  1. Great pictures.

     

    What's the blue/purple details I see in some pictures, mostly on the TB. Background reflections? Looks cool. :)

     

    Artifacts from the program merging the images. Depending what style effect I do, sometimes the image color "distorts" but I agree... it looks cool!

    My crate has a shelf with foam that the blaster fits in its holster  Legs and arm in foam too 

     

     

    Echo... now thats what I'm talking about brother! I have a small metal case that has that foam but it's too small to fit my blaster. I never even thought of doing the foam in my BIN! Thanks dude, that's exactly what I wanted. Also, funny but I never considered keeping it in the holster...duh. Sorry guys...my noobie is showing! Thanks everyone for the response and Echo, where did you get the foam and what's the dimentions?

  3. Hi Ken.  I hope you're out there on the 4th!  It'll be my first troop(s) as well.

     

    The only thing I see (besides the things already mentioned) is that your belt needs to come up a bit.  The top edge of the plastic portion of the belt should be on the lower edge of your ab button box.  I needed guidance for this too. 

     

    Did you secure the front of the belt to the ab plate?  Most use female snaps through the canvas that attach to the ab plate via a couple of male snaps.

    Great idea Piklz, I saw that post but I didn't know that they used snaps on the ab plate. I'll defiantly add them.

  4. Id try to trim a little bit more around the bottom, assuming you just followed the line cast in. Also its a light helmet so if you just put foam padding in the sides/back/front it should be fine. You really dont NEED padding on top. Also maybe a helmet liner would work the same. Just some thoughts.

     

     

    I also notice the helmet pictured there has ESB decals and an ANH painted frown..wuz-up-wit-dat!? :P

     

    Figures! I got the decals from a fellow member and I didn't even think to check. Thanks for noticing as I'll have to redo them.

  5. I recently purchased my TK armor from ATA and am in mid assembly. I've completed the bucket and have found that I seem to have a big melon! With no padding in the "dome" area, my chin only has about a 1/2 inch clearence. If I put any padding on top of my head the area by the vocoder is strangling me! I've seen many tutorials of other bucket builds where people have really padded their insides and I can barely get my head into mine with NO padding. I'm not a big guy at all (5'8- 180) but would like to know if anyone else has had a similar issue and if so, is there another bucket out there that is a tad bigger that will match ATA/ABS armor? Anyone maybe willing to trade new for new? HELP!!!

     

    Thanks :smiley-sw013:
