I'm 43 and probably won't start trooping for another few months yet....Maybe we can start an over 40s niche ...You're only as old as you feel...and thanks to ABS and rubber gloves I can't really feel a darned thing in this armor !!!!.....Maybe we can put the 40 into 401K !!!
Great job with the paintwork ...What number size brush are you using ? I went with stickers on mine but I really like how yours turned out...I might hand paint my next bucket...or purchase one like Matthias suggests and keep it as screen accurate bucket that I display....
I agree with this idea to use the site as a instruction - how to....and assembling one for yourself first will give you firsthand knowledge of any little nuances and "things to pay attention to" when assembling the blaster. Vern is a great source for blaster info..... I'm looking forward to Buying American...!
Vern,
How much do you sell your ANH holster kit for ? I do not currently have a blaster...I am waiting on Darth Vorhees to finish his blaster kit first...
I'd be down for sending a deposit if the funds will help you....If your end price on all this is around $100 or so you'll be making your money back mighty fast....
Use a lead pencil and run it across the groove/line that is already scribed into the armor which will make the line easier to see before you cut...I then used ABS shears/scissors (Actually i used our Cutco Kitchen scissors...my wife wasn't too happy about that...)...I got a nice straight cut that just needed a light going over with some sandpaper to smooth out a little...hope this helps...
