Thicker plastic is harder to trim, and maybe it's a little bit up to the builders as well. If you buy RS I think you are of the mindset to do more research. That's my theory anyway. The fact that the customer thinks it's a larger suit than other makers isn't helping either.

They definitely sharpened up some of the details, even over exaggerating some by not knowing what they were really doing it looks like.

Does this sway your mind? I got permission to post the pictures. NE inside the RS ab plate: Perfect fit. The finkey ridge on the NE inner bicep is ever so slight on the RS. NE just seemed to over accent and sharpen every detail including cooling lines.

Yes.

About NE, we have picture proof, side by side of them in the staff area. But I'm not sure the photographer want them publicly posted just yet. But it's painfully clear it's recast.

That's funny, I've been working on the same thing. Although mine is intentionally made simple. It's still a work in progress and there has been some feedback from other staff members that will eventually work its way into the chart. Btw, if I remember correctly, it was the ears that Gino got from DL. Essentially creating a mix of Brian R helmet with Dave M ears. It should be noted however that my chart doesn't cover linage specifically but more how the different makers relate to each other. Not "this suit is cast from that" although in some cases that might be true. It's just not the purpose of my chart.

You know I don't think they look terrible Billy. It just requires some of that legendary Billhag magic

TM does.

Go to the "Getting started" section. Find the pinned thread dedicated to getting 501st status. Read thread and follow the instructions. Profit. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Sounds like a fair deal to me.

You don't have to use plastic for the snap plates. You can use webbing like some do. The purpose of the tabs is just to give more surface area for the glue to bond with.

Sigh... It is you who don't understand. "Stereophonic sound or, more commonly, stereo, is a method of sound reproduction that creates an illusion of directionality and audible perspective. This is usually achieved by using two or more independent audio channels through a configuration of two or more loudspeakers in such a way as to create the impression of sound heard from various directions, as in natural hearing." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereophonic_sound You can hear in stereo, but that does not mean that when the same sound is heard from the same source, it is stereo. And you can definitely wire up two speakers in mono, you simply play exactly the same sound through them at the same time. One could argue that if you were to wire up microphones at each end of a gun, one by the breach and one by the muzzle that you could record the gun in stereo, as you would get one sound from the powder charge exploding, and one from the bullet breaking the sound barrier recorded into each microphone. But the close distance between these two, both in terms of distance and time, makes it inaudible for both the shooter and the target to differentiate. Thus creating a single channel sound as the two blends together. As for you eyes, don't be silly. There is a reason why 3D movies are called 3D compared to any other movie. Just because you are able in most situations to perceive depth does it mean that it exists in a flat image even when you are looking at it via a stereoscopic device, such as your (assuming) functional two eyes. The movie has to be recorded with a stereoscopic camera (or post-edited) that can caputure two slightly different images to be individually fed to each of your eyes through (today) polarized glasses that block one of the two images from each eye, making them see two different images.

No, you can't. You can however melt it down with acetone to create ABS-paste to use for repairing cracks and such.

If you want two speakers you can simply wire up two speakers in parallel on the same mono channel. Why I'm questioning the stereo feature is because the typical blaster is too small for your ears to even with full stereo to pick up much of the the difference in left/right. Rendering the exercise more or less pointless. It's the horizontal distance between the speakers that makes the difference. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I'm glad you like it. I was pondering over the name myself for a few days but came up empty, until finally turning to wookieepedia to give me something.

About the name of the project, borrowing from Wookieepedia, I suggest "Xciter". It's an exciting project, that makes the prop more exciting for everyone near it, and it sort of fits with it's description on wookieepedia. Plus, it's more catching than "Actuating module", although that part of the fictional blaster is slightly more accurate to the reality. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/XCiter

Why would you need stereo sound? No real gun is stereo...

What kind of problems did you have?

Doesn't matter what he wears, the biceps should still be right above the forearms, regardless of their position. And I'm pointing it out to him now to allow him to take that into consideration before doing something that might interfere.

You can see the cut out here on the back of this shin:

One strap in the meddle and two to the sides. And yes, you can heat it up a little to bend it to fit you better. But be very careful when doing it. Also, you want to lower those biceps so they sit right on top of the forearms. Don't worry if they aren't covered by the shoulder bell. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Here we go. It's not like the later TK face, but it is the same concept trooper faceplate for this TIE pilot
