  5. Harbinger's first build - ANH Stunt (ANOVOS) [Centurion Approved!]

    in ANH Build Threads

    Posted · Edited by Harbinger

    New snap plates/straps are under way in preperation for my EIB submission:

    For those wondering, I use a hobby iron to heat up my snap plates and bend them to fit the contours of whatever I'm gluing them to.

     

     

    Also am nearly finished with my thighs. All that's left is a bit more sanding/polishing on the left thigh, I had to add about 1/2" to the top due to overzealous trimming:

  10. ANH Stunt build

    Good job on the ABS paste, that'll look like it never happened with a bit of polishing and some paint!

     

    PS: The recent discussions seem to be about prop replication vs. the CRLs (idealized/standardized versions of what you see in the films) really, like Tony said it's up to you which path to take.

  17. Another ANH stunt build? Yes, another one.

    Two options that I see:

     

    1 - (easy option, possible Centurion roadblocks): Use more heavy duty glue, like an ABS solvent (thin coat). I had to do this on one of my forearms because the E6000 seams kept coming apart.

     

    2 (will look better) - the way your forearms are trimmed, you'll have your cover strips off (too close on one side, too far apart on the other). You could use some inner cover strips/ABS paste to correct your edges and then proceed to glue with outside cover strips as normal, but this would entail more work.

     

    I'm sure others will have their own words of wisdom.

  18. RS Props build by Mr V

    If you keep it up with these great infographics/images I think this thread could end up being a great resource for aspiring RS builds.

     

    Screen used suits had off-white mic tips that were painted black on the outside... the interior was white and on many (most?) suits the ring around the mesh was white due to weathering.

  20. Armor Accessories/Hardware/Soft Goods Reference - ANH

    in Hard Armor (General Discussion)

    Posted · Edited by Harbinger

    Hi everyone,

     

    Below you will find a list of the various ANH kits (for now, I could look into ESB/ROTJ/etc. if demand is there) available and what hardware/accessories/soft goods are included or available as an option. This list was born out of a recent question PM, so I thought I'd expand it out by adding other armor makers and posting it for all.

     

    This list is meant as a companion to Joseph's excellent supply list, which I encourage everyone to take a look at:

     

    Additional vendor information can be found in this thread:

     

    Hopefully this will help all of you with your shopping/builds, as well as act as a resource for those aiming for EI/Centurion in knowing what to expect in terms of additional purchases that will be needed.

     

    Key:

    included at extra cost

    As this is a new thread and currently a work in progress, if anything is incorrect or out of date, please let me know either in this thread or via PM and I will update it. I don't plan on adding FX or any other armors that are out or production, as this list is meant to focus on kits that can still be purchased.

     

    Vendors: to get added to this list, please contact me. If your kits or options change, please let me know.
