[5'2" stormtrooper]

Thanks for the info everyone

[5'2" stormtrooper]

Do we have any troopers this size out there ?

[Head count for the FISD group Shot at C6]

Will be there in my TK

[Star Wars Celebration VI]

A drink for Jenny and for Keith! And everyone else who can't make it! We're gonna be totally blitzed!

 

Andrea, here's a link to the Droid Hunt... http://www.501st.com/droidhunt/

 

I'm STILL LOOKING for TWO MORE PEOPLE for our DROID HUNT TEAM!!! Doesn't have to be TK or female

 

The rules state that only helmeted characters can "spot" and confront the droids (and TKs are key), but one member can be a non-helmeted "spotter" slash wrangler, to handle the raffle tickets and what-not. (I found that was hard to do in my low visibility situation.) If I have my navy trooper by then, I'll be able to do that if others want to TK, but if someone else wants to be spotter, that's fine too.

 

I will do the droid hunt were do I sign up

 

[How / Why did you pick your screen name?]

Frog was a nick name I got in the Navy the jeep is from up north I was big into rock crawling and building jeeps

[Childrens stormtrooper suit]

I would like to buy a kit if you do end up selling them

[Dropped my E11 at SWW]

ok now take off that other part and put it on correctly!

 

nice job!

 

how about the point of the sight?

There is plans to add that just not sure were I put my extra small screwdriver tips

[Dropped my E11 at SWW]

I dropped my blaster after the Disney Star Wars parade first day figured I would post up my repair since I see a lot of you are building doopy doos full resin kits

 

The front sight broke off

 

 

 

I use BBC prints for forward sight

 

 

 

I trimmed off the rest of the sight leaving the center block just replacing the side hoops

 

 

 

Little paint and back in business and it is more accurate to a real sterling

 

 

 

One small note I got hold a real sterling and the small vent hole at the front of the barrel my shield is backward like most I have seen

**{{ Can't imagine why anyone would want to miss out on the fun of building it themselves! }}**

 

I agree and I seam to get a lot of complements on my AP armor

[No clue what I'm doing]

Right on, Rusty! How those fans working out?

 

Good used them Friday for SWW

[No clue what I'm doing]

Look at the good little Newb giving advice!

 

yeah this Newb built his armor in two weeks

[No clue what I'm doing]

Just get your kit and go to an Armor Party at NMC (North Makaze Compound) Timmy will point you in the right direction. I just built my TK and it's not as bad as you think. I am in Orlando and I would be willing to lend you a hand

My kit came pre-trimmed. Do you know where I can get ABS of a similar quality out in a store?

 

He didn't send you any trim strips? I used the widest trim strip I had

 

Maybe he will send you some more for a small fee I really would only use the same ABS or it will be hard to match color

 

This is what you get when you trim yourself as you can see not much you can use. I do stll have all of it if you think you can use it

Jeep frog - what did you use for the kidney? Spare ABS from your build or did you get the plastic somewhere else?

 

I use the abs that came with the kit

[Star Wars Celebration VI]

 

Is that what we want to do?

 

I don't know I need something easy to learn

[My AP armor build [*AP]]

Still need to:

Snap plate on forearms, sniper plate, thighs, chest strapping, kidney shims, crotch tabbage, Han button, thigh to Ab snaps

 

I will post a pic of my kidney shims for when I get home

[My AP armor build [*AP]]

Where do you recommend I put the foam on the armor - on the outside side of all armor (pushing it away from the ab)?

 

I put it only in a few places just were the armor would not touch my leg and I put some in the front of both shins to help clear knee plate and ammo boxes

[Is the trooperbay belt good compared to the sellers here?]

I am happy with my Trooperbay belt

[Star Wars Celebration VI]

Here is the flash mob you were looking for

 

[My AP armor build [*AP]]

you might want to rethink the snaps i am going to switch mine out with the Tandy line 24 i will let you know if they work better also i used more than twice the amount you have there.

 

I did end up getting my snaps from Tandy the are much better and cheaper I have now gone back and replaced most of mine

I checked it out and retread it three times. Sadly my AP thighs have a different cut than yours it seems. Can you or anyone else offer their thoughts based on the above picture? I feel like it might be as lined up as it will get. I need confirmation, validation, or opposition to just glueing it as is.

 

line up the bottom edge the best you can and trim the top of the thighs to make even after that i still had to trim an inch off the top. the bottom edge has the detail you need to maintain

[Aker amp w/ PTT cable shorting out due to moisture.]

I have been using a ballon for the switch then I hold the cable to my finger with a rubber finger bandage I got from the drugstore they seal your finger from the glove and allow the ballon to keep out the moister
