TK-7186

I know Dave very well and he is a good friend of mine. I was the first one he met at a 501st event and I got him hooked. I helped Dave build his first set or armor, and then he blew right be me and kept going. I now go to him for help with my armor builds. He is not one of those EBAY sellers, and is on Facebook. He sells the AM armor, packs, does commissioned builds (I have seen him at work at his house) and other items. You cannot go wrong working with him.

Thanks

That is a great idea. Is there a way to order with some sort of color number?

One more question, what paint did you use to match the ANOVOS?

Thanks. This was verify helpful.

John - How did he shims on the shin work out? I am running into the same issue for a suit I am building for someone. I was going to Velcro a piece to just the inside, but my GML told me that would not pass. I am trying something similar to the above. Glue an inside piece on one side. Glue another wider piece on top of that so the plastic is now flush with the armor, and then Velcro the other side to the inside. Then Velcro the outside tab as you normally would over that.

Both my TK and TD are from RT-MOD. I am just shy of 6ft and weigh about 218 LBS. I squat\deadlift and I need to trim the thighs to get them to fit. Mostly everything elase fit me without having to trim but, I left extra room in the armor so I could layer clothing for cold events. I can fit in my armor with a Lycra Wetsuit layered with underarmor type cold gear. The COD piece I need to trim. It overlaps pretty high under the AB piece. You will probably not have to do this with your height. If you have instagram, look up TK7186 and you can see photos of how the suit looks on me.

I thought it was a great deal. I ordered another suit for myself and one for my sister. My sister is 4 years younger. She followed me around as kid and now, in our 40's, she is doing the same thing

Sorry if this has been asked, but I was not able to find any information on this. I am helping someone build an AM suit of armor. I have talked to a few people and received different ideas. When velcroing the one side. Is the armor over lapping the other side of the armor and the cover strip is glued and even with the overlapping edge or are you gluing the cover strip halfway on one side and velcoring the cover strip to the other side of the armor? Which one is the norm that most people use? Thanks, Gerrit

I had police check the blasters only because the Mayor was visiting near by when we were filming the episode for Ink Masters a few years ago. Other then that, I have many pictures with local Law Enforcement and no issues.

Some very cool hobbies. From Fishing to Wrestling. I wished I lived closer to take advantage of the archery. My wife is much better at it then I am. We got into the TV show Arrow over the winter. We cannot wait to for the snow to melt so we can go out back and shoot some arrows.

Some of my other hobbies: 1970 Mustang - Not a true Mach 1. Bought car off ebay and when it arrived it had Mach 1 badging, so I left it. 2007 Mustang GT Car Show Nihon Goshin Aikido - Me being tossed around for photos. Probably about 10 years ago. Probably why everything hurts now.

I use the East Bay in colder weather. For indoors and warmer weather I wear a one piece Lycra wetsuit that I have a tailor put an extra zipper in. http://www.wetsuitwearhouse.com/page/WW/666-S807UF02#.VMBtQnx0zcc

Good question. I wonder once the new movies have started will LFL only want newer looking TK's at their events........

Quick question. I want to update my ROTJ TK to have three blue buttons. The CRL states Dark Blue. If I had to choose between these two colors, which one is the correct blue that the CRL is referencing or are these two colors not correct? http://www.testors.com/product/0/1972/_/Blue_Angel_Blue_%28G%29_FS15050_-_3_oz._Spray_Can http://www.testors.com/product/0/2915/_/French_Blue_%28G%29_MM_-_3_oz._Spray Thanks, Gerrit Tk-7186
