In case you're wondering what a sock puppet account is, that would be it.

This explains nothing!

[First Order Gasket Dispute]

I have no idea what "spoofing, shilling or sock pupetting" is but I can tell you that I have had first hand knowledge of the time and effort that Teresa has put into designing her gaskets and everything else she sews! I have seen the hours that she has spent creating and then improving her designs. I have seen her fuss over the smallest detail to get them right. I have first hand knowledge of the money she has spent in getting samples of fabrics to make sure that she has the best possible for her designs. To see that there is someone here that is trying to shine an unfavorable light on Teresa makes me very angry.

 

And then to see that a comment is made even after a determination was made makes me even angreir! Shame Shame Shame!

Oh my scruffy nerf herder! I check this post every single day waiting for this armor to be approved so that I can start on mine and get it right the first time. What could be taking so long!!!

[tusken raider shoes]

You don't need special boots for a Tusken the wraps cover them.

If you haven't already done so you should join the Krayt Klan forum. They have all of the answers to your Tusken Raider questions ;0

[Maker of things.... And what to do]

Have you thought of turning it into a Death Trooper. That way the more beat up it gets the better.

 

If you are still interested in selling it I might like it for a Death Trooper.

[Lack of TKs these days?]

I haven't found that problem here in Alberta. We did a big event in April that started with a parade and although there were the other characters of course it was mostly a field of white and dirty white. It was a beautiful site and another wonderful part for me was that a rather large percent of the armored troopers there were female...awesome!

 

Thanks

[Happy Father's Day!]

Oh my God that was so awesome!

 

What a great Father's Dad present.

 

Thanks for sharing

[What have you guys done to me? lol]

Welcome Patrick,

 

Let me warn you it only gets worse. I got my TK approval in April, now in the middle of a Tusken Raider build and already trying to figure what to do next.

 

Enjoy this time.

[Cheap Mic! Though I would share.]

Oh I wanted to buy that but sadly they only ship in the US

^{Hello Jeff,}

 

^{Welcome from another nebbie. I am from Edmonton and almost finished my ANH build and can't wait to get my TK number. It has been a journey that was harder and longer than I thought it would be but so rewarding.}

 

^{I hope that you have fun and hope to see you some day with the Badlands Garrison.}

[Hello from snowy Minnesota]

Hello,

 

I too am on my first ANH Stunt build. I started with the shins and used an exacto knife and the dremel. I was not really happy with how they were turning out.

 

I just happened to sumble upon a picture of someone using a bench sander to "trim" their armor and I thought that was brilliant! I have a bench sander so I gave it a try...it worked wonderfully. I had a fine belt on it and I would trim with metal sheers close and do the finish "trimming" with my bench sander. I am really happy with the finish, it not only trims but finishes the edge as well. It also took way less time and gave me a very straight edge on those places that require it.

 

So if you have access to a bench sander I suggest you give it a try.

 

I have to say though that there is so much more work to this than I expected but it really is fun to know that I can actually do something like this myself.

 

I think this could turn out to be addictive and building armor is like eating chips....you can't stop at one!

 

Keep it white

Denise

[which of these 2 mannequin dolls should i use/keep for display?]

Good buy on the mannequins if I were close to you I would buy the extra one.

 

Howeve,r if I were you and have the room I would keep both. From what I see on here building armor is like eating chips...it is hard to stop a just one.
