Re: MY ROTJ fail

Thanks for the feedback, guys. The eponymous Henry from Henry's Helmet Fans sent me the STL files for adapters that should allow me to run tubing into the mask. I'm going to go for that, plus the vest and hopefully that will be enough. ...and of course I still need to get this thing approved, but I'...

How long does the cooling vest last for you?

Re: MY ROTJ fail

https://i.imgur.com/qY1xMX7.jpg First suit-up in the Keep-Trooping soft parts, with Crow-Props gloves and boots, and Endor Armor pike. I've got a pretty good system down with the magnets so that the robes hang tightly off the helmet. Now I just need to make the thing wearable for more than 5 minute...

Re: DarthVoltron's ROTS Guard WIP

congratulations! For your info, on my kit, i used some cheap knee pads for gardening on my shoulders, with velcro on each side of them and on the robes. It gives some bulk to my stature, and I can rest my helmet on instead of directly on the shoulders or the top of my head. Thanks for the tip. I've...

Let's talk gloves

The CRL for ROTJ states "Burgundy or wine coloured cloth or suede gloves with no extraneous straps". I'm wondering where this requirement comes from. I know that I'm very new to all this and I don't mean to stir the pot, but as part of my own research for my WIP ROTJ outfit, all of the inf...

Re: DarthVoltron's ROTS Guard WIP

Looks great! Do you have plans for a pike yet? :) Lots of ways to build/buy one these days... Thanks! Yes, I have a ROTS & ROTJ pike on the way from Endor Armory. Hopefully I'll be geared up in a few weeks. Wait, I thought Endor Armory didn't make pikes anymore? Has that changed? Well, unless I...

Re: MY ROTJ fail

Looks good I would submit photos to your local GML, pike is optional for approval, it's just a cool toy to play with at events and makes you more intimidating when you are walking with a Palpatine or Vader đź‘Ť Edit: is the under robes made of suad? And the belt doesn't look right, unless it's from a ...
