Before I forget though, I am making a harness for my hand guard so I can just slip it on over my gloves. will that still work for the Specialist or do I need a whole different setup?

I will check into the gloves and trooperbay plastic. Thanks guys.

Thanks Jim for the pics they will come in handy if I do my own. Where to do get that black ABS that you used? How much does it run? The latex hand guards, are they mandatory or just suggested? The same for the gloves. Thanks.

Hey Toddo. I am currently using a bucket I ordered from ARAKYEL. It is pretty good and fits great. When I was asking around for who sells buckets I was told by many that the AM helmets were not the ones to use. Many suggested ARAKYEL and I am quite pleased with his work. Thanks

Hey. I am almost finished with my trooper and I am wanting to get it approved for Specialist. I have everything in order except for one item. My armor is AM and came with so much stuff including three different types of hand plates. What it did not come with is the back part of the drop boxes. These are the only thing I am without. Does anyone know if the parts normally come with the kit? I am not sure where to go or what to do as I am unable to make Specialist without them. If anyone knows where I can get some that would be great. Another question I have is do I have to be 501st approved before I try to get my Specialist? My last question is what is the official title for my armor.... is it Blackhole trooper, Shadow trooper or Shadow Stormtrooper? I have seen them called different names and I am just so confused what the correct term is. Any help here would be great thanks. Oh while I am thinking about it are ABS TX cheese grater hand plates worth anything?

Hey everyone, I just opened my armor and I have no idea what to do next. Any ideas?

Cool. Thanks for the info everybody. I hope to start on it soon as I get it!! If you have any more thoughts, questions, or suggestions please let me know. Thanks

Hey everybody! Thanks for all the suggestions and info you guys gave me concerning my future bucket purchase. Here is my next question..... I just ordered my AM armor from a reputable dealer in California and it should be here by next week...I hope!!! Since this will be my first armor I have no idea what I will need to do to it to make it fit. I was hoping for a rough idea of what is normally done to a new set of armor so I know what to prepare for, also I do not know what tools will be needed. Honestly I do not even know what order to put it on in or how. Well as soon as I get it I will take some photos...I hope it comes with directions!! Any help here would be hot. Thanks guys.

Ok thank you very much. I really appreciate it!!

In the cartoon sections the thirteenth group from the top there is a formation of blackhole troopers with what appears to be a royal guard and a moff of some sort. What are the blasters they are holding? I am unfamiliar with those. Also in the gentle giant bust of the upper body of a black hole trooper what is that blaster? Thanks!

Sounds good. I think I will get in touch with Arakyel and see what he can do. Thanks guys!!

Ok thanks for the advice.

Hi everyone. I have been considering purchasing some AM Blackhole trooper armor but I have been told to purchase a bucket from another vender. I have been told to try AP and I also have been told to try ATA. I want it to be black and completely set up and ready to wear. I do want to install some electronics. That would be great if the builder of my bucket could install it too or at least have the bucket ready for them to be installed. I found an interesting video showing some one doing it (there is a link). I don't know if there is an updated procedure or tech for doing it. Anyway I just want it to be right as well as comfy and affordable for trooping and 501st acceptance. Any and all help and suggestions are welcomed. If you could add the venders contact info and how to use it that would be great. Thanks for everything guys hope to hear from you soon!!! may the dark side empower us all!!! http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/20304-helmet-upgrades-wireless-amp-external-sound-pickups-fan-padding-and-more/

That is awesome!!!!

ArAAaAarAAre they still going to make these helmets or am I late to the party?
