My NEW Shadowtrooper Helmet!!!!!!

[Evilboy[501st]]

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!

Looks great, enjoy! I love mine too.

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Yep, great buckets. I had to reinforce my aerator spots just a little more, but other than that, love it!

nice! looks great...still waiting for my bucket

[toddo[TX]]

nice looking bucket. How long did it take to arrive?

[RaiderNick[TX]]

It took mine about 2 weeks to arrive.

hehehe I have this same helmet! Is rally amazing work! For me is perfect

In My country you can buy a full armor (I have chest armor, and I waiting for complet) If you interested send me a PM

[Evilboy[501st]]

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...

You might want to check the ears. As you probably heard mine had bad ears on it. Check them in the sun to see if the hips matches, he replaced mine for free.

[Evilboy[501st]]

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

[RaiderNick[TX]]

Make sure you took the plastic off them first...I forgot originally.

 

[Evilboy[501st]]

I did...it is

[Griffin-X[501st]]

Put some orange peels in your bucket overnight. That helped to get rid of the smoky smell from mine.

[Evilboy[501st]]

Will do

[RaiderNick[TX]]

BTW if you do decide to replace the ears, they are difficult to get off. Mine had glue on the threads of the screws which makes them almost impossible to get off. Before I cut the screws I'm going to wait for the new pair to arrive so I'm not stuck without a bucket.

[Evilboy[501st]]

Good call

[RaiderNick[TX]]

Did he agree to replace them for you? I think that the whole last batch of ears he got was bad so the last few buckets he did would have the same problem.

[Evilboy[501st]]

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

 

[RaiderNick[TX]]

Yeah mine was pretty horrible, would you mind posting a pic of yours so I can compare my new ones to it?

[Evilboy[501st]]

I'll post a whole slew of pics tomorrow!

[Scootch[TX]]

LOL I have experienced the smoker lid effect before! Awesome!!!

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

At least not as bad as with soft parts. The solution for this: cut up an apple, put some paper towel in your bucket and rest the apple on it. It will get rid of the smoke smell.

Oranges, apples...at least we agree on fruit as a solution.

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?

[RaiderNick[TX]]

I think you did a much better job on your fan wiring than I did . Good job.
