being ESB, we're meant to not have those for Expert Infantry status Remember that insane list I showed you a few pages back? One of the blue things was not having those straps I had to pull mine out for my Expert badge

LOL It actually looks worse than it really is there, because of my gloves But yeah, as long as the ladiez are happy, I'm not stressed

5'10", don't even know my weight (120lbs or so, at a guess) Took a lot of modding to make my FX kit fit me at all

At least it managed to pop up in RotJ

do you mean the strap that goes across the bicep from the corners of the shoulder bell?

yeah but you can even see the marks where the Hengstlers fell off on those ones Wait, you can see that on George's And it's an M-38 scope Okay I feel better now And this pic never stopped being awesome, in spite of my ocd-ing there

hey there is one way you could up the ante You could be the droid he's looking for For xmas, right And then get a portrait done like so for your anniversary And by then 'Best Girlfriend Ever' will have lost all meaning

kicking bottom all around Cheers man

argh just noticed that his blaster is ESB Cannot unsee LOL

could he be any more full of win? Dude deserves a Nobel Prize for Awesomeness

Sorry for the slow reply here I really didn't have to trim too much at all Here's one of me standing -------- They look pretty much normal when I'm standing Cheers btw, this kit didn't start off looking so good

IT'S NOT EVEN DECEMBER YET! Now you have to buy another present! Good luck beating that effort!

AP can be tricky Might need some severe clamping to get it to sit nicely, but you'll win with determination I would strongly suggest not using pop rivets They look terrible and will affect you going for higher awards in future, should you decide to

yeah those FX lids might be symmetrical, but they're a bad trip for sure

this thread is making my sides hurt I think my head has gone wonky At least the lid will fit better

shouldn't have said anything We'd have been none the wiser We'll make a Stealth Trooper of you yet

YES! You're the man, Mathias!

If screen-derived lids are drunk, Are FX lids on bad mushrooms or what? /philosoraptor

you could always convert to RotJ, it might be less effort

you can also do them with a straight clip if you like Like so ----------- It sits nicer on the belt, and IIRC is how the original clips were shaped My §0.02

I am a level 2 ESB, I got mine from Trooperbay, they're nice, and very easy to deal with When you get them, be aware that there is a left and right to the tube stripe decals Lots of people don't realise this and put them on the wrong sides Starwarshelmets.com is great for reference pics of this detail

I recommend just posting your pics to Failbook and linking from there I've been doing it for ages

Or are we talking about pipe built kits? Doopy's ain't just Doopy's There's a few kinds, with varying durability Mine is an aluminium pipe, so it's probably tougher than a PVC one or a solid resin one Hard to think how it would compare to a Hasbro (the Hasbros are durable for different reasons, there's a lot less resin to break, and they're lighter, so they're less likely to 'damage themselves' as it were, by bumping your leg in the holster and such) Anyway Literally hundreds of kids have handled my blaster, none have ever broken bits off Sure, I wouldn't want to drop it or anything But it has never struck me as fragile (also note I used a stupid amount of glue and hidden screws all over the place) And yeah, Hyperfirms are totally more durable (being almost indestructible)

LOL the mobile site has never worked for me
