  1. Cool, thanks, that's exactly as i'd imagined the process. It's for the shock trooper. Need to re-do a couple of worn elastic straps at some point.Cheers
  2. Problem with doing that, is that 1. You will lose the reinforced 'lip' around the edge of the opening, and 2. The loose nature of the wrist section may crumple and cover parts of the forearm section of armour. Trial and error, though, you find what suits you when trooping
  3. Assuming you're using with a TK, the long chemical gloves tuck nicely into the forearm piece. Use cotton glove liners to help reduce the sweat build-up within the gloves.
  4. Nah, Kessel Run... That was totally a race, right?
  5. Might be worth taking a painted sheet of plywood for a plinth to stand on, just to make you look like an authentic mannequin
  6. Cheers guys. So how do you apply it? I'm assuming you put glue on both armour sections AND on the elastic and then on top of the elastic, too? Does the glue need to go tacky before mating surfaces together?
  7. Sorry to disappoint Make me one, if it makes you happy, though
  8. DLT-19 is on order Backpack... I don't think i'll be doing that tbh, especially now the shock trooper is playable in-game without it. I reckon shock troopers should be fast and manouverable (easier said than done )
  9. Got round to taking a couple of photos of the completed outfit:
  10. SDS kit can be made to look very nice indeed Excellent work
  11. Aah cool, thanks.
  12. Yep, velcro (industrial strength / heavy duty) works well. I find using the fuzzy side works best at adhering to the curves of a stormtrooper helmet. Let it adhere to surface for 24 hours to help the bond.
  13. This is amazing!<br> A couple of questions if you don't mind?<br> Is it a standard size helmet?<br> Are you using CA superglue for armour?
  14. This is gonna be ridiculously cute <br><br> Great job on the main armour so far!
  15. Their communication is virtually non-existent. Delivered with a signature required by courier. Yours may be different, as you are overseas?
  16. Both times i've ordered (UK to UK), total time was 3 weeks from ordering to delivery.
  17. Guns? As in the control of, or the workings of?
  18. Disney is selling Star Wars films aimed at 12 year olds, just as Lucas did. Any new iteration of stormtrooper wlll likely cause the same discussions with 40+ year olds in 30 years time <br> I like the clean lines of the RO troopers - I saw clean lines in 1977, but Hi-Def wasn't invented then
  19. I think scuffs and scrapes 'look' more authentic but I always end up cleaning them off the TK <br> The shock trooper will be different. He started off weathered, so no cleaning-up allowed
  20. The armour looks thick. But not because of a return edge kinda thick.
  21. Anyone else think the teeth look set-back into the frown? Not a solid moulding?
  22. Wow, but they make a product that produces the most painful experience known to mankind when stood on?
  23. You just summed me up
  24. A fair degree of wear on the extreme right trooper's drop box!
