  3. Simple armor stand (PVC tubes)

    in ANH (Stunt and Hero)

    Posted · Edited by kurtramsey

    Do you think this works better than a regular store mannequin?

    Because it costs the same amount of money

    Sorry, no. You can probably find a used store mannequin for cheaper. I just didn't want to go looking for one, and wanted to try making this. (I also am a mechanical engineer, so building things is in my nature). The only thing you get out of this is maybe adjustable arms!

     

    I really just wanted to show people how it was easy to do and could be built in one day if you had to.

    Hello Troopers. I'm sure something like this has been done before, but I wanted to give it a shot and attempt it myself. I wanted to share with you my custom built PVC tube Stormtrooper armor stand, or mannequin. I built it in one day, and it cost about $100 from the hardware store. (Depending on if you have supplies and tools already).

     

    Here is the finished product:

    Here is what parts you start out with:

    Here are the tools you need:

    And here are the in process pics. No real explanation needed, it's pretty simple. Cut the longer tubes to fit your armor size, and some joints you glue, others you leave loose to move. (And REmove).

  5. Anovos belt, removing holster screws?

    in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories

    To be fair I did remove the screws so the patches were smaller.

     

    I cut the circles from behind this Velcro. I have been following UKSwath's Anovos build thread. :)

    Thanks Geektechlive. I will probably just give it a shot as I planned, (larger circles) and see if it makes a noticeable difference in my pictures to the 501st. I can always just get a better belt.

    Looking GREAT, sir! I noticed that your left thigh is over your sniper knee plate. I had the same issue, as a lot of people have. A quick fix for this is to use a section of foam about 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 6 inches and Velcro it in to the inside front part of your shin toward the top, which will help push it out a bit. Don't use glue, as you will want to be able to remove it for cleaning occasionally.

    Looks like you will have no problems meeting basic approval, but don't forget about the Advanced Tactics program.

    Definitely will do that foam Joseph. First thing I noticed when I first put it on. I'm pretty sure I'm going to redo some of my parts (thighs etc) because I can take some diameter out of them to fit better.

    Hey BuckeyeTK! I also live in Columbus and I just got my Anovos Armor last week! I'm through the the build all except my thigh plates. My fully built Bucket needs some custom modifications to fit better, but I'm happy with it all in general. I'm building the kit E-11 from the gentleman in Florida with the 3D printer. I have answers, if you have questions. Hope to see more of us TKs trooping this year.
