played xbox, did some sewing, cleaned some ABS and now on here

A quick question about fans, I'm running 1 fan off a 9v battery with an on/off switch wired between..I want to put them into my lid, but after 10mins of continual use the battery becomes incredibly hot and I'm loathed to put it anywhere near my head. Has anyone else had anything like this happen?

I've not had much problems with the snaps..I bought the plier thingies that are for them..they seal those babies right up no messing. I used the flatter side of the snap on my squares of plastic..they sit much flusher...now riveting, thats my pet peave

Hope everything settles down for you soon Smitty, your lenses for my MRCE were brilliant, thanks very much.

Seeing as I've been a goofy lefty all my life, it seems perfectly natural to me

Many thanks Nathan

I'll take one Nathan many thanks Wording: Star wars A New Hope E-11 Blaster Great thread guys, only wish I had something to offer too

Hope you feel better Derek, I've just got over a week of that too, not nice.

Really sorry to hear that Darrel, I know what it's like to loose somebody you care about. Please accept my deepest condolences. Stephen.

Had supporter status for a while now, glad to help out this place is the best on the net! Couldn't be without it

I should feel quite at home then

Thanks Terrell, thought that was the case - cheers

so the last piece of my armour left to glue are the thigh pieces. I've trimmed them to fit snuggly round my thighs and am coming to glue them. Before I do I wanted to ask, if the front seams are supposed to be at the front of my leg, or off to the side nearer my hip. I've seen both versions, but which is the correct method before I attach the ammo boxes? Cheers

I used a product called RemoveZit - it works wonders, just take a small bit on a cloth and gently work it over the tube stripes and they will come off in about 5mins with no effort (just be carefull as that stuff REALLY shifts paint from plastic)

You can also get them from John Lewis Terry, but they are a bit more expensive than hobbycraft

Congrats Terry, hey everyone..wait for me, hope I can get my suit ready for the end of nov

Cheers Alex, I'll try and find some here..yeah it is an FX, I have decided to go the TD route and seeing as this is my first build, I'm going to try that and if it comes out well, I'll try my hand at a more accurate suit for my TK

I've seen lots of armour builds on here, and as of today - it's now my turn As I didn't get any ABS Glue, can any of the UK people recommend any as I'd like to purchase some..wish me luck with my project

Hey Steve...looks great - are those garrison members free to help out when my shipment arrives? I think I'm too slow at this building lark..I've still not finished any of my 'projects'

Indeed they are..my pro version arrived and it's awsome - many thanks John

Hey, happy birthday Steve - hope the suit building is going well

Cheers Nate I'll do that..just ordered some from John, thanks everyone for replying

Okay, today I removed the ears on my MRCE..god those things just didn't want to come off, (I bow down to those that were able to get theirs off without wrecking them) they were glued with the worlds strongest glue..I had to litterally knacker them to get them off..hence this topic. I was going to replace them anyway, but could someone point me in the direction of someone that can offer replacement ears that will fit the MRCE?

Looking forward to seeing your suit progess Nathan
