Yeah, and the cost of a replacement is just too high. He's not willing to do a straight across trade for the inaccurate one. Looks like I'll have a slightly smaler belt. I'm glad the info is out there now.

Well, how about that, my belt is inaccurate. Looks like I have to email ATA and get a replacement. In the meantime I can: Shorten the trooperbay canvas belt (Waaaay too long, in case you were thinking of getting it) Build the TD Attach shoulder bridges try to do something to modify that left calf opening. Probably gonna boil it. I'm sitting at 90% completion!

Ugh... just something else I have to buy. Looks like I'll have to wait for a new belt to continue my build since (I THOUGHT) that was all I had left to do

Ebay = bad. Buy nothing relate to your stormtrooper costume from there. Go to the homepage of this forum, find the forum marked "getting started- read this first" make sure you read that first... before getting started.

Steve, it's teh boxes. They're bigger and spaced further apart

I was at an armor party yesterday with a fellow member, Raintrooper. We both have an ATA kit. My kit is almost finished and his was untouched. He said his was orignially intended to be a TD, but is getting the correct knee and ab plates. We put our belts side by side and his was signicficantly bigger. Which one is correct for a TK? Is the TD belt bigger? Did ATA upsize his belt? What is going on here?!!!

I look forward to helping you with that kit! It's not as hard as it seems. Also, looking over your kit, you can make the inner drop boxes yourself from the offcut parts of your belt and knee ammo belt. Saves you a little money! Double edit! It looks like ATA comes with the inner drop boxes now!!! I really got ripped off ordering mine a year ago! Looking forward to seeing you build this thing. If it goes at all like your helmet did, it will be a piece of cake. Make sure to document every little thing you do with pictures, so people can stop you before you do something wrong. On with the pics!

Isn't it supposed to say "Vaders FIRST"?

Shoot for it. It's a pretty big target to hit. Even for a trooper!

there should be a line that would separate the butt and kidney. Can you take a picture of just the kidney/butt plate. I'm sure someone with photoshop skills can draw a re line for you. It's hard to explain while you're wearing it

That bar up there that says search is your friend. Try using it first before asking questions. Look up build threads for the AP. Type in AP build or AP helmet build or something like that Here's three after about 5 seconds of research. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/24455-punkers-ap-armor-build-thread/page-2?hl=%2Bap+%2Bhelmet#entry309396 http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/18746-osothebears-anh-ap-build-ap/page-7?hl=%2Bap+%2Bhelmet#entry309147 http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/24260-first-time-build-ap/?hl=%2Bap+%2Bhelmet#entry305297

I think there is a user here that sells the buttons for that. I believe his name was Vaderdave.

I second that

The difference is the level of accuracy. EIB is very accurate, centurion is ridiculously accurate.

I can't seem to find Trooper Tim can anyone point me to his profile or a thread he has started?

I'm sorry, Ingrid, but I really wanna know what happened. Whatever it was we should know, so we can prevent it from happening in the future.

I went to the ongoing sales forum and typed "holster" and couldn't find anything. I heard Darman's holster is too long

I'm nearing the end of the build. All I need now is a holster. Who offers them? Which one/s are the best? Who should I contact? All help is appreciated!

I have contact cement for my hand guards. Think that'll work?

The original title of the video is "Stormtrooper gets MURKED" After googling it I found this: http://tk9415.tumblr.com/post/56721088556/storm-trooper-gets-murked-comic-con-2013-youtube I was able to view the video yesterday. Judging by how much info has been gathered about the turds, I think they'll get busted. Did anyone think to hurry and download the video? Also, if someone in that guy's garrison could let us know what comes of this, that would be awesome.

This is why you should never troop without a spotter. I'm beyond upset and am going to look behind me EVERY time I pose for a picture. Luckily he caught himself. I don't even want to imagine how that could have ended.

LOL Deadpool is another of the three costumes I'm in the middle of. He's my favorite character ever.... besides TK 421 I plan on putting glue inside the black trim and sliding it down til it sits in more of a hero position

Well, I've had a lot of stuff go on in my life which dampened the speed of my progress. Nevertheless, I have been chipping away at it. Got the entire torso strapped with tabs on the sides that keep it from flaring This has played a role in distracting me from my work: Drinking and playing with acetone.. seems harmless lol. I made some paste to fill that hole. And finally got that tooth mod finished and am currently finishing up the helmet

What would you approximate the degree of the bend is?

Is this what people use to pad out their TK armor?
