Mineral turpentine on a clean cloth, out of all the thinners it is the most gentle. I have used it for the exact purpose you have described. It took a little time but the ABS surface was clean as a whistle. That glue they used on the back of industrial Velcro is a nightmare to get off, so just work a small area at a time with the Turps and keep moving to a clean section of the cloth as the glue will melt. When finished wipe the ABS with a wet cloth then dry. Job done. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Looking the business Rick, good luck with your application, but you won't need it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Did you use to he system 1, 2, 3. Also if you have a polishing bit for your Dremmel, it will make a difference, then use a softer buffing bit. To be honest, when your out trooping, you will be the only one that notices it's there, to the children you will be the perfect Stormtrooper. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Shoulder bridge is an easy fix, just shorten the straps. If you feel they sit too far back leaving a large gap at the front between the chest plate, just reposition the strap a little more forward on the bridge elastic. It is coming along nicely, good work. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That's a bloody good job Trooper [emoji106] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Still a cool story Tim, we are waiting on an update of his course map and ETA's at locations, so there is some planning going on within the garrison. I am sure we should get a good turnout and some photos so will be sure to post some up on the boards. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It would be my pleasure Tim.

Reminds me of a Bee Gees song You can tell, by the way she walks, she got buns in her hair. I know you our going to try and sing it! Ah ah ah ah stayin alive , stayin alive. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ha ha, that's what I did on my first batch of app photos, only discovered after I had loaded them up to photo bucket. My wife wasn't impressed , as she was taking the photos and has little to no tolerance for Star Wars. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Agree with Arc, the Redback Garrison in Brisbane are waiting eagerly for his arrival. Lord Vader has prepared his finest, welcoming party and we are awaiting our dispatch orders. No doubt a few beers will be shared with Scott and some great stories. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes I have though about the Camelbak idea, but the feeder tube is quite thick and I don't have the space in my neckseal to be comfortable. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi and Welcome to the FISD Are you 5' even or 5 something, also your weight will help us guide you in the right direction. As far as armour for the slimmer trooper goes, AP (Authentic Props) suits a 32" waist and can be made to fit a wider girth, but the arms and legs will suit up to 5"11. You can trim down your shins and thighs for shorter length. Some of the armours like AM are designed for the larger trooper in all dimensions. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well done. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You can reduce them, I reduced mine, but I don't think you need to remove them, they also help to keep the pieces aligned and stop possible overlapping. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You can build one more accurate than that one for less. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I love my AP armour, and Mark is awesome to deal with, nuff said. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Looking good, and as The5thhorsemans images indicate, you have to flatten one side a little. If you are worried about over heating or bending the sniper plate itself, there is another way that a very wise man told me when I was doing mine (Gazmosis) heat the ridge of the shin and push it out to the sniper plate, as it will be hidden behind. It was a handy tip so I slightly bent both to meet half way. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
