Hand Made First Order TK
TheKido replied to mitcheg1's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
Holy macaroni that looks great! Count me in if you're making a batch! Cheers -
I'm thinking about jumping the boat but I received a ridiculous shipping quote of 140 USD..? Isn't that a bit to much to get it to Sweden? If anyone who ordered before the 4th may decide to bail out please contact me instead and I might be willing to buy it from you. I'd rather get it for 350 then 450

TK-10116 Requesting HWT Centurion Status [ATA][Approved 2nd]
TheKido replied to ukswrath's topic in Request Centurion Status
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it is one of Blaster 8266s blaster. He usually has a few batches per year. You can find him on MEPD as a member It is a really nice blaster and this is a really nice build. Good job and good luck with everything! -

Cover strip width question...
TheKido replied to justjoseph63's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
Hi! Concerning the width of the cover strips this is mainly up to you. In the movie they were cut in haste to get ready in time. So anything in between the widths mentioned should be ok. As to the Glue E-11 is super easy to get of so it's not a big problem if there is a small spill. Good luck with the build! //Adam -
Is it possible to sit while wearing armor
TheKido replied to SD Bolts Trooper's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
I also believe it depends on what plastic your armor is made of. I believe that more flexible plastics are more suitable since thicker plastics has a tendency to crack... Good luck with everything -

This site for making replica props?
TheKido replied to Grimez's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
It depends on which blaster you're looking at. T-21 and DLT-19 have some good vendors and threads over at mepd -
Vacuum forming mold materials
TheKido replied to Folders's topic in The Foundry - Armor and Prop Making
What Vern said is true but hey, if you enjoy sculpting stuff by all means do so. Although you might not get to the same level of screen accuracy as the armorers here (I'm not saying that you wont) the reward by simply looking at an armor knowing that You created everything should make it worth it. People here are hung up on authentisity (don't get me wrong that's a good thing) but if you think it's fun making "not as good" armors by all means I totally suport you. Good luck if you go all the way -
Hehe Personally I took pretty much everything of when i watched the Hobbit in suit. I probably could have had a few pieces on but the problems are that everything will be green, you will sound A LOT when you move even the slightest and mainly you will be too focused on other things so the movie experience might not be the best... With this said it is super cool to walk around in the armor before and after the movie but if you want to see the actual movie I would recommend taking it of. Good luck!

I'm not sure what to think. My first instinct was of course recaster but I've seen him pop up and explained quite well. unfortunately he disappears a bit and as stated it is strange that he just doesn’t show the pics he has. I'd say recaster until he shows some more proof. To enlighten you some more here is a link to his thread on mepd he posted a month after we stumbled upon him on fisd. There are pics of his molds. http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=12643#entry161109
