Polar

it all depends on the manufacturer. They are all built differently. . Im sure it could be done though.

sheese, now I have TWO buckets to go mess with, thanks Gaz! lol, Seriously, thank you for this info, and the many PM's about my build!

is the Rubies frowned upon much like the armor?

what am I looking at price wise for this? I need a blaster!

ok, think I got it now

I am, help me out, Ive done a little searching not much but I will need blaster. Is the doopy doo's a kit you add onto a previously purchased blaster or what?

looks great! Love the cat in the pics lol. They always seem to " just be there"

a contour tool, I got mine at home depot for $10

ears look great. I wrapped up mine on my MTK this weekend. Bought this to assist. Its the one on top. have to trip some " meat" off the bottom still but soooooo much easier in my opinion

yeah, Ikinda screwed up on the ammo pack, have to re do it, and shrink the thighs down a little as well.

I suddenly feel much better about mine lol

Having issues loading pictures but, all trimmed, fitted, all thats left is strapping and glueing the shins, ran out of glue! Its coming together nicely, Ill post pictures at work manana.

I sure will when I get home tonight!

oh cool thanks, Im really not liking how mine is coming out after seeing the pictures of really spectacular looking ones on here! Im going to try polishing when I get done anyways so maybe it will look ok afterall.

I have both my buckets done, polished, shiny and all pretty looking. My question is on my armor build, Im going to have to create some return edged on a few things Ive screwed up on, got CA glue dried up on a few pieces I didnt realize etc, over all it looks like crapola and Im rather ticked off about it. Can I paint my armor and still have it match my lids or will it stick out too badly and end up having to paint the buckets as well. Thanks

I just shed a few watching wingnuts video. You guys are awesome! Wingnut, we hail from the west coast of FL and frequent there a lot, we WILL troop one day

lol, explaing this to the wife as we are going over my credit card recepits. $150 to ATA $669 to MTK $50 at target for under armor $100 to trooper bay for misc $200 to michaels and Joanne fabrics and Im not even shopped out neck seals, blaster, holster, etc, etc, ugggggg

well was on my death bed sick friday, cough cough, achoo. Plus my bosses are driving me nuts so I took the day, one to get cracking on the build and two to pressure clean and get a few things done with 25 people coming in for Thanksgiving. forearms and biceps started on the new bucket as well, its a bit bigger than the ATA, love em both though! got the right thigh about 99% complete and started on some other trimming.

anyone ever pulled a sick day from work to go quietly work on your armor at home in silence?

awesome!

good responses. I did get pulled over with my bucket on, on Halloween. The cop just was hoping I was in full armor but was not. He still got a laugh and said please dont wear this at night after he tried it on.

super cool!

well, after a hellatious half a week at work I was able to finally check out the contents of the box. Checked the inventory, all there, installed trooperbay sticker on truck lol. Gonna dive into it saturday and sunday as Ive got nothing planned but to clear my head and start a trimmin. Really like this kit. Hopefully hook up with a few guys on the 501 st for some advice as well. I laid it out on the bed, shut the lights off and called the dog in, he freaked out lmao

a guy I work with that has the deathstar tatted on his back just called me weird.
