Hi mate,

 

What a great gift from the wife!! I dont want to put that down in anyway so please dont take this post as anything derogatory against that as I think for your wife to have bought you a suit is just fantastic

 

 

 

Speak to Ian Maginn on UKG forums (PM him) he got cleared in a modded JR suit, however, being up for a challenge is one thing, wearing an accurate suit is another, so the advise you have gotten from the UKG boards is spot on as we just want you to be a happy trooper and the JR suit will leave alot to be desired, so if you can sell it on the bay and pick yourself up a "different" set its all good, and Im sure your lovely wife will also be over the moon to see you so happy.

Have fun

[Disinfecting Armor]

Being from the UK I have no idea what heat build up is as its been raining here for the last 6 months

[More sniper plate questions! It sneaks under the thigh. Fixes?]

I did the same: I got a piece of white styrofoam and wedged it in there so that the sniper plate was angled outward and then glued it in. I haven't had a problem since.

 

My fix is a soft foam pad fitted inside the thigh armour at the back as this pushes the thigh armour against the thigh at the front thereby allowing the sniper plate to sit clear, I mounted the sniper plate as normal so not the same way as yours just a different way of doing it. Dont want to be picky just highlighting that there are 2 different approaches here

[More sniper plate questions! It sneaks under the thigh. Fixes?]

I use a pad (foam wrapped in gaffer tape velcro'd on) on the inside rear of the thigh to push the front of the thigh flush with my actual thigh and this keep sit clear of the plate and avoids snags and the plate going under the thigh

[The box has arrived :) [*TM]]

Bet you've worn the lid and just looked in the mirror

[Armour marks - Any tips?]

I got marks a plenty and just leave them for that used look

[Greetings from London]

And what about me Bill? I shouldn't even try to pop up on UKG too?

 

I think he meant you so what are you waiting for go here - - - - - ->>>>> http://www.ukgarrison.co.uk/site/ and we will welcome you all over again

 

 

"I got a TM, makes me feel funny like when we used to climb rope in gym class"

[Should I trim the top of the thigh armor?]

What can also help on the left thigh is to put some padding at the back of the thigh to bring the front flush to your leg as this allows the sniper plate to stay in front of the thigh and not go under or collide with it.

[Help me out here! (Reassure me please!)]

Hi Kendall

 

I had 3 reasons for buying armour

 

1. I love Star Wars and wanted a set of armour after seeing some at an event in the UK in 2006.

 

2. I wanted to troop and play at Star Wars at events such as the one I first saw armour at in 2006

 

3. I wanted to do something charitable and this gave me an oppurtunity to do that whilst having fun

 

Events to attend can be as organised by your local Garrisons, or it may be a friend asks you to do their kids birthday, the choice is yours. Obviously Garrison events have the safety of spotters and numbers.

 

When not in the armour, get yourself a mannequin and display it as it is awesome

 

hope that helps

[Help with fogging.]

I had fogging at a troop today and someone gave me a wet wipe I wiped the lenses went back out and had no further problems. My lenses are sealed more or less, this fix was cheap and effective.

Looks nice buddy good luck

[Daennika's build[*AP]]

Why did you cut the cod from the ab? I know the butt and kidney is separate but not the cod/ab?

 

Apart from that, good going for 5 hours

[TK-9496 Requesting [ANH] EIB Status[187][AP]]

Looks lovely, good luck Jenny. My only observation is your belt looks to be hanging a little low (first image after blaster photos), have you got it sanpped to the AB or just loose?

Thank you all, you are most kind
