Brilliant Shawn!! Looks like Matt took care of ya! Cannot wait to see your whole new ROTJ suit and lid together.

The Thurston is looking Good John!!!!

The easy way to fill the Hovi/areator is a dowel rod. If you try fill the Hovi/areator with putty, fiberglass ect, it might not hold. Hobby and hardware stores will have dowel rods. Just find one that fits tight, or one that is a little larger. If you have to get a dowel rod a little larger than the hole, take a piece of sandpaper (60 grit) and wrap it around the larger dowel rod. Now with the sandpaper wraped around the dowel rod, hold it lightly but firmly with one hand and twist the dowel rod back and forth with the other hand. This will keep the dowel rod more round as you sand it down to a size that will fit inside the Hovi/areator. Once you get the dowel to fit, only put the dowel rod half way through the Hovi/areator. Use E-6000 glue. Let dry over night. Once the e-6000 has cured, then cut off the excess dowel rod, and drill the hole in the center. Then drill a hole in the center of each port "socket" round area. Place the bolt through the holeof the Hovi/aerator, put a washer in the back, then just snug it up to the port "socket" round area.

Make sure that the weather permits. Apply only when air and surface temperatures are above 50°F (10°C). If there is any moisture, fog ect. don't paint.

Also you might need to trim the sides of the faceplate as well. First take a couple of small spring clamps and clamp the faceplate to the cap at the brow. This will allow you to do any adjustment and to see what needs trimming. Then you can mark each side with pencil, what you think needs to be cut. Trim a little at a time, you can always trim more but you cannot put it back. Hope it helps.

Hey Alex to me it looks like you might have to lean the ears forward to get the back and face to work. Like the this screen used lid: Here is where the cut line looks to need to be.

good stuff

THE SAINTS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am with ya Brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAINTS!! SAINTS!! SAINTS!!

You are on the right track!!!

Yeah, I know it looks an ROTJ, but I was curious who is the 501st Stormtrooper in the picture? Did one of the 501st members pose for the pic or did Hasbro just use someone in a Stromtrooper suit? mmmmm...

Gino is a guy who used to be on here. He is a prop maker and he and Matt G.(TE) were on here years ago. Gino and Matt had some "Jerry Springer" moments on here. Gino has also rubbed a lot of people in the prop community and on this forum the wrong way. If you want ot read more about it look here:http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=9698

Hey Stephen, Can you show me a photograph of your areator, other than a side view? You are saying it is totally hollow. I need to see what we are working with. As for the ports on your VT helmet, they should be slightly rounded, like TE2, ATA and AP helmets. The back end of the arerator is not going to fit like a flat piece to a flat piece. If you are going to blot it in there, your are just suppose to snug it up to the port. Here are some photographs of some screen used helmets. These will show you that they are not perfectly straight either.

Got it, thanks man!!!!

nobody know????

Hey all, Today I have been looking through a few of the post and have noticed there are about five people using the same avatar. The first time I saw this avatar, Troopmaster had it. Now there are about five or six people using it. Didn't know if there is a new hidden society that I am not aware of, or maybe the Matrix syndrome or are we starting to clone here and I didn't get the memo?

Thanks Alex, I enjoyed that. Especially the end with Darth. LOL!!!

Hey Stephen, I have seen it done two different ways. The more commmon way is to drill a hole in the center of each port "socket" and and in the back end of the aerator (Hovi Mike Tip), if it is not already there. Then from the inside you put a smalll bolt with a washer through the hole, connecting your aerator (Hovi Mike Tip) to it, and just snugging it up ( do not over tighten). When drilling, make sure you have a bit that is slightly smaller than the bolt you are using, so the bolt will have something to thread against. The other way is to hot glue gun it. But, if you are going to do this, you will have to wait until you have finsihed all your mods and paint job.

Hey all, I have the "STAR WARS SAN DIEGO COMIC CON EXCLUSIVE 501ST STORMTROOPER" and it just hit me, who is the pic of on the card inside. I have never opened it, and don't plan to.

I saw this and thought since it is Sunday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2i764rMDfM...mp;feature=fvwp

Looking good Robert!!! Impressive most impressive :vader1: Are you going to add the shins strips to the front of the thigh and calf armor? It would help to make it more screen accurate. To be close to screen accurate, the measurement for the shins should be about 20mm wide.

Well done Dennis!!! Just remember ANH TKs hold the E11 in their Left hand. One more thing, nothing big.... The shoulder bells look back a little too far from the front. That maybe caused by the under shirt, it looks a bit bulky. You may need to find a slick cloth style black shirt like Under armor :<a href="http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/mens/gearline/coldgear?iid=99|Mens|Silo-Landing-3-Middle-4-Bottom|top_01|M|ColdGear|C|Shop|" target="_blank">http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/mens...oldGear|C|Shop|</a> Awesome looking suit!!!!!!
