O' the memories! the jolly old day!

just let em cure capn' let the crystals settle a bit, there matey!

keith prepared the hovie tips himself, and they are the pride of my lid. nuff said!

just the TX and some BFG lovin'! and you sir, are gracing this thread? joer? wow... nice... many hours of respect go to special operations. in the service to the emperor himself!~ only sorrow and truth... (( on a side note, my cat has been having problems today, she's got blood coming from her mouth, and it's bright red. )) worried about my baby feline... blessed be my old friend. update: so far she has resumed her normal routine... good news... and to you mlady trooper... many good wishes to thee J. your blaster is still cooling from the heat of mustafar! photos soon!

check out the build thread HERE APEX sells original parts and is the best domestic supplier of parts for a build.

ok 100 a minute. read fast.

ROTJ sure is different in many ways to the ESB lid, in my opinion. each has it's own special differences... evolution is a great way to think about the passage of time expressed in the films.

one great idea is to use all original parts, and supply a tube. check out the build thread HERE

this is not the case... only armors like the old FX came with those parts moulded on.

many people put rivets behind these caps, on some armors they are part of the belt plastic. you should be able to get a set of caps from TM or john danter in the UK. I take a different path when I assemble my belt- drill a small hole at each point where the caps go, and use a screw post to assemble them. I glue the cap to the top of the screw post with epoxy and then put the cap through the belt. the main reason for this is that you can remove and change up your belt's canvas, and switch up your way of trooping from different films. for ANH you switch belt and holster and blaster, and ESB you also change belt and holster and blaster. making this part with screw posts is key to making it easy to switch it up! ----------- Black TX caps shown untrimmed and ready for epoxy. you usually have to coat the top of the metal before gluing, as some kinds of glues can warp plastic when metal is present. DONT USE e-6000 for this!! from the looks of it you're also going to have to purchase a canvas belt. TK 4510 is your best bet on this part!

the points at each end of the frown should come to a small point. on ROTJ lids you have a flat or squared end.

don't paint over it until it's cured.

nice set of ideas here folks! thanks to everyone who chimed in... woot!

that video was epix

probably just changed the cell "padding" by a few pixels. and I really have to mention that it's really strange for someone to worry about clicking a "logo link" where does that come from? it's not like this forum has any malware links??? "zoinks scoob!"

you can put one way mirror film inside them as well... NO flash, and the added benefit of sunglasses. I'm in the "no mesh" camp on this one! cheers!

just paint the edges of your souls and you got it!

this is just the jax version of the blackhole. I have a BFG and pouches and pauldron... so I might make it just a little more fancy? all black lid, and no silver details at all!

terry and paul have been planning a cross reference armor photo strip for several months now. and with all the armors undergoing modifications, such as TM and ATA for example, who have re-tooled their bucks. you'd almost have to put MAKE/ YEAR/ STYLE as your codex

there has been a making of shoot about the SE sandtroopers. video in the LFL archives and such...

well... we know for sure that 1.5 inch pipe is not cannon for an E-11 and the plans there, while good enough for some should be modified if you're using actual sterling parts. it's smaller than 1.5 but not as small as 1 1/4

my scope has flathead machine screws. M 40 with original spring clip base in my replicas I use 6/32 flathead countersunk machine screws.

why make them out of rubber when T track is solid?

the outside of the leg is always longer at the ankle. that aligns them.

panda is about to nail it!
