I'm afraid if you want to sell these it will need to be posted in the sales area and meet the rules there, currently you do not. Please create this new thread and update this post to link there ASAP. Thanks.

PayPal: Wretched hive of scum and villainy?
themaninthesuitcase replied to wook1138's topic in Off Topic
There are alternatives but some are US only or require you have certain devices. Others mean you need to set up an account and pay a fee etc etc etc. Ultimately paypal is the only real option unless you are a business and in a position to set up to take credit/debit cards. -
thermal detonator co2 cannister
themaninthesuitcase replied to phil's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
Pretty sure its generally just some grey guttering down pipe, so 68mm which is 2.68". edit: @philas you appear to be in the UK just pop to B&Q/wickes etc and gray a length of the 68mm down pipe. It's about a fiver for 2.5m. -

themaninthesuitcase replied to Paine1031's topic in ESB BlasTech E11

Congrats Kris looking forward to seeing it.

I’m on my iPad so it may be a shade different on a real computer, but: top menu > account > my attachments from there you can delete any you want to.

ANOVOS (DENUO NOVO) FOTK Armor Delivery Possibility
themaninthesuitcase replied to JonnieBear's topic in TFA Stormtrooper
I suspect the 501st probably doesn't even cover 50% of orders. You can't always assume that we (the 501st or similar groups for other costumes) are the primary market for stuff like this. They are making a product for a market that doesn't want to have to muck about with Bondo and paint so they can look cool 2-3 times a year at costume parties/Halloween and conventions. -
Fair enough, that I did not know. I retract item 4

Red flag 1: ebay Red flag 2: multiples of multiple parts in at least 2 different whites screams recast. I also suspect the lighter colour parts are HIPS just from the colour. Problem the third: parts are already made using who knows what glue something 4: it’s trimmed, how well?

This is my Anovos forearm in an RWA bicep. IMO close enough for government work, especially in natural light. RWA ABS (flash) by Christopher Pearson, on Flickr RWA ABS (indoor shade) by Christopher Pearson, on Flickr TM is also pretty close (disclosure he sent me those hand guards purely to do the colour comparison, I still have them if you want more photos) Troopermaster ABS (direct sun) by Christopher Pearson, on Flickr Troopermaster ABS (Indoor shade light) by Christopher Pearson, on Flickr The TM is probably a touch closer, but you do need to remember the white will change for each batch and also how long your armour has been in the sun.

Backstage Props FOTK preorder
themaninthesuitcase replied to ShadyP's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
I saw them post about a week ago of some pictures of some rough blocks I assume were to be machined. https://www.facebook.com/BackStageProps/photos/a.1008718475923599/1974083752720395/?type=3&theater Seems to suggest they found a CNC to use? -
voice amp system
themaninthesuitcase replied to JFarwell's topic in Getting Started - Read this First!
John did a final run of 100 RomFx last year. I think there are still some left but I couldn’t tell you how many. -
Have you signed up over at the UK Garrison? http://ukgarrison.co.uk/forum Once you have an account post a Work In Progress (WIP) in the armoury section and the armoury team will guide you to a clearable costume. They are really good at what they do and have all build and seen loads of different builds so will know exactly what needs doing.

A Friend Can’t Create a New Account
themaninthesuitcase replied to TK-42134's topic in Forum Help & Support
It's not so much to we accept icloud as does iCloud accept us. I'm not on the web team so not privy to how the emails stuff is setup but if the email isn't just perfect, email providers may thing it's spam and so just not deliver them. -
Source for Snaps
themaninthesuitcase replied to OneStrangeCyka's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
I 100% recommend getting the special pliers for the snaps of you can. Makes doing a snap a 5 second job. -
Helmet to armor wiring connectors?
themaninthesuitcase replied to tsongololo's topic in Electronics for Helmets / Blasters
The only wire I run is for my head set but I wear that on my head, not attached to the helmet, with the wire running up the neck seal. I also have a fan system mounted inside the helmet but the battery is mounted inside the front between the mic tips. It's just a case of putting the helmet on, no wires to mess with. -
Could be RS but the forehead looks too smooth, might just be the lighting though.

Is this glue acceptable?

Where about's are you? We may be able to guide you a bit better if we know where in the world you are. -
A Friend Can’t Create a New Account
themaninthesuitcase replied to TK-42134's topic in Forum Help & Support
I take it he's not receiving the confirmation emails? For some reason emails are starting to get caught in spam filters. There's a couple of options: they can explicitly white list @whitearmor.net or pm me with the user name and email they used and I can go look in the back end. For what it's worth it's probably a good idea to white list whitearmor anyway. -
Is this glue acceptable?
themaninthesuitcase replied to Shinyarmour1's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
I can't recommend that for a first build. It will work, but if you get it it wrong at all you'll need to order new parts. It works by melting the plastic so when they dry out again they are literally fused into 1 single piece. It's incredibly strong, but also incredibly unforgiving. -
Must be a regional thing then.

Hero's Of The Empire is now out and available for viewing on Amazon. Just search on amazon, I can't find a global link that's not my affiliate and I don't want to be 'that guy'. Sadly it's not been included in the prime package so if you want to watch you'll either need to rent it or purchase it. Looks like these are the usual standard Amazon digital fees, so they will be what ever is normal in your country.

Alternative holster pattern.
themaninthesuitcase replied to troopermaster's topic in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories
I'm going to hazard a guess the odd shape one would fall under "mistakes, errors and breakages". Whilst they do exist the 501st trooper is a somewhat idealised average of all of them. Whilst there is no specific rule against it I believe GMLs should also pay heed to the images which shows the standard ANH holster shape. The promo trooper is covered by the hero CRL, one is cleared in the UKG for sure. http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_hero You would need the SR-14R for the SR-14R holster though. -
Boot protection?
themaninthesuitcase replied to rzill's topic in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories
Just leave them. Standard boots a a bit TOO white IMO. A bit of natural weathering tones them down a bit.
