I wish I could but I'm tapped out right now. It's an awesome kit you have. I'll let you know if my situation changes, but thanks for chiming in here. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Interesting to see how the front end has changed in the last 15 months, comparing pics from T-Jay to current purchases by =Sv3= and myself. Aside from the bad pull in mine as far as the hex screws are concerned, you can see the new mold has a totally different shape in the front compared to a year ago.

Wow. Not sure what happened here, but there is nothing left of the cast of the hex bolts here. Good thing I already bought 4 real hex screws to replace them and the one in the handle. I assume for the front two, you cut off the head of the screw and glue it in? I may have missed this in other parts, but has the resin barrel always been cast over the black plastic tube?

Yep. Another Doopydoos build! I've been waiting a year and a half to upgrade from the partially modified Hasbro I built a decade ago, and I finally made the plunge. Just over 2 weeks after ordering and the little brown box came today! It will probably take a few days to get started here. But had to start with the arrival of infamous package. Pics to come soon.

Anyone ever use milliput in a reason E11 build instead of green stuff? GS isn't easy to find. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Guess what showed up on my doorstep today (even though tracking shows it is still in NY)?! New thread on its way. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Darned box has been sitting in New York for the past 4 days!

I'll be watching this closely. My kit has been sitting in New York for the past few days (waiting to clear customs I'm guessing). Hopefully it will be here soon!

Go to www.runboard.com and look for the Brotherhood of the Bat board. Lots of good information there. Like FISD for troopers. Do a search for a 6 panel cape pattern and buy some black pleather. I had one I made and wore for years. But sold it to a fan film director. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Look up the Lukannon Armory on facebook Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

------------- I posted this link in your last thread, and still think it is your best option. If you want to do hard plastic armor that is movie accurate for little money, its not going to happen. We all would do that if we could. You have straike a balance between time, money and expectations. Craft foam is not very expensive, and you can get it at most craft stores like Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc. To get a good start, all you need is lots of foam, scissors, glue and some templates (or blueprints) to work from. Also make sure you have some good pictures from the movies available to use as a guide. Lots of pictures here you can make use of. Look at pictures of troopers submitting for Expert Infantry and Centurion status to see large pictures of screen accurate armor. Try to be patient. Don't think that you can accompish this in 1 day or even 1 week. Start now and aim for Halloween. The helmet is harder. That was a nice cardboard build in the video you posted, but its not nearly as easy or cheap as it looks. It's a variation on something known as Pepkura which involves building 3D models out of paper or card stock. You may want to look into finding an old Don Post helmet, but that will cost some money. Keep researching. Try to think creatively. Heck, you could buy one of the Stormtrooper voicechanger masks from the Disney Store and enclose the back of it with a painted batting helmet. (Something like this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Kids-Stormtrooper-Costume/) Again, it will be a matter of cost versus accuracy and how much time you want to spend on it.

Wasting your time in what sense? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Try doing a search for making armor using foamies or craft foam. For what you are looking to do, you may be able to make 'armor' using craft foam and glue. It will take some time, and will look better with some attention to detail. There are some guys who have done that for their sons/daughters instead of investing lots of money in something you will grow out of in a year. You can also check out the Replica Prop forum (RPF). But people here will be happy to help advise you in the process. Something like this: ------------- Just an idea and you are mostly limited by time and imagination. I've build plenty of things with foamies. You can seal it and make it more solid by covering it in a glue/water mix and then painting it when it dries.

Grab a DD resin blaster, then buy a cheap Rubies that can be painted black to keep on hand if you want to let kids pose with it. However, I have to agree with Mathias on this -- no guns for kids.

You only need to paint them if you want them white for a TK. As you said TX, you won't need to paint. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That's a great looking kit!

Wait until Rogue One hits theaters. If they follow the continuity of Rebels, you will probably see pauldrons on live action TKs.

Does Batman carry a gun? (yes I know he did VERY early in his 'career') Does Indiana Jones wear a cowboy hat? TK's dont wear Paudrons! *** Please read this as nothing more than a silly reply. *** I wouldn't go that far. If it's a canon event, especially an LFL/Disney event, don't wear the pauldron. I don't think the people here are fanatical just because they strive for accuracy.

Excellent work all! Another great newsletter.

Did they give you tracking information? Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

You can. The link for the files is on the 501st website. I'll see if I can find it later today. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

All are good Aaron, but I can vouch personally for this one and its great.

I know volume is the issue. I can't get even close to half volume. Its better than my muffles voice behind the helmet, but just not getting a good volume without feedback. You know, I was going to do just that with my silver Sharpie but ran short on time. I'll mess with it this weekend.
