  1. woot! Made it! Now to begin the EIB tweaking, then Cent Tweaking! http://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=12868&costumeID=124
  2. thanks very much gents!!! actually it's only AM shoulders and biceps...the rest is MonCals which is a TE I believe, used elastic white material to close up sides. The way the legs are feeling though I may have to use the AM legs too, armor biting the crap out of me!
  3. Hey all, Long ago I start an AM kit and then instead went with a new kit through MonCal, a shoulder surgery and recovery later and I am back in business. Just wanted to share my 99% compelte pics, still need to do some clean up on the 'armor bite' spots and tweek the fit, but all in all pretty pysched. Holding a droppy mod hasbro e-11, but have a droopy pipe buildin progress, and unfortunately I had to use AM Shoulders and biceps becaseu my arms dont damn big shoudlers!
  4. Yah I am a sucker for giving GL my money! I can't wait for it to release.
  5. hey all, was searching, but getting all sorts of random results, is there a link to installing the lenses, trying to get them into my VT helemt and it was sort of .....not good....so I stopped and decided to research before I ruin the greens.
  6. Thanks Daetrin! The other troulbe spot for me is the butt and crotch plates, they just jump all over the place and pop out at the top.
  7. I was wanting to glue as well, but need marking help before I cut and fit the back seam.
  8. Time for a well over due update. I have to finish back seems on legs and calves, but it seems pretty difficult to get good marks solo, so need my GF to help. My VT helmet next to my AM helmet (VT on Left) My VT Helemt in good light (feedback welcome I think i did great but I am still a noob, ear stripes, and green lense not installed yet, just followed VT build directions and build tips from here....that Rustoleum performance white is awesome!) Annnnnd My Hasbro Droopy Build, and Droopy pipe build in progress (anyone have powe cylinders they dont come with pipe kit!)
  9. hey all, didn't post up pics becaseu I put a couple turns on the ear screws and the trim is snug as a bug now. Thanks though, if it gets to where it's falling out I am jsut gonna glue it.
  10. Yah, will post up tongiht when I get home.
  11. it's the trim that came with the VT, looks like the same trim TK-4510 sells.
  12. Working on a VT helmet, things are going great, but all snugged up and riveted the brow trim seems like it doesn't grip very tight against the brow plastic. Is it ok once the helmet is painted to tack it down in spots with a little glue? I don't see the need to pull it off once done, but wanted to hear some thoughts on this. thanks!
