  1. Does anybody know what the difference between an Aker and a regular speaker you might hook up to your phone for music might be? Could I not just use a regular speaker instead of an Aker with my mic, and phone? If so what features might this speaker need? I've already attempted this and got tons of squealing feedback, but not being a sound guy I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. <br><br>

    Any input welcome, thanks.

  2. Cool. I thought that was Adam Baldwin. I'm watching The Last Ship right now. Good series. <br>

    That picture of Vader hugging the little one is beautiful. Good work.<br>

    You also have a very charismatic looking mug. You should have asked Adam Baldwin for his agents number. Although, for all I know you could have the acting ability of Mark Hamill.

  3. Just a suggestion based on what I came up with for my glove solutions. When the time comes I will glue the flexible painted hand guards to the rubber chemical gloves for Centurian. I will use those for the events where we want the best accuracy, and only when they will be worn for short periods.<br>

    For most of the time, I got some Gorilla Gloves from Home Depot. Stuck some cardboard in them and scrubbed the logo off with some nail polish remover. The cardboard stretches out the material where the logo is making it come off easier, and also prevents the nail polish remover from soaking through to the other side where the rubberized material is. Which could potentially damage it as well. Wait for the nail polish remover to evaporate before removing the cardboard. <br>

    I then just make some cloth elastic loops and attach those to the regular ABS hand plates. The Gorrila Gloves breath more resulting in less swamp hand. They also, just fit better. I also prefer the consistency in appearance of the ABS over the flexible hand plates.<br>

    Good luck!

  4. Thanks Raz & Luc, and well, everybody that got me this far. I've been so busy trying to get things approved in time for Toronto Fan Expo and keep up at work, that I haven't had time to post pics and write a decent build thread update. I should be able to take some time to do it this long weekend. <br><br>

    Got to say it was pretty awesome looking at myself when done. Still lots of tweaking to do though.

  5. Your cat is awesome.. that coin is meh... ;)

    I'm happy to have both.

    As for the TK status... ...well, I've been so busy trying to acquire it, and keep up with work and life, I haven't had time to properly update my build thread. It's been kind of a rush to get things sorted in time to participate at the Toronto Fan Expo here. Thanks for noticing though, lol. I will try to get a decent update posted soon.

  6. Welcome back! <br>

    You can do this! If you ever need motivation and inspiration I have found that the Field Training Exercises forum section is pretty good for this: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/13-field-training-exercises/'>http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/13-field-training-exercises/</a><br>

    As for trimming your helmet, I would sand a little closer to the pencil lines you made for the eyes and for the teeth, you can check here for some references: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/16270-anh-frown-reference-pix/'>http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/16270-anh-frown-reference-pix/</a>

  7. Hi all,

     

    First build looking for feedback, Im looking to join the 501st next year. I wore it for the first time at celebration and went to the 501st stand and received some feedback and am now looking to take the armour to the next level before applying for the 501st next year. all advice is appreciated.

     

    I have posted all the images on Imgur: Link: http://imgur.com/a/aq75D

     

    Thanks

    I recommend you lengthen your shoulder straps to allow your back plate to hang lower and cover that gap. You'll probably also want to make some bicep clips to attach them to the shoulder straps.

     

    What kit is this?
