Great work on the boots!

I can help with a couple...<br><br> I have Echo's fans and they are awesome. Two is enough and the bracket he makes places them close to the mic tips. His PM response can be a bit sporadic, but awesome product and reliable service, cannot recommend highly enough.<br><br> IComm - I wish I had one. It CAN wait, but I find myself having to repeat myself to kids a bit. If your budget allows for it, then definately get one. The other thing I would highly recommend and wish I had is a hearing assist system. Ukswrath makes one which from all reports is excellent, but I think there are a couple of others available as well.<br><br> Paint is most definately not my thing.<br><br> Hope this helps!<br><br> Edit: by '2 fans' I mean ONE of Echos sets, which comes with two fans.

If you're in Perth, make sure you check in with gmrhodes, he can probably supply you a lot of the parts you will need.

Great job troopers!

Hi David,<br> This thread may help. <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/12478-howto-easily-make-your-fx-armor-eib-acceptable/'>http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/12478-howto-easily-make-your-fx-armor-eib-acceptable/</a>

Good work! I have ATA as well and am very happy with it. Use the wait time to save and gather together your soft parts. Where in Australia are you?

Congratulations!

Anything yet mate?

Looks great Jay!

Thanks for the feedback guys, and thanks again for all your help Q.

Hi all, with a LOT of help from gmrhodes, I am attempting to convert my ATA bucket into a hero. First (and most nerve-wracking) step was to push the extra teeth indents out. I firstly taped a triangle piece of scrap ABS to the front of the helmet. Next, I heated a knife on the iron and pushing that against the indents. (I ended by using the iron directly very, very gently) I have pictures of the above steps if anyone is interested, but I took my time and went very slowly, and was pretty happy with the end result. There are a couple of very small imperfections, but I think after painting the teeth they won't be noticeable. Next I have been following pandatroopers ATA bucket tutorial, have trimmed off excess and rough cut eyes. Started on teeth and this is where I would like some advice please. From looking at the photos I think I probably need to take some more off, also, should the holes taper up with the angle of the frown, or should they stay square. Any advice greatly appreciated! Thanks, Scott

I have the same question, is there a reason you shouldn't paint the interior before cutting teeth and eyes?

Congratulations!

Great job Jay! The only thing I noticed, which may not even matter, is the cover strip on your left thigh should stop at the ridge, it looks like yours may run over the ridge (I really only noticed it because I did the same thing!)<br> Good luck!

Best to email the vendors on the vetted sellers list for pricing. if you want to get an idea of what a particular sellers kit looks like, check out the build threads and EIB/Centurion applications.

Im looking too.---------------- Actually, I'm pretty sure I found the link to it from FISD somewhere, does anyone have any feedback on them?<br> Edit, can't get the link to work now, but the seller is called vaderpainterstudios.

Welcome to FISD!

Congratulations Rui!

^^ What Joseph said times 10.

Ok, shoulder bells shouldn't be too hard a fix by shortening the straps a little bit. Possibly rotate them inwards a touch for your next lot of photos as well?<br> Not sure what he means by side gaps? Your kidney plate seems to flare out a bit at the sides, maybe try shortening the elastic there as well, or possibly gently heat bend it a touch? Or trim the kidney plate slightly?<br> Which rivets is he referring to? He should only be looking for basic approval, the ab/kidney rivets are Centurion, I would ask for clarification on that like you have.<br> Don't get down mate, they should be a couple of pretty easy fixes, and if they are looking that hard then you've done a really good job! Well done, not long now!

Any feedback from your GML?

Congratulations Rui!

Busy year, well done!
