I received my power cylinders. All I can say is.....OUTSTANDING!!!!<br><br> Anyone looking for accurate power cylinders for their E-11 will be more than pleased. Great pride, Uber fast shipping and high end quality. They look great on my Sterling. You'd swear the metalmites were vintage. <br><br> Thanks for offering this great product. It was a perfect way to finish off my all vintage E-11.

I just ordered some "A" cylinders on your eBay store. I can't wait to get them. They'll look awesome on my all vintage Sterling. <br><br> Thank you.

No mic for us. Maybe next year. This is totally not accurate but my son got some FOTK sneakers from Walmart. They look ok. I agree on the amount of work. It's not for the weak hearted.

I've found that a 1/4" wood chisel works great at taking out all the interior ribs. Dremels just melt the plastic and make a huge mess. If I were to build another one I would just use a utility knife and my wood chisel. No matter what you use, it's a ton of work.<br><br> When using the chisel, I worked the blade flipped upside down. Using it the correct way it tended to bite a bit too much and make gouges. Flipped it was easier to manage and control.

That seems to make sense. I read all of the discussion on which went where and it only made things worse. LOL. I was trying to make the two with the hard return up edge match.<br><br><br> Thanks again.<br><br><br> The left leg is really wide and seems deformed quite a bit compared to the right. <br><br> My numbers definitely did match your numbers. Right now as wearing it from left to right I have what I've renumbered as 27, 24, 25, 28. Two of my numbers matched yours. <br><br> <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t200/laspiess/81aa2e75f0683d5fa9d50d362de75d5c_zpsjfurq7zz.jpg'>http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t200/laspiess/81aa2e75f0683d5fa9d50d362de75d5c_zpsjfurq7zz.jpg</a>

For some reason the direct link on FB is not working. The link in the post works fine though.

First I will state that I realize there's a huge discussion on which shin goes with which. I'm not looking to start that debate.<br><br><br> I want to confirm which I have. Mine are numbered but I'm not sure they're numbered like Tony's. <br><br><br> The shins on the left with not painters tape have a hard return line while the shins on the right have little to no return edge. <br><br><br> <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t200/laspiess/cfea2d19dff553a7dc2ef2c437ae3a52_zpsbdbctdat.jpg%27' class="bbc_url" title="External link">http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t200/laspiess/cfea2d19dff553a7dc2ef2c437ae3a52_zpsbdbctdat.jpg'>http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t200/laspiess/cfea2d19dff553a7dc2ef2c437ae3a52_zpsbdbctdat.jpg</a></a><br><br><br> The other issue I have is that in what I think matches UKS 24, I have zero return line on the lower half of the shin. I measure out 10 mm from what appears to be the edge but I get a curved line that wants to take off 1/2" or more.

Thanks for the answers. I just ordered all on your list E_Palpatine. Thanks for the links.

This sounds like a dumb question and I must be missing something. <br><br> On line 7 of the parts list are snaps from Tandy or fasnap. Tandys are over $60 (yikes!)while fastsnap is only around $20. The link to fasnap has several size options for the Line 24 snaps. Which ones are the correct size as none correlate to the sizes in the Tandy link?

Some of your local 501st or RL members might be doctors (I know a couple) or even airline pilots.

Excellent. That's kind of where I was headed with a finger width clearance. <br><br> Thank you for such an excellent tutorial for us first timers. I've built cusotm lightsabers (Imperial Royal Arms), a Jedi costume for the RL, as well as other props but this is my first armor build and it's a little daunting. I just downloaded your 214? Page tutorial and will have it sitting on my bench as I go. Thank you for your contribution to us first timers.

I've been watching this thread since it started and I'm currently in the ordering stage for the "blue" items and getting ready to start my build for a 10/31 completion.<br><br> When sizing parts like forearms, shins, thighs, etc., what are you guys using as a gauge to fit your body size? IOW, what type of clearance works best? I'm guessing just a slight loose fit? Would a finger clearance when installed be a rough gauge?<br><br> I'm 5' 8" and around 180 but losing weight and doing Insanity that should put me back to my normal weight of 160-165 before Halloween and my 501st application.

Question for the experts. Anovos replacement bucket
Luke S replied to Luke S's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
Thanks for the comparison Brandon. Not ever owning armor, and just seeing it while I do RL combined events with my local Garrison, I had nothing to compare it to. It's looking like I might just follow ukswath's tutorial and mod it up a bit.<br><br> Thanks to all that responded.
