Yeah, I figured I'd jump on the RS Props bandwagon.

More of my helmet. My maker didn't build it up, but the construction wasn't perfect, as the mask doesn't sit perfectly with the bucket. Also look at the paint scratches, especially the rotation tab.

Here's some photographic proof to what's been going on with my armor. To start, here's my belt, which is the worst offender of the brittleness.

I know exactly who I got my armor from. It was made by the infamous Cucblack. The armor actually does look good, for the most part, but most of the parts easily cracked. All my armor parts were primed and painted. The paint job was done with an airbrush. That stuff scratches off quite easily, though. I can take some pictures of all my armor tomorrow.

So I have this set of armor. One thing that recently came to mind is how brittle the plastic is to nearly all the parts. In fact, most of them are cracked in certain spots. I've had this armor set for about a year. I only trooped in it once during Anime St. Louis, where I showed it off to the 501st (who are regular guests there). They really liked my suit! Though one of the guys told me that my helmet is problematic (brittle plastic, mis-shape here or there, etc), and recommended I get a new one. So now I'm in the middle of finding a pre-built helmet, eyeing a couple sellers. In fact, I think I'll replace my armor set entirely (I'll hang on to some parts, like the shoulder bells. I love those). Anyone else ever had a problem with brittle plastic armor? What can be done to save any of my armor? Who offers strong plastic parts?

Is this thing still happening? I'm interested!

Most of the armor pieces from Cucblack are quite a bit larger than the SC stuff. For your situation I'd recommend his offerings. Though he doesn't offer the torso parts, as of me writing this. I'm waiting on that to come out, myself.

Been wanting to replace some of my armor (I have SC armor with a KS helmet) with that from WTF. Particularly, I want a new helmet. I want to see how many of you have one and tell me about what the overall quality is. (share plenty of pictures, too)

Sorry, no extra fabric. =(

I sent the guy something, but haven't heard from him recently. I'll tell him more once he's around.

I tried the technique, and it works! But still need to loosen it up (especially the chest area).

No, I didn't. Is that what I should do? Also I would like there to be a way to put it on without undoing it, so I wouldn't need assistance.

So yesterday I recieved my scout cummerbund in the mail. Unfortunatly it is too tight. It keeps my chest from expanding too much when I inhale. Therefore, the bund needs some loosening up. Any ideas how?
