  1. I'm flying Southwest to Celebration and have been thinking about bringing my Hyperfirm with me, but I wasn't sure if that would get my luggage flagged. Anyone here ever have any issues with an E-11 in their checked luggage? Should I just leave it at home?

  2. Everytime I try to start this project, something seems to come up. Tonight, it was a missing dremel. :-p

     

    It was found eventually, but there wasn't a lot of time before bed, so I only got to cut out the eyes from my bucket. But at least I can say I've officially made my first cut. The eyes still need sanding and might need a little extra taken off. I'll leave with these pictures for your inspection:

  3. I'm really sorry it's been so long since my last post. Had a bit of a family emergency here, so I haven't been able to work on my armor at all. I have next week off work, so I'm going to attempt to start it.

     

    I have a question about drop boxes. I've noticed that there have been ATA applications for Centurion that used inner drop boxes from other vendors. My kit has four box pieces that I assumed to be inner and outer drop boxes. Is this incorrect? Or do the ones provided by ATA not pass muster? I just want to know if I need to get a set.

  4. I've got a question:

     

    I'm planning on using the bracket system to put my armor together, but was wondering about how it might fit in the future if I were to lose weight since I've been exercising more. If the armor ever gets a little big on me, is it easy to disassemble and trim, or will I not be able to adjust it? Is there a certain glue I should use on the thighs, calves, etc. that would allow me to shrink it later on?

  5. Hi all! My ATA kit arrived this past Friday, so I wanted to get my WIP thread started. I'll be aiming for Centurion throughout my build, so if you see any mistakes I'm making, or have any advice, please speak up!

     

    So far I have:

    ATA armor and helmet kit

    TK boots

    Karin's rubber hand guards

    pipe for the thermal detonator

    compression shirt and pants

     

    I also have a hyperfirm e-11 on it's way.

     

     

  6. Hello! I can't really comment on the stormtrooper questions as I do not have an approved set of armor yet, but I would like to suggest signing up on the Ohio Garrison boards. There are members who are local to you that you can talk with. And maybe you can meet up at a troop to get a close look at their armor.

     

    Go to Ohio501st.com and introduce yourself in the Introduction thread. It's under the General Discussion section.

  7. Hi, all! My name is Melissa, and I'm a Tusken Raider in the Ohio Garrison. I'm currently working on an Imperial Guard and TIE Fighter costume, but eventually want to try my hand at an ESB Stormtrooper as well. I have been on these boards for quite a while reading over information, but I just realized I never introduced myself. So, sorry about that. Looking forward to talking to you guys more.
