[Am I a little short to be a Stormtrooper?]

5'6" so I hear the line often.  Just reply "aren't you a little ugly to be a wookie?"  It gets a laugh.

[PGHtoolman AM armor build]

Good luck Tim!

[DroidHunter's ATA armor build]

Bill,

 

Looks great, but the cod piece is way too big for you .

[ANH Stunt ATA - First Build]

The right forearm seems much wider than the left.

[Hello from Delaware]

Anthony,

 

Here's a link to the various types of armor.  This should help you in your decision.

[Hello from cold and miserable PA in the middle of March]

Welcome Aaron!  I'm the other guy from NEPA!

[Hey Yinz Guyz from the Burgh (Pittsburgh, PA)]

Glad to see you on this site.  Have fun with your build!

[Need assessment on Ebay Auction ANH Stormtrooper]

The armor kit I purchased brand new (T/MC) cost less than this.

[TK build (MTK)]

Looks great.  Keep up the good work!

[Ibnzbass4 Stunt Build (ATA)]

Hot glue the velcro to the foam.

[Ibnzbass4 Stunt Build (ATA)]

Bill,

 

You are doing great.  I'd be proud to wear that helmet.  It really is nice work.

[Painted Traps]

Bill,

 

Pretty close to the way I painted mine.  I just used tape for the entire process, and did not use a shaped trapezoid to draw lines.  Nice job!

[In Need of Spare ABS for Shim!]

I had the same issue, and Trooperbay was able to send me some very nice ABS sheets.

[Painted Traps]

Looks great.

[Want to get TK armor now and would like some guidance. :)]

I also hope being 5 foot 4 isn't too short for being a TK lol.

Simply reply "aren't you too ugly for a wookie."  It works well and gets a laugh.

[Ibnzbass4 Stunt Build (ATA)]

I think the earcap will cover that and pull it in.  I would suggest mounting the earcap and seeing if it is still an issue.  If it is, you can remove the ear and add an extra anchor.

[Ibnzbass4 Stunt Build (ATA)]

Pictures please!  You don't want anyone to visualize the issue and provide a solution, only to find out that their idea is different than your problem!

[Wiring Speaker Jack for EAS]

I'm working on an EAS helmet and I've decided to replace the original speaker connection on the circuit board with a 1/8" jack so I can plug in earbuds.  I can't read wiring diagrams, so can someone please help me read this? 

 

Here's the diagram that came with the jack, and a picture of the speaker connector on the board.  Where do I put the ground and where do I put the speaker wires?  I only need mono sound, as I'll be using 2 boards to get stereo.  Thanks in advance!

The tube stripes point to the back like a closing parenthesis ))))))))))))))))))))

 

Are you handpainting?  Awesome!

[Ibnzbass4 Stunt Build (ATA)]

 

Like this one kind of...

 

 

Agree - this looks fine.  Quite good actually!

[Ibnzbass4 Stunt Build (ATA)]

Post pics Bill!

[Ibnzbass4 Stunt Build (ATA)]

Bill,

 

Those ears should be trimmed more.  You can still see the wavy part that is excess plastic.  I'd trim the least possible, since they fit well.

 

Ears often fit wonky with gaps.  Its part of the life of a TK. 

[Ibnzbass4 Stunt Build (ATA)]

Looks great Bill!  Now get it done so you can troop with us!
