Dynamic1, any chance you could move your pictures to a different hosting site? I'd really like to be able to see the progress of your build. Thanks.

If you wear glove liners (like you're supposed to) it's not that bad with the rubber gloves. I've done multi hour troops in summer heat without issues aside from sweaty liners.
Can you give me an idea of what to look for in a glove liner? Thanks.

Where did you get the silk gloves? Thanks.

Cool to see a different armor build. You're Boston is awesome!
-
Where did you get your ST armor, Sally, uh, Tony?
Gee, Tony has all the nice toys.Almost done with the armor, small sample of the helmet not to mention the new audio and cooling system.

Glad to see another TD in progress! Near the bottom of the following link are details on what's required for SWAT.
Unless something has changed the interior of the helmet won't be scrutinized. The details, especially the wreathing will though. Start gathering resource material on the trooper you're interested in. Getting all of the parts required for your backpack can be a long term process depending on which backpack you have to do. The construction process for the armor is the same as the TK so the tutorials here will be helpful. Look at the SWAK applications on the MEPD to get a feel for how the process operates.
Have you decided on which trooper you're interested in yet?

$1K?! I could almost buy my own ship for that.

Okay, thanks. I may be going to St Louis in a couple of weeks and could stop by there.

Okay, thanks for the advice gentlemen! I'm wanting something that can stand up to hammering. Tony will attest that me and setting snaps don't get along so well.
Where can I find Harbor Freight coupons? Amazon looks to have the same bench with free shipping, but it costs a little more. Harbor Freight looks like they would charge a freight premium to send it.

Hello all,
I'm looking for advice on a tool bench or table to work on while building armor. It needs to be non-permanent since I live in a rental house, but sturdy enough that it doesn't wobble around when being used. Would like to keep it affordable as well. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Nothing wrong with being dirty.

Hi neighbor! Congrats on the new armor!
-
Good luck with the build! How did you manage to get the kit?
-
Looks great so far! Proud Boston owner as well. Is that a former roommate in the BBB picture?
-
Go dirty you won't regret it! The link posted above to the MEPD is your best source for TD related information.

I ordered on May 4th and mine will arrive tomorrow.

Traitor!
I wish I lived next to Tony so I could
steal,borrow, admire all of his wonderful toys. Great job as always!-

Amazing, amazing, amazing! (And the vest looks nice too
). -
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the legs would be a pain to put on as a one piece. Also wonder why the butt plate isn't already attached to the back plate.
Cool pics though. I'd volunteer to do this if given the opportunity - as most people on here would.

Hail to the master!

Jimmi Prep Checklist
in TFA Stormtrooper
Posted
Hello all,
I'm contemplating getting a Jimmi's TS armor kit. I've read through some of the build threads but am trying to get a one stop list of everything needed to prepare the armor for paint. That includes personal protection gear needed to work with fiberglass as well as the sanding, primer, plasti-dip (?), etc. If someone could help me out, I'd be very thankful.
