That drop box looks very weird to me...

Guess I'll be waiting until I come over next time

I think I am going to try lengthening the strap between my bell and my upper arm and then shortening the connection between my bell and my bridge. As it is currently if I make it tighter between my bell and bridge all it does is pull the material of my bridge out and looks like crap. Thanks again for all the advice!

I added another snap to shorten my strap between my bell and my bridge portion but all that did was tug the bridge portion (a piece of material like cotton same as my belt) out. I guess I should lengthen the strap between my bell and my upper arm?

So you didn't attach them directly in the center on the inside of the shoulder bells?

I just have to make sure I reach up and pull them forward before each picture

I'm a little bigger (probably pushing the limits of my ATA but everything else modified fits just fine ) but my shoulder bells keep "rotating" back. This was not an issue before I connected my upper arm pieces to my bells on the inside. Does anyone have any advice? I would not be against picking up a RT Mod set if they are larger. I just feel like my shoulders might be too big for these ones... In this photo you can see that my bells and upper arms were not connected so my bells were closer to my body: Should I cut off some of the return edge on it to get it more flush with my upper arms? Any input is greatly appreciated!

Very cool!

I guess lots of people recommend E6000 but I hate it! If you're going to use ABS glue or cementer or whatever be prepared to screw up (on your first armor!) and be ready to use a dremel to get the gunk off. ATA should have sent plenty of extra ABS for the strips so you should have extra if you ruin your current strip.

Looks like a render instead of an actual photo to me... trash.

I disagree with the above posts. While the inside of my bucket is white I wish I would have painted it black. I like the idea of kids not being able to look up and see anything but black!

Any plans for printing a "6 years in serving the empire" shirt or anything? Could be fun...

Beautiful example of a great TK

I sent you both a guest pass. I accept gifts in the form of patches if you feel so inclined

Oh shoot! I used all of my Guest Passes. If you can't find one let me know I probably have a few friends with some left

That actually makes a ton of sense. I'll have to try that out...

Here's a pretty cool shot from a troop this weekend. Problem I'm having is my bells keep rotating back. Maybe my shoulders are too large for them to fit on correctly but other troopers don't seem to have the issue I have. Any tips? My bells are connected by a piece of material with snaps on the shoulder bell side sewn to the material that holds my chest together. There is a strip of velcro holding the bells straight to the biceps!

That's so cool Ingrid! You hoping for LA to make it in? It would be fun to do a TK action figure with a girl's head...

I think it was a GI Joe action figure. Not entirely sure, though... I had to paint the hair darker and cut down the neck, etc.

I could make you one... shoot me an email! anphrax@gmail.com I've ordered an Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen, and I'm on the waiting list for custom carded figures. But remember you have to send him your custom action figure... I don't think he does those (anymore at least...)

Has anyone else done this? Was pretty fun making myself into an action figure It'll get carded one of these days! (Bucket on / bucket off versions )

I've found that it is really hard to explain but when you start rattling off the amount of money raised every year by the 501st alone I think it kind of clicks for people.

I'm not exactly sure but you might look in LadyInWhite's signature -- there is a link to her build in there!

Very cool! Congrats Terrell!

That looks nice! This is mine:----------- It probably has enough room for a TK and one other if packed well. I considered getting my girlfriend into a con or something with it because it's so big!
