Hi ppl,
I am starting to assemble my AP shins.. and I am following Stukas flicker pics.
The front area I'll cut using a 10mm trim and a 20mm cover strip.
I have one question though, Do I cut the back part and use a cover strip also for that area?
-
I think you can make these yourself.. no need to buy one. Just get an average measurement then cut some painters tape.. and voila.
I made the Boba fett kill stripes on my ESB Fett, myself without a template.. I'm sure its no different.

Welcome, a Winnipeger here..

Very nice tutorial!

Hey Badger,
I live in a condo with my wife, and all use right now all I use is a good xacto knife, steady hands and 1 hour a night.
My build will be a slow one.. I have the box/suit outside on my patio and some in a drawer.
any ways AP has helmet seconds for sale I think? those are accurate and affordable.
never buy from Ebay!!
we are all here to help.
cheers

Hey peeps,
Not much to show just did some rough trimming, just to get rid of the extra flashing.
I decided to go for ANH this time around and go with a snap assembly, due to ppl saying the wire brackets wont work with a AP set.
here is my trimmed parts so far.
-
ummm, personally i wouldn't do it. try the cutting the return edge & adding foam.
If that doesn't work for you then go ahead.
I have a AP kit, and i have skinny wrists as well but if you take your time and fit it right it will work out.
I had a FX kit back in the day but i made it work with little tweeks and I was a slim guy.

You can also add foam to the interior to make it all snug. That will help!

Ahhh! I see.
Does anyone have pics of the movie troopers wearing mirrored parts?
Thas exactly why I never changed mine, the added part are completely different in shape and stand out, I rather have original parts that match, BTW many armors used in the movie also used same parts for left and right, there's many promo photos showing same arm parts for left and right, one which is very noticeable is the bicep parts.

thx for the info...Mark.

Thx Panda...
I always assumed that AP and TE kits were identical.
So I wonder why after all this time no one has stepped up to the plate and corrected this.
it seems like a simple fix.
I'm a fine arts graduate and I can sculpt... hmmmmm.

Hi guys,
I just started trimming pieces and noticed that shoulder, forearms, biceps are all the same for left & right..
it that how this set is?
I haven't gotten to the other part yet.

Glad you found them Arnold, and saved me the trouble of asking the same question later.
I shoooould be getting my AP kit soon - keeping my fingers crossed!
Hey Ricky!
Do you have any spare plastic and a heat gun? Actually, that sounds like a good way to get fingers burned. Maybe someone has some spares laying around...? Hope you find some.
-
I know...lol
Arn...
lol

THX RT!!

The couple of AP builds that I have seen on here, I believe that the square button covers are on the same piece of ABS as the Ab cover, shoulder bridges, drop boxes, ect...

Hey Gav, your on this site as well
Doh! that reminds me.. I need to send you ppal for the borden.
Mine came with my AP kit, could be an oversight from him? shoot him an email...
-
cool, maybe we can have someone make the parts..
then again I don't want to spent $ on something i could make myself.
Dude, I have the EXACT same issue with my kit. No river/snap covers.
I wish I could point you in the direction of a seller, but I'm also after 3 myself.
Hopefuly someone can post info here.

Hi guys so i finally started cutting some armor, Thx Ripcode for the lexan scissors tip.(and to whoever told him )
It looks the way it's suppose to look. But if I attach it to a canvas belt I can't seem to find anything in my kit to cover the rivets.
Like we see in this pic I found on the net.
Did Mark miss this piece or do I make it myself.
-
Panda do you have a close up pic of your straps? a visual would help..
-
Don't try to heat them... unless you like the disco look!
From what I see the easiest thing you can do is to stitch the elastic part of your shoe in a way as to narrow the distance.
Does that make sense?
good luck.
-
Hey Ripcode,
Great to see you on these forums..
Where did you get those scissors?
-
Paint!
Hi Joer,
