[Brattie's AP Build and Journey to The 501st]

LoL.. Torok.. I work during the week which means I'm up at 3AM.. Too far of a drive. BTW.. fourth line south to oakville you can go pretty fast.. but still couldn't do it in 30 minutes.

 

No worries though.. I can take em on my own.

 

Hey Mark, thanks for the info.. no time for that though.

You're going to troop in it yes? Just take the pics at the first troop. The cg will understand and help out even at fan expo. Ask Steph to take them :-)

 

Because, unless you have a tripod, lights, clean wall, remote control or use the self timer, taking pics by yourself will end up just being annoying. Shins not straight, sniper plate under thigh, boot tops showing...

[Shore Trooper Found Parts]

Those! I used to pop those Into a larger plastic caps threads and they just jammed into my bike tires.

[Shore Trooper Found Parts]

They look like temporary caps for bolts. I just can find a picture online. And they don't look like an IV coupler .

[TK-71987 Requesting [ANH] Centurion Status (SDS)[266]]

They all work. Just make sure all the needed pics are in the photo bucket.

[Brattie's AP Build and Journey to The 501st]

You only need seven pics for basic membership. Wear it to a troop. Get another member to take them.

[Aspiring Recruit from NJ]

Sadly that 700 might look OK but it may not meet 501st membership standards.

[Jimmiroquai Rogue One Builds]

Jimmi's armor isn't pulled. It's fiber glassed into a negative form, if I'm not mistaken, so should retain most of the detail.

 

 

Jim M.

I'm looking at heat sinks 2mm apart in the back detail. I don't know much about fiberglass moulding.

[Jimmiroquai Rogue One Builds]

With all the back detail sculpted in won't it lose a lot in the pull?

[Hello from Quebec city, Canada]

Welcome.

[Braces/Suspenders?]

If the belt and thigh connectors are straps just tighten the belt so it is on hip bones snugly.

[Shore Trooper Found Parts]

Actually they look like two locking air stem covers taped together.

[Shore Trooper Found Parts]

Can anybody ID this part?

It is not a standard garden hose fitting, because the diameter is way too small.

I estimate the diameter to be between 1,7 and 2,5 centimeters.

The part is found on the left side of the belt and looks like some kind of ammunition.

 

Perhaps some hydraulic hose fitting or some kind of cable entry with strain relief?

 

 

Posi lock connectors?

[Hello From SoCal :)]

Well thats rather heartbreaking

 

I guess just because I wear a size 34 waist doesn't mean I have a 34" waist. Tape says I'm 37" at the belly button. Chest is is still a solid 44" of rock-hard gristle.

 

Thanks sylverbard. The last vestiges of my youth just died today.

 

BTW, thanks for the info on the MEPD, I'm gonna head over there now

Better dying vestiges than armour that won't fit :-)

[Ukswrath's ANOVOS TK build (stunt)]

Death trooper.

[FOTK Gloves.]

And IB boots and gloves are perfect.

[FOTK Gloves.]

Trooperbays are not approvable. Too many white fingers .

If they are the white eagle clones you just pick the white leather off. Before we had better options that's what many alphas did. I still have mine.

[Brattie's AP Build and Journey to The 501st]

It's easy. Just go slow.

[Brattie's AP Build and Journey to The 501st]

No. No. Just build centurion out of the box. It's not extra difficult it's extra steps. Do it once properly. The armour will fit better from day one. Buy a proper e-11 from Brent in Canada. Get the soft hand guards and dollar store gloves. Why do something twice?

[KB"s DT-ST armor build]

Did I just see one of the aliens from Mars Attacks in the back of your garage there...... lol

I saw it too.

[Hello From SoCal :)]

 

 

Well, back when I met my wife 25 years ago I was a svelte yet muscular 6'-2". Think Brad Pitt in "Troy". In the time hence she has beaten me down to 5'-10", and about 215 pounds give or take a doughnut. Holding on to my 34" waist by the skin 'o' my teeth. I no longer resemble Brad, but only because that dude just hasn't aged well.

 

I'm looking closely at AP Armor. Have heard nothing but good things, plus the guy who makes it is also named Mark I think I prefer the heavy-duty nature of ABS & I've also read that they mold their torso sections with a little extra in spots for us 'Husky' types. Any & all advice is appreciated!

 

BTW- do you have a link to your build thread?

You wife cut 4 inches of height? Harsh .

 

Is that 34 pants or a tape measure? And around gut at navel and around chest is important.

[Hello From SoCal :)]

Sand troopers are not part of this detachment. They are part of the Most Eisley Police Department , or MEPD. You'll find builds and sand trooper specific help there . Many here have one both.

[Does anyone have a kit for sale?]

Just buy a TM or Rs.

[Cheapest and most expensive Imperial costume?]

Cheapest is imperial crewman. Boots, jumpsuit, hat, hat greeblie. Most expensive imperial? Vader. Fetts not imperial.

[Does anyone have a kit for sale?]

Should I join it?

If you want a 501st approved costume, yes.

 

If you just want an awesome costume for Samhain, no.

[any good or should i walk away?]

ok thanx for clearing that up... i was under the impression rt was a type op armour... noob error :-)

Well it is a type ...but only one person makes it. Like a Porsche. The Ford store also sells cars just not that 944 you want.
