  1. This is my trick for stubborn snap posts A block of wood with sandpaper wrapped around can help when sanding parts to get straight lines/cuts.
  2. There isn't much weird we haven't seen before It's much the same way as using a pencil wood scribe, I'm pretty simple so a ruler and pencil does fine.
  3. I would also suggest looking through our gallery sections if you are thinking of any other supplier, there are a lot of boots which look close at first glance but can have other issues, front stitching, low elastic on sides, large heel and so on. Boots
  4. Hello and welcome aboard and thank you once again for the 3D files
  5. Easier to trim a little more off than try to add it back
  6. Also don't cut into corners, best to drill then cut, the round hole should prevent splitting
  7. Sounds like you have done your research. Detonator also different between the two versions. TFA TLJ has an inner pipe/tube with black areas of the housing cut out Some links for you: Great Anovos build by Ukswrath Also DN build by TheRascalKing Metal holster Rubber gaskets http://www.tandaworkshop.com/ https://www.facebook.com/Thorsson-Associates-Workshop-112076042142986 Resin hand guards There are some small differences in the blaster so check visual references from the movies Looking forward to seeing your build
  8. Any foreign material mixed can change the color of the ABS paste.
  9. I like to use a pencil, mark in a few places then lay some masking tape as a guide. Not sure if you have painted or stickers, if it's stickers you can lift with a knife an pull off, if painted you could use some mineral turpentine and buff any residue with some polish
  10. Should do the trick. If you have any issues with the posts not squashing enough and locking (I had a really bad batch once) I came up with a work around
  11. Rough guide on strapping and placement, some use double snaps in case one fails. Chest to backplate A couple of threads for you interest Snap upper right corner \ Snaps posterior plate Rivets For Level 3, three domed head bifurcated (split) rivets approximately 5/16" (8mm) in diameter are present on the left side of the abdomen and kidney and are equally spaced along the depth of the armor and are painted white. Note that the measurements are from the center of the rivet. Rivets on both kidney and ab should line up horizontally. Interior pic showing split (bifurcated) rivets For Level 3, a single split rivet is present on the lower tab of the abdomen armor (cod) This can have a brass or chrome finish, but cannot be painted. For Level 2, The thigh ammo belt is attached with one solid head rivet on each side, painted white, and located in the upper corner fastened to the lower thigh ridge. Rivets shall be cap or split style rivets. No pop rivets are allowed. Rivets should be approximately 5/16ths (8mm) in diameter (exterior).
  12. I think you will find that gap will be reduced once worn
  13. Vest also seen in this cut scene with red pauldron and shoulder pouch Quite a few vests Some miss the riot troopers in that scene Oh and there's the odd black shoulder bell
  14. Our Blastech section is full of different version E-11's and info https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/116-blastech-e11/, down the rabbit hole you go
  15. Hello and welcome. Setup for ANH Luke or an ESB as both versions have no hengstler or cylinders May have come from RS props and SDS have ESB version resin blasters I'll let the UK lads chime in with it's possible origin
  16. Great to hear you have worked it out
  17. It's definitely weird, I can follow the link then copy and paste BTW push all that rubbish to the side, there's no space to build armor
  18. Well have a read through the Imgur tutorial once again, I do remember a few people mentioning some mobile issues a couple of times and I think they finally where resolved, Imgur has a habit of changing things without telling anyone, link here:
  19. Congratulations trooper, well deserved and welcome to the FOTK ranks
  20. Looks like you added .jpeg as text to your link needs to be the full address. You can also right click on the image in Imgur then copy and paste directly into your post, should have the full link with extension
  21. We do get very buys for May 4th so it really depends on what garrison covers your area and how many requests they have, locally we get requests up to a year in advance. You can also find your local garrison here: https://www.501st.com/maps/
