Yes and im very excited to finally have it. The wait may have been long but youre right it was worth it. I did order lenses that are screen accurate and better made as the ones inside currently is a flimsy piece of red plastic. I also have to fill the helmet and add my padding so it sits correctly on my head. More??updates??to come soon??

IT HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!?? As of today, after 7 and a half months of waiting for my inferno squad helmet, it has arrived and im so happy. Looks pretty good and cant wait to put padding on the inside so it doesn't fall over my neck. I did look at the lens/visor and realized like many others who get their helmet new that it was a thin plastic lens that isnt entirely held??down??so i do wanna take those out and replace them with something nice. Also the?? wire mesh??on the mouth area will also need add on mesh??as you can see through it and skin shows.?? Otherwise its here and if anyone can help me with tips and tools to finish off the bits mentioned then that would be great! Here are some pics below!??

Its from JawaChopShop aka Chris Hale. He makes quiet a bit of armor and trooper types but as of right now with the situation that you know of I personally wouldn't recommend him due to timing and communication being poor. On the other hand you aren't wrong about his work as even though this isnt my helmet it looks exactly like the original.??

Yes it does and no I was told by the seller that he would be sending me a return label and my inferno helmet was being shipped but haha yes its really nice and I will post picture of it. There are two pieces that came off that I have taped to the inside so when the seller gets it back he can fix that but as far as it sounds he wants it back lol.??

Hi 501st CTG,?? Its been awhile since I updated about my inferno squad costume. I sadly didn't receive my helmet the other day as when I opened the box it was not a inferno squad helmet but a AT-AT pilot helmet. The seller packaged the wrong helmet so supposedly my helmet is being shipped today. Again ill be posting pics of the inferno helmet once it comes in.?? On the other hand i've begun to acquire items for my imperial officer belt that is under my scout belt and today i received the belt and disc located on the buckle from Wampa Wear.????So here is a quick snap of those two pieces.????As for the buckle I have a friend who is a welder and is making the buckle for me! Once the whole belt comes together I upload that. Otherwise im close to buying my DLT-19x soon , and hope y'all who are also in the middle of building costumes?? are doing good. From Quentin, S.????

I found this group that does the 3D printing for the DLT-19x and was wondering out of the two materials used to buy the model which one is the better one? The two types of material on the website is a 3D??printed kit or a resin cast which they also have the choice of a resin cast original HD copy. I will leave the link below for anyone needing better info but if someone can point me to the right direction on this that would be great.?? https://www.procoprint3d.com/product-page/dlt-19x-trageting-blaster-rifle-real-scope-full-functional-resin-copy-mg-34?? From, Quentin??

Welcome Joshua! Good luck on figuring out what costume you're going for! That is the cool thing about Star Wars and how there are so many options to choose from.??

NO SPOILERS IN MY RESPONSE but I really enjoyed the movie. Thought it was really well balanced and the actors and actresses were awesome. What did you all think (no spoilers still) after seeing it?????

It was a mad house but I thought it was still awesome. I do agree that a better organizer is needed because getting a autograph was a disaster.??

Same! I loved celebration 2017 and I wanna go back again next year

So we finally got the announcement for celebration and was wondering what everyone thought of the location and if anyone is planning on going? I hope for myself that I have spring break during that week of April but?? we will see. Let me know what y'all??think!

Thanks and yes definitely will shine them.?? Im getting the flight suit from Jim Tripon on Facebook, Wampa wear doesn't make a Inferno flight suit and yeah?? they are not good with stock. Jim has good priced suit with the correct strip measurements and zipper hider.??

Finally another piece of my costume arrived today! Got the Jack boots from Sovietboots.com and they look great and fit really well. They also are the right height with them being almost to my knee. Once I get the jumpsuit I will take a picture with them on as I dont have anything proper to wear with these that wont look silly lol. Still waiting on the helmet and supposedly its shipping out soon but soon with this seller could mean another two weeks...?.??Once I get the helmet I will share multiple picture of all the sides and interior.?? Q.??

Okay sounds good! Thanks for letting me know, information is always appreciated??

Yes, and okay I'll make sure to ask and the seller I have in mind is??JawaChopShop, he's on facebook if you want to check him out. I bought my helmet from him but it has taken awhile for him to send it out. So I plan on finding another seller for the armor parts??and have even asked someone else in the 501st in Virginia to see if they know anyone. If you have anyone in mind then I'd appreciate knowing. Thank you in advanced!

To anyone,?? I was wondering for my chest and back armor what type of plastic should I be looking for from a seller. I know when I spoke to some of you at the armor party there was a discussion of what plastic was durable and affordable. To be clear im buying the armor from a seller so I want to make sure hes using the right stuff??

Sounds good, ill probably try the newspaper to see how that goes!

Hello fellow legion members, Just making this topic a thread for a update and show of the pieces I have gotten for my build.?? So far I have only received my shoulder ammo pouch in the mail and I know as boring as that might be to start this thread Id figured I just post about it now verses waiting another week or two. Also am happy to point out that these were from trooperbay, thanks Art for showing me, and was surprised to see the stitching was already black!???? Also I had hoped my Helmet would have been here after 4 months of having ordered it but sadly it has not yet arrived, gonna have to contact seller again. To add to the list of items im waiting to come in are my boots that I got from Sovietboots.com. Cant wait to see them but was wondering if anyone had experience buying items from them and if I must contact the US customs office to see if I gotta pay extra tax for an international item? I did pay a flat rate of $30 so im hoping that covers customs if thats the case. Otherwise im gonna continue making more purchases throughout the next few months for more parts and we will see how far I get by the end of summer. Plan is to be done by Winter this year. Below are two photos front and back of the shoulder ammo pouch, sorry if they look grainy seems like phone photos take a turn for the??worse on laptop,??anyone have any ideas as to how I give the pouches more of a filled look?????Or do I need to find some sort of light ammo cartridge thats the same size to give it that true look??? Have a great day, Q

This is me whenever i play battleship, maybe thats why im starting to realize im a trooper. Although being a future inferno squad member means i probably better hit the target lol

good luck! Cant wait to??see how this turns out??

Thank you for the knowledge and advice. I paid $45 for it and trying to sell it hoping that someone who just needs a simple prop E-11 could find use for it. Otherwise Im gonna start saving up for the DLT-19X as thats the goal with Del using it quite often in BF2. I think I found someone on IG who makes the DLT-19X and i believe it was $300 and??is a resin kit.????

Now I know for the Del Meeko approved costume the DLT-19X and the E-11 are both allowed, I dont have funds for a DLT-19X but do have my hands on this etsy E-11 that was made by someone in mandomercs. I was wondering what everyone's opinion on the detailing and??make of this blaster, and if it is suitable for my costume. I kinda feel that the weathering and detailing could be a lot better and if anyone is okay with helping me fix this and is going to the armor party I would be more than willing to bring it with me. I have several photos below but if these are hard to really see what the blaster is like id like to still bring it to the armor party to get advice on what to make new of it. If anyone knows a affordable and accurate way of building the DLT-19X id love to know!??Thank you.??

thank you! I have to see if im gonna be around that weekend, going to college in NY means weekends might get busy with work. Hoping to make one of the parties eventually.??

Hi Nicholas, wow that's awesome! good luck with the move, and yes you will probably hear from me soon once im able to get the funds for the armor kits. College isnt the of friends when it comes to our wallets as you probably know. Thank you!
