that's kinda what i thought. but wasnt very sure. so for the time being, if i want the grappling hook and com, i need a hero helmet?

HAHAHAHAHAHA and that's a great point. i dint even think of that. great pic :peace:i never did like frank.

wait... who's Mr. FLakey? lol. i dont know that one off hand.... yeah billy, i bet nobody at the time would have been able to guess that there'd be a group of people that pick and pry at each detail of the movie. lol. nobody at the time probably cared to think too much into each detail down to how many ribs there were in the neck seal of which suits. haha i'm starting to kind of see your point on a general basis, but same time, the trooper style only shows up once and happens to be both types. was lukes suit the anomaly? or was the one before him? that's why i see it different than things like mr nostripes... because things like that were obvious anomalies...

there's also the screen cap from after the trooper goes into the millenium falcon and "luke" comes out when the line "TK421 why aren't you at your post" line comes along. that's also a stunt suit... if i'm not mistaken i think that might actually be a 3rd person in the "421" armor.... but still, there's that screen cap too. i dont know if that little bit makes a difference but just a thought. i didn't mean to open a can of proverbial worms, just a question based off of an opinion of mine. i can see the argument where "Mr. No Stripes" should be amended if this does, but same time that IMHO that's an insignificant detail, kinda goes into the same category as when a few TK troopers are missing their ab plate buttons periodically... though i dont recall that in ANH just ESB.. but still. also other things here and there. the reason why i see the quirks differently is because the one or two troopers here and there with a detail "wrong" could be simply a form of "battle damage" where this isn't really something that'd go wrong during a blast fight... i must say this is one of the oddest arguments i've ever started. haha

this might be a repeat question, but..... ok i have to ask. i've been getting all of my details slowly prepped for my soon to be application for EIB. just have a few small details to cover first... most of my studying came from movie clips and a little refferance to the EIB requirement list... the error (or at least i think it's one) that i noticed is that in order to have the commlink and grappling hook you have to have a hero suit. i'm prepped for a stunt. at least my helmet is, and that's the hardest to revert. i know that while Luke is wearing the suit, it's a hero suit. but before he takes it (at least in my opinion) it is clearly a stunt trooper. flat lenses, three screws on the ears and (im not 100% sure on this but) the extra tooth is cut out in the helmet... it gets a little blurry when zooming that much on my PC, but i'm certain those are the details... i could be wrong, but if i'm right... shouldn't there be a revision to the EIB requirements allowing the stunt troopers to have the grappling hook and commlink? am i right or wrong? either way, i want to suit as stunt, and i really want the grappling hook and commlink.... can i do this? or am i misreading something? please help

i've looked into metal suits of armor before, i plan to eventually get one.. the best style i've found is the "white knight" but it cost about 1,500... funny how i passed it up before getting my TK suit because it was expensive. haha

looks like you had a little too much fun posing for some of those shots. haha. excellent work work man. congrats on the easy pass

and there's three nines... so you've got 2,3,4,5,6 in the mix hidden in your ID. haha

the welding and cement stuff are great, but same time, if it's someones first build, wouldnt you generally recommend against something like that? for the chance that if they mess up, they can fix it without worrying about damaging the parts....

i picked mine 6533 because the first letter of my soon to be wifes first and last name are M and L, on a key pad are 6 and 5. my name is dustin downs, so on a key pad it's 3 and 3... the funny thing is actually, it was her idea. i asked her to come up with a 4 digit number that had some sort of sentimental value but wouldnt tell her why or what for. after a few lame attempts she came up with 3365. when she told me what it stood for i thought it was really sweet/cute. but then i changed it from 3365 to 6533 because i always put her first. corny as it may be, that's my story lol. great thread idea bro. i love these types of stories

i dont know much about plastruct, but i used E6000 for pretty much everything on my suit. a little hot glue in a spot or two, but that was mainly just for glueing in my foam inserts. also i glued my forearm pieces totally, didnt use velcro on anything aside from my calve pieces aside from some cloth related supports. but that's just me. theres many ways to build a boat. lol. best of luck. i'd say just look at some of the build threads out there and see where they used whichever type of glue/method....

moving is never as easy as it should be. lol. welcome back. can't wait for the pics

haha. i think that'd be funny to troop with from time to time.

they look better than mine. haha. great job

it's scary to tear that stuff up, but only at first... then you just love it. lol. looks great. good luck

i'm with ya on it being faked, but same time the video isnt like reversed or anything... i wonder how they pulled that off ..... i bet he's a jedi :excl:

haha. well congrats on the new rank then. =P anyways. you know anyone in the midsouth garrison that might be able to help me out? i also posted on the 501st forums... but ionno how often people post there, i never really chatted much on there

hey man. yeah i have suited up a few times, but really havent had the time to cruise the boards in a while, working on getting back used to the place. lol. never really been good with forums minus this one. missed ya man, when did you become a 5 star? lol.

ok so it's been a little while since i've been on the boards, but i've been super busy, currently we're planning a wedding. the only real issue is my lady and a few other people have decided it's going to be in Memphis Tennessee and between taking forever on one thing or another, the wedding is in June and we still don't have a place for the ceremony.... so if anyone is in the Memphis area and could help me out with finding a place, that'd be greatly appreciated. anything including just a church would be great she's taking too long so i thought i'd ask my stormtrooper palls for some help. plus... the cool part. i'm allowed two TKs to be at the wedding playing the role as ushers.... but if there's the ability for more... i'll not mind. haha.. so hit me up if you'd wanna be there suited up and again any help would be greatly appreciated.

20mm i think

looks great. glue dear man... GLUE! lol

if by chance it craccks/breaks in between two of the boxes (like mine did) here's what i did. turned out great in my opinion. http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=10766&st=0&p=135030entry135030
