Correct. Furthermore, I believe they look more tasteful.

Well if you want a screen accurate costume use chicago screws, they are easy to find and make the armor look really nice.

Hey how did you get on?

The sides of my armor stuck out a bit but I havent reshaped them. I connected mine using chicago screws ~ they do the job plus they look good. I think im going use a snap on kit for the sides.

Would a hair dryer work?

Very cool guys thats what I need!

Not sure if my hardware store would stock them.

Its the chest box thats the problem. The hole is wider and the hose wobbles about very lose when secured with a pin. Needs more to keep it stable.

I went ahead and got U46 for the armor, as it does not look like the same used with the helmet us U channel and not squared. I also went ahead and got US52 for the helmet, its the squared trim and looks like the sa...

I'm getting the trim for my helmet from the place in England, does anyone know what is used for the chest armor? It looks circularly curved not square like the trim used for the helmet and smaller?

U46 and U49 for the armor from here?

I know the square was used for the helmets as i have used it for my ROTJ stormtrooper helmet though it looks like the U shaped trim was used for the armor? I'm looking to get it for the armor too.

My helmet is on www.starwarshelmets.com
