  6. Boots sizing Q

    in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories

    Posted

    <br>

    Howdy...so after discovering my cheap boots off Amazon will be no Bueno for TK approval, I'm looking at tkboots & imperial boots web sites. Any feedback on either, and also any comments on sizing? I'm a 10, so will that be good size to order, or has anyone found the actual sizing of these products to be off?<br><br>

  11. Aker wattage? 10w v 12w

    in Electronics for Helmets / Blasters

    Posted · Edited by Millar007

    Hi all - getting ready to buy my Aker &amp; icomm. Thoughts on the 10 watt vs 12 watt (or higher?). Is the 10w enough, or is bigger better?? Price difference is minimal, so that's not the issue. 12w does appear slightly physically larger, but twice the weight (0.41lb vs 0.92lb). Not sure if that is a huge deal or not. Thoughts/opinions/recommendations?<br><br><br>

  13. Back spacing...

    in Assembly, Mods, and Painting

    Posted

    Please excuse the lack of pics to try to better explain. As I'm putting my TK together, due to my short, stocky (but beautiful) body, without any shins I'm going to either have the back plate connected tight up by the shoulders, but this will create a good 2" gap between the back & kidney plate...or tighten up the kidney plate gap, but will leave more black and gap up by the shoulders. From a basic 501st acceptance/general aesthetics standpoint, which is preferable? Or should I just try to meet in the middle and have smaller gaps on top & bottom?

  19. Temp use of Velcro as attachments?

    in Hard Armor (General Discussion)

    Posted

    Hi all - any thoughts on using Velcro as a way of securing all key parts of armor in order to get 501st approval, and THEN working on more secure/rigorous snap connections? I'm keen get approved and everything, and also want to do a good job with my kit, so was thinking rather than rushing the attachments, use Velcro as a "very" temp measure in the meantime. Any input or messages of caution?

    Hey there - these look awesome. If at all possible, would you be able to perhaps add a title to each outlying which part of the armor you are working on in that video? I really thank that will help people navigate the massive amount of info you have there!

  21. How to remove hot glued on lenses - need help with fogging.

    in Assembly, Mods, and Painting

    Posted

    Hi all - my bucket has hot glued in lenses (I bought completed), and I've been advised to look to remove them, and re-attach with just spots of glue at the corners to allow space, which will help with air circulation and fogging. Any tips on how best to do this with out taking the whole thing apart - just slowly hack away with an exacto blade?

     

    I've got some Echo fans in the mail, so hopefully that will also help. Also just bought some "cat crap" (who came up with THAT name?!) that has been recommended also....

     

    Other Anti-Fogging tips? Especially for folks with sealed in lenses (in case I can't extricate)

  22. Looking for a build thread for a "wider" trooper

    This can be really frustrating. There are a heap of skinny trooper threads but threads for big troopers and shimming are rare.

     

    Look here:

    What helped me most is I went through the TK-Members and then I PMed a centurion with a bigger stature. Troopers helping troopers at its best.

    Thanks a lot for the links!!
