  1. Wow. Just wow. I am getting to a point now where my current gaskets are getting a bit ropey and will probably need upgraded. Thanks Wyatt..you've made my decision on which vendor to go to MUCH easier now. Theresa..you can expect an email from me sometime after Christmas. Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk
  2. I have bubbles in both my ROTJ TK and my TIE. Honestly..you get used to them. Saying that..the TK is much easier to see out of than the TI is. Different makers will yield different results. Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk
  3. Honestly..as maligned as they are..I delibrately chose to do ROTJ over ANH. They are just so rare a sight, despite being on basically every piece of official merch for decades. And they do have a quirky charm about them.. Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk
  4. Not handy at the minute...the FO is packed up and in storage..but I should have a chance to dig him out by the weekend. Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk
  5. Zombie that sucker up! I did exacty that. Old fx kit...ordered a few B grade parts-helmet, thermal det etc-from another vendor(RWA)..dremeled the heck out of everything, painted and cleared it.It was actually great fun to do and got a great reaction at a recent Con.

  6. Yeah I kept mine seperate too. Knee gaskets popper to thighs and shins, Shoulder and elbows are sewn together and worn almost like a jacket. Means I just wear a tshirt and leggings as a base layer. Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk
  7. I always found this pic helpful in showing folks the differences in lids...(apologies for not crediting the maker) As the ONLY non-ANH/S Imperial TK in my Garrison it's a handy visual aid to explain why my suit looks "crap"...it's supposed to! Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk
  8. I mean I couldnt find any fault with his service..ie he was a pleasure to deal with. Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk
  9. I recently got a few B-grade pieces off of RWA. Can't fault the service..and the pieces themselves-lets just say these B grades are better than some other vendors "A" material... Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk
  10. Great work so far, fellow ROTJ! I used E6000 on my CFO kit..still holding up even after 6(?) years. Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk
  11. Maybe cos it causes cancer?? Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk
  12. I've used E6000 on practically all my builds too..and haven't had any real issues. My ROTJ TK is going on 6 or 7 years old and still holding up strong. Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk
  13. Weathering is a tricky one. You just know there are plenty of folks out there will go overboard and end up making Sandies look clean! Photo refs or very specific text descriptions would be ideal. Also..the weathering for certain troopers would need to follow a very specific technique imo. The FOs who raided the village in TFA returned to base with a very specific style of weathering which IMO would need to be emmulated by the applicant. Some of the Endor TKs were filthy too..one or two would give Sandies a run for their money. That'd be another tricky one to balance. Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk
  14. Very interesting,thanks!! As a CFO EIB..I'm most interested in how many of us there are. Last time I looked thru the Legion stats..there were fewer than 50 ROTJs..some of who will have been modded ANH stylee. Quite a high percentage of EIBs and Cents considering...

  15. As a proud ROTJ I must disagree profusely! WE are the sloppiest TKs ever! Have you seen the state of the guys on Endor?! [emoji14] Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk
  16. Good stuff! Re: the FO lid question...is it possible to split the anovos options into the standard line and the Premier line ?
  17. I like it..esp her executing her own troops to cover her tracks..but I still think the version we got is a smidge better-if only for the way it leaves us wondering if she is try dead. I can see her reapperaing after falling into the fire fully armoured...but surviving a cannon blast at point blank range? Not so sure. Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk
  18. Loving the FO patch-deffo down for a few of those...any chance of a tshirt too? Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk
  19. Hi folks. So..I have a pretty old, pretty beat up old FX armour that has lived on a mannequin the past few years. Bought it years ago but never got round to doing anything with it. It'd be too much work to bring it up to clearable standard for a regular TK..or even TD..but I've toyed with the idea of zombifying it. How far can one go with regards to damage and missing components and still get cleared? I'll need to pick up a new lid to "wreck" (the mannequin is wearing an old MR) as well as boots..but can I get away with out a thermal det for example? The OG FX one is pretty junk....

  20. Re: merch. The FISD webstore has ongoing tshirt and hoodies with the classic logo and iirc the old 'stepping out' logo. It'd be a small gesture, but if shirts with the FO lid on the FISD logo were added( and what the heck..go all out and have some with ESB/ROTJ/Rebels lids on too) it might go a long way to making the non ANH TKs feel just as part of the team....

  22. Aye it'll most likely be an R1 with tweaks. I wonder if that is a camo style paint job...or if this guy is just filthy? Base colour looks grey/silver? And cape..hmm. It might not be a cape as such...Lego has used a cape piece before in place of cloaks,ponchos and robes. Jawa/jedi figs often used one. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  23. Couple pics from the Dublin Premiere: Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
