I'll be using shapeaways I think. It's an online service who offer a range of materials but generally you'll get better results than you would from most home FDM printers. Still not worked out which material I need to use but it's going to be cheaper than buying a printer, though slower and harder to iterate.

I've been doing this for my build too. I think that the next leap in blaster builds will come from 3D printing some of the parts and will be especially helpful on pipe builds. I found the cube the trickiest part so far, trying to get the chamfering right. I've not attempted the cylinders yet, I might just use yours as they look pretty good. That said learning to model is proving quite fun. So far I have the sight block, sight pin and the cube. Might have to try wings 3D too, looks a bit more advanced than 123D Design. Good work.

Looks like they are closed for the year now. They did send an email but that wouldn't help people not on the list. Basically they want a holiday break like everyone else and so are clearing the books before the holidays and will open again in Jan.

That's pretty much the thought process I had. The grey for the ab buttons is probably a close enough match too. Not sure if I'll make or buy a new belt yet. Will see how hard it is to get the fabric I need I guess.

Forgot to say mine came last week, though I had to pay! Very happy with the boots, fit well (ordered up 1 size as suggested) and the inner soles are good and seem like they should be good for a troop. I do have 1 tiny issue which is the left inner sole isn't 100% perfectly aligned so sticks up a shade at the back but I've had this with other shoes before. Certainly not worth returning over, I'll just take a knife to it to trim the offending foam. I took some pictures which I'll post once I get round to it.

Those look great, those counters look fantastic unpainted like that. Would love to know the source for them if you could share?

Good luck, I'm just starting my build so I know how daunting all those other threads are!

Just ordered some more glue using the link mcott65 gave me. Not heard back from the other seller yet but will give them the weekend to respond.

thanks I'll get a tube ordered. Money back or no I can't see me using the last tube.

I've contacted the eBay seller as a "concerned" buyer. I didn't use the words fake or counterfeit but I hinted at this. Will see what they say. If I'm not happy it's a PayPal dispute. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The colour on mine seems more brown than the one you posted but that could be lighting (but doubt it). I am now reasonably sure this isn't a legit product so will bring it up with the seller. I did ask a UKG member where to get it and basically eBay is it. As far as I know there is no official uk source but I think I'll do some more research on this. Just glad I only got 1 tube now in case I can't get my money back. Edit: just went back to the listing and the picture looks completed different and more like the one you showed. Should hopefully give me some ammunition to get this resolved.

According to the September email: Though the October one is due any minute now and may change the state of that.

Other than cancer, what should I expect from a sniff test? Also is there a shelf life once opened? I can do a glue test if needed also.

Anyone? If it's no good I'd like to be able to get my money back. If it helps there was no card which was also a bit of a red flag.

The E6000 came today, does this look legit? Some of the printing isn't such great quality. This is as it came out of the envelope. -----------------

You can hurt someone quite badly with a blunt instrument, but a touch extreme to confiscate them. However, the gun thing I am 100% behind. I'm not going to tell the USA what to do, though you'll guess my stance I am sure, but the UK has strict gun control and even a toy gun can land you in serious trouble if it isn't obviously one. If you took a BB gun to a con here I'd not be overly polite about it, there's no need for it.

I ordered on Oct 12th, thy shipped on Oct 20th and are currently showing as "Pre advised" on the tracking. Not sure what that means but I'd guess they are still on a boat from China to Europe. On arrival I will try to do a bit of a review.

I'm in the UK and everything is privately imported. I am sourcing from eBay and Amazon where most the 110ml (3.7oz?) is out of stock for some reason including the on I had planned on using. This seller says they are uk based and their shipping times tie up just their portfolio of items smells of China. Once I get it I'll test it. Is there a simple check I can do? I have some black ABS sheet I can use.

perfect, 2 tubes is roughy what's needed isn't it?

Okay, own up. Who's bought all the E6000? Must admit of all the things I figured would be hard to get the E6000 wasn't on the list. So for 0 for 6 on eBay listings for the 110ml size. Follow up edit: There's some that's clearly a china but locally based type operation, should I worry about "fake" or otherwise bad glues?

I'll give that a watch. I probably should mention I want "light" weathering. Don't think hard used battle worn ala Sand Troopers more death star freshly issued but with those inevitable nicks these things pick up and hint at what it's made of (or not made of in this case)

I've got my DD kit and assorted tart up kits on order and so have been thinking about the painting stage of the build. Would a product like rub and buff work for weathering vs the silver/black layers of paint and sandpaper approach. I feel this method would give better chance to fix any screw ups at the weathering stage. Though it make be a shade harder to weather the right parts. If so what colours would you go for a silver or more of a pewter which I think would be more in keeping.

The more I see the happier I am feeling. At the moment my biggest concerns are if the under garments will fit me at all! I have ordered based on their chart but my measurements were all over the place so had to make a bit of a guess. The neck seal is the biggest concern for me, I'm a 17" neck which really doesn't match the rest of me. These are obviously quite simple to fix though. As for the velcro, it looks to be okay and would probably be good enough for most purchasers (I am guessing more than 50% will not be going for 501st). As for me, I ordered at the $450 tier so will wait and see what the early recipients find once it's in peoples hands. I'm not adverse to velcro, snaps or even "authentic" fixings but if I can save my self an evening or two making snap plates then that works for me.

Just to add to what others have said. I emailed a while ago and got no response. I have now sent a message using the form on their new website and got a prompt response. I'll be ordering a pair of boots once orders reopen in October with out concern, well other than if my weird feet will fit the boots but that's my issue not theirs.
