several helmet details. I chose to go ANH simply because I wanted to look as close to the other troopers as possible, but that's not really a big deal to others (as much as it is to me). Hope this helps.

What kind of plastic is the armor made of?

@icestormtk445

6 жыл бұрын

This armor is made of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic. RS Propmasters also sells their armor in PVC, but 99.9% of the guys I troop with have ABS armor. It is a creamy white, whereas PVC is a stark white. I like ABS because I can repair cracks easily by making ABS putty with acetone and ABS shavings.

@rodgerq

IceStorm TK does it require repair often?

@icestormtk445

6 жыл бұрын

It depends on a couple of factors. I myself only have to do repairs after every 4 or 5 intense troops. These repairs are frightening the first time, but are a breeze after that. 95% or so of my repairs have been hairline crack repairs especially around the cod piece. I keep a shallow jar of ABS paste on my workbench. It is made of ABS shavings and acetone. I just add a little acetone liquid to the hardened leftovers in the jar, let it set for 40 minutes or so, stir it back up with a wooden crafting stick (looks like a wide popsicle stick) and apply it to the INSIDE of the armor. Once it dries, you're good to go. I have also cut some small strips of ABS and super glued them to the inside at areas that I'm concerned might start a running crack down there.

Don't worry… You'll get used to them, and they are not that uncomfortable. :-)
