TK-7980

I'm hoping it'll look better when painted. Also, I'm priming the inside gray, is that alright? Or is black still the better choice? I can run out and get some black, but gray is all I have on hand. ALSO, where did you get your ears? Ebay? EDIT: I'm done. I just messed up the brow too, brow trim doesn't fit anymore! I'm so bad/sad. I'm just going to buy another one later. Maybe a TE2 preassembled so that I just have to paint it. UGH. Might just toss it.

Just screwed up on fixing the ears. I now have a hole in the side, currently stopped up with bondo.

I just dremelled off the tip of my blaster. Then I looked at your mod. I think I messed up. Should I use bondo to cover it up or dremel off the rest and then bondo over it and attach the kit blaster tip to it?

Oooooooooooh ok. I see now. Thanks.

Yeah I know, but I mean 220 fine or 220 coarse etc?

I went to the hardware store the other day and found types like coarse, fine etc etc. Do the sandpapers you're talking about come in a specific grain?

What grit sandpaper should I use to sand down helmets and whatnot to prime them for painting?

I don't mean to derail, but someone in my area was recently crushed to death in a trash compactor. She was shoplifting!

Awesome, looks like I'll be getting a TE2. Thanks a bunch. Could anyone point me in the direction of a seller?

How large are these buckets in comparison to the MR CE? Smaller? Slightly larger?

Anyone have some pointers on how to keep lenses from foggin up? Fans seem to help a LITTLE.

CA Glue... is that like Super Glue or something? Because I've got that industrial strength super glue used for building the metal warhammer models. Would that work if I went along the inner seams with it?

I've had it since August 7th. I haven't modded it at all, other than replacing the lenses and frown mesh. Oh and of course filling the chin seam. Yeah I pick it up by the chin and when I slightly push against it or get a slight grip on it, it creaks and I can feel the whole thing kind of want to fall apart. Same for pushing a little against the sides. If I'm gonna reinforce it, how should I start? Add more glue on the inside seams? Add screws?

Has anyone else's MR CEs felt like they were coming apart after a while? It might be the 60ish degree weather (unlikely), but I feel like it's gotten weaker structurally. My brow trim has recently come loose and when I pick it up under the chin I feel like it's just going to fall off/apart all together. Is this normal or do I just suck? :c

Yeah nevermind, I got it to work. I thought I couldn't get the amp cover off, turns out it was just REALLY hard to open. Works great now though

Just bought this and it doesn't work at all! Maybe I just got a broken one. Has anyone else bought this and had the same experience?

paypal doesn't allow me to buy from doopydoos :c I'm sooo saaaaaaad! edit: I lied! I had my country wrong. Stupid me!

Wow awesome. Same stuff as the sealant used for the mouth thing. Now I don't have to go out and buy more glue! Came home today to find out my cold house (or some unknown force) weakened the brow trim bond. Side note, has anyone else's MR CE started to feel... wobbly or like its coming apart everywhere after a while? Could this be fixed/reinforced with screws?

Is there a certain brand I should use? Or will house paint (I guess is whats used) work fine?

Where can I get bondo? Also, what paint(brand or whatever) did you use?

I'm just afraid I'll screw it up.

Fantastic!

How much would I have to pay you to do this for me? (seriously)

Accepted into the 501st? I'm talking the AOTC ones. Not sure where to put this, thanks.

The only kits or assembled armors that I can find relatively cheaply are the black stormtroopers. I really would like to be an original white TK. That and I'm unsure if that guy that's selling the FX lites will come through with all of the kits he needs. I'm just looking for a fairly sure fire way to get a kit. Cheaply as well.
