  1. Nice work on the Catalog! Very professionally done.
  2. I personally take the microphone and tuck it inside the balaclava. I have seen others where they use tape to tape it on their face, or on the inside of the bucket.
  3. Rolling right along. Good Work so far!
  4. Congratulations on your BBB Craig. Your spacing looks perfect, but yes.. please flip that around before applying. Making me nervous
  5. Hopeful or not, this is a service I will not be returning to. I agree with Sarah on this one! There are plenty of different and more reliable services out there that can be used. My List: Imgur Facebook Google-create your own folders on "Google Drive." Flickr Dropbox TinyPic
  6. Going to follow this one. Good Luck Mike. This should be a fun one.
  7. Excellent work on the snap webbings! You are well on your way. How you place your snaps is entirely up to you, but like many, I glued the webbing directly onto my armor. E6000
  8. Can't see them! But your paint job is perfect!
  9. Dan & Brien are correct in saying return edges are not needed for approval. But, it definitely helps in making your armor give the illusion of thickness, and might protect you against some blaster fire. Post up some photos for us. We are more useful when we see photos.
  10. I concur with my friend Frank. Correct on your markings. Remember, be conservative with your cutting. You can always cut more if you need to, but can never trim less
  11. Nice Cricket. Looking forward to it. I also wanted to say how amazing this build thread is. Maybe it will inspire my fiance' to get herself in some white armor
  12. Kepp up the great work Lindsey. The attaches here are giving you great advice. You are moving right along. We will see you approved in no time!
  13. Great work on your paint job trooper!
  14. Why do I get so envious!? Oh.. because its shiny and new armor. I am happy for you! Next STOP.. EIB!
  15. Well, Did you break it open yet?
  16. Hello Eden, I see you are searching for Shadow Armor. We are shiny and White. Not Black and Mysterious lol. The Shadowtrooper is for the SpecOps detachment. You may want to head over there to see if they recommend any armor for ShadowTroopers: http://www.501stspecopsdet.net/ However, I know Anovos sells kits. But, you may be waiting a long, long time. Good Luck! hope you find that armor.
  17. Truly amazing work. I love the family photo of Mini-Kylo leading the charge. You should be proud. Well done.
  18. Gotta go at least once ~!
  19. Hi Keith, Looks like you have been waiting for a while for an answer to your question. I am not an expert on any of these kits. But. I know it can be hard to be sure the shade of white matches. Usually, each kit is slightly different with their shade of white. Some match closer to others. You can always do what I did, and once you find replacement armor, find spray paint to match the rest of your armor. It may not be the best solution, but it worked well for me! I would reach out to your local Attache @shashachu . She will offer some sound advice for you
  20. Excellent work on the armor and Neck Seal James. You are well on your way! Maybe I missed it. But do you have a name for your Mini Stormtrooper ?
  21. Very unfortunate to hear. I will be hoping for the best for troopers waiting to become a FOTK.
  22. This is going to be impressive to watch. I gotta get my feet wet with some Phasma and FO builds. Good Luck on the rest of your build Mau!
  23. Looks great! It is obvious a lot of time and effort was spent on this kit. Only things that I may see them asking is for more detailed photos of: 1. Rear of your blaster to see the D-Ring attached to the blaster That is all I can see that they may request. Good Luck trooper!
  24. Jim, I feel your frustration. Oh it sucks. believe me. First. Take a breath. Yeah, I am sure you have heard that plenty of times. But It is always needed. We are here to help. We will help the best we can. So, my Story. I bought an AP kit as well. I am 5'11'' and 210ish. Chunkish. Musclerish. lol So AP was NOT the right armor for my body type. I was excited and eager, and AP was the first to get back to me. So as an Eager recruit, I pulled the trigger. Over time, I purchased armor from RT-Mod. Armor made for my body type. Larger. Taller. Bigger. I recommend reaching out to RT-Mod. The spare parts are a VERY similar shade of white, if not exact same shade. If you get parts from RT-Mod and trim it yourself to your own body type to ensure it sits nicely, I always recommend new builders to start cutting it yourself with the help of local garrison mates. I noticed you are part of NER. Neighboring my garrison (Pennsylvania) Garrison Carida. I would start posting on your local forums (if you haven't done so already). See if anyone will be hosting an armor party for you to bring your kit to. If you are not getting much luck from NER, I am willing to set up a time to meet in person. If you do not wish to get spare parts, it is possible to salvage what you have and make corrections, but it is difficult for me to recommend changes without seeing it first hand. But you could shorten up the strapping from your Ab to the chest to make it overlap the ab plate. Can you provide photos of your strapping system? That would be helpful. Do not lose hope. Many of us will be providing some insight for you.
