I remeber hearing about this a while ago, and if I remeber right they werent 501st members only 501st members armor. That could have changed later though.

looking good, I found out the hard way not to trust the suggested drill spots on the face plate. So keep that in mind.

I have been having the same problems. The thing I just noticed is that instead of logging in with my email address, It asked me for my user name instead of my email try logging in with your real account and use your user name.

[AP holster and gloves]

dont get the gloves. I bought my kit and ordered the gloves, and they arnt accurate at all. Go to HD and search for black chemical gloves with the ribbed figertips that go over to the top to form a "finger nail". Those are very accurate for $5

[Trimming AP using the Mold Lines]

I was wondering how I was going to trim my forearms and noticed that I cant tell from the outside where to stop. If I look at the inside of the shell I see the mold line and was wondering if trimming to that line was a good idea

 

 

 

Thanks

[My AP helmet]

did anybody have problems with the decal being too big?? When I was apply my decals the back traps were way too big and had to cut ALOT off

[My AP helmet]

I didnt like the gap in my AP either, you can do what I did: Push down on the ear untill there isnt a gap any more and put a marker point throught the screw hole. Remove the ear and place all the screw in all the holes to keep the face plate and the back/cap together and drill a new hole where you marked with a marker. BE CAREFUL!!!! The plastic inbetween the two holes may snap. It didnt happen to me, but it may happen

Was just wondering what the best thing to do with a few little scrathes i got around the eyes. Also have a tiny hole that need feeling. What does everyone use?

 

Appreciate any help i can get.

Thanks.

 

 

depending on the size and depth of the scratches you can use Novus #2. As for the filling for the hole. Check out this thread:

Post #6 shows the before and after. I dont know if it will fill a hole though

[Preferred way...]

I got a pencil and ran it along the inside edge of the eye thenI used a dremmel with the "wand" attachment, and when I got withing a few cenimeters of the pencil mark. Next I went to lowes and bought some small files (come in a pack for $10-20) and carefully filed to the edge. I then took some sandpaper of various grit and started sanding untill I was happy. After all that was done I went to Walmart and in the Auto section, I boght some 2000grit sandpaper and smoothed out the edges. That worked pretty well for me

[GREAT NEW (was Sad news)]

many thoughts and prayers for you and your wife.

[Stealth trooper muaahahhahahah!!!!]

I was thinking of doing this with my AP, as soon as i get another one, and was wondering do you think it would look as good on ABS armor and bucket?

 

also TK-1422 you said "the only thing I'll add is that as the armor rubs together from trooping, you will scrape through the paint"

 

I bet that if you put some felt on the part that rubs (obviously on the inside)

that my help with the scrapping

[*** I am still alive***]

Im glad to hear that you are doing better. I hope that you continue to improve!!!

[AP ARMOR!]

I have had AP for almost a year and i love it! As for Fx as the sandy, Ap is beautiful clean, however (and rather ironically), a Sandy is where the AP really shines. As for AP's communication, he is the best I have ever dealt with, even almost a year later he still answers my emails. I really cant speak highly enough of him. He has earned a permanent customer with me.

[i'm so confused]

If you buy AP armor the AB buttons are seperated, so that might work for you.... depending on your size.

["Contact your local garrison"]

Don't have my armor yet...my E-11 is about 75%. Fingers crossed, my headless FX and MRCE will be here by the end of the month, 4th of July, around then.

 

I'll need to email the CO...I'm serious enough about this to work three jobs.

Thanks for the advice.

 

 

I know how you feel, for my armor I eat nothing but hotdogs and Ramin noodles, I will never do that again....... until my next armor lol. I will contact some people and let them know about you. Im not a full member yet so I dont know how much pull I will have, but I'll try.

["Contact your local garrison"]

It might take awhile to gain access to the boards I think it took a month or so until i was granted access. What I did to let everyone know that I was for real was I emailed the CO and all the top members to give me a hand... and a few others I picked at random.

 

Do you already have your armor? If so what type?

Do you think it could be gutted and use the voice changer in our buckets?
