  1. Perhaps take a piece of your armour down to a model shop that sells ABS and then you can colour match it side by side? I know that Slough Radio Control Models sell small sheets of white ABS. I've bought it in there myself in the past for other projects. Are you on the UK Garrison forum too? Theres lots of great help and info over there too and their armourers are super helpful and awesome too I'm sure you will find the answers you need either here or there
  2. Which armour kit do you have? Best bet if you can, is to contact the armour maker and ask if you can buy a couple of sheets of the ABS they use for pulling their armour parts. Then at least you will be certain of an exact match
  3. I like the rounded off look too. I did mine like this
  4. TK-13376 requesting 501st access please. http://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=17965 Thank you Anthony
  5. Thanks guys! My clearance request for the UK Garrison has been approved! Hope to do my first troop soon! Just waiting on my 501st membership to go through so I can get my TK number
  6. Thanks very much guys! I'm just about to put my photos in for clearance with the UK Garrison and also apply for 501st membership! Can't wait!
  7. Finally finished my first Stormtrooper kit! Just finished by painting visible rivet and screw heads white. Took a load of photos tonight. With a very big smile!! Once I get the ok, I'll be putting it through for clearance with the UKG and signing up for 501st membership. Trooping soon!!
  8. I've just fixed elastics to the thighs and these are now attached to a belt under my armor to hold them up Just done my first test fitting of the whole kit!...Very excited! Just a few bits to finish off then I'm ready for approval!!
  9. Lastly tonight, I did a quick test fitting of the top half of my kit which is now pretty much done Last bits I have left are to touch up paint details like painting screw and rivet heads white, attach elastic to the top of the thighs and sort out a belt to hold those up with. I also need to sort out a new neck seal. The one I have is a little tight and I'd prefer it to go a little higher along the jaw line towards the back of my head. My wife is going to have a go at making one up in a nice soft black leather. We've also sourced some rubber cord that is the right thickness and nice, soft and flexible that we are going to use to pad out the ridges.
  10. Trying to get the belt sorted today. I have a great canvas belt that I got from TM with the rest of my kit. I wanted to prevent any unwanted fraying of the edges so I picked up a bottle of 'Fray Stopper' from a local craft shop. It is great stuff. clear and flexible and dries really fast. I just dabbed it carefully from the bottle along the edges of the belt. So far I've got my ammo belt trimmed and drop box front and backs trimmed and its now all ready for assembly I've also painted and fitted my ab buttons too
  11. Wow! Thank you! That is really great to hear I'm having so much fun with the build! Just looking forward to being ready for 501st approval and able to troop with my local garrison! I'll be applying for Expert Infantry and Centurion of course too
