While watching some of EP 7 last night, I noticed that the E-11 barrel is used for the Resistance Freighter weapon(s). Sneaky.... ----------------

Gave the inside a wash with mild detergant and rinsed. Problem solved!!! Back on track, thanks everyone. See you at Dragoncon

Ok, I just wanted to make sure it wasnt some major step I had ignored. I would prefer not to attach the velcro with adhesive so I have a bit more flexibilty to relocate stuff. I will if I have to though I will reply with the outcome. Cheers. Carry on Troopers

Hi all, Something that I have just encountered thats a bit frustrating. I am building a new ABS kit from ATA. While transferring my electronics (amp, sound board, fans and batteries etc) into my new bucket, I have discovered that nothing will adhere to the inside of the ABS. I normally use the heavy duty adhesive Velcro or a combination of normal Velcro and industrial double sided tape, none of which stick. Anyone else seen this or am i missing something here? Any ideas for a solution would be great. I prefer not to glue in the parts but will at a last resort. cheers lads.

Our equipment sees way more use. My recently retired set of armour looks like it has 30 years on it already lol.

Interesting solution there. Thanks for input Steffen.

Good morning fellow troopers!! I havent posted here in quite a while, although i do lurk from time to time Anyway, I've been deep in the middle of building my second ATA kit (ABS) and was curious about the visible snaps placed on the butt plate and the right side of the ab plate. I was thinking about this method for a touch of screen accuracy but I am concerned about long term wear or damage if the snap is installed directly into the ABS. I was thinking about reinforcement on the inside..... Is this a consideration? cheers.

Its been a while since I've been on this forum and dont recall seeing this before. Why, oh why did I click play......

Magnets strategically placed on the inside of the ab plate and back of the belt will fix slippage. It was one of the biggest issues I had when I started.

Ill be there... Will this be a repeat of the march through the convention center... escalator and all?

Hey all, I have finally added the last part of my T21 documentation to my blog. Here are the links to posts: Part 1 http://tk3199.wordpr...r-rifle-part-1 Part 2 http://tk3199.wordpr...r-rifle-part-2 Part 3 http://tk3199.wordpr...r-rifle-part-3 Part 4 http://tk3199.wordpr...r-rifle-part-4 [/background] As I mentioned before thanks to PandaTrooper for the guidelines on this. Mine is already getting beaten up, just after a few troops lol. cheers

As promised. Not sure why glue is looking opaque, maybe the flash. Hope you work out a solution and if you do let us know -----------

Calling the mic tips with built in speakers rubbish is a bit harsh, especially as people take the time to put this stuff together and make it available to us all. Its amazing how many options we have thanks to peoples dedication and ingenuity. It all depends on what the user wants. I am not interested in wires and chest or belt mounted equipment so I use 501st creations hovi tip speakers with the RomFX sound board and I have never had any issues with loudness or feedback. You just gotta take some time installing them and sealing off to avoid feedback. I like the mod above and may give that a try down the road though.....with next set of armor

I have prescription lenses installed in my helmet which i took from my old set of glasses. Figure out where they go in relation to you eyes and use hot glue but use the kind that dry's clear and you do not need much to hold them in. Mount them directly to the bucket lenses (dunno about bubble kinds though) You cannot see them from the outside either and as far as the prescription changing, don't worry about it. Unless your sight radically changes just make do with a weaker prescription. If you get new glasses just rotate the old lenses to the helmet. My Helmet is an ATA so the installed lenses sit in almost the same position as glasses do. Works great. In 18 months I have only redone the glue once. I will snap photo or two after work and post them up this evening.
