Belt is done and all I have left for it is the TD clips. I also ordered some slate grey humbrol paint to make my frown and ears more screen accurate. I also need some Velcro to put on the backs of the shins and belt then it should be great. I'll get you all some pics once I wrap it all up!
How anyone tried the stormtrooper voice changer on this? I like the sound of it. Is there a way to replicate that or do you automatically sound like that when speaking into an amp from out of the suit?
For the eyes I scored along the edge then drilled some holes in them then cut the rough shape out. Then I snapped out the rest of it and sanded it down to about an inch. For the teeth I drilled one or two holes in each then shaped them with an exacto knife.
Oh, and in addition to my earlier questions, does anyone know of a vendor that sells completed Thermal Detonators? Or if not that will take the part I have and assemble those?
So in the wait time, let's consider some things. To use my ANH Stunt as an HWT I would just need a backpack, pauldron, mp40 pouch, and a bigger gun, right? And then a new helmet, handplates, and holster for an ESB.
When this is all finished and kits are possible for sale, will it come with a more concise mode with just the two E-11 blaster modes and the radio chatter?
Hey, I've heard that to put on armor yourself you have to put on your thighs, then boots, then shins. But the problem i run into is when i'm wearing my thigh armor i can't really bend my leg enough to reach the boots and get them on my feet. If I try the boots first I can't fit them through the thighs. How do you all do it?
Any pictures of what it looks like while you're wearing it? You have light on the other side with those pics so you can see the holes clearly, i imagine its more subtle when you are wearing it.
I'm so close to being done. The ab strapping is basically done.
To-do:
- Repair thighs and set up with thigh garters.
- Add shoulder strap-shoulder bell elastic
- Probably get some velcro and add it to the back of the shims
- Make the belt
- Get TK boots
Also, what do you use the clean the helmet lenses?
I tried using one of the old chest-ab straps on the cod piece but it makes it tight to the point where I can't really walk when its snapped. I'm going to add another strap or two along the right side to even out the spacing. The butt plate feels a little large. It lines up with the edges of the kidney plates when pressed down, but I dont have any straps doing that currently. I might ad an ab-butt strap to hold down the corners.
Alright, so I have a quick and dirty preliminary strapping system set up. How do I get the measurements for the shoulder elastic and cod strap? I'll also probably add a second strap on the right side of the ab to hold it all together.
