  1. Ok... Up until now I have left the black rank stripes off of my ears. But now at various troops I have seen that I am just about the only TK without them. I was starting to wonder if I should put some on my bucket, but the problem is I can't seem to locate any reference to the stripes and what rank they represent. Is everyone just putting random stripes on the ears or did I miss something?

  2. Nothing like your first couple of hours in your armor to let you know why needs to be tweaked. During my first two hour troop I was constantly adding to the mental list of what I had to fix when I got home. After that initial adjustment, I was good to go from then on. Good luck, you'll love it. And remember... Chicks dig armor!

  3. And C6 will be better still. ;)

     

    Best of all, if you plan appropriately you can do both Dragon*Con and C6 in one grand "Tour de Con". They are only a week apart, and the distance between Atlanta and Orlando is easily drivable in a day.

     

    I heard the same thing as you regarding SDCC passes, but to my knowledge there are still plenty of D*Con and C6 passes available.

     

    Ok, sorry if I sound dumb... C6???

     

  4. Hey all.

    I live in Michigan, and want to make the trip to San Diego for that little convention thingy they have there once in my life and am thinking next year is it. A few friends and I are thinking of making a four day trip out of it.

    My question is; Am I going to be able to get tickets? Seems the pre-registration for those who haven't been in the past has not started. Chatter on the web said that it was sold out in 7 hours last year. Don't want to buy plane tix or make hotel reservations without Comic Con tix in hand...

    So who has been that can tell me if I am screwed or not???

  5. I found anything shorter than the 24 hours recommended will usually pop when put under stress. Here us a little trick I learned though. After applying the E-6000 glue to surface to be glued, put a drop or two of quality super glue on top of the E-6000 and stick the pieces together. The super glue will give an almost immediate bond so make sure your placement is correct. Then it will hold solid while the E-6000 cures, allowing some stress like trying on. Works best with parts that don't move. With the snap plates, I am assuming that you are pulling them tight with elastic bands, so you still need to be careful you don't pop seals.

    E-6000 is a superior, flexible adhesive but it takes a long time to dry. Super glue dries fast but does not flex so it is not good on it's own. Together they make the 'superist' of glues... Don't rely on super glue alone though!

  6. I first cut with a utility knife. Buy a lot of blades because once they dull it gets a bit difficult. Then I used the sanding wheel on the dremmel. You can fine trim quite easily without melting. I use a TKittel canvas belt. Got it right here on the forum.

    Also, my gloves are nomex flight gloves as well. They are black nomex and leather. Once your handplates are on the difference is hardly noticed.
