It came out today in the Facebook group that they only have 1 staff member working part time to deal with the refunds, and there’s a backlog. How true this I don’t know but sounds plausible.

501st affiliation on detachment
themaninthesuitcase replied to TK-Sonic's topic in Forum Help & Support
The affiliation is updated before the elections each year. -
If you're wanting a Rogue One kit there's only 1 seller right now. If you're going to convert it's a lot of work to do and I don't think this would be a very good start point.

PROMO TROOPER REFERENCE?
themaninthesuitcase replied to gwood1234's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
Here's 2 links for high res versions (may just be scaled up) I found via google image search. ---------- http://www.skullgarrison.com/foro/index.php?attachments/tk-highrez-jpg.307/ -
PROMO TROOPER REFERENCE?
themaninthesuitcase replied to gwood1234's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
Do you have a low res version? If so you can use that to do a similar image search on google. Go to google, select images in the top right. Click the camera in the search box and then either upload or use a link to the image you have and it should find anything visually similar. I've used it to great effect to find the original versions of a number of images. -
"US Distributor of TK UK Armor" There's been a lot of controversy over TK UK armour, a search will find it. Personally I'd want something more accurate.

Traps and Tears Painting Lines
themaninthesuitcase replied to REAPERofDAISYS's topic in Assembly, Mods, and Painting
I just looked at screen captures and screen used helmets and copied one. I ended up with 12 on the traps and 7 the tears. -

Gareth check out this post: There's a chrome version too. Once you get them loading try go to the photobucket site and download them in as high quality as you can. I've been archiving off as much as I can recently. -
You need at least 5 posts to post in the for sale section, looks like you currently have 2. Start an introduction thread say hello and soon enough you’ll be able to post in there.

DA is also known as BFA so that may help. For what it’s worth whilst DA isn’t the most popular it on the market (it’s quite popular with a lot of non 501st groups) it’s certainly more than good enough for all the way to Centurion. As for a build guide it’s the same as all modern kits, no special gotchas I’m aware of but I’ve not built one personally.

CableGuy's DoopyDoos (feat. T-Jay kit) ANH E-11 WIP
themaninthesuitcase replied to CableGuy's topic in ANH BlasTech E11
Aluminium doesn’t like to bend tight angles. I cheated by cutting a groove in the “elbow” of the bend with a hack saw. The wider the grove the sharper the angle you can do. If I recall a grove half way through about 1.5-2mm wide will be enough for a 90° bend, but have a look on my WIP as I am sure I documented it there. -
Fit is looking really good. Only thing I'd say is you may need to look into foam padding to stop the sniper catching on the thigh. A block in the front of the shin, thigh behind the knee, or both should stop that. I did both on both sides for balance. Only another evening or so and you should be done!

CableGuy's DoopyDoos (feat. T-Jay kit) ANH E-11 WIP
themaninthesuitcase replied to CableGuy's topic in ANH BlasTech E11
If you need time to adjust and line up for final fitting then 5 minute epoxy also works great. Think I used loktites one but any branded one will be fine. -
I was told satin (#85) for the vocoder and line details on the helmet. This is what I have on my paint guide diagram. Though I am sure troopermaster will know for sure what the originals used for the black parts.

CableGuy's DoopyDoos (feat. T-Jay kit) ANH E-11 WIP
themaninthesuitcase replied to CableGuy's topic in ANH BlasTech E11
Rob pretty much covered it but the tl;dr is as lights and sounds weren't seen on screen they will not be allowed on a troop. They can be fitted but must be switched off when on a UKG troop. Clear/see through scopes are fine though. I'm trying to get the policy in the public sections as I wasn't aware it was the policy until last night so I am sure theres a lot who don't know. -

Hi dan not sure what your plans are for this but this thread is worth reading over at the UKG if you've not seen it regarding the policy on lights and sounds. Must admit I wasn't aware of it until today, so I'm trying to bring it to new troopers attention. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_fid=30911&share_tid=66997&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eukgarrison%2Eco%2Euk%2Fforum%2Fviewtopic%2Ephp%3Ft%3D66997&share_type=t
