Aerators replaced... Pic soon as my wife returns with the camera. Thanks Scott. Kris

See avatar.... except fridays then i can wear a polo.... but no jeans ever... I'm an AV and theatre system design consultant for on old engineering firm. typically I leave the bucket at home

Awesome tutorial for an awesome neck-seal. Nice work. Kris

I can't quite get in there yet, but they are not permanently secured so I can remove them when I tone up just a bit. Ok.... PM will be sent to Stomper... Aerators will be changed soon, unless someone else has a spare bucket they want to get rid of??? Thanks, Kris

It is a fairly recent acquisition, right place at the right time, a garrison mate had it on a mannequin. I had to completely rework the strapping and then do the elite mods. Roger, boxes and neck seal... Thanks, Kris

You know who did the blaster... They are GF originals... (I hope I can keep them that way for historical purposes.) Roger on the boots... I will I just am running out of build time on Julian's clone, I will likely trim the belt today. Kris P.S. Thanks Terry for the kind comments..

Vintage GF Armor and Hero Helmet. Smitty CS-2 Blaster Home made Belt and Holster So how'd I do? Kris

6247 - my birthday sort of... 4/7/62 couldn't get 4762 so I flipped the year to the front. yea, I'm getting old... K

Almost ready... Just need to affix my TD to the new belt then get the photos shot. Kris

The Canvas straps I made go under the plastic straps like shown in the following topic.. http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?s=&a...ost&p=52404 Is that incorrect? Kris

So on the path to elite... Well I purchased a set of GF (armor and bucket) from a garrison mate... I have so far done the following: 1 - Made a fabric belt, shoulder straps. 2 - Cut the cod.. 3 - Made a holster for my Smitty blaster (CS2) 4 - Reworked the straps for the but, cod, shoulders 5 - Made and installed ab buttons. 6 - Glued most seams. 7 - Made side shims. 8 - Helmet configuration ANH Hero. Need to add TD hooks. Helmet fans What else? K

Yep another one of those "first troop" "wardrobe malfunctions".... But it is kind of a cool look... Kris

Thanks Smitty... I owe you one, or two at the Mixer.. K

Perfect Cylinder, no flat flanges... Thanks, K

Just temporary with Velcro. I still need to make the clips (or get them from a friend... hint hint ) The TD falling off was one of those "wardrobe malfunctions" I was referring too.. Kris

FIRST TROOP IN THE TK!!! Had a few minor "costume failures" but all in all a good troop. Kris Photobucket Album

Please update me to 501st Sormtrooper Status http://www.501stlegion.org/members/display...php?userID=8889TK/RC 6247 Hopefully soon to be elite too... Thanks, Kris

I have a 2002 GF.. I just picked up. I had been living on a mannequin. I almost have it re strapped and will be trooping it. And your right it fits like a glove. Kris

Did you use strips or just overlap the glue joints? Kris

Well I purchased a set of GF (armor and bucket) from a garrison mate... I have so far done the following: 1 - made a fabric belt, shoulder straps. 2 - cut the cod.. 3 - made a holster for my Smitty blaster (CS2) 4 - reworked the straps for the but, cod, shoulders 5 - Bought but not installed ab buttons. <_< need to still strap the shoulders, abs, thighs... but before I do I have a question. the suit is currently all velcro seams. Should I glue them? If so should I do the strip trick? or will that just screw it up. Remember this is a vintage 2002 GF suit that until I got it has never been worn (it lived on a mannequin). Thanks in advance for your input. Kris P.S. I'll post pics soon.

Mike, What is the "strapping" or "tie" on the back of the shoulder straps made of? Also are the straps attached at both ends? It looks like the front is floating in the picture. Thanks, Kris

I think I'm aiming for hero, elite. So what do I need to tweak for elite? I have CS-2 Smitty blaster. I figure I need the holster and maybe the cloth belt (not sure which belt this one has) and the blue dots. What else? Kris
