HELLO FROM LOMPOC, CA
I've been a Star Wars, armor, and Sci-First fan for three decades.
I've now been able to fun ally start collecting and getting some if my favorite stuff made for me.
I'm currently pursuing Stormtroopers. I've done A LOT if reading on the internet, and more than once this group had come up.
So I figured I should join it.
Like I said, I'm a fan of Star Wars and Stormtroopers, so I'm also looking into joining The 501st Legion.
In case you don't know them, they are a costuming club, which means they are all about being authentic, and they can spy a misstep from a mile away.
This brings me to a current need.
I want to dress up as a shiny black stormtrooper, but I have no idea where to get a shiny non tie fighter helmet.
If anyone can tell me, if much appreciate it.
(After a lot of reading on the Legions and the Dented Helmet forums, I've emailed the fan prop makers. They don't have a black ABS one.
So I searched on eBay and the only have one for $2,000. (Is it made out of carbon fiber?!)
So I have done my research. If it wasn't for specific Legion standards, I would just buy an eFX standard white professional replica and spray paint it glossy black. But I'm not sure they would accept that.
