  1. No. the app can only be IOS as its written in swift.
  2. I am pretty sure there is a reasonably regular armour party in FL somewhere. Sign up with the Garrison and you might be able to get a bit more info on it. Worth doing that anyway. Most Garrison forums are fairly sparse untill you're an approved member and get full access.
  3. 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.
  4. They don't do discount codes like they used to. They only offer sale periods now for things like black friday or "con specials".
  5. That's Sean's one which is the one I have. I have a printrbot play which is only 4x4x5" so between the 54 pieces I've cut it into and a roughly 60% sucess rate it's taking a while.
  6. Guessinging from the list are you located in the UK? If so make sure you head over to the UK Garrison and sign up there. It's also worth considering a self build still, lots of help is available to those who ask and also it helps keep the costs down a bit. Chris.
  7. 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?
  8. Not sure how I missed this. Great comprehensive tutorial! Once I finally get my helmet printed I'll have to come back to these tutorials and follow them as best I can.
  9. 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.

  10. Well done steve, welcome to the club!
  11. 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?
  12. 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!
  13. 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!
  14. Seems I missed this, I saw you're post over at the UKG and it looks like you're in good hands. I will agree though that even with a full commision expect to make a few adjustments after your first few troops. Welcome to the UKG and FISD. Chris.
  15. 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.
  16. Wouldn't surprise me if LFL or Disney have had a word about how they handle new product launches.
  17. 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.
  18. 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)
  19. That's the badger.
  20. 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.
  21. For an S&T of recommend you speak to Mark, the ones I have done will probably look too small.
  22. 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.
  23. Very tidy! I just used a bit of brass wire, seems to have done the job but time will tell.
  24. Looking good Andy, going to have to keep an eye on this one!
