That totally depends on a lot of factors.
Is there anything being planned near you? Do they know about our services? Can you organize something?
Not everywhere is going to be doing an event but there should be some things planned. If you're able to travel then it just opens up even more opportunities.

I personally have a differing opinion...
The fact that the distance between the two ships remains equidistant is nullified by them traveling at twice the speed of light therefore not allowing the light from the rear ship time to reach the front ship...
This is based on the fact you cannot make something travel quicker than its own ultimate top speed unassisted...
But as you say until we can travel at such speeds we can never truly be sure ..
if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...
No that's true, you make an excellent point there. I might also argue that unless the areas in which you're travelling are not naturally lit, it would be fair to say there would be light endlessly throughout travel. Therefore, no light to outrun.
-
Theoretically, the answer is yes due to the theory of relativity. Even though the ship in the back is going twice the speed of light, so is the ship you are traveling in as well. Meaning, relative to you, the other ship is not moving at all. It would be similar to looking out to your driveway and seeing your car parked. It's not moving because YOU'RE not moving.
Thank you!
I was trying to explain theory of relativity but I just forgot what the term was! I was also too lazy to google it LOL.

Welcome fellow Canadian!
Where are you located?
Mark's kit is fantastic by the way! I have one myself and would buy it again in a heartbeat.
-
Until we can travel at twice the speed of light. This is unanswerable with actual logic, only speculation.
My speculation; yes.
Your view of the space around you would be blurred probably to the point of blackness, however, the second ship behind travelling at the same speed would be at an almost stand still, therefore visible. Sounds stupid the more I read this but that's what I think.
However, if I base my answer on fictional depictions of what that speed may look like. Then the answer is no.

I'll also add that I had absolutely NO experience with any form of crafting like this and I tackled my AP TK kit with relative ease. Finishing it in a short 5 weeks. It's much easier than you might think and also saves you a very pretty penny along with it actually FITTING you properly. I went untrimmed and would do untrimmed again in a heartbeat but you can go for trimmed to save you some effort. Honestly, the rest is easy beyond that point.
If you do your research, take your time and use the right tools you'll have no issues!

Modifying the AP helmet isn't very hard. You just need the lenses and the new ear pieces. Both of which you can order and it would be very hard to ruin it. I find the AP helmet looks more "hero" anyways with how the brow trim sits with no gap above the eyes.
As far as the frown goes, you just don't cut out the 4th holes.

Date I was married. 18th of August 2015. Plus I find it sounds cool!

As far as I know, yeah, the ears do need to be separate or appear separate.Thanks for your thoughts!
Iam very aware that it would be waaaaay cheaper just buying a bucket... I like to build things, and this was my first ever piece i built and redoing it is kind of what I really want to do
Do the ears NEED to be seperate? I planned to put them on permanently and cut off some screw heads to put them in the ears to achieve the 'screwed on' look...
I'm sure someone will chime in to correct me if I'm wrong but a fellow trooper has a very nice resin helmet that is not approvable because it's a one piece mold. Makes a wicked display piece though.
But my goodness don't stop doing this! I just wanted to throw out there that if you're planning on going 501st; you'll want a TK kit from AP or RSProps or others. You'll get a helmet from those kits and it will be much less work to get it 501st. It will be plastic as well and you'll have less of a chance to drop it and crack the bondo or worse.
Again! Don't stop! I love watching pep files grow into awesome looking pieces. I wish I had the talent to do it. I've tried, and failed miserably.

