    Welcome Wes!

     

    Yes, the questions will come. I've been doing this "a while" (but not as long as some by a long shot) and STILL have questions. B)

     

    Sounds like you're researching though... so good on ya!

    Keep it up, and you'll be white and shiny (or dirty) sooner than you can learn Shyriiwook.

    Thought I'd add this into the post...

     

    It's of our 19 month old Scottlyn... she loves watching me work on armor in the "Imperial Work Shed." She's also just a big Star Wars fan in general already.

     

    Anyway, a couple of days ago she picked up a piece of scrap I cut off my Troopermaster set and started carrying it around saying, "Armor."

     

    Today my wife, Celeste, put a piece of tape on the back so she can "wear" it. She loves it. I'm so proud! :D

     

  12. Trik Toys Voice Amp vs Rom/Fx

    in Electronics for Helmets / Blasters

    Posted

    Rumor is for a new voice card from a new supplier (not trik toys).

     

    I tried out the new trik toys card a few months ago. I promptly returned it for a refund. I think it cost about $130-$140.

     

    I am glad to hear the Aker is working for you though...

    I was just going to post the same thing!!!

     

    Rumor has it too that this is an AMAZING voice card... simply amazing!

    OK, updates made. Please review and do let me know if I mssed anything. I'll leave this up for the rest of the week before moving final break-outs to the detachment only area.

    The only thing I notice is under Ab Plate is says, 'Question: Should we specify a single snap must be visible on the crotch tab? If so, what size/spacing?'... even though it's still a question it should say, 'Question: Should we specify a single brads/split rivets must be visible on the crotch tab? If so, what size/spacing?'

     

    Good jorb! :duim:

    Glad this is coming together!

     

    First off, Paul (Troopermaster, not Daetrin) while I don't know that I personally will ever own a full on "prop-replication" suit I can not swear an oath that I will not. Regardless of that, however, I do not think you are wasting your time and believe an award for such a thing could be, possibly "should" be, and most likely will be part of the FISD at some point in the not-so-distant future. This is, of course, coming from me as a simple member here and has no bearing on any knowledge I may be presumed to possess; for I do not indeed possess such presumed knowledge... that I can swear on.

     

    Secondly, I believe "side gaps" are easy enough to deal with. I would leave it on a case-by-case basis with the wording as of such which states they should be minimal not allowing any which are larger than seen on screen. It is true this could become continuos in certain requests for Centurion status; posting of relevant screen references for those who believe they are within the on-screen limits would simply be a requirement and the burdon of proof would fall onto the submitter if a question arose.

     

    Glad to hear about the boots... and I find scuffing to be completely worthy!

     

    Thank you too Paul (Daetrin, not Troopermaster) for the reminder on the intent of the program! :salute:

     

    Looking forward to the ESB requirements and hoping my build, as it is, will meet those as well as it's meeting these... haha B)

    It is kinda funny when you start to talk about driving distances and places in Ohio are closer to me than some of the places in Texas. I am just north of Dallas near the Oklahoma territory...or it might be a state now. And being in NM you are a lot closer to much of Texas than I am. LOL

     

    yeah its a geographical oddity 16 hrs from everywhere. (Oh Brother Where Art Thou reference for those not familiar with the film)

    Then you have those in Australia which as states the size of 3 or 4 Texaseses put together! :blink:

     

    AND, friends I had from Japan who were in OKC once with me and wanted to drive to Rodeo Drive (in CA) for the afternoon to shop. They got out a map and showed me where we were, and showed me CA. Another friend of mine drew Japan on top of the map. They were a bit surprised. :D

     

    :lol: So yes, very funny geographic stuff!

    Okay... here are my notes (finally).

    I am only commenting on the "red" items.

     

    00. « no notes...

     

    01. « I agree on the elimination of the MRCE and ANHv2 buckets. I don't believe it needed to list all buckets that are acceptable. Neck trim should be closer to screen used than not, but I don't think it should be an issue. No need to specify which bumps are painted. Hand painted tears and traps or decals that simulate hand painting are okay. Again, it's the "look" that is being met here, not the technique.

     

    02. « no notes...

     

    03. « Yes to all of these, including stating they need to be connected with the white elastic band.

     

    04. « I agree.

     

    05. « no notes...

     

    06. « I'd be happy either way with this. I don't believe having them should prevent Centurion status... but...

     

    07. « I agree.

     

    08. « I agree.

     

    09. « I would make this read, "Chest and back should be connected with a white fabric or preferably elastic strap at the shoulders."

     

    10. « Change "little" to "little-to-none" and then leave "or minimal." Redundant, but as it reads now it should overlap a little.

     

    11. « no notes...

     

    12. « I agree with Paul here that this status should allow a minimal gap in the sides. Because something is required for EIB doesn't mean it has to be required for Centurion — much like the pack on the MEPD side. This is one thing though that I believe should be changed ON the EIB... which is a whole other story. To me, getting into that story a bit, having a small black line of a "visible" seam is so much better than having a big piece of white smooth plastic slapped in to cover it. I agree with the rest of this one — if the 'one visible snap' means the male snap on the top right corner of the ab-plate. The word "bottom" is confusing there.

     

    13. « I agree.

     

    14. « Yes, I believe snaps should be visible. No, I don't think decals work. Decals work for the bucket because it's a thing (ink on paper) representing a similar thing (paint). If someone wants to put "fake" snaps then that's fine. But they should be three-dimensional "things". Otherwise the slippery slope says decals for the ab plate buttons are okay... on a flat plate.

     

    15. « I agree. And yes, mention the sides of the belt need to be angled.

     

    16. « no notes...

     

    17. « Are there no visible rivets on the ammo belt in ANH? (I'm still learning.) If that's true, then yes... that should be the case I think. Again, what is the look. As for the trimming of the ammo belt, I think yes. If there is a standard.

     

    18. « Question; no visible rivets on the trapezoid knee plate? Again... is this the case? If so, then yes.

     

    19. « I agree with the seam. I don't think they need to be scuffed. And I think TKBoots are fine.

     

    20. « no notes...

     

    21. « I agree.

     

    22. « no notes...

     

     

    Hope this helps!

    Great job guys! :salute:
