[Is there something up with forcepike dot com?]

It's the 501st Red Guard site. That's the same error message I get. I'm wondering because there may be some PMs waiting for me to answer.... don't want people to think I'm ignoring them.

 

Ah. Think i'll have to check it out when it's back online. I'm sure they'll be getting the same message aswell.

Sorry for the delay, had to borrow dads camera. Knowhere near finished but thought i'd show anyway. Put a pair of Stompers mic tips in yesterday and they are amazing! Great work Tony! Also need to sand out the eyes a bit more i think Here are some pics anyway...

 

 

 

Also, just sent off for one of TK9135's(Nathan's) prop tags to go with it

Hi Michael. Not heard of that site myself but just tried it and doesn't seem to work on mine either. I get "Error 404 - Not Found"

[Background's awesome but....]

I use Opera without any issues.

Do you know all the time ive been looking at screen lids and the countless pictures i have of them i never clocked that STS only had three teeth .

 

Same here, lol. The Davin Felth helmet has 3 on one side and 4 on the other. Hopefully make mine into a Davin but have cut out all 8 teeth Will any plastic weld do? Also, any suggestion on filling in one of the teeth? Appreciate the help.

[Hello from Tennessee]

I second that. Haven't worked on mine in a few days, still drilling the holes. Gonna carry on tomorrow i think then time to paint

 

Hopefully show some pics of mine soon'ish I'm too slow, lol.

Welcome Mike

[Hey All]

Welcome Alex

[My AP helmet]

Looks killer Stuka!! My brow looks about the same as that now. Just need to attach the ears and paint

[My AP helmet]

Mines a bit higher than yours Lou but i wanted it high anyway, hopefully make mine look a bit like the Davin Felth helmet. Your armour looks killer aswell Lou.

You DO NOT need to cut anything off the cap and back for a higher brow.Its how you position the face plate within the cap and back.

 

I asked a couple of people and they said it's a mixture of both. Plus, mine is gonna be a sandie so i cut a little off. I also used these pictures as a bit of reference

[HOWTO: Weathering]

Yeh, alot of great guys over on the MEPD. Rolf (TD252) does some great weathering. If a tutorial is what you are after, here is a great one.

[My AP helmet]

got any pics yet?

 

Not yet. Need to borrow my dads camera Hopefully soon though.

 

Edit.

Just cut some of the cap 'n' back to get a higher brow. Not turned out as high as i liked so gonna cut a bit more i think

[My AP helmet]

Looks killer Simon! Sorry to take over your thread Liz, lol. I've just bolted the face to the cap 'n' back Starting to look like something now So happy, my first build aswell. Thanks to these forums it made it ALOT easier for me, thanks guys.

[The new TK bucket]

Dan's AT AT Driver bucket is by far the best out there and the detail is incredible. My goal is to own at least one of each of Dan's helmets. Dan's stuff actually feels like you are holding a piece of Star Wars history in your hand.

 

I'd love to own one of Dan's AT-AT costumes. As for the TIE pilot, amazing!

[My AP helmet]

Getting there then! You're going for a sandtrooper did you say? Looking forward to seeing it. How are you going to weather it?

 

Yeh. Even before i bought it i wanted to do a Sandtrooper. Got one more ear to cut out and then 2 more holes on the frown and i can finally bolt it together As for weathering. I'm not gonna weather it straight away but when i do i'm gonna use Woodland Scenics...

...Sandtroopers have always been my favourite

 

p.s

Love the art aswell. Especially love that Vader! Great work.

[Neck & Brow Trim]

Hi Paul, I need some good neck trim for my AP - how much and where from?

 

Same here please.

[The new TK bucket]

Whoa! Looks killer!

[My AP helmet]

Neil: How far are you with yours?

 

I've still got to do 2 of the holes in the frown, both ears and trim the rest of the face. Then time to bolt it all together After that i need to trim a bit of the front of the helmet to give it a higher brow and then paint Going quite well though, got more confidence with the dremel aswell which is pretty cool. Can't wait to get it finished but enjoying putting it together aswell