I'll be pretty honest, you get helmets with almost every TK armour kits. The work you'd have to do to get it approved; you're probably better off getting a helmet with a kit and leaving this as a project.Thanks for the answer.
I will do it as accurately as I can. My goal is to get it 501st approved, but that's a loooong way
The ears would need to be separate pieces, preferably with small gaps. Etc.
Just my two cents. There's nothing stopping you from trying though! Pep is a difficult thing to do properly! I admire that you've even got this far with it!
-
Very cool. Is this just a project for fun, or do you plan on making it a display piece?
-
Polishing is totally personal preference.
A lot of people frown upon it because you will look "too new", whereas in the films the suits were quite beat up.
But it's your choice. Honestly, I haven't polished my AP kit and it still looks pretty darn shiny but if it's protection you seek then a coat of it certainly can't hurt.
I can't speak for which polish to use, although most swear by "Troop Goop". If you plan to make sure you research the type of polish that won't harm the ABS. All polishes "scratch" the armour, it's like wet sanding (sort of).

First build and first issue popping up. I started trimming before reading through ukswrath's excellent build thread:<br><br>
<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/35086-ukswraths-anovos-tk-build/?p=459804'>http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/35086-ukswraths-anovos-tk-build/?p=459804</a><br><br>
I ended up cutting the large ab button plate at the edge of the raised area vs. the edge of the plate. <br><br><br>
For 501st approval would it be acceptable to adhere to the armor as pictured? Other options would be to re-glue it to the trimmed excess via CA glue, possibly fill w/ abs paste, sand and polish to try again, or try to find a replacement.<br><br><br>
Any suggestions? Also curious why the buttons would be separate parts and not included in the ab plate detailing when pulled.
Easiest way to fix this is to order a new button plate. There should be a border around the plate.
You can try glueing the plate to another piece of ABS to "emulate" the border but it may not turn out great.
The reason they're two pieces is because Sand Troopers don't have it on, to give the option to go Sand or regular TK.

I've been waiting for this photoshoot!
Looks amazing Dan!! Congrats on the build and approval!

Im not sure where to post but i need a quote. Im trying to join 501st and i want
can anyone help me ???Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk
Also, take your time and do your research. You won't get a straight up "quote". But with time and some digging you will compile your list of parts and that will be your rough estimate.
Good luck with the build!
-
Something doesn't look right with the chest plate. It looks too large?
Also, your butt plate is overlapping your thighs at the sides; it shouldn't do that might need some trimming.
Also, I'd spend some TLC on the tops of those thighs. They're pretty flat on the top and should be more round.
Other than that it looks great! Weathering is very well done!
-
I'd honestly rather have no burst than to try and emulate it with my voice lol.

Check the quality and style of your microphone as well. You'll likely want to use an omnidirectional mic or a throat mic instead. A lot of microphones will just pick up anything in earshot and, of course, give your feedback.
-
Even during mild days you may find your lenses fogging up. The fans purpose isn't only for keeping your head cool, but keeping your lenses cleared up. Trust me, I live on the East Coast of Canada and anywehere inside, with my bucket on, I need fans to see.

Fantastic guys!
I would LOVE to take part in something like this.
Bravo to all involved!
-
Questions are what everyone is here for!
When you get your big brown box be sure to set up a build thread where you can direct these questions to! Good luck and welcome to the FISD!

Where can I find this 'Trooper Chatter' sound effect? I have been looking for over two years.
The official "TK Chatter" is only for approved 501st members. Although you probably could find some loops somewhere.
-
One comes with the Icomm. At least when I bought mine it did. Tried it. Didn't like it. The Mic does fine without it.
Did you order the amp with the iComm or just the iComm system? If it comes with one great!
My issue with voice activation is one that was brought to my attention by a fellow trooper, and also something I've thought about myself. I don't want EVERYTHING I say broadcasted over my amp if that makes sense? Of course I can and will deal with it if need be I just wouldn't want to get caught by bystanders talking about my strap that just came loose and needs to be fixed. Lol. Nothing will take away from character more than that haha.
I've also heard that the voice activation can be quite sensitive too and random static clicks/bursts will play from accidental activation. How do you find it?
It's probably not a big deal anyways, maybe I'm just overreacting lol. I do only have one troop in since my approval last weekend.

$1800 is pretty standard for a fully completed kit.
It's definitely cheaper to get an untrimmed kit.
