Didn't know SGB did a TK. Its not all that great. Kev's is a far better TK helmet. SGB makes some awesome stuff though... Mostly Clone.

Dragon Skin Rubber Now I am thinking... Could brush it on the inside of your existing built Thighs. The look would be seamless. It would be a little tighter though, that would be the only thing I see as a down side. But they would fit like a glove. Not sure if its shiny.

I believe that Correct refers to Hovi style, not Sink faucet parts. Should be good to go on the MRCE...

Rivets are not the way to go.. To permanent and will look like poo... There are really only 2 rivets I can think of that you need and that is for the thigh box and the knee plate. To TM you listen... that is the Ideal way to attach them. I have used Velcro, but they pop off from time to time.

You and Stuka are high water marks to shoot for with my set. Wonderful looking armor. Great job.

Just remember.. All TK lids save for the FX are twist ons. There is no just plunking it on your noggin. Watch the movie, even small fry Luke twists it off.

Great thread. Also Great find. For accuracy... Yep.. I think Latex. It is cheap to make. The molds are hard to work on, but it seems that only a few have em on anyways. Now today if one were to make em I say Dragonskin tinted white. Man, those would be comfy! Didn't ESB have Vinyl shins as well?

Yep!

In the 7 I have had in my hands, the sizes would go like this... FX, ANHv2, TE2, CAP, TM, MRCE, AP An oversize scan of the helmet would be cool, as well as black.

I just wanted to tell you all that today's troop was an awesome one. I didnt get to many pics, but some did and will share them with me. We had our farewell service in the park for our departing church family today. Last night I finished up the armor tweeks I needed to do, boxed it all up in his tote, bagged the helmet, installed FBJ's Belt and straps, the holster that was donated, Made sure the patches were in place and dug out Vader for today. It was 80 degrees, and I had no place to change, but Made it work. It was a short troop, for its an outside one, and Vader is a hot costume in the sun. So after our outside service, I armored up. As I and my handlers snuck up on Steve, the teens brought his box over. Vader told him he has work to do, and for that work he will need armor. When the box was opened, He was totally in shock. He was given the AP helmet and put it on. Vader then Knighted him with his saber. I then showed him his sholder bell, that has the verse from the bible Ephesians 6:10-18. One happy new trooper. He was so thankful for all that was donated. I explained that his blaster and gloves will be here soon and I would send them on. The only thing he needs to pick up is an under suit and a pair of boots. His wife had tears. What a wonderful day. He told me later on, while I was explaining the costume, that he had just looked at the 501st site trying to figure out how to go about getting armor. He was planning on me asking today. Maybe after Japan, the Empire City Garrison or the Socal garrison will get a motivated trooper. I will be directing him to the FISD, as for he really wants to thank all of you Guys. As do I. Thanks for making one memorable day for a long time Star Wars Fan. Nate PROUD 501st!

De burring plastic is a snap with one of these... Click me... Copper huh! That will be worth a penny huh! How much will that weigh? Good work...

Sure.. Ill just send them on to them. They are not leaving Japan, so Ill have their addy. Cool man! Ill let him know he has gloves as well! You are all Awesome. Makes a trooper feel good there are so many great guys here.

I like silly...

Sorry for the lack of updates... Yes, Patches are here, along with a second care pack. I am sure the blaster will arrive, I have faith! I am cleaning up his armor today, making sure all is ship shape and Ill be doing a ton of pics Sunday. He will be one happy trooper!

Aint that the truth.

That is a stack that rocks man. COMP SHOTS!!!

Those last boots are bad...

Man.. Sweet armor to go with that blaster! Two home runs my friend! I gotta get my suit done. I just hope I can get it as nice as you all's suits!
