  7. Pyrates AP Build and Journey to The 501st

    in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance

    Posted · Edited by spyder918

    I know - I love those racing shirts that Joseph just announced however today marked the end of my purchases till next year (with the exception of a few badges) when I have paid off what I owe.

     

    So my fans,audio, sound, DLT-19, and personalization TK stuff will have to wait which is fine by me - It's those smiles I'm most looking forward to.

     

    My son has requested a Star Wars birthday party this year so I'm going to try and get a few of the garrison mates involved to see if I can to really blow his mind. He keeps telling me that no one at his Daycare believes his Daddy is going to be a Stormtrooper - can't wait to see those faces either when I go to pick him up (sinister laugh)

     

    That's really the best feeling.  I don't have kids, but I went suited up in my old armor to pick up my best bud's son at his school and chaos ensued.  Literally one of the funnest times I've had wearing my armor, to see all the kids so excited.  

     

    I can't even imagine how you're going to feel with your own son!

    @ Mark

     

    These aren't perfect yet but I'm gently and VERY slowly working at them.. but I already have it gently seated down a little more flush..

    Making sure I don't taper too much as I want to ensure I maintain the strength. But I might end up re-inforcing the underside anyway. :)

     

    Hey Angie, what did you use to make it sit better?  A drill bit?

     

    Dang that black outline is perfect!

    hiya, I have read numerous threads that recommend putting a very small rounded edge at the end of the brow to help ensure that the pressure of the brow won't cause any issues and actually sits better. Those that I know are currently in their builds are also doing the small rounded hole.

     

    I haven't heard of any actual cracking issues but I'm not taking a chance. You can't even see it really. :)

     

    Ah ok very cool.  Good to know, thanks!

    Hugh if I had been able I would have gone a size up just so I could put a gell insole in .As it is that would make mine far to tight so if you are thinking of additional insole i would say go a size up.

     

    Thanks for the feedback Mark!  Are you saying the boots aren't very comfortable as is without a gel insole?

    Rubber floor mat from a liquidation store, and just be cautious if you're using my thread mate remember I'm a bigger guy and I'm still a green horn too and can make mistakes.

     

    Really useful threads that have helped me are on Page 7 of my thread. I highly recommend using Tony's ATA thread as it is more similar to our AP than the A..something. It's the same thread Sentry put up:

     

    ukswrath's AM 1.0, ATA bucket build

    http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/31920-ukswrath%27s-AM-1%2E0%2C-ATA-bucket-build

     

    Thanks for posting Tony's build thread!

    I've never seen this.  Tony is just a beast!  Definitely not human.
