+1 on the Doopys. I have built both the Hasbro conversion and the full kit, seen here :http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=19500&hl=&fromsearch=1. It looks great, but don't drop it! Resin can be brittle....I am rebuilding parts on mine now...

I'm in!

Whoops. I put that phrase on my cards...I was trying to be cheeky...I will have to change that on the next batch --------

I am, and have been over the course of the summer, working to aquire specific parts for an MG 42/34 to cast for my own weapon. However if my casts turn out ok, and there is sufficient interest, I would consider doing a production run of specific parts. I do not want to say too much, as I am still acquiring all I need, and I can not promise anything. I also have no desire to step on any toes. I will make sure to document every step as to make it easier for others to follow my lead....

Nice pic..where did you find that? Lol.....Unfortunately, the doopy doos inner diameter does not match up with the actual spring due to the pvc tube the use to reinforce it. I would recommend the drumstick or dowel method, and do your best to match the spread....

Brian gets ALL the hot chicks!

No offense to your fine work Jim, but I cut off the included switch and upgraded to a heavier duty switch, then heat-shrinked each contact separately, the another heat-shrink tube over that, then sealed it with e-6000. so we'll see how that works at CVI

Perhaps I missed this somewhere, but what are the total measurements (length, ID OD) of the receiver tube? I bought a parts kit (pictured below), and I want to affix it to a tube... -----------

Aww, don't cry Vern...Theres no crying in baseb...err...costuming! But seriously, We must remember that we are here for one central reason...to get chicks.... to help kids who are sick and need to escape from their sad place. We are ALL passionate about SW, and we all want to be as awesome as we possibly can and that will always vary from person to person. "Judge not, lest ye be judged" and all that....If someone needs to feel superior about their costume, or their knowledge of a certain prop or character....well, that is representative of some other deficiency in their life...and they should examine that so they can be a happier person. The Golden Rule...is the rule we should attempt to go by. Some people just need to feel superior. don't respond to that. if you ignore it long enough, they will stop. Obvious Troll is Obvious...

I think I see what Vern is trying to say here. He is talking about common courtesy towards fellow Troopers and new recruits in the use of the written word, choosing our words well ie; more 'Constructive Feedback", Less "Judgementalism" or "Snarkiness". Being aware that, as Robert Heinlein said ,"Common courtesy is the grease that lubricates the gears of Society". We are not here to Judge each other, but to assist one another in our individual quests for our perfection, whatever that may be. For example I am a TX Shadowtrooper and was still welcomed here for advice and guidance on building my costume because of the similarities, not shunned because I am not wearing White Armor (YET!)....I think Vern is trying to say that we need to temper our need to push for higher quality costumes and higher standards, in balance with our greater need to be a positive place where we are truly "Troopers Helping Troopers" so that we do not push away new recruits because the task is seen as too daunting or complicated, or they are not welcome. We must maintain our standards, and we should keep each other on our best legs, while motivating those that are willing and able to take it to the very pinnacle of perfection. Not everyone will be willing or, for that matter, able to reach those levels due to everything from money to skills... Pleae tell me if I am off here Vern

I am in. I have an ATA (ARAKYEL Poland) helmet...

I would not pay more than $500-$800 for one, dependent on condition, parts included and their condition, etc. I have seen them as low as $89 (parts) or $175 (welded, poorly) and over $1250 for a really pristene Deac. You could offer him a fair value, if it is in good condition of $500 but you might start low ($400-$450) to give yourself some room to negotiate. It is hard to tell the condition from the lighting in those pictures...

What do you estimate these will cost? Just an estimate, I won't hold you to it...

I'll take one when they are available!

I used 2-part epoxy putty to fill that gap and then sanded before gluing the stock in to place. Much easier than doing it once it is attached...As for scope rails, PM Sent...

That was the seller...

If you are talking about the nuts at the end of the barrel and the bottom of the grip, yes. see my WIP here http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=19500&hl=&fromsearch=1

I want the external mic/internal audio speakers as a kit, ready to install. Most of us have an Aker or iComm and I am good on the fan kit...

17 1/2 inches

If this is your first resin build, then E6000 cement is the way to go, except for the repair. . it produces a solid connection, but if you are unhappy with the placement of a part, it can be removed and you can try again. You can find it at most hobby and art supply stores, like Micheal's or the like. ---------

NICE!

Looks good Brother! Your build has been a huge help to me as I have a similar build...Good luck!

That was My first Troop! I was so hot, i only stayed outside for maybe five minutes during the meet & greet. I am so proud to have been a part of this event, and now I just need to be 100% ready for CVI. Thank you Brian, your assistance and guidance has been amazing! And my favorite pic...
