    I'm back

    It's great to see that you are getting your life back together after what must have been a very tragic event. If you think you have vision problems now, just wait till you get that bucket on you head.

    Movember

    Post up your Movember pics!!
  3. <br><br> This will help when it comes to attaching the canvas to your ab
  4. Tried out the Wool blend last night. I actually wore it under my Eastbay. Both layers were thin enough, so it wasn't too bulky. What a difference a layer can make. I wasn't cold at all.
  5. What you've there is a suction problem. Drill a hole in the TD under the control panel. If you haven't already glued it down.
  6. Exactly!! And don't over stir as it can lead to air bubbles.
  7. Send me a PM with your email address and I will forward you a PDF file for a 6mm Acrylic, Laser Cut E-11 Blaster Stand<br> Cost me about $40 CDN to have it cut locally.
  8. For the bottom curved edges, a little trick is to use a spray paint can to trace the curves.
  9. You are going to want to address the chest popping over the ab plate
  10. Steve, you have an amazing attention to detail and have helped many of us TK's look our best and to that I say thanks. Hopefully this gives you more time to produce more of those awesome holsters.
  11. Have you considered shimming the rear of the thigh? Open them up and shim the inside, fill the valley on the outside with ABS paste, sand and use a proper sized cover strip.
  12. If you're not screwing it on you're doing wrong.
  13. I used the stencil kit from Trooperbay for my tube stripes. They are adhesive backed decals. I've heard of some people painting a base coat of white over the stencil first, thus any paint bleed would be white. Then paint blue over that and remove the stencil.
  14. One of my Garrison mates had a perfect response to that one. Someone commented that we had bad aim and the TK beside me says, "Why don't you ask Luke's Uncle how our aim is." Shut that guy up!!
  15. First time I rode the Coaster in armor I really bruised my back from the return edges on the kidney and back pieces. No cracking of the armor at all. I did pop a chest to ab snap though. Second time I rode I added padding between my back and the armor. Much better.Thanks to ID30791 for riding along. The only one in the Garrison able to attend for some private ride time. <br><br> This one was a tight fit however. It was our Imperial Shuttle after marching in a local parade. It was really something to see.
  16. It's really not that hard, almost kind of fun, and soooo rewarding to complete it yourself. Start reading build threads now.
  17. You should have no return edge on the bottom.
  18. Those green things you see in my helmet are the "Thin" speakers for my "Environmental Audio System". I bought the whole setup with mini microphones and a stereo receiver. I got mine from Skyminer here on FISD in the ongoing sales section.
  19. Sitting is just something you can either do or can't do.
  20. It was an option I considered, but I ended up getting a two piece suit from Costco. The polyester is mixed with Murino Wool. I haven't field tested them yet, but I'm hopeful.
  21. Just wondering what everyone is using for those cold days? I have the Eastbay suit I got from Trooperbay, but damn it was cold this morning. The Eastbay EVapor cold weather is only available in charcoal as far as I can see.
  22. I believe the goal when building a TK is to try your hardest to look like the TK trooping beside you, and the one beside him. A renegade TK design will probably stand out in a crowd and create a lot of questions for your Garrison mates like "What happened to that guy?" We all build based on what was actually seen on screen, not an idealized version of it. Just my 2c.
  23. I would recommend scuffing them first. I used bunched up news paper. Worked great.
