Hi Everyone!
First of all I wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope everyone is at good health (especially these days).
I am already a 501st member as a ESB TK and could not wait any longer to pursue a Death Trooper build as this is one of the coolest cosplay. Even though being located in Florida and a black cosplay may not be ideal, but who cares. Right? ?
I followed several WIP posts in this forum and these were very helpful, especially @MKE-Trooper yours was very helpful. In order to follow the WIP sharing process, here is where I am as of the time posting this topic. As the armor will take the longest time for delivery, I will order the rest over the next weeks.

I may give these ones a shot to 3D print on my own as I did build an E-11 Blaster for my TK with good results.

Accessories
Helmet Cooling System: Henry's Helmet Fans (https://www.etsy.com/listing/474837219/dual-modular-ball-bearing-4500rpm-fan), mainly because they have higher rpm's than others.

Helmet Monitor Light: I think the Armor Shop Props Helmet does not include the monitor light, hence i may consider the Ukswraths Death Trooper Monitor Lighting (https://www.etsy.com/listing/706112797/death-trooper-monitor-lighting) - Not ordered yet
Grenade Red Light: Amazon Non-blinking red LED Balloon Light (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012D2LBJ6?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details) - Received 01/14/2022
