  2. Entry 1:
  3. Always happy to lend a hand
  4. I didn't use plastidip I used a satin black industrial paint and had no problems, it's easier to paint before trimming then there is little masking to be done. A thread here with others using plastidip http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/38500-inner-helmet-paint/?hl=plasti#entry528699
  5. Could you post some photos, would help to solve the issue
  6. I made my own grappling hook and comlink but managed to get a grappling box from troopermaster. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/23224-hero-grappling-hook-and-box/ A helpful thread here http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/3776-stormtrooper-grappling-hook/ Lots of builds can be found on google https://www.google.com.au/search?q=stormtrooper+grappling+hook&biw=1262&bih=628&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjXxbbWzdTQAhUFQo8KHXxOAEIQ_AUIBigB&dpr=1
  7. The brilliant minds at Lucasfilm and the ILMxLAB have been working very hard recently to find new ways to integrate virtual reality into various aspects of the Star Wars saga. One of the newest implementations of VR, which comes to us courtesy of People magazine, takes us behind the scenes of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in an unbelievable way. The latest issue of People, which is available on newsstands now, features an assortment of new material from Rogue One, and in addition, includes a pair of virtual reality goggles inside the magazine. The goggles can be utilized along with a brand new 360° behind the scenes video that was released by People. The video virtually puts you on the set of Rogue One at Pinewood Studios in London alongside director Gareth Edwards who provides insight into what you see. The over three-minute long feature allows you to watch as several scenes are filmed with various actors on the set for the planet Jedha. You can view the 360° video in normal fashion Click here, or you can grab a pair of VR goggles in the newest issue of People and download the LIFE VR app to enjoy the video in all it's virtual reality glory!

  8. Love my ATA, no issues after 3 years of hard trooping, you can't go wrong
  9. Shoretroper CRL is Live http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:ST_shoretrooper"]http://databank.501s...ST_shoretrooper
  10. Doubly good as always
  11. You could try soaking in a bath of warm salty water. I have also heard some have had success freezing the parts then the CA glue will crack off when pressure applied. Most solvents will damage the plastic. Other than that it's a case of carefully using a knife or blade and using some pressure.
  12. You can find some good threads on MEPD here are just a couple http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?/topic/7767-dying-canvas-mp40-pouches/&_fromLogin=1 http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?/topic/5913-dying-and-weathering-the-canvas-31-shoulder-pouch/#comment-71323
  13. Congrats, looking forward to the build
  14. I don't have my TK handy but here's a pic of my FO TK brace, use a back support for this one and Velcro, I've since upgraded with snaps, will give you an idea of the adjusters.
  15. Depends which kit too, some use different size pipe depending on the end caps I just took an end cap to the hardware store and found pipe to match.
  16. I use a belt with elastic suspenders, has worked well for over 3 years. From the belt I have looped elastic straps with adjusters in case they stretch, then double snaps to the inside top of thighs.
  17. Best wishes to my US brothers and sisters
  18. Happy thanksgiving to everyone
  19. Good luck with the build, if you need help attaching photos have a look at this thread http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/tutorials/article/48-posting-images-in-threads-2015/
  20. You could use Velcro or even magnets, as long as it can't be seen from outside there wouldn't be any issues.

    Hola!

    Hello and welcome
  22. Congrats and welcome trooper
  23. After making a scratch built one I decided to get one from Peter, I was one of the earliest to order but for some reason others received there's way before me. Took a lot of nagging on FB to finally get the kit, all up took 7 months.<br><br> Don't get me wrong it's a nice kit with great detail, I just don't get why it's so hard for prop makers to supply when they say they will, its not that hard.
  24. Definitely hit up the maker of the armor, most are happy to sell extra pieces
