well, for an ANH suit hes wearing it like ESB. one suit, one kit. anybody recognize the kit?

this kinda bugs me: they should line up and be a flat line not a bump. also this, simply for security that the butt plate doesnt wing out and snap. connect it on each side to the kidney plate. as do these: id take some return edge off the chest piece, the edges of front to back should be flush-er, and someones mentionned the drop boxes i think already. these few things just distract my eye.

I always go by the rule that velcro is not structural, nor easily repeatable. On shin closures, sure. Chest to back connect, yes. But I glued it in place so nothing moves. Snaps lock things in to the same place every time. I can put my tk on in the dark and know its in the right position, and snaps are easier for handlers to help with. Nothing on the inside counts though. If velcro is your thing, go for it.

In the alpha 75 it was dubbed a feeding nipple. No other explaination ever came up for it. Could be the pressure release, or a hard comms connection in vehicles.

Damn. I cant make a Deathtrooper out of that. It will clash with the little pumpkin.

Do you run anti v anti p software thats shared between devices? A vpn? Ive absentmindedly clicked on bookmarkz when im vpn'd to school and all hell breaks loose.

Nice project. If you are sculpting in clay i presume you plan on eventually pulling abs? The mandibles seem too thick for an ANH Stunt helmet, proportionately.

How much $ Should I have for this?
sylverbard replied to jonbelcher10's topic in Getting Started - Read this First!
At 18 you can start handling. Find your local garrison. Save for a few months. Or a year. Dont buy the cheapest thing you can find, it will be regretted. Start with a reserve pilot or crewman. Then save for a TK. -
i kept mine separate simply for airflow. its nice to wear a tshirt and shorts in your FOTK.

StormieT - Request Pre-Approval Review (TFA Jimi + DIY)
sylverbard replied to lucent262's topic in Request TK Pre-Approval
Looks good. Im always concerned by gaskets not taking up all the space in the forearms. Everyone makes them smaller the armour. -
Blasters are not required for basic approval. These shouldnt pass anything theyre so flawed.
-
thats my point. Trooper helping Trooper is not Trooper helping lighten troopers wallet with garbage. If their CO knows about his activities (and the 5000.00 usd plus shipping hes made on 85 sales, assuming both threads are correct), then perhaps a discussion about how saying they are a 501st member, and using a 501st set to advertise a sale, gives the impression that the items are of 501st quality, if such a measuring tape existed for basic approval. I am surprised that he doesnt have 85 poor seller notes.

According to his ad, tipkryton is a 501st member. Anybody know him? Hes sold 37 of these things. Ugh.

TK-21615 Requesting ANH Stunt Centurion Status (AP) (416)
sylverbard replied to JenEcho's topic in Request Centurion Status
Looks good. -
The gaskets are wrong on the arms. Theres a huge bicept gap sticking out. The gasket should attach all around. May just need a seam let out, or entirely new gasket. I doubt this was ever approved competently. Vote to avoid.

Welcome. Armour isnt cheap. Dont buy cheap armour is a safe rule as well. 1. Find your local garrison. Someone there has hands on experience cutting and gluing plastic. They will help, and you need the local garrison anyways. 2. Stormtroopers are the omnipresent, most publicly recognized suit. Consider it a goal, but dont consider it a goal blocked by finances. Start with an officer costume. Or crewman. Get into the 501st, open all the member only doors, and then put some credits aside for that goal. Welcome!

A question from one Military Vet to Another........
sylverbard replied to TK-42775's topic in Off Topic
It can. New friends, the challenge of new venues and helping each other out, the joy of collecting high fives and fist bumps and hugs, the after troop chats and armour parties all help. -

FO Quadnoculars Build from T5H files
sylverbard replied to Shrapnel's topic in Weapons of the First Order
If these are the viewers used by the resistence, based on an old camera, it likely has the imp cog because they are old imp surplus, not recently stolen from the FO.
