  1. Yeah, he’s trying to register with whitearmor.net.
  2. I have a friend who is a prospective trooper. He wants to create an account but is having a heck of a time getting to do that. Is it because of the elections? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  3. My Uncle Gary has been fascinated with my Stormtrooper since he found out I built it. He asked me tons of questions about it. One of them was “Can you put the blaster in the holster?” I told him I probably could, but the leather is so new that it won’t let the blaster in. He told me he wants me to have that blaster go in holster. I was wondering if there was a way to soften that leather somehow?
  4. To me, the name Weldbond doesn’t sound like it would be good in a situation where you make a mistake.
  5. Looks like you are ready to join the ranks. Good luck with approval.
  6. Andrew, I was just thinking about ordering some Novus yesterday as I have heard so much about it. I will probably order some along with the sandpaper I’ll be needing.
  7. Thanks Kalani. I will definitely be using your recipe to do this project.
  8. A friend of mine graciously sewed some patches on my jacket yesterday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. My ear screws and td screws are correct. Thanks to @justjoseph63 for supplying these to those that need them. I added pictures of my gloves. I am aiming for Centurion, and have begun work on removing the return edge at my wrists, like Jordan recommended. I also bought acetone to begin work on making my seams flush. Although I have to buy more sandpaper.
  10. Great work everyone. Definitely some cool designs from everyone involved.
  11. I'll be using scraps from the trimming phase of my armor to make the ABS paste.
  12. While I was doing research to see if the rivets that came with my Anovos kit were passable at Centurion, I found that my added shims were not. When I started my build, I knew I’d be adding shims to close the gaps at my sides. What I didn’t know, was that I’d be tempted to take my Armor to higher levels of visual standards. Anyways, I fashioned some shims out of a sheet of ABS and added them to my armor. Here’s what they look like now: Kidney Plate Left side Kidney Plate Right side Now that I know I’d like to aim for Centurion, the seams on my shims should not be visible. This will take some work by making ABS Paste, filling the lines of the seams and making them magically disappear. I am at the very beginning stages of this project and will post more photos as I do each step. More to come, very soon...... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  13. I put in an order for a Hyperfirm before they started shutting down. I was referred to another company, the one Kalani metioned, and placed an order with them. The whole purchase was excellent. Communication was great, and they delivered a beautiful product. I'd definitely recommend them.
  14. I think I may have some of that or something similar to it by 3M. I will look to see what it is I have, and if its not it, I will get some.
  15. Thanks Brien. I will read this as well. Looks like I'll be going shopping for sandpaper and acetone.
  16. I will start tonight, by posting photos of my shims in their current state.
  17. Sure thing. I will try and post a step by step process.
  18. Thank you for the guidance and information, Joseph. I will probably start this process in the coming weeks.
  19. Thank you, Joseph. I saved all my scraps during the trimming process and should have plenty to make ABS paste, which I have never done before. I will read the thread you provided to learn more about fixing the shims.
  20. Late to this party. I was researching if Anovos rivets were passable for Centurion, and came across this thread. I shimmed my sides exactly how Jake has done. I guess I will have a little more work ahead of me to go for Centurion.
