Looking great Steve!

I think it looks like the head of a bad action figure that has been ripped off ungracefully with pliers.

Yikes! It would scare me a lot more if this was posted on a different day though

I noticed the kennel... and wonder how long until your dog will be the victim of a lightsabre attack

Not yet, but hoping to this fall maybe. But I can even use my blaster in laser tag games can check out my build thread http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=10370 if you want.

Gratz Terry! So we can expect more pandatrooper tutorials now? yay

Yes! we want more took under a minute for more to be demanded too

Oh! and I thought that was just paint. I was planning on pads and fans, but let me know how this works

What does the black inner liner do? I've seen some people paint it black, others leave it white - there must be some reasons, or people wouldn't go through the effort of doing it

This is just incredible. I got a reply from TM for my armor today, so I should have my own set to cover in drool around April or so! The lid is just beyond words. I just have a few noob questions What is the piece with the 3 buttons on it? on the bottom, directly to the right of the ab plate? Did TM include strips to glue over the joins on places like the shins/thigh, or do you have to purchase those separately?

Or, the other people could be like me. I don't have any yet (no armor yet either, working on trying to order my first suit! [planning to get TKBoots]), and want to learn more.

I was excited to see this... but now I'm just bored at how little is coming. I'll be sure to check back in a month when there's pics of it almost finished though

OMG that would make them even better! If they did I wouldn't just want a pair I'd NEED! a pair.

I want to see more pictures! And lots and lots of them!

thanks! that looks great

I'm getting ready to order my first suit (so excited!) so this won't be a problem for a few months, but I'm wondering how to survive a convention without pockets. Any suggestions? I'm trying to have everything ready by august for an anime convention, and actually joining the 501st soon after that.... before the next convention here in november. But this leads me to having the issues of not being in the 501st for a place to change, and store stuff. i figure worst case i could have one of the friends in the group im going with help me out

I've sent a few pm's over the past few months - no replies, is there another way by which I am supposed to contact him? (I missed the last TM armors for sale in that section, is the right course of action to wait a few more months till more become available [maybe flexible even!?] or pm) info for me too please

Its helping me too, I'm also turning mine into a laser tag gun... so being able to take it apart if something happens to the electronics inside is important the friends i laser tag think its kinda geeky, but awesome nonetheless (outdoor lasertag, we use areas similar to airsoft - but we're wimps and dont want to get hurt)

eventually i'll get EIB.. but i have to get in the 501st first <_< i hope troopermaster's new armor comes out soon, thats what im waiting for - gonna have an epic first set of armor

its currently REALLY COLD, and snowing a ton - university closed today/tommrow in nebraska - so i get a few days off

okie, so i did this poorly (didnt get the glue on the underside well enough) and ripped the piece in half.. im gonna head to the local hardware store and see if i can get some plastic/metal pipe to fit over it... or maybe just bondo and shape it if i cant find the right pieces, any other ideas?

How did you get the plastic pieces that are glued on off? It looks like you painted and replaced them back on at the end - right? I got the one off the tip fine, but the ones on the scope aren't wanting to come off, and I'm scared to brake the scope.

awesome thanks for the info

I'm looking at getting my first set of armor, and have some standard noob questions. I've used the wonderful search feature for many hours and think that i want either TM's or AP's armor. I'm 5'8" and only 120lbs. I'm 18 so I'd like something sturdy that can hold up for several years (and if i can be rougher with it, and wear it to college parties... would be great) This has lead me toward choosing AP, but the blueish-white annoys me. can anyone talk about AP armor? i've seen lots of stuff for TM on these forums but not a lot of AP.
