The CRL is just a very rough draft. Currently the CRL project is in limbo. Hopefully that will change after the election.

I'm using firefox. It was worse last night, and have only had it pop up today in the PM functions.

I'm getting it too, but remember we are still in the middle of a server migration.

Hey even when the FISD is running at it's slowest we're faster than any other detachment and most most garrisons at approvals. I agree if there is a way to raise the thighs it would help, but I also need to get off my duff and write a new how to shim tutorial that I have all the pictures for.

PM sent.

Topics merged to keep it all in one place.

When you want to start selling these, please make a thread in the sale area. You'll get more traffic too.

On the Hasbro conversions it has to be mounted higher. The speaker box is in the way otherwise.

Tube stripes have a right and left side? Where have I been.

We'll need a closeup of the helmet just to verify all the details, and an action shot for your profile. Down the road I'd suggest looking at doing the chestplate mod, but that's just my two cents. Nice job trooper.

BTW I need an action shot for your profile once you get approved.

He did long ago, but a few pair a year still pop up for sale.

Nice job on the armor Dan, should be an easy pass. Scott is on ferlow for some much needed R&R but will be reporting back shortly.

Welcome to the FISD Kevin.

You have to be a 501st member to buy them.

Hats off to you Dave, that is incredibly generous of you. Thanks for the nice gesture, hopefully it will be carried on.

Keep up the good work Alex.

Scott is 100% correct in what he said. A few things to keep in mind are, people always make suggestions to improve armor in elite application threads. It's not malicious, it's just suggestions to go above and beyond the above and beyond. If you encounter requirements that are being asked for that are not listed in the elite requirements page, please post what they are. Also noting is permanent. What kind of glue did you use on the extra button in the middle (chances are it can be removed). As far has the rest of the belt, you can drill out the rivets, move the pieces behind the TK belt and re-rivet and paint the heads white. Of course don't forget to use rivet washers too, they will make sure they stay in place. One last comment, if you need a replacement belt, most armorers sell parts. Contact TE2, AP, etc if you need a replacement one with no hassle. Otherwise I'm sure you can find someone in the Legion to middle man you a belt from AA.

No. The position was never spelled out, and we approve the modified Hasbro blasters with them too high.

This is a resource list, not a want to buy section. WTB helmets and armor requests are not allowed under the forum rules. If you need a detonator please start a thread in the sale section.

About the only thing I can add is taper down the thighs. Basically you cut a wedge removing a couple inches off the bottom and none at the top, especially for the left as it's much bigger at the bottom than the right. It really helps pull the whole costume together.

Open the phone book for plastic suppliers. ABS armor is usually made from 80 gauge double smooth ABS.

Pictures and tutorial have been updated. Thanks Pete.

For foam, I've had good luck with hotglue.

Merry Christmas everyone, and here is to a great 2009 .
