I've gotten part of my order. I ordered a set of ESB gauntlets and a set of chest armour. The gauntlets came without the armour, BUT etsy is showing two packages (one of which is currently trapped at customs) so it's probably in there. Not sure why it was sent separately. Anyway, the quality...

Thank you, I appreciate this. The tracking has come through as stated. I'll keep an eye on it and hope it gets to me before my Paypal window closes. I'll let everyone know when it arrives. I've had absolutely dire experiences with costume suppliers in the past. On another forum for another...

Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat. I paid back at the end of February and still don't have anything. The proposed shipping was under a month since he had some gauntlets already made. After a little poking mid-April expecting them to be on their way, he said it was all ready to ship and after...

It's the microphones and board, powered by 4 AA batteries as a kit, so soldering is required. It doesn't come with the speakers/headphones but comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack so you can plug in your own headphones.

My hearing aid is one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Velleman-MK136-Super-Stereo-Multi-Colour/dp/B0006HJSLE I drilled out a hole on each side of the helmet where my ears are, behind the left earcap and in the space between the right earcaps. I removed the band on a pair of cheap Sony...

That's very generous although I'm in the UK so potential return shipping would be costly. I'm planning on getting your gauntlets too, so I was going to order them together for combined shipping anyway.

Thanks for the pictures, that helps. I'm going to go for it. If it still looks small, I guess I can always resell it like I plan to do with this v4 set.

I currently have Fettpride v4 armour which works fine for most of the costume except the chest where it‘s becoming obvious the more pieces I get that it’s too small in relation to my vest and GMH. I’m 5’6” and 140 pounds so still need chest armour in the smaller scale. Anyone who has the AE...

The problem for me is postage. I don't live in the US so it takes time and money to get it sent. I don't think the problem is as bad as I thought it was. I've tweaked the placement a little which has given me more room. It's still tighter, but if I remove the collar off the flight suit, then...

Update: I can confirm I shouldn't have modified it. I realised once I passed the point of no return and trimmed the dickie off that my neck seal is actually an inch smaller than the collar of my flight suit. I tested darts on the flightsuit to try and make up the gap but that just made the...

I have the ability to sew it to the flight suit myself, it was just a question of should I? I thought there might be some issues to having the neck seal fixed in place.

My Arkady neck seal is currently unattached to my ESB flightsuit, instead using the dickie method. The problem is that the grey dickie is visible when worn with the vest. To fix this, I was thinking of sewing the neck seal to the flight suit, but in the past I've heard that this comes with...

True, try a MoW harness. Fabric ones tend to tug a bit more from what I hear but it's less work than having to buy more armour.

Tweaked Boba a little while I wait for the jetpack and belt. I attached two press studs to the neckseal to combat it pulling up with the weight of the jetpack, since I was seeing a lot of the grey dickie. I may need another in the centre, but I'll see how it goes. I was debating sewing the...

So it's been a whole year now. I've not done a whole lot more. Other things tended to get in the way. Still, in the interim, I got my helmet back from ToEleven with one crazy paintjob. I spent a good week taking every opportunity to stare at it as I walked by. It now sits centre stage with my...
