  2. Travelling with Armor

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    Fergal,

     

    I have had armor for a few years now... I have packed it within itself in so many confiigurations trying to reduce the space it takes up. Unless your armor can be totally taken apart I don't think the cod/butt/ab/kidney plates would EVEN beging to fin in an overhead bin, or under the seat in front of you... just too large, mate!

  3. Dieting

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    Bernard pretty much hit it on the nailhead.

     

    One of THE BEST foods for getting the most protein for the calories is a can of tuna (packed in water), drained, then eaten straight out of the can, (with 5-6 crackers of your choice). You can even add a bit of non/low fat mayonaise if you want. I would eat fresh fruit in the morning, have a can of tuna for lunch, and run 6 miles (every other day)... I dropped 25-lbs. and was knocking out 6 miles (cross country) in 40 minutes after about 2-1/2 months.

     

     

    DO NOT eat anything after 9pm... no matter HOW BADLY you m ay be craving a bite to eat.

  4. A major life decision....

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    I'm 41, was always the "fat kid", had buck teeth and was always the brunt of jokes growing up... then I started to come into my own in High School. I got braces at 14, started to lose the baby fat, grew a head (or two) taller, put on muscle mass, wound up bigger, meaner, and tougher than my childhood tormentors, plus most of them are now pot-bellied, bald, low-skilled workers. Most of them have mellowed with age, so its all good... but it's nice to know that I could easily break any one of them into three easy pieces if I chose too... :lol:

     

    I did 8 hard core years in the U.S. Army, been around the world three times doing Uncle Sam's "bidding", completed the 2 week Air Assault school with a seriously messed up knee/leg during the ENTIRE legnth of the course that finished with a 10-mile, fast paced, forced road march (in full combat gear) by sheer will power/determination alone, & finished my "career" as an Infantry Drill Sergeant. I'm on my 3rd marriage, have 3 kids from a prior marriage, and 3 step-kids who have a dead-beat father.... and yes I shell out $1,000 a month to the ex-wife on top of it all. :blink:

     

    I have had many good friends (that have come and gone) during all of those phases of my life. I have developed an internal fortitude that I draw from that has gotten me through to the end that I survived (a miracle by itself), plus I'm just a mean-a$$ed ground-pounder S.O.B. Through it all I have realized that people/friends come and go, but you and your family are forever. Those who are worth a dam will appreciate you for YOU, all others aren't worth your time or angst.

     

    One major key to life is BALANCE! Sure, you might like to wear eccentric clothing fashions... go for it, but if you want a decent job do you think you should show up for an interview wearing Superman underwear as a suit, and purple sneakers, with all kinds of fishing tackle hanging off your face? Probably not. It's a "balance thing", being true to yourself, but also showing respect to others, or showing respect for an event/situation like a job interview.

     

    Another thing about balance, for instance some folks take the Star Wars hobby to lofty heights of extreme. It defines them and they obsess over every STUPID, VAPID detail... discussing and extrapolating on things as silly as the manufacturer of the E-11, the number of bumps on a crapily made movie-prop Stormtrooper helmet worn in Tunisia, and how many flippin' grains of sand were embedded in the left tear drop/trapezoid and so forth.... like it's real, or even matters. If that is what some folks are into and it makes them happy that's fine, but they are limited to the type (and number) of folks that can/will relate to them.

     

    Always keep this in mind... if YOU are paying your own bills, and nobody else... tell them to suck eggs!!! Some of the most interesting people are those who didn't know what they wanted to do until they were in their 40's. You have just begun, and in 20 years you'll look back and be glad you know what you know... and wish you knew it back then.

     

     

    Plus what Nathan said earlier... oh yeah, and don't start up with the anime thing again... I hate that goofy stuff! <_<

     

     

     

    All things aside, the one piece of advice I can give that will truly help you in your life... wear sunscreen. ;)

    Hope that helps! :salute:

    The star destroyer is around 17 inches long I think, around there.

    OK, how much do you want for the Star Destroyer with shipping to zip code 97071 ?

    Hi Tony,

     

    could you put me down on the reserve list for the all black ones with speakers please

     

    many thanks colin

     

     

    Hey Colin,

     

    I'll add you to the list, but in order for me to find you easier, please click on the following link to the speaker-hovi thread and post your interest there:

    Hi Tony, I already have a set of the mini speakers (that you use) on order. I was wondering if I could get them in your hovi-tips myself, or are they completely sealed up where I have no chance of getting them in there at all? I didn't know if they fit in through the screen end or the helmet end. I really like what you've done, I'm just hoping I can do the speaker mod. Thank you for your help.

     

    Tim

     

     

    Hey Tim,

     

    It's no problem, I can pre-drill the holes for the wires and leave the screens loose so you can install the mini-speakers, then CA glue the screens into place yourself. Are you wanting the two-tone version or the all black version? If you are wanting the two-tone version, keep in mind that you will have to remove the black felt on the mini-speakers and shoot some white paint on them or it will not look very good. If you are wanting the all black version, then it's not an issue and the speakers "disappear" when the screens are installed. IMHO I think the all black speaker-hovis look better.

     

    You can click on the following link to my speaker-hovi thread for close-up photos of what they would look like. You can also post your interest there as it will make it easier for me to find when it comes time to PM you when your order is ready:

    Dan,

     

    AWESOME PULL... HOLY SMOKES... my heart... skipping...a...beat... can't feel... toes... must BREATH!!

     

    Just a couple suggestions (according to my opinions):

     

     

     

    #1 suggestion:

     

    This "trap-dimple" version is cool for the "gotta have it just as crappy looking as they were on the movie set"-collectors, but I would (IF I were you) also make an "idealized" version without the distracting "imperfections"... believe me, there are PLENTY of Troopers who prefer "idealized armor" over the movie set "crapola-looking up-close" versions.

     

     

     

    #2 suggestion:

     

    Send it to me! :P

    F.S fully built resin e-11 stormtrooper blaster, price drop!!

    Posted

    Hi Paul, would a blaster core be able to be fitted into this (I really want to be able to put leds and sounds into a blaster I either build or buy) :)

     

     

    Hey Stephen,

     

    You could cut (or better yet grind) the front "muzzle tip" off up to the barrel/body, drill out the barrel/body for your electronics, then bond a replacement "muzzle tip" back onto the barrel/body.

     

    If it will help you to decide to purchase this (and to help Paul sell this beauty), I'll GIVE you one of my casted muzzle tips for free so you can both achieve your goals. :salute:

    Dang Joe... according to the international shoe charts, this equates to a 10.5(USA) and is about a 1/2 size too small for me, otherwise I'd buy them, SORRY!!

     

     

     

    You may have better luck on the SpecOps forums what with all the TX thugs running around over there! ;)
