TK3373

Thanks guys. I have gone with a pair of TK boots from another member at least these will be more acceptable. The back seam on the jodphur boots werent right either. I will keep them for my own use. Cheers

So I purchased these boots but I wonder if they are any good for approval? The gusset is slightly different from the originals. Cheers Scott

Also found a local equestrian shop that sells these boots. Available in black. Thats in NZD btw.

Thanks. I was wanting something with a bit higher ankle on them. They were on ebay for around 20GBP so around $40 in my currency. I have a couple of leads on some TK boots which I dont mind spending a bit more on for higher level.

I am looking around for options for my TK boots. Are these any good?

Thanks I'll have a scout around for some.

Thanks guys. Is isopropyl similiar to Lens or compuer screen cleaner? If so my local trade store has this.

Hi guys, I have acquired a second hand set of RS props ANH armor and helmet and wanted to know the best and safest way to remove the painted parts traps etc from the helmet. My intention is to convert to ESB which I already have the decals for, but I just need to remove the painted bits first. Some of the paint such as the tube stripes came off easily with a bit of a scraping but some of the other parts arent so easy. I dont want to scratch the helmet in the process. Would remove the paint better? Some sort of thinners or turpentine? I am also mindful of damaging the plastic. The helmet and armour is pvc btw. Cheers Scott

The helmet turned out great Caleb. That was a fast build.

I have never met a TK who could sit down in costume.

Its interesting how bluray shows up the difference between the matt painted troopers as opposed to the real ones. I never really paid much attention before.

I agree, not many people would be willing to lend out a suit. I know in my garrison someone wanted to rent or borrow a suit for a 40th birthday but instead a few of the members decided to do a troop there instead. A lot less hassle.

Awesome pics, you guys look amazing. The ladies werent bad either.

Is this the one you were referring to? Or something similar?

Awesome pics, I especially loved the ones on the Tantive set.

Thanks for the info. So helmets such as AP, ATA, CAPW, TE2 etc are acceptable for EI and Centurion as long as they meet the requirements of that particular crl, ie ANH, ESB, ROTJ?

Not wanting to open a can of worms, but according to the CRL's for Expert Infrantryman and Centurion status is says ANHv2 helmets not allowed. I am not familiar with these helmets, are they derived from the old FX helmet? I wanted to clarify that as per the CRL, ANHv2 doesnt mean derived from ANH helmet such as TE2, ATA, AP CAPW etc. Is this correct? Cheers Scott

Job well done. I trooped last weekend at our local hospital children's ward and it was a most rewarding experience. The kids just loved seeing us.

I wasnt interested in buying it at all, but it annoyed me that people get away with this sort of thing. Hopefully no one will be sucked into this.

Hi Guys, I saw this on fleaby and wondered if this auction was for real. http://cgi.ebay.com/master-replicas-storm-trooper-helmet-prototype-/170656812481?pt=UK_Collectables_SciFi_fantasyCollectables_EH&hash=item27bbf04dc1 They want 1500.00 GBP for but to me it looks like an unfinished AP helmet.

Not sure what the differences are in ESB helmets but you should head over to star wars helmets.com they have extensive information regarding helmets from the star wars universe.

I am not much of a conniseur of ANH TK armour but man that suit looks awesome.

A Tsunami warning was issued for New Zealand northern east coast and was due to his earlier this morning. According the news the initial waves were about 15cm high and increased from about 8.30am to 30-40cm. I havent heard any reports of damage. We have just had a devasting 6.3 earthquake in my region last month, which was not as big as the one recorded in Japan. My thoughts go out to those people in Northern Japan. Stay safe. Scott TK-3373

Weird Al is coming to NZ in March, I am so looking forward to trooping this one.

That was a great video clip.
