Nice to see you on here, DarthMel. Good luck with your build!
-
Looking good! I especially like your helmet. I might try out some novus on my armor - I like that shine.

Oh, it's done. The thighs need some work and I need to install the inner drop boxes but other than that it's over. The thigh garter fell apart on Halloween so it just sat in the box for months and I unsuccessfully tried to sell it. But it's fixed now and we're back in business.

The AT&T store can transfer all of my contacts for me. If I get an iphone I imagine they can do the apps too.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I am looking at the 1020 instead of the 1520 because the 1520 was too big.

Hey, I'm starting my search for my soul phone since my 4S is starting to breakdown on me - most notably the battery. I've begun searching for a phone to replace it and I've basically decided on 3 choices. I went to my AT&T store today and tried out the Nokia Lumia 1520. It wasn't a bad phone, but it was just too big for my taste. I could fit my entire 4S and case inside the screen of it. Not really sure why the windows phones get such negative feedback; sure, it's not an iPhone but from I experienced it was still pretty solid and I would learn to like it as I got used to the whole live tile thing. My other option was the Samsung Galaxy S5. I haven't gotten to try one of these out yet but these have a pretty good rep and sound nice too. Lastly, he iPhone 6 is my last option if the others don't pan out for me. What phones do you guys have? Any thoughts on these?

That armor is nice! Keep in mind you can always sell that ANH blaster to fund this build. I understand if you don't want to, but it's an option.

Alright, got some flat black screws that worked on my TD. That's finished now. But since you can only buy screws in bulk at Lowes, I now have enough screws to assemble several hundred thermal detonators. So, if you need someone to do that for you....hey.
-
Yeah, I decided to give this a shot for the price. I'll let you all know how it sounds. It can do MP3s and voice and both at the same time and all that too.
-
Any sites that you would recommend then?
-
Saw this and wanted to get a second opinion, the prices are very nice for how little extra work would need to be done to make them Star Warsy.

Anybody have any experience with them?

Just ordered a hardhat liner and comm package from Trooperbay, really good deal on the comm but a total of $90 after shipping still hurts the wallet a bit.
-
Not really anything I can do about the sides, that's as tight as it gets. I'll look at the shoulder bells and see about trimming them. For the hard hat liner - do y glue that in or screw it in or something with hardware?
-
Wouldn't you be able to velcro in your inner drop boxes and fit something in those?
-
Thanks for the input Gaz. The TD screws are the only thing I don't have

Applied to the Galactic Academy today, here are some pictures:

Just added some velcro to the back of the shins and front of the ab plate/belt back. The only thing I have left is getting some screws for my thermal detonator. What size do you guys use for that? Or do you use something else? I looked at the ones at Lowes and they all looked too big. Also, the padding in my helmet works but it doesn't stay in place very well. I currently just have the standard yellow foam petal glued into the top. I have chin straps but those don't seem viable. I've been considering cutting out the petal and replacing it with a different foam.
Thoughts?

I think its more of a personal preference. Myself and what seems like the vast majority simply like the look of the Stunt better. There is nothing significantly harder about a hero - just looks different.
-
$10? Let me know how it works out for you.

Found a pic of them

Actually just gave it a bit of a facelift. (Granted it looks like a budget facelift done in a shady russian doctor's office in the back of a storage compartment) But still a facelift. Redid the teeth and ears with a darker grey to match the decals and movie better. The super enamel really liked the idea of running so i have a good amount of excess paint in between the teeth. Looks better overall though.
Good luck with your build!
-
Nice to see another CAP in the works!
-
Alright, couple updates. Two things left: Velcro and screws. What size screws and washers go in the TD? I also ordered some Humbrol slate grey super enamel to make my helmet more screen accurate. The color is right but the super enamel REALLY wanted to run. Its a bit messy but overall looks better.
It's happening! [*CAP]

You guys have any ideas on where to put a speaker? I tried putting it under my chestplate but got a LOT of feedback. I tried it again with the mic under my helmet and speaker on my belt so it was the chestplate causing the feedback. I was thinking the belt, but it's black and I don't want it to be too obvious if I can avoid it. I would like easy access to turn it off if I do get feedback though. I'm using this one: http://trooperbay.com/18w-portable-voice-mini-pa-amplifier-loudspeaker/
