TK VOICE APP
themaninthesuitcase replied to Finchydavinci's topic in Electronics for Helmets / Blasters
The iPhone is rather picky about things. 9/10 problems were the splitter used. The other 1/10 was the connection on the mic needed an adapter. Have you had a look at: http://www.cpearson.me.uk/tkvoice/hardware/ A picture will speak a 1000 words too, so a photo of the set up with all the parts will help me diagnose issues faster. -
Anovos dicount code
themaninthesuitcase replied to marian_melinte01's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
They don't do discount codes like they used to. They only offer sale periods now for things like black friday or "con specials". -
The EIB and centurion logos are available in the staff area so that won't be a problem. My only hesitation is that Tim has already said that something was in the works and I'd hate to see a waste of effort due to duplication. Edit: oops there was a 2nd page. Is the script on the server, which is why it requires a login? Is there a way to automate more or at least be able to run it on a personal system?

I'm sure most of you has seen the image below. These Billgrams have become a bedrock on which many TKs have been built. However this image, and 1 very similar, has a colour on it no longer deemed correct. Rather than carrying on explaining it I've made a new diagram, sorry no catchy name this time, with just the correct colours. The images show the Humbrol colours, but the Testors equivalents are shown too if that's easier to source. All this was built upon Billhags work, so it would be wrong for me not to thank him for it. He's also my GML so he has had a hand in me getting this far in more than just billgrams. I already owe him a pint, so Bill if you see this and the opportunity presents it's self, make that 2.

Chapaaz's RWA-ANH Stunt WIP

Looking good! -
Is the 501st requirements fair?
themaninthesuitcase replied to GandalfTheImperial's topic in Off Topic
Okay heres the wording: "Based on a real or replica Sterling sub-machine gun, scratch-built, or a modified commercial toy Stormtrooper blaster." Maybe it would be better written as: Based on a real or replica Sterling sub-machine gun scratch-built a modified commercial toy Stormtrooper blaster So it can be based on a real fire arm or replica. OR be scratch built. OR be a toy. Also bare in mind a replica might be a rubber or resin casting, like the large portion of trooper use. Does this clear up the issue? -

themaninthesuitcase replied to GandalfTheImperial's topic in Off Topic
As Joseph says you don't need a blaster to clear in 99% of the Legion. As for "based on" most troopers use plastic toys painted black bought at a local toy shop, or resin/rubber copies. Scratch build is completely fine and many do. 3D printing is also an option, not sure if there's any free files about but you can certainly buy a kit on eBay or etsy. The wording is geared so you end up with something that looks like the original, which was a Sterling submachine gun with a sawn of magazine, some rubber trim, a tank scope and a bit of a WWII radio set. FWIW I think most DLT-19s and all T-21s are scratch builds, not many people casting up a lewis! -
Bloody hell mate that hand file work looks machined. Going to have to have a look at these at a troop once you're done!

Chapaaz's Doopydoos E11 build
themaninthesuitcase replied to Chapaaz's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
I did they will be hidden so it's sort of up to you and how close you want to get to a real one. -
Anovos Death Trooper Armor
themaninthesuitcase replied to TK-16845's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
Wouldn't surprise me if LFL or Disney have had a word about how they handle new product launches. -
Anyone deal with Doopydoos lately?
themaninthesuitcase replied to Rotcorp's topic in General Weapons Discussion
Sheartech do one I think. Also based off a real sterling, whilst I can't speak to quality as I've never seen one the guy who runs it is a nice guy. You'll be able to find them on facebook. -
BSP shoretrooper projects
themaninthesuitcase replied to Nobita's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
This is the best fan made armour I've seen and probably on par with the pro stuff. I just hope to be able to own some one day (insert grumbles about the strength of the pound at the moment) -
That's the badger.

Adafruit do a simple board that will do that called the Audio FX board. They used to do one with built in amp too but looks like they killed that one It comes in a 2MB or 1MB built in storage and uses specially named files to work so is very simple.

Suitcase Props 3D Printed E-11 parts

For an S&T of recommend you speak to Mark, the ones I have done will probably look too small. -
Suitcase Props 3D Printed E-11 parts
themaninthesuitcase replied to themaninthesuitcase's topic in ANH BlasTech E11
Mark (who as far as I am aware discovered this) and I actually were working on the sizes together before I released mine. All my dimensions are based on a Doopy Doo and the photos from Celebration. Mark now has a S&T based E-11 he's making and the dimensions are noticably larger in a few key dimensions so mine are actually undersized compared to the film ones but still "about right" for a sterling based E-11. At some point I might ask Mark to send me some dimensions and do an accurate one but at this time if people want 100% I'm sending them to him. If anyone wants the link then https://www.facebook.com/sheartech/?fref=ts I held the 1st cast out of the mold and it look pretty decent, certainly as good as a DD. -
Very tidy! I just used a bit of brass wire, seems to have done the job but time will tell.

Looking good Andy, going to have to keep an eye on this one!
