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

Why do people put such outragious price tags on ebay items? I saw a Kenner Darth Vader case with max capacity of figures for $20,000

I got mine back in 2007 for $80.00 They were so cheap I bought another the next day.

With shipping someone paid $39.00 for this monstrosity.....WHY

I was on the reverse end of your problem. I bought a backapck from Japan. It never came, I emailed the seller & he responded once. Asking for more time, saying it was stuck in the post office due to snow. I waited as long as I could before the file date was up. In the end, I filed a claim with Paypal & they refunded me the money I paid. Then the seller begged me to retract my negative feedback because ebay was stoping him from selling. I told him I already filed a claim & Paypal had refunded me my money. He must have felt guilty or was trying to bribe me to retract my negative feedback, because he refunded me the total price I paid too.

Was the ab plate upside down?

Has anyone ever used the "box" in the back plate? Over in the Jolly Roger Sqd. I've seen some of our pilots make a fabric wallet or bag & secure it inside the back plate. :tie:

Glad there was a happy ending to this horrible story. I hate leaving my armor tub unattened. I make frequent trips back to all "secured rooms" during my nonarmor time.

yeah, what Dashrazor said. I had the same problem years ago when painting some wheels.

Thanks for the info. Michales has a Walmart in the next lot over. Will check there 1st. I was so close. I was in the craft section of Walmart looking for popsicle sticks, not the glue.

Then off to Michaels it is tomorrow morning. THX Panda

My friend gave me some rubber/mesh gloves from Harbor Freight. The top of the glove is dipped in rubber & the bottom has a black mesh like material. The mesh is thick enough to look like a solid black glove. They are form fitting & almost second skin. With the mesh palm they are super cool & breath. The bad thing they do not look like they will last many troops. The good thing I think they were under $4 a pair. I'll post pics if any one wants to see what they look like.

Those look ok to me, but they might be a lil hot in summer troops. Man I remeber having a pair of skin tight leather gloves that would have worked perfectly for my TK. But I let the kids use them one day when it was cold. Never seen them again.

Thanks for the link. I can't belive they are so cheap. Im gonna order a size 9 & 10. Wanna make sure I get the best fit, seeing I wear a 9 1/2 work boot & a 10 running shoe. Also I like their pauldrons. I'll pick up the orange too.

Ok, stupid question, Where do I get E6000 glue? I went to Lowes, Home Depot, & Walmart. No one knew what I was talking about. Closest thing I found was a Marine Adhesive 5200. Its getting late, so I'll try Michaels tomorrow.

Thanks Panda, I have a Lowes at the end of my street. Pics always make for a better understanding. Is this stuff thick? How should I apply it? Small bead or dabs & spread on both sides? I'm off to Lowes right now for some & I might as well get some more blue painters tape. I can't find mine.

I heard alot about this E6000 glue. Is this a Brand Name or is it a certain kind of glue? Will the package say E6000 on it? As for my theighs I need to make shims for those too. A few years of teaching karate gave me some nice legs or so my wife says
