  4. Troopermaster vs RS

    Thanks guys for your advice, you helped me a lot! RS does offers a smooth helmet and TM offers a whole bundle containing everything. I gotta say both of them are really nice and helpful! It‘s not easy for me to decide wheter to buy RS or TM. There‘s one more thing I want to ask: TM offers a 2mm ABS acrylic capped armor. Whats the difference between this one and the 1,5mm gloss ABS?

    Pros/Cons, the capped is more durable but harder to repair (no ABS paste option to fill in gaps/oopsies when building), should be more resistant to yellowing, but less flexible and harder to cut/drill. Also shinier/whiter as Steve mentioned.

    When I attach the belt it appears to encroach on the buttons. It’s not covering them but does cover the bottom edge of the plate and comes close to bottom button. Is this ok? Figure if I have to move something now would be the time.

    Nope, this is film accurate, nothing to worry about:

    Report

    We trooped the Kids Kottage (with R2 in tow) right before Christmas. The Kids Kottage is an emergency shelter for children needing somewhere to stay atter being removed from thier homes for abuse/neglect/other bad stuff. Nothing puts a smile on their faces more than seeing a bunch of 'bad guys doing good'. We took photos, (attempted) to play some basketball, and handed out swag. Great way to wrap up the year.

  11. Timberwoof's Anovos ANH TK Build Thread

    That photo was after the first attempt at fitting. Walking around revealed problems, which we addressed for the second try. Very important for me was to completely tighten up the shoulder joints. It's a three-handed task, so I pressed in my chest piece while my friend pressed in on my back and tightened up the shoulder connections. (Velcro is a good first step: It's adjustable.) With the shoulders  joined up the whole chest-cod-back-kidnet-butt assembly rode higher. We were then able to lower the thighs a bit. The shins keep riding up; I think I will reduce the return edges at the bottom end. 
    I'm beginning to think that there needs to be a collection of TK Armor Fitting Wisdom (I suppose I could forage through these threads for material), or that The Collection of TK Armor Fitting Wisdom, which I have not yet found, needs to be pinned somewhere. 
    I'd be pleased if there were a patch for TK Armor Technicians which handlers and helpers could be awarded and wear with pride and recognition. 

    That would be a great thread, I'll put that in my idea book (TM).

     

    Re: shins, I had the same problem. Some people make stirrups, I ended up using velcro ties to keep the shin/boots where I wanted them.

  20. What do you have?

    I feel so woefully inadequate. :P

     

    Currently just have the ANH-S TK, working on a FOTK right now (blaster and soft goods done, waiting on armor) and then would like to do a Shadow TB at some point.
