Please, derail! this is the most action I've gotten all month! But seriously, I have been pricing components, and looking at the overall feasibility of this, and I could probably do this for less. I could do them in batches of 10 with battery compartment, TWO fans (as opposed to one) and shipping for about the same as what he is charging for one. any thoughts?

Ok. I just don't want to be cast as a "recaster" as it were. I am selling the scope rails and Hengstler counters simply because i can make them and no one else sells them....so I can help guys out...I will look at how cheap I can make those fan kits....

I would sell those fan kits if someone had not beat me to it. I don't want to bite his action...

So here are some of those pics I promised... First, the helm itself... And on... And interior (Beautiful by the way) And notice I already installed my Fans So, what do you think?

I'll post a whole slew of pics tomorrow!

He says mine is ok...it's no where near as bad as the ones from the thread. I'll make it work....

Good call

Will do

I did...it is

good call. I will let him know, my ears are a different color as well...

I am good on my armor..for now. The shipping took about 5-7 business days to reach me from Poland to Northern Virginia, USA. The actual total time from my order to arrival was a little over a Month (April 27th to June 8th). The work is outstanding! My only complaint is that I can tell that Arakyel is a smoker... but It is not as bad as it could be... I can not wait to finish my Armor so I can put this all together. BTW, I am leaving the protective plastic film on for the moment...just to be safe...

I will have that ready to go by this time next week, so pics will come soon!

I have been a busy bee. I will add pics soon, but the arms and legs are all but finished, and I have started in to the body. I bought a Trooperbay Black canvas belt and sewed "Patent Pleather" over it...how does this look?

I received my new Shadowtrooper bucket from Arakyel in Poland today and, at first glance, it is frigging awesome! I took just this one pis, but I will take a bunch of pics later and add them! :dancing-trooper: :dancing-trooper: :dancing-trooper:

No problem at all! Share the knowledge brother!

I got these great helmet size comparison pics courtesy of RaiderNick. "Here is a comparrison between the AT bucket from arakyel and the AM bucket. I have a 24" head and with the AT bucket with padding my head fits snugly inside with no extra room. With the AM bucket it has the same opening size and depth(with padding) but has a larger circumference. With the same padding as the AT my head jiggles around and the bucket almost sits on my shoulders." AT Left, AM Right AM AT AT Left/ AM Right AT Left/ AM Right AT Left/ AM Right AT Left/ AM Right AT Left/ AM Right

what is the size of that bucket compared to the AM and ATA?

Very nice. How does this helmet compare in size to other helmets, lite AM and ATA?

You can always cut some off, you can not add any, so i ordered the Large, just to be safe...

A little trimming and some hot glue

Looking sweet!

I used E6000 on those clips with overnight clamping and they have held up pretty good so far...

So, I have been a busy bee...I have gotten a lot of work done on my helmet...First off, here is a test fitting... I have not seen anyone else do this but I decided, with the three piece AM helmet, to rivet the dome to the face along the brow where the brow strip will cover...this may be genius, or it may be my downfall...we shall see... So I taped it to make sure it lined up and then drilled my rivet holes. I do not plan to rivet all of them, but I wanted to make sure I was good... Once I had my holes set, I separated the dome and attached the helmet liner... then I painted my frown...And...Rivets! Sorry for the blurry pics...The rivets worked great! I E6000'd the rear edge of the dome to the body of the helmet and let it sit overnight with magnets to set. Next up I added the resin Mic Tips from Darth Vorhees. I painted them and added window screen patches cut to fit. I also drilled the hole for the chin piece and added window screen behind the frown. then the ear bits and the brow strip I installed the fans that I had put together, and the rubber seal on the base of the helmet. here are the fans I assembled. and installed. I added window screen over the fan intakes to avoid any...issues... Tomorrow I will add the chin and the lenses, decals, tube stripes and then a good polishing, and it should be done! more pics to come...

I am getting ready to paint the frown on my TX, and the CRL says Black, Grey, or Silver, but what do most of you think is the best looking color? My lenses are silver mirror and that would go together, but I am unsure. Discuss...

How did you go about attaching the construction helmet liner in to the AM helmet. I am having a HELL of a time trying to get it all lined up and marked just so I can glue it in there....ANY help would be appreciated, as you clearly know what you are doing...
