  1. Jimmiraquois First Order Stormtrooper Build

    in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance

    Posted · Edited by Tiedoll

    After itch-sanding, do you cut, then apoxie, primer, then sand again?

     

    I have bondo from my clone but I'm not sure when to apply it, if at all as apposed to apoxie.

     

    At this point I've only done initial sanding and have found a few cracked parts and some surface imperfections. The cracks have been handled with Super Gorilla Glue for now.

    Well...bc I'm a glass half full kind of guy, this could have been much worse. That being said I've spent the entire morning re-sanding down the biceps, shoulders as well as the chest piece. The high build primer was a bit too thick and ended up cracking on me ; (. Ofcourse I had to provoke it with flexion however, I will be re-applying with SEM "flexible primer" as time permits in the next couple of days.

    Treat those hand plates like they're made of glass. I almost broke them a few days back testing them with just my grip.

    It seems to have started as a build thread then turned into a sale thread for a blaster, with a little armor bickering in between. You make it sound lake a brawl..

    Hey if Max is fine with it then by all means argue about Anovos. Just know there's a stickied thread about how to make the Anovos armor accurate to the screen. So that's saying something.

  15. Tandy Line 24 Snaps on Sale, 50% Off through the end of March

    As someone who's never used snaps before, I don't have any of the tools to assemble them for my armor set coming in late April. Should I buy their------- It says it comes with 20 assorted Line 24 snaps, a setter, and an anvil. I'm just wondering how this is different from getting a 10 pk of Line 24 snaps since they cost the same.

     

    Thanks!

  17. Where to get cheap armor

    in TFA Stormtrooper

    Posted

    The Philippines member you're talking about sells 1 set for about $880+ without shipping which would run over $100 if shipping out of the Philippines.

     

    Waiting list is over 100 people at the moment with about 30 people per month on a run.

     

    A set of 10 might run you over $9500~ish with months of wait time and weeks of assembly

  19. What adhesive to use with abs?

    in ANH (Stunt and Hero)

    E6000 initially

    Zap a Gap & Zip Kicker if you want the bond a bit more permanent.

     

    I've got some shims on my thighs that might prove unstable with E6000 down the line so I'm leaning towards filling up some of those seams with ABS sludge and sanding it down to form a seamless bond.

    Updates on the blaster. So it seems the citrustrip might've eaten at some of the detail.

    The scuffed looking sections were peeled using the stripper and are no longer tacky. As you can see, removing the paint revealed porous looking sections of the blaster.
