  1. Convoy for Cancer - Australia

    in Field Training Exercises

    The annual convoy raising funds for cancer families has about 400 motorbikes and 400 trucks travel from one side of town to the other. The 501st got asked to troop, but I wanted to ride in the convoy too. Combine the two!

     

    Kitted as a snow trooper so I could sit and bend my legs properly I painted my helmet white (plasti-dip) and made a visor screen out of insect wire, painted white and black. My buddy, made a facemark out of a kids mask and a shortened cape for the ride - rest of costumes as per 501st. We then kitted up properly for the 'troop' after the ride.

     

    Was a bunch of fun. The looks on peoples faces lining the roads! What? Has no one seen a snow trooper and Vader ride motorbikes before....

  4. E11 Power Cylinder & wires

    in ANH BlasTech E11

    Are power cells actually necessary to be screen accurate? Or were there also blasters with hengstler counter but without power cells?

    ^^ What jkno said. It was decided that these items just fell off, as evidenced by those pics of the glue still there, so all blasters must have them.

     

    Just as there are slight errors with armour (no stripes, etc) the CRL doesn't allow for those 'mistakes' or 'accidents'.

  15. My Addictive E-11 build 1st timer. Possible EIB/Centurion approval?

    Looks fantastic Tahitoa! Has to be one the best looking Rubies around. Sanding those bulging T-tracks makes a big difference, doesn't it?

     

    If I were to change one thing, it would be to lower the angle of the clearing strip visible on the bolt. Theoretically it would be visible in the slot, so the angle to be lower at the rear.

    And if I were to add one thing, it would be a little more detail on the magazine. Perhaps a flat plate and bubble on the end of the magazine.

    Unfortunately, as it stands the Deployment Officers won't allow a Rubies for EIB or Centurion (maybe the length of the blaster has something to do with it), but a little birdie tells me there may be some changes in the future... However, I don't think ANY 'toy' guns will ever be allowed for Centurion.

    Well done mate.

  16. Airsoft sterling as a base for an E-11?

    in ANH BlasTech E11

    Dunno really. Probably best for PP owners or Sterling owners to answer. I know the PP are extremely accurate and not really sure if a Sterling will give you anything extra other than weight?? Although I guess it will give you the trigger, metal on metal feel with the end cap, etc. I guess, nothing beats the real thing, but the PP is darn close (for a lot less $$ and weight).

    together with Derreks' kit which is mostly, if not all, cast from an actual Sterling only recently

    Will give you one of the best E-11s possible.

     

    There is quite a few threads already in the build section using Phoenix Props or Doopy Doos and T-Jays kit. They all look awesome.

  22. Kidney notch issue

    I hope he doesn't mind me sharing, (sent in a pm) "Hey Eric, so the decision by Sly and myself is have the 22mm notch nearest the ab, not further back as originally discussed. We know this may a bit of work on your part however when it's completed it will look much nicer."

     

     

    So if you need to have the armour with the extended kidneys, you will need to move the notch to the front edge of the kidney armour. 22mm x 22mm is what the notch needs to be in the end for centurion. Now this is extra work but I trust UKS and Sly with my life at this point and if that's what they say we need to do and what will look best that's what I'm doing. IF you need help please message me. I will be fumbling my way through this as soon as my armour comes in and will be happy to share my findings :) Considering I most likely now have 6 shims to make this fit me haha. 

     

    That's odd that one DO sets a precendence one way, then other DO's change it. Oh well...

     

    Sly and Ukswrath - Are builders recommended to fill in that nice work Mark has done with the AP kidney plate to move the notch further forward?

     

    It's hard to see actual screen caps of the notch as most are covered by the belt, but most images of the armour in the gallery actually show the notch right back at the join to the butt, not near the front. Can you clarify your decision here please so other builders who are using the 'search' feature can find the answer.
