  1. Yep, the FX armor has short biceps, a high cut butt plate, and the thigh contour is off especially in the back. Someday I'll have accurate armor (I hope).
  2. You know the fan attached to the commercial AC unit that is used to keep the computer room cool. A CPU fan right?
  3. There is a huge difference between the different suits of stormtrooper armor. Just compare the shoulder bells to see what I mean.
  4. I've also got a blue/green tinted AP helmet and FX armor. Look close in ANH, the helmets didn't always color match anyway.
  5. Yep, the left is bigger. You'll have to cut an upside down V wedge to get the left and right to match. The left thigh is much larger around the bottom. A tailor's tape measure is great when matching them up.
  6. Ok, one quick question. Since you had to trim down the thighs, why not glue them in back instead of velcro? Other than that looks like your of on the right foot.
  7. Here is the difference between the two. The TE is a hair more accurate, and has to be painted. The AP comes in ABS so there is no need to paint it, and ABS glues better. Both are excellent kits, and your really splitting hairs between the two.
  8. The ABS cement takes 24 hours to cure. I used Devcon plastic weld and it cures in 15 minutes. I love the plastic weld stuff, just make sure you keep it clamped the whole 15 minutes. It's a great feeling when that big box of white goodness shows up at your doorstep.
  9. This is a great place to start studying up on TK armor. ------------
  10. Yes you have to use primer first. Be sure to lightly sand the surface before you prime. Then you can use either Krylon Fusion, or Krylon H2O. The H2O has a nicer finish to it, but I don't know how flexable it is.
  11. Paypal sent. Gotta support my detachment.
  12. WooHoo, Bernard is back and better than ever. Glad your back from your tour.
  13. There is going ot be a second run. Keep an eye on the 501st only section, and there is a thread about it on the legion forums.
  14. John, Your inbox is full. I've been trying to PM you back and your 501st profile email bounces back as well.
  15. I have problems believing that one. Anyone ever see a stormtrooper get up after being shot .
  16. It's good to be back. I missed you guys .

    The 305

    Thats just wrong.
  18. Paul, Take care of the new family . Don't be a stranger around here just because your not the head honcho .
  19. Try a search . There are 2 old threads that talk about them and have pictures.
  20. Agreed, it's been nice to stay logged in. Thanks gang.
  21. You seek Keith on the RPF, or Stomper if he does another run.
  22. Thats awsome. It'll be a great help the the new guys as it has many of the tips and tricks that work all in one spot. Keep up the good work.
  23. Helmet aside I'd like to see: 1: The biceps extended by a couple inches to make them more accurate. 2. The top contour of the rear thighs to come higher. There is way too much black showing. 3. Rework the chestplate so the pecs smaller and higher. 4. Make the cog on the backplate look more defined.
  24. Good luck, don't forget to write.
