  1. sure is a lot of extra plastic with this kit, though better than not enough…. also why do I have two of these?
  2. Okay, thanks for the tips on the straps, trimming shall commence, it seems we get aloof extra plastic with the AM kit. what happens on the sides?
  3. Thanks everyone on the feedback, it seems Novus is used by quite a lot of people and there are indeed many choices. Novus office it turns out I have passed everyday on the way to work, couldn't miss it… apparently So went with this option as they are close and no postage. thanks everyone ---------
  4. Hi mate, i haven't kept track why your changing the chest and back plate? I am sure you mentioned it but i missed it. also keen to follow your trimming and the return edge. Peter
  5. Thanks Andrew, yes makes sense to have a the parts taped on and neck seal for fitting. Hope to have that up on the forum soon
  6. looking good mate… I like looking at the differences in the different armours shapes and trimming required.
  7. Hi well alot of pieces have magnets and glue at the moment, while they are drying the next items. With this AM kit i have extra material on the shoulder bridge area. Questions: * what is the allowed gap? * remove from front or the rear, or take from both?
  8. thanks Ton, i like the thought of using something that i similar to ABS plastic
  9. thanks I think, just asking if anyone was having issues before I contact the owner and/or it is only my system
  10. Hi, is anyone experiencing login issues at Trooperbay today… just want to see if it is my connection or general. thank you
  11. wow… making a TK.. new skills all the time.. i impressed myself I learnt to sew making the snaps. Thanks everyone, looks like i can buy Novus here on the Gold Coast
  12. brilliant thank you, just have to find a stockist here in OZ or order it from USA. Any suggestions on stockists guys.
  13. Hi, while putting the TK together it gets grubby, marks etc. What is the best product to use that cleans and polishes. And overtime doesn't turn armour hello after time. Peter
  14. looking good mate, as the guys said before and there is a good thread regards glue, but I don't know where I saw it on FISD. I use both E6000 and Zapagap. probably 90% E6000 and the rest is Zapagap but only when i am 150% it is not going to need to be taken of again. I am ordering more in the next Trooperbay order thread on RBG
  15. Hey Sly, Andrew and Rick, Been watching the build and the last pages are really useful for everyone, well done. Didn't get to my outfit today, family "stuff" involved. They told me in the Army if they had of wanted me to have a wife, they would have issued me one. Wonder if Lord Tarkin had those issues. But alas, all the "stuff taking over the garage" come in handy today, apparently the E6000 is the "glue of choice" for gluing beads and ribbons on formal dresses. Anyway, good thread guys
  16. okely dokely… so i had someone mark the plastic at the centre of my boot (bottom) and centre of the top of my thigh. when you look at it, it looks a slight angle. is this normal
  17. Hey everyone with the advice and assistance on the shims. from the suggestions here is what i have, after the cutting but before gluing. So it comes to trimming the back, does the method of marking the top and bottom in line with the centre of leg and the centre of the foot look right. As Rick said, i do have two right shins and a left, but i would like to get it right first time. thoughts please
  18. thanks Rick, I use photo bucket but seems not to full use. thanks mate
  19. thanks guys brilliant… by the way how do you or what program do you use to draw the red lines on the pictures. Love it
