Are you meaning the folding stock? If so its secured behind the grip with the e clips and I believe it's secured at the front with the metal pin supplies in the bag.

I found a few more pics that show the differences in assembly..... anything goes!

Congrats my friend.

Stelmax is essentially a liquid plastic. Once it sets it is plastic. As it has a solvent in it it also melts the surface it's in contact with and melts with its own structure to complete the bond.

I wonder what that is?

I'll get back to you on the other bits just busy today....

Looking good Bryan Nice clean edges. You have the JoeR helmet. The eyes and teeth can be cut out quite a bit.

So how many bed members have we got since Anovos released their TK? Lol

The score and snap works better on 2mm than thinner plastics. I use 2mm and that's what I've shown in the video. But hey, each to their own. I just showed how after 6 plus years of trimming armour how I have found the best cleanest quickest method that works for me. If power tools is your thing crack on. Everyman loves a power tool, I just don't think it's necessary for trimming armour. That's my point of view. You will all have your own favourite methods that work best for you.

If you have a photobucket account or similar hosting site you can upload pics to there and get a link to the pic and post that.

I can trim a whole suit in about 1.5 hours using a stanley knife blade. Score and snap. It's the cleanest fastest method to trim armour. I know I have far more experience than most. when I form on the large sheets I can roughly trim out 3-4 suits in about 2 hours using this method.

What a long winded way of trimming armour! Lol

Looks awesome! I agree on the shoulder bells but that's an easy fix. You've done a cracking job. Well done.

I think they recast a Rubies and cleaned it up, sharpened it and de-engineered it to look more ANH. I could be wrong.

ABS.........PVC........ABS If I was them I'd let the final product do the talking. They were blagging they were using a special recipe of PVC which was superior to anything used by "bootleggers" and now they are using the same as the "Bootleggers" lol. You can't reinvent the wheel. If it ain't broke don't fix it is what I say. ABS has worked 38 years why change it now.

If you can I would shorten the strap from the shoulder bell especially on your left. It will just pull it in a bit. I have never used snaps on the shoulder straps. You can put a single rivet through the shoulder strap at the front to secure the strap to the armour which is screen accurate.

I think it looks great. I had my doubts seeing the masking but it turned out well. The only thing I would personally do is fade the edges a little with either a fine sand paper or a scotch pad. Just so it doesn't look too masked and painted. Saying that I don't have any reference to compare to of the game in which case you may well have nailed it.

Shadow troopers came from the original newspaper comic strip before the films were made as far as I can remember.

Too be honest considering that Anovos are saying that they are a professional company and that they are not in the same league as us "Bootleggers" it surprises me that their tooling looks like it was made in a garage. For a company that is just about to produce thousands of suits of armour I am surprised they are not using aluminium bucks. they look no more professional than any makers tooling I have seen. In fact I'd say mine are neater..... Maybe these are only Prototype tooling? And as Mathias has pointed out the pulls are very soft..... Just sayin'.....

That looks softer than my ROTJ helmets! and that's saying something......

But it's full of stress and woe........

You're off to a good start.

I know have kits available and fully finished ROTJ E11 Blasters available. £150 shipped £250 shipped. Pm me for details.

If this is the truth then its outrageous.
