TK_LEPER

Poor square-panted bastard!

REALLY!!? I have the MR one too.

Some photos of my lid in progress. I went back and coated the inside with paste (to make it thicker) too. It did shrivel up some of the thinner areas though. So now I'm sanding and repainting both inside and out. ----------

Schwing!!

Fresh!!! I would keep it messed up!

I was thinking the same.

Does that give it a shine at all?

I got the one on the bottom, and it's OK... But if I had the choice, I would get the top one. The materials are a lot nicer, and more authentic looking. Matter of fact... I might order one now. Damn those are nice!

I think the AP armor is more of a "off white" (warmer) compared to the TM armor, which is more of a "brilliant white" (colder). But it's very slight... it almost depends on the light your in, and how old your armor is. I've noticed how my AP lid is getting more yellow (in parts) over time. I'm actually considering painting it glossy white, due to the yellowing.

Looks friggin sweet though!

It's just for my TK display. Probably be in the holster anyway.

I just order one of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/Resin-PROP-E-11-ANH-ESB-Version-STORMTROOPER-Blaster_W0QQitemZ170447563446QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item27af776ab6#ht_1769wt_843

I guess they did shoot red lasers didn't they. But didn't their guns give off a blue-ish flash?

I've used car polish on my AP helmet before. Worked pretty well. This guy's Brother worked on his AP helmet, using some car polish (links below): ------------------- Jess

I haven't... But I've seen a few referrals here and there online. So they must have at least pleased those people.

Maybe look for some Sterling L2A3 SMG references instead? -----------

Dude, My AP Bible!

Drill press my friend... That and a good press clamp. Take your time, measure and mark your holes first. It will look great. "He will learn patience!" Jess

I used Plumber's Putty. It's not as brittle as FIMO. Actually it turns rock hard, and you can drill it, sand it, paint it. Cool stuff. You can get it at Home Depot, Lowes, etc.

That stuff sounds like plumbers putty. You can get it at any hardware store. Bondo is easiest to work with (sticks to high Hell), but it sands easy. I would use that, especially if you are going to paint it. Then the filler's color isn't an issue.

Seemed smaller to me. I had the EFX though.

This was the method I used:---------
