TK8280

for now, I am going to leave them as they are...me and heat guns don't get along very well , and my hair dryer just doesn't cut it so, rather than completely destroying my bells, I am just going to leave them alone for now at least.

Shoulder bells after being cut.. I am going to leave them raw like in the movie...I also cut them a little off from oneanother like the ones in the movie...

some of my parts before I start cuttin

i decided to take some pics of mine before I cut it up and turn it in to a ROTJ

I'd say that the belt in the top photo is about 2.5 inches wide ...what do you all think?

these holsters also look like they hang pretty low, i'd say about 6 inches of black from the bottom of the belt

you don't want to be.... "that guy"

wow thanks! ..only one rivet...NOTED! BUT, as for the belt, it almost looks like leather, rather than cotton duct or webing another detail that I hope to figure out

I use tin snips to trim my armor, it gives me more control than my dremel does.

I noticed this with the AP helmet that I have...I had to trim off about 1/2 inch around the base in order to get my head in a more comfortable manner...

so...the holsters weren't rivited to the belts after all?

uh oh!...

Yes, Gatorade is good also, just don't drink too much...

Thanks Paul , I'll do that

That armor is lookin sweet!

Thanks man! Yeah now I have to figure out an economical way to fix that ab plate...If this place that I ordered the ROTJ Hand plates from comes through for me...they have a TD ab plate with a blank ab section, I was thinking of just getting that, and putting the appropriate 4 black buttons on with the rest of the gloss white ones..., but we will see if this place comes through for me ...but all that asside...I believe this will be great for the forum having TK's deployed that represented all three movies

Yeah, when I last watched the movie, I only saw a few TK's with holsters...But they were worn on the right side, but I believe it can be an "optional" item anyways...I wish my trim would come out more

Another pic of me at a troop today

Then it wouldn't be a true panel everyone arguing and throwing armor parts at each other, cutting each other?s work down, making comments on who makes the best stuff! Anger, Arrogance, and a false sense of superiority AHHHHhhh...GOD TIMES

I've just noticed that in this pic, you can really see the blue/white shade of the AP helmet against the yellow/white shade of the FX armor

Holster??? Can I get a confirmation that it was rivited like the previous ones? I have already made myself a right handed holster, I just need to know how to attatch it

Huh! yeah mistake or not, I have to find a way to make this ab plat resemble the mistake that it was in the original movies , its gong to be a challenge

What I did with the armor is cut about an inch of the chest and back plate, thes trimmed it of course...i'll post some pic's soon of the actual armor
