Chunk

Hey All, Well after having my FX kit sit in my bedroom for almost 3yrs to the day. I"ve begun putting it together. I masked off the legs & forarms. I've sanded the joining parts, & trimmed the excess off the theighs. I applied the glue to one of the calves. Now Im at a stand still as I wait for the glue to dry on this piece of armor. I used 6 diffrent clamps to hold it closed. I used E6000 to glue the front seam of the legs. I'll have to shim the rear. I wanna velcro the shim in, just incase there is a weight change. I'll post more updates as I get to them

On my way now, how much gas do I need to drive from California to Florida

I've been looking at the Stanley 24gl roller tub. It's just a lil too big for the $50 charge. It will be $150 each way I may just have to wear my Imperial Crewman.

Make a stand now Wade. I always tell my wife she goes before my Star Wars stuff goes. My partner at work has a son who's wife made him sell most of his Star Wars collection. I scored! I filled up my car trunk with so much stuff. It looked like I ripped off Toys R Us. I was able to get 50+ figures, 8 12" dolls, Ridell scaled Darth Vader helmet, cards sets, & a whole bunch of other stuff all in its original packageing for $100

Man they get you comming & going literly. I havn't been on an airline in about 5yrs. I can't belive the times haved changed that they now charge for luggage. How do they expect people to travel. Don't give me a super low ticket price & then charge me for luggage, food, nuts, drinks..ect Raise the ticket price a lil & incoroparte all that into the ticket price. Now I have to show up with $50 each time I show up at the ticket counter. The only good thing I may be able to squeeze everything into one bag. But it all depends on how much I spend at Celb 5. You know now that you mention it, 3800lbs is alot. Now that I do the math. Maybe a few hundred pounds. But with the airlines chargeing outrageous prices for luggage. Mine mite be the only tub in the cargo hold

Hello All, Waderawpunk's question about armor tubs got me thinking. What do you fly with? Is a large helmet ok for carry on? I can probably fit my gear into a 20-25gal tub without the helmet. But the helmet is what kills me. Does anyone know what is considered "oversize" for luggage? I'll be flying American Airlines to Florida, & Delta back to California. I know both are owned by the same parent company so both should charge the same rate. Blackwatch over in the JRS works for an airline companny & says your tub should be able to withstand at least 3800lbs of pressure on it. With the tubs being square & flat on top. They will deffinatly go on the bottom of the luggage compartment. I'd hate to get to Florida & pick up my luggage only to find my tub was squashed & my gear ruined.

What Im concered about it is the weight that will be piled on top of my tub during flight. These plastic tubs are great for local troops. But Blackwatch over in the JRS works for an airline & says that your tub shuold be able to withstand over 3800lbs on top of it. I'd hate to get to Florida & pick up my luggage only to find that my tub was crushed & my gear ruined. With it being square & having a flat top it would deffinatly go on the bottom of the luggage compartment. Im looking at teh Stanly rugged tub. But is that considered oversize? Also does anyone know what the norm is for ovarsize charge? Is it by weight or size? never flown with my gear.

I give my wife days, sometimes weeks in advance that I'll be working on one of my Star Wars projects. I drop hints that on my next day off I wanna work on my project. I always ask if we have any plans, if none. I'm free to work all day on a project. She gives me the go ahead to be outside all day. Now that the weather is getting warmer. It's time to start asking permission again

Well let me get my wife over here. She can give you some great ideas & things to do while in Berlin. It's her home town. I had a great time when I visited 5yr ago. Ok, She said it would be easier to answer if she knew a lil about you. How old, what do you like to do, what are you interested in doing, how long will you be there. I'll check back later....

These are pretty cool, I got some last year. Are yours the kind that are in the tiny rolls? I also found some Clone Wars baggies with a 100 stickers ea. Kids love stickers

Tomorrow is the day I start my TK. I have all the neccasary parts to beguin. I'll post updates.

Super nice gun

Ahh I'm saved. I too have this problem with my shins.

Dang Dude, love the door

Lots of good info here.

Go Speedy Go!

This is good to know. Thanks for the tip

You guys have so much knowledge about the stormtroopers. As I read more & more here I find lil discrepencies I've never seen before in the stormtrooper. You guys amaze me

Super nice helmet.

I wish I was tall & skinny

I have two MRCE's I was very lucky I go them at Redfordfilms.com back in 2007. They were $80 each. Figured at that price I couldn't go wrong.

Ohh but they are so sexy

I use this 45gal Rubbermaid tub. I got it at Lowes Hardware for under $30. It holds all my tie pilot gear with room for extra. I'll use the same tub for my TK. But I do need to know what will bae suitable for airline travel as I wanna wear my Tie or Tk at Celb 5 ----------

ALRIGHT! Your armor came. It seems everytime I try to get to my TK armor build, I get distracted by another project. I'm ready to beguin & the mailman drops off my wife's Tie Pilot bobdy armor :tie: Well I can't do much work, just waiting on her chestbox to come & she's complete. So guell I'll get started on the TK

Found it at Walmart in the craft section. Picked up some popsicle sticks while I was there, & got the blue painters tape. All good to beguin the long awaited TK build
