Welcome. And no, until your build reaches the standard of Pablo's TM or Mike Harrison's (former) TE, you never really finish.
-
It's a bit hard to tell how many T-tracks you have on the E-11. Nonetheless, you're looking really good, Tom. I think it's safe to say Garrison Tyranus now has it's second EI TK.
-
Outstanding work, Pablo. You've definitely got a set of armor that's worthy of your amazing E-11.
Congratulations, trooper.
-
Yep, they were shooting blanks. I thought this was common knowledge. There are a few scenes in ANH where you can see the 9mm casings ejecting from the blasters.
In most of the firefights you can also see muzzle flashes. It's especially obvious in the screen caps caught at the instant a trooper is firing his weapon.
-
Thanks all for posting the screen caps, I just scored a new set of reference photos.
Love the details!

I'll be a good weekend, like Christmas and your birthday all rolled up into one.
-
Gloves arrived today, safe & sound. They'll make a great upgrade to the TK.
Thanks.
-
Yes, definitely interested.

It's more about girth than height, and any armor can be made to fit just about any frame. 175lb is about mid-range from what I've seen.
There's a trooper by the name of Bigturc who is about 6'4", he wears AP. His photos are posted in the gallery, if you take a look you'll get some idea as to how that particular armor will look on you.------------

That's a pretty cool variation.

Look here.

Instead of using velcro on both sides, I used glue on one side of the calf shims, and on both sides of the bicep shims.

Welcome. Listen to Ryan and Manny, you should.
Seriously, a good spotter is hard to come by, and the SoCal Garrison does some of the coolest events possible. Movie premieres, guest spots on television (think Deal or No Deal), etc. Not to mention year-round trooping weather.
Makes me envious just thinking about it . . .

Welcome to the FISD.

Ditto, except for the rivets. I used glue instead.
-
To get you started on your search, a preassembled TE2 is considered one of those "higher end" helmets.
-
Congratulations to all of the expecting fathers! Sleep now, while you can.
-
Cool. Welcome aboard.

Thanks for posting that! My elastic-secured ABS handguards are always sliding out of place, it looks like I've just found the solution.
-
I'd like a set please. Do they come in different hand sizes, or is it one-size-fits-all?
-
What's the thickness of the ABS on these? Is it 0.060 as I recall from an earlier thread when Dan unveiled it, and will the armor be of the same material & thickness? Also, does Dan have any idea when he'll have the full armor kit available? Bottom line, are these troopable kits or display-only?
OMG! That desktop 3D scanner in the video is amazing! That machine that actually created the plastic parts is freakin' mind-blowing, and it uses ABS!!! My dream of having a screen-accurate TK kit that's been scaled up to fit the big guys just got a lot closer. Tony/TE2, please watch this!

Welcome to the FISD, Sean. Be sure to register with your local garrison.
-
Greetings, and welcome aboard.
-
Yeah!
I now know what to do with my FX when I finally upgrade out of it
-
Welcome to the FISD, Megan.
Where are you from, and have you registered on your local 501st garrison board?
Finally! TK-2155 at your service!

Welcome aboard.
I love how more and more TKs are incorporating EIB characteristics into their initial 501st qualification builds, the quality we're seeing here is great!
