Hi Kevin,
Just an FYI for you regarding RT-Mod :-
I've just placed my order & ETD is the 1st week of August. I've ordered the full kit (inc.Bucket) & freight is only $187USD, so cheap I didn't even bother getting a quote off of the freight companies I use @ work.
While the armor is a couple of hundred dearer than local armor, it is designed for taller & bigger troopers. Also the Helmet is 4% bigger to better match the scale of the armor (and when you've got a melon the size of mine that's a real bonus) If you're thinking of heading for either EIB or Centurion at some stage it's a better option than AM as it's Accurate enough to gain both extra levels. AM can also get there, but the chest & back either have to be modified or replaced.
Rob has been great, and very patient with my seemingly endless questions. He is a commercial pilot so if you contact him by email you may need to be patient as he works out of town for day's at a time, but has always been prompt with replies.
If you want some more info I'd suggest heading over to the FISD forum to have a read of some build threads, along with a "History Thread" by Rob. There are a few there, I like the one by a guy called Darth Aloha who is 6'5" & 245lb and it fit's him fine.
Anyway not trying to sell you on it, just offering you some info I've found along the way. Good luck with your selection, I'm sure you'll have a blast whichever way you go.
Cheers
Craig
