Best Deathtrooper I have ever seen, You have motivated me to kill my ANH Hero sir. Your deathtrooper looks like it actually came out of the ground with all the other filthy stinking zombies, I can almost smell the decay.

<speechless> *wipes drool from mouth* </speechless>

so there is an approved zombie trooper.....excellent

I will try it this weekend thank you

Thanks guys, I will try to sand it, I have the sandpaper, thenuse some glass cleaner or something. As you said if all else fails I can buy new ones

I am new here and I believe I might have made a huge mistake. I dripped the ABS cement onto the eye-lens, I quickly grabbed Methyl-ethyl Ketone to wipe it off. This Caused an even bigger problem it left the lens cloudy. I was hoping that it was only the remnants of the paste and I could maybe wipe it down some more but I don't want to take any more chances with MEK. not a great picture but you get the idea. What do you guys suggest?

Where did you purchase the dye and finish?

I am very very new to all of this, I did just buy my first kit with a helmet. I am finding lots of deviations from the intended instructions in the kit. All I have left is legs forearms, hands, and final nelmet details. I say it is all I have left but I need to accomplish lots more trimming to fit me. I may have to be in the suit for a few hours, So I will need comfort. This has been 2 weeks of work. I have used; Hot glue gun blue paint Gray paint Black Paint ABS Glue, Drill Drill Bits. Industrial Velcro strips (sticky back 15 feet)almost gone (I am still new to this so I can only describe noobish perspective REGRETS; Not finding a way to temp install Velcro for fit not taking my time with helmet to avoid sanding and reglue not taking the time to watch movies for detail instead of blind instruction following..This put my straps in weird places, I should have fit it to me. Watched the youtube videos of people armoring up to see how their builds work As stated I am very new to tho, I just want to help you avoid some of the mistakes I have made.

This is the same way we remove rivets from nut-plates on Aircraft. Our Sheet Metal guys drill the middle out and typically it will break the rivet. I won't beat the proverbial dead horse but Heat is a usual issue and I know this plastic melts. But if you start out with a smaller bit you can carefully work your way up till it breaks the back piece off. Do as SCtrooper says with the pliers and you will be fine.

Purchased a few decommissioned magazines for the E 11 specifically. I can get some more (maybe, if the antique store is not sold out)I am very interested in the folding stocks too. Edit: i apologize the magazines that I have are for 5.66 rounds. The Sterling L2A3 used 9MM. Sorry about that.
