Double check the cling film won't pull up the ink first! Try find a similar white shiny ABS scrap and write on it in blue sharpie Give it time to dry and then wrap it and leave it for a couple of weeks (ie much worse than what will actually happen).

Whilst recasting is "A Bad Thing"™ there's also a lot of grey area. If you are literally going to pour some latex into a plastic guard you already have? I see no issue personally. It's for you and you're not selling it or making them for others. Even if you do that for you and and gave a pair to 1 friend, probably not the end of the world but at that point your well on your way to recasting in a way that would be a problem. I know some people see recasting as a black/white issue but I see it as a much more complex issue in general, and generally look at it pragmatically.

That should be done now.

Seems they work over http but not https, and the links to them are all the later. Looks like its a certificate issue at the server (tapatalks, not ours). edit: a quick google of some of the cert details seems to show that it's indeed a certificate issue with tapatalk meaning they cannot serve the images securely at the moment.

If it was me I'd drill out the hole in the selector and then either drill for a small grub screw or use a "squish" method to get a very snug fit on the post with out using glue.

Bear in mind that anything featuring any logo from any 501st unit will need to be cleared as a merchandising item by the appropriate unit commander. Eg if it has a dune sea logo on it it will need to be okayed by the dune sea CO. Failure to comply with this is not wise. However there’s nothing stopping you adding e siting Merch items, such as patches, to other clothing items.

What your proposing is also known as recasting. In general this is frowned upon, though if it's genuinely for personal use then it's not really that big a deal. Trouble is that 1-2 kits for you often becomes more for your friends and so on. As Glen has said vacuum forming also quite a costly endeavour but something many have done before so with some reading around you can get a lot of help. Though there is an amount of art to it.

The rear should use an "inner" drop box, not a flat piece. The CRLs are a living document so change occasionally, where that image is now 6 years old!

For what it's worth I can't think of a single kit that comes with a blaster. Have a look through the blaster section but it's hard to recommend much as I don't know what Singaores replica weapons laws are like. Your best bet would be to get in contact with your local garrison who will know who's best for your needs. http://www.501st.com/members/displayUnits.php#garrisons

Love the stand, would love access to a cutter like that. The DD mag is about the only part that's complete junk IMO. Shame the gazmosis is NLA, but with a cutter and the plans you should be able to come up with something!

That looks much more like it, but I'd still check with my GML.

I suspect they would be if you filled the holes at the front, best bet it to ask your GML. But even if they are clearable they're not brilliant. However being as your German you should be able to do much better, lots of people use eBay Germany now to find approvable boots! There's also a couple of people making reproduction boots but they're not cheap.

Most armour makers would be able to supply you with one. The colour match won’t be perfect but so long as you get ABS not capped you should be close enough.

Having enough disk space for the amount of images we post would cost a small fortune.

Hi William, welcome to the FISD. Best bet really is to start by having a read. I'd suggest starting here Then as you're tall try this one Once you've had a read of those if you have any further more specific questions then feel free to ask them. FWIW I have an Anovos kit and I wouldn't be looking to use them for a 2nd.

You're probably right, I suspect that they've burnt the people who would have kept them going had this been plan A.

Just saw this from clicking through on what I didn't realise was a photobucket image: https://support.photobucket.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004314254-Welcome-to-the-New-Photobucket- Seems they have new management with a more realistic plan in place. Hopefully this is a good thing but they've lost a lot of trust now.

Welcome to the FISD! Is EIB in your future?

Yeah, the blue is a protective film.

TM uses a reasonably white ABS. He sent me a sample ESB hand guard set to compare to my Anovos armour and share the results with others. The Anovos is reasonably off white, where as the TM is more clean white. I don’t have any CFO to compare to sadly. Hope this is useful.

I was hoping for a Celebration Europe this year, never mind. Have fun in Chicago everyone who attends.

Your best bet is to speak to TM. He will know his armour better than anyone.

If you can get some black non leather Chelsea boots you can for the old fashioned (and more accurate) route and paint them. I have no idea if this is something that exists but it would be what I’d do.

They are manufactured in China.
