  1. I wasn't worried so much about how much was glued to each side as I was in the 60mm difference in length in the description itself
  2. Ok, a quick question on the elastic across the bottom of the bells. It initially says that it is 270mm long, but when breaking it down it says 40mm of the 210 is glued to one side and 20mm to the other. Is the total length 270 with 60 glued down and 210 across the gap, or is the total length 210?
  3. If you are on a long haul, look for electrolyte packets to put in your water, but don't overdo it.. I work on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico and prior to my cushy job on the bridge I worked 12 hour shifts on deck, even then on the hottest summer days ( the ones where you had to change clothes 3 times due to sweat drenching them) , i might use one electrolyte pack later in the afternoon.. If you don't have those, a small bottle of gatorade in conjunction with a whole lot of water .
  4. Oklahoma puts you in Star Garrison territory, If you haven't already contacted them and are on Facebook there is a group for new recruits that can help you get in contact with other people in the same boat as you a little more local http://www.facebook.com/groups/296336407050926/ Imperial Academy - Star Garrison Recruit Page
  5. 1. Diana has an amazing build thread on building a set for women http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/25919-dianas-rs-props-build-anh-stunt/ 2. if you are anticipating a lot of resizing, ready built is really not the way to go , you can get a reasonably priced helmet kit fairly quickly from ATAworks 3. where is local? once you mention that someone from your area will probably turn up pretty quickly
  6. Exciting.. my Hero 1.5 came in a few days before i headed offshore.. now I have a new build to watch until I get home and start mine
  7. Fiebling's deglazer is ethyl acetate and ethanol, some people use denatured alcohols instead
  8. Wait until someone actually gets their hands on these 'new' AM sets before assuming they we the same.. I was told the next generation may be a hybrid of AM and NE kits using .the best part of both kits to make a super kit'
  9. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/26477-what-we-know-about-strapping-snaps-rivets-etc/ this thread has a lot of the measurements from the original suits, i used it to get the basic sizes to order my elastic
  10. this is also just the first release of names, so who knows who else is going to make an appearance
  11. Serkis and Max von Sydow are the two that have me most curious
  12. So... what do y'all think? "Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnal lGleeson, and Max von Sydow will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film. http://starwars.com/news/star-wars-episode-7-cast-announced.html
  13. On the left side of the home page or forums main page is a set of tabs titled 'film canon CRLs'..if you click on those it will give you the requirements for each version and visual references in most cases, which is a good start
  14. And yet you still have shown nothing that even remotely backs your accusations
  15. As a heads up, his next batch is supposed to be a mix of AM and NE parts Edited for typo
  16. editing because right after i posted i woke up enough to correct myself.. I haven't made it to San Diego, I have enough problems getting everything booked fro DragonCon every year to add that to the mix, but all the advice is valid for any big cons
  17. no pictures yet as I am also waiting on my armor, but I'll join the club. I'm male, 5'11' and 235lbs. I was at about 250 6 months ago when I went for my Merchant Marine license physical and found out I was having some blood pressure issues.. they wanted to put me on meds, but I flat out refused until I tried some alternatives. The next day I quit drinking caffeine and cut my soda intake drastically.. I'd probably cut it all together, but I like my Ginger ale and Ginger beer too much to quit entirely. I then started planning out a way to excercise that I would stick to as I get bored easily with gyms and I spend every other 3 weeks on a ship in the Gulf of Mexico, . through some trial and error I've come up with a plan that works with my schedule, we'll see how that goes . currently I'm alternating between jogging 2-3 miles on day one and rowing 6000 meters on a rowing machine on day two on the food side, I've been a vegetarian for 11 years.. not a healthy eating one, but a vegetarian nonetheless, all I'm doing there is trying to eat more fresh foods and less junk..which can be difficult on the ship, but luckily the baker isn't that good right now so the desserts aren't that tempting as for my goals, the biggest one was the blood pressure, which is already down to reasonable levels, so no drugs for me, yay after that I'd like to get down to the 200-220 range and see what happens after that..
