Maybe these if the stamped logo on the side can be obscured?

 

 

i dont think can be oscured

 

today i just got mine bought from ebay

 

they fit ok. Now i have to remove the sewn circle logo and dye with angelus white leather paint as showed here

Painting the shoes is simple. The Angelus paints have good coverage, and are easy to work with. When applying light colors over dark leather, expect to use multiple coats. I had to use 5 coats to cover black leather with white paint, but other colors usually work fine with 2-3 coats. Allow the paint to dry between coats, I recommend at least 20 minutes. As with most paints, several thin coats is better than one thick one!

 

the light stamped logo will be oscured by the armor

Whatever happened to the Reception Center on FISD that was based on the wiki? We had an excellent boot page that had links to the tutorials to make your own boots, but it's no longer there.

 

In fact the whole Tutorials area of FISD is a huge cluster f*** now compared to what it was before - hopefully the new management will get it unscrewed this year. I say this as then it would be just a click to get to what you want.

 

Here was Mark's HOWTO:-----------

link is missing, and i cant' find in this website too.

there is still the google cache up

i bought this

 

[TKBoots problem]

i just bought a pair of johdpur to dye white

[arduino: a cheap board for E11 blaster effects]

i just completed a slight modification:

I plugged the hole on the left side of the counter and I moved the blue LED inside the counter, with the light facing up. In this way we can see the blue pulsing light which indicates the state ON, via the net in front of the counter. Before it was too bright and not very canon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

p.s.

just a note about a new mp3 sound module found that may fit this project. This is the link to the ebay seller

From description datasheet it plays mp3 files via serial RS232 mode (that means can be controlled easily trought arduino), powered by 5volts

it's cheaper (19$ / 15€) and smaller (because it uses micro-sd instead of SD card) and may works fine with arduino.

I just bought 1 for test.

[Jodhpur dye boots]

i bought that Punch product, i will test on a leather surface before going forward in johdpur boots buy.

[Jodhpur dye boots]

very well done

i hope it will resist to scratches

did you use just the paint? one bottle was enought?

[C'e' ancora qualcuno con cui parlare ?]

ci sono anche io

[police trooper, in wich game?]

some time ago i have seen a video on youtube about a star wars game showing a tavern where someone was killed and some police troopers were investigating there (before the jedi or sith came). They had also some police veichles.

 

I was quite sure that game was Star Wars the Force Unleashed II, but i cant find that scene anymore

 

i would like to sample the siren sound from their veichles for a project.

 

Someone know about that scene and the title of the game?

[arduino: a cheap board for E11 blaster effects]

Man if you sold this kit. I would be ALL OVER IT. This is great, and now everything else seems subpar!

thanks, i may consider selling this in the future but, at the same time, i hope you will get the right help to build it, as you said in the other forum

 

p.s.

i added more informations about the battery in the first page.

[HELP- Broke My Hasbro E-11 Circuit - Looking to buy replacment.]

Are first question was where do you get all the sounds?

just send me a pm i will forward you a link where u can get them

[HELP- Broke My Hasbro E-11 Circuit - Looking to buy replacment.]

happy that worked again

very easy fix and soldering work don't worry

[HELP- Broke My Hasbro E-11 Circuit - Looking to buy replacment.]

you may try to connect these 2 points with a wire

if it works again, you may solder the wire

[T-21 A little modification]

thanks for the siren idea, i will add it to my e11 arduino board togheter with red and blue strobo lighting

i remember there are imperial police troopers in star wars unleashed II, may be i can try to sample the same sound effect

that's good to open the way in crowded events

[T-21 A little modification]

cool! what board did u use?

[my helmet that just came in the mail so exciteed to get it finished]

great helmet have a nice time with it!

you already correctly separeted the ears, in my experience i made the error to use the same mold for both sides

[Disney's Very Merry Christmas Parade]

Yep. It's a good bit different from real TK armor. It's well-made, but there's no way it would be accepted under any CRL. LOL...

FYI-I was the only real ROTJ trooper there. Sorry, Disney boys.

to me look like they use the rubies amor+helmet

 

 

[e6000]

E6000 is a bomb

 

just take care when use, avoid breathing it and repeated contact with skin (i use surgical gloves)

 

this product contains a chemical known to cause cancer (perchloroethylene)

[arduino: a cheap board for E11 blaster effects]

This is an amazing thread! Thanks for taking the time to post this in detail.

thanks

 

I am considering on making one for myself. I have the software file for the Arduino. Can you post the sound files in a ZIP file? Thanks.

i sent you a pm

[my pvc/resin/forex blaster with arduino electronic (video)]

Love the fact you have to reload.

love it too

 

Amazing work, Looks like you'll have a steady market if you decide to sell these as a kit, I know I'll want one...Buona Fortuna !!!

thanks i will think about it; i also shared my electronic work (scheme and code) for everyone that wish to made it

 

Thats pretty awesome! Similar to the Hyperdyne set-up. I bet it cost you alot less $$ though haha

yep and i am happy it's working fine

[my pvc/resin/forex blaster with arduino electronic (video)]

The E11 and stun modes with reload behavior, LED and powerful speakers make this awesome for trooping where it's usually loud (conventions). I put a simple board from triktoys on mine and it works but nothing like this and not nearly loud enough. I don't need all the other SFX as I like the idea of a blaster being a blaster. But this is truly amazing and a work of both art and love. Beautiful! If you ever start selling these let me know. :-)

thanks! Actually during conventions i enjoy to use more the "Boba flame" or the "Uzi" light effect because there is a good chance to get the "laser" cached by camera lens

[my pvc/resin/forex blaster with arduino electronic (video)]

thanks and sorry for my bad english in the video ;P

[my pvc/resin/forex blaster with arduino electronic (video)]

this video show some wip pictures and the final work

 

 

the electronic tutorial is here

[arduino: a cheap board for E11 blaster effects]

New pictures of the blaster in action during the past weekend event in Rome (Ludica)

 

 

 

guess wich one is the kenner led..

 

 

 

latest video

 

p.s.

i had to remove the new speaker because of some issues with the mini-amp.

[arduino: a cheap board for E11 blaster effects]

This is great and I'm going to give building it a shot. Does this method allow for RGB LEDs along the barrel like the blaster core version? Thank you for sharing your work.
