By the looks it is very much similar to Frog Tape, it's just not green Frog is painters tape and there are various grade you can purchase.

I agree with Dan on this. I chose to use internal cover strips to reinforce the front of the calves (a potential weak spot due to flexing open from the rear to get them on) and also my thighs. I actually used internals to aid in gluing the two halves together from the inside first before adding my externals on the thighs and forearms and calves. It allowed me to align the parts easily. I also can get pretty active in my armour in the right environment, yeah I've been known to break out in dance lol. Funk RnB style that is, not interpretive I used CA glue on m entire kit and it is still going strong over the last 8 years. There is also the old "if you cant see it, it doesn't matter" so no, internal strapping and supportive cover strips will always be allowed and a personal choice.

As Glen mentioned, my door is always open and you can discuss whatever you need with me. If I can help, I certainly will. I do also speak with GML from all over the world if they have any issues or enquires, and I also do what ever I can to overcome problems for our memebrs. Troopers helping troopers.

Hi Alex, you can use this as a guide for ANH/ESB TK thermal dets Go here to the gallery and you will find measured sizing of the RS suit TD Bear in mind the TD do vary slightly in length from maker to maker so close enough is good enough. Here are a few more images that have been measured up Hope you find these of some assistance.

New CRL Half arsed TK'S Description: Stormtrooper, Whatever we could pull together at a moment's notice. Prefix: TK?? Detachment: First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment Ahhh I don't think so Jack! Context: Episode: not in this universe buddy! These Stormtroopers (Stunt/Hero/rubies/various fond parts from costume shops) were the pre-emptive laughing stock in the boarding party, or boring party, cosplay event of the Rebel blockade runner the "You ain't bringing that costume in here IV", and made up the main garrison of poor man's productions that could be seen throughout the corridors of shady conventions and at cheap events.

Wow this is going to be way cool. -
I'll echo Joseph's sentiments, and such a clean build too. Fantastic work Paul.

Yep, that's how this works Justin. members can certainly nominate others for their 3D contributions, then the staff have a discussion on the merits and value and we go from there. I shell take a look at these recommendations over the weekend.

Look!!! It's Darth Vader!!! -
Nice work Teresa and Glen, thank you.

Wow Chris, they just keep improving, I am very excited to see some pulls on these parts in the near future. Keep up the outstanding work.

@Soulart can you clarify this by chance? If the CRL is incorrect than this is a quick and easy adjustment I can make, just need to request CRL access and I will amend.

ANOVOS (DENUO NOVO) FOTK Armor Delivery Possibility
Sly11 replied to JonnieBear's topic in TFA Stormtrooper
Wow this appears to be great news for the many awaiting various bits and pieces. certainly glad you have received some packages, maybe there is hope after all. -
Looks like an oversight, we shall address it in the near future.

Definitely speak with the DO's as Glen mentioned, but if the game version is different to the live action then generally you follow the version you are building to. The red/brown looks closer to the game, where the live action is definitely a deep red or darker tone of red.

Fans are definitely a must to keep trooping just that bit more comfortable. Aker amp and mike set up also really add to the costume and the experience for both children and adult alike. So many times i have heard the words "Ahhhh he talks as well" lol. Glad to hear you have still been working away in the background and can't wait to see some photo updates.
