Double snaps can be the difference between trooping and not, especially in areas that can take some strain as you can occasionally have them pull through the elastic.
Personally I find that just folding the elastic over itself at each end where the snap sits works just as well and uses half the amount of snaps.

Alright, I didnt' know that our CAPCHA key was not working with invisible capcha. I'll switch back to the older one. I made the change to lessen the amount of spammers.

I'm willing to put an airsoft BB into my 2mm ABS TM if that helps.
Just remember to not use the accurate but flimsy acetate for your eyes on the helmet.

He should have at least posted some pics. I have a similar E-11, and European demilling genrally means fewer cut parts and also more mobile parts than US. Anyway, this topic is about the Denix MG34. And for people who cannot use real weapons as base for their Star Wats blasters, this Denix replica is fantastic.
Indeed, various regional laws make it a mess. I could own a full auto AR-15 lower (which would be a machine gun in the US) without issues, but I can't own a barrel which is unregulated in the US but a firearm here.

Real steel?
He means actual firearms. But forgets that the US is not alone in this world.

Screen accurate builds since as early as 2010 at least, have been built without the shoulder-bicep strap.

Great minds think alike! I had also found that video and my next step was to try my heat gun, so far i had tried very hot water but it didn't seem to have much of an effect.
Best of luck!

Heya!
My gloves are rubber gloves, not cloth, and I already have cotton liners.
The issue is that the latex itself is warped.
I’ve tried heating it and reshaping it be it hasn’t worked.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkAh, alright. Well perhaps more glue will keep them down. Otherwise I'm not sure. Hopefully you can reshape them if you try again. Perhaps this video has some tips

Hmm. Looks like two issues, yes they are a bit warped, but using cloth gloves wouldn't hold them down very well. Latex handguards more or less requires rubber gloves for the proper look and adhesion.
When using rubber gloves it's important to use glove liners in cotton or lycra or it will get uncomfortable really quick.
-
How warped are they? Got a picture?
Latex is the more accurate alternative. But it is indeed stiffer. Silicone works well if you're going for an accurate but "idealized" look.
Should you choose to stick with latex but worry they are coming of the gloves, some CA glue should work to hold them down.

You should be able to find sheet aluminum in a well stocked craft / model making store. Or even large home improvement stores.

Ah, wasn't aware that this is because of security reasons.
Thanks for mentioning, Glen.
Since your username is public, everyone knows what it is, and thus has 1/2 things they need to log in as you. All they need is to guess your password. Using the email which is not publicly shown, one would have to guess both the email and the password, making things much more difficult.
It also brings us more in line with how "every other site" with a login works. Which is good in of itself. Consistency is good.

Screen accurate to which suit? The video you saw might be looking at a different suit. Not all were assembled exactly alike. RS will build to match their original suit that they own though.
I would have kept it as it was.

I used my magic admin powers to impersonate you, and I could view every thread I tried. Do note that some sections of the forum are off-limits to you until you're cleared 501st TK.

Yeah... But. How to know if it is too much cutting?
What about yours? How long is the strip that runs through the middle of the bell?

That is all highly individual and only you can know how much is enough by testing and testing again.

You absolutely 100% have my permission to use these pictures as you wish.
I don't have much more to add at present, hopefully I'll be having a meeting with the scanners mid week so there may be a bit of movement but ideally I would like to have these out there before the end of the year.
Thanks!
I'm also really happy to hear of your plans to replicate these beauties!

Can we put these images in the forum gallery?

Conscious this is an older thread but can you still get the embroidered ‘rocker’ badges?
Aside from your question being quite off-topic, yes. We have runs of detachment patches about once a year.

Nothing the be confused about. Just look at the picture above. 2 screws in total. One above the ear bumps and one at the bottom.

I've checked tapatalk and we still have the latest non-beta version installed so until I understand the issues better there's not much I can do about it.

Tapatalk is a third party plugin, and the forum doesn't know if the changes will break tapatalk or not, which is why I've never recommended relying on it for your needs. The forum (when it works properly) renders really nicely in a mobile browser so you can always use that instead. I may need to check if there is an update to tapatalk that needs to be applied.
The double posting happens as a result of you pressing "save" more than once, probably because the forum is slow and you imagine that the first time pressed didn't register properly.
As for the updates, there was a major update a few days ago, and another security patch after that. Server performance was in the drain and applying the upgrade was a challenge in itself but it's been pretty stable since.

I kind of like having the snaps able to rotate. And not even once has any of my snaps failed. But I use heavy duty snaps so that might help.
