[QUOTE="Sid, post: 2024586, member: 25879"] I'm a big fan of Sci-Fi and Fantasy but I have to say that when it comes to "fandoms" I have no real fandom (Because I genuinely like all series, give or take a few.) save for one. It is a little niche club I like to call the "Armored Hero dorks." I love the theme of a hero who is a regular average guy but can throw on this suit of armor and either do good, bad, or just walk a very narrow line between them both. Kamen Rider (Masked Rider), Super Sentai, Rescue Force/Fire, even Mecha franchises like Gundam, Tenga Toppa Gurren Lagann, etc. fuel this interest. With that said I've been wanting for years to do a helmet and armor pieces but with my job I don't have the time to put into pepping and resining. I would like to forgo that and just purchase a helmet or armor kit and go from there wiring it up, painting, etc. I'm kind of hoping that having something done that I can look at for encouragement and inspiration would help motivate me to do more on my own to building and designing my own pieces and kit. So with that said my reasoning for posting this in the costume thread instead of Junkyard is this... I'm looking for suggestions for kits under $75 that I can tinker with. I've been browsing around the RPF Junkyard and I've seen some amazing things but I'd also like to hear some others' suggestions. With that said I'll probably be starting a foam armor build later this week. Still, I'd love to hear some suggestions! [/QUOTE]
