| Looks very good Stu, your new direction (sidetrack) in SW collecting! The Tusken helmet is awesome (you even scored the HT version  ) but the Fett helmet beats it all  Looked at the thread how it was made and it's a true work of art! ~Martijn |

| Well I had a near full dress rehearsal tonight. Still need to finish some parts including strapping for the thigh armour as it's not secure. Also need to fit the Knee plate and ammo belt to the knees and the Thermal Detonator to the back of the belt. I have a new holster for my blaster on its way which will be rivetted to the ammo belt. I was in this for about 15 minutes and I sweated buckets, trooping in this for a day wil certainly mean losing a few pounds. Should hopefully be applying for clearance at the weekend.     |

| It’s the first time I have had the chance to check out this limelight and I was blown away!! I have to say the Stormtrooper Outfit looks fantastic Stu!! The Tusken Raider Head and Boba Helmet are unreal the look so realistic! I really hope you continue to build the costumes for those characters as well  If I ever detoured from vintage into another hobby then it would definitely be costumes i just don’t think my budget would stretch that far! Just a question I think I read somewhere that people actual put cooling / fan systems in the helmet is that correct or not? jay@imperialgunneryforum.com |

| Thanks lads.
I really have enjoyed putting this together even though it's been frustrating along the way and made a few mistakes.
It can take a few weeks to get approval Carl, hopefully it will be quicker.
You're right about the fans Jay, I have a few fitted in my Stormie helmet along with a mic which goes to a speaker in the suit.
Next up is Fett, should have some nice update photos for you soon. |

| That's awesome!
I am like Jay, if I had somewhere to wear it and things to do with it I would be all over a Stormie suit! Just think its a bit out of my league price wise at the moment, maybe in a few years.
I really do like where you have gone with this Stu, good luck on the approval! |

| You still hunting for a Biker suit Jimmy?
I was at Southbank yesterday with the kids, quite a few skaters.
Would have loved to have seen you tearing up that place. |
