okay so this build is taking a little longer than i expected... stupid "graduate school" assignments... argh... so ive measured my tube to length, and have attached it with velcro, so its removable. i've used blue painters tape to mark the spots where the varous attachments will be.. well.. attached... now ive taken the tube out of the bucket, and am preparing to do the wiring. i've laid everything out, just to see what is going where... ive cut holes and have temporarily installed the switches... ive figured out how to attach the sound board (regular velcro), 9v batteries (small velcro strips, easily replacable), and fans (glued to inside of bolts, but i might move them later on)... all thats left is to figure out how to attach the microphone, and just wire everythign together!

hehehe.. really cool

Got one more pair left if anyone's intersted!!!!!

found 'em... PHEW!!! now just to paint them the correct shade of grey (testers 1138)!!!! thanks to all those who helped!

all the more reason to get elite status!

if it wasnt for FISD, starwarshelmets would definately be my home page

didn't know i needed permission... i've taken his system, as well as a few others for inspiration, and am creating my own version. i like working with my hands, and like to tinker with wires and switches (i'm a ham radio guy, and have built a box with a GPS, and a radio, which sends takes the gps signal, through a processor, and out the radio, so it transmits the location of the box). i've changed a few things so its not exactly like skullworx. all of my components are different, mic is different, switches are different, everything is placed differently. the only think im borrowing from skullworx is the black tube that holds the wires together. if this becomes a legal issue, i have no problem not posting any more of my progress, and even deleting what i've already put up there. last think i need is a copyright infringement lawsuit.

...drooling.... wish my armor looked THAT good.. im as green as kermit the frog with jealousy!!! (good looking armor)

So i went to finalize my bucket today... and i seem to have "misplaced" the grey ear covers.. you know.. the little grey boxes that cover the screw tops (on my FX bucket)... does anyone know where i can pick up replacement pieces? i still can't believe i lost them.. ive looked everywhere, and have no where else to turn.. i know the guys here at FISD can help me out!!

yeah... nothing beats the classic... but i did like how they changed Sebastian Shaw for Hayden... for continuity purposes at least... to each his own...

i went to staples and picked up a package of "money clips"... they came 6 to a package, but i only needed two... I'd be willing to sell the extra's to anyone interested. $2 for a pair, plus 50 cents for shipping... PM me if interested.. i only have 2 pairs left!

hehe.. omg thats so cute... dont talk back to darth vader, or he'll getcha!

how about these? they are nice and fuzzy inside my boots!!! ---------

i was at Sports Authority at the local mall yesterday, and found this amazinig hockey equipment bag for only $25.. i looks a lot like the one featured in dagobah swamp! i contemplated purchasing it. I can't seem to find it on their website, but they had 2 or 3 dozen on the shelves... hopefully it will be there next week after i get paid! next step is the PVC frame on the inside for rigidity

looks super... and "me 2" to the post above me..

so i take it OSCS is a person? how does one get in touch with them?

so whats the definition of "canon"?

then i guess i wasted money on a blue pauldron... it looks cool, but i guess i can't wear it at most events...

oOo... i saw that earlier.. i'm debating moving to a system like that instead of a rubbermaid tub.. looks neat!!!

i never knew there were stripes until i stared researching my TK... I've always thought of Mr. No-Stripes as the inconic stormtrooper, and that's been the image burned into my brain since the 80's

uh oh... you could always find a different radio shack, or order online... there are 3 i bounce around between in my area. the one closest to me is the smallest, and doesnt always have the largest selection. so sometimes i have to go to #2 or #3 for what i need.

Most of the parts came from my local radioshack. This includes: the amp the microphone switches 9v battery attachments tubing to contain the wires from the local electronics store: solderable speaker mic plug (dont know what else to call it) would've got this at radio shack but they were sold out the day i went. just lying around my basement: wire solder, soldering gun i got the hovi-speaker-tips on list somewhere

first off, id like to appologize for the quality of these pics.. apparently my digital camera (8 years old and still ticking) doesnt like to zoom that far in... so, please, feel free to use your imagination special thanks to the tutorial at http://www.whitearmor.net/uploads/TKBucket...eakersystem.ppt the first thing i wanted to do was to finalize the sound system in the bucket. to begin this, i decided to create the wire that will go from the amp to the speakers. it needs a mic jack on one end. i'm no electrical engineer, but i have soldered before... basically, the red wire (positive) goes on the short clip, and the black wire (negative) goes on the loger clip. Next i soldered them together, being careful not to cross the connections, as this will make the wire not work. Lastly, i screwed on the cap to the plug, making it complete.

Got my boots in the mail today... they look AWESEOME!! just a stupid question? do i need special socks too? or will my usual socks work fine?

at first, maverick DID leave his wingman, but he learned from his mistakes, and now he wont do that anymore.. if there's hope for maverick, there's hope for us all!! (18 gallon tub from target... is my offiical answer)
