TK4205

Well, I sent for a new smaller bucket. After much inspection I found that the RT suits me the best. Should have it by next month. I'll take plenty of pic so I can post a tutorial. The kit comes pre trimmed, which I'm not all that excited about. The guy took 25 bucks off the price because I'm not getting decals, lenses or directions. I can't wait. This is my first RT, and I'm so looking forword to working on it.

Pick one. I ship these in a 7x10 bubble mailer.

Yes. please shoot me a zip code so I can calculate shipping.

I can take 4 orders at this time. We will be moving, so I'm going to cap it after those, untill I get set up at our new place

You're quite welcome. I was considering on producing some of these for all those troopers that are too big of whimps to sew

Those drop boxes do tend to slap around. I was thinking of puting spray foam in mine.

A satisfied costomer is the best kind to have. If for any reason your're not satisfied, or didn't get your order, just shoot me a pm and we'll fix the problem. Either with a replacement or just a plain refund.

All Orders are going out tomorrow and I am now taking orers for six UnderArmor tops. paypal [email protected] $55 shipped.

I use and recomend these, for comfort, durability and authenticity. ----------

Man, I only wish. Course they did wonders with what they had back in the day. Plastics have come a long way since then.

ORDERING CLOSED FOR NOW.

That would be now if you don't want to wait til the next one. I have two open slots right now for orders.

This is what I like to hear:

These are custom orders. All sizes available. They are not padded.

I am taking orders for four UnderArmor tops.

Troopermaster, If you are doing pulls. try here: -------They have the best prices I've found so far.

This stuff needs to be pressed out, unlike pulling or injection, so you need a positive and negative mold. This particular EVA needs to be cooked. Cooking time dictates its hardness when cool. As far as what the stuff is, I've already gone over. How I get my finished product is a secret family recipe. I'm in the doghouse over this one. I spent $900 last week experimenting, and my wife's kitchen is a disaster area.

I can make this stuff as rigid as I want in the cohesion process. I can't shout enough about this stuff. I haven't slept in three days I'm so excited. I've been dancing around the house with my part that I made. Playing with it and getting acustom to its properties. It's virtualy indestructable for the intended aplication. Oh, and I forgot to mention, It's 1/3 lighter than styrene. After making various small parts I'm thinking of doing a bucket.

In my search for the perfect stormtrooper plastic, I have come across some interesting pollymer that promises to the next best thing in TK armor. Unlike Styrene (HIPS) and ABS, Elastoplastic compositions of ethylene-vinyl acetate rubber and polyolefin resin have a very long life and are durable under much wear and tear. Elastoplastic compositions are blends of cross-linked ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) rubber and thermoplastic polyolefin resin. I found a modified ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer resin designed as sealing layer for lidding and pouch in construction applications. It's available in pellet form for use in coextrusion equipment designed to process polyethylene resins into blown or cast films. It's not 'pulled' like conventional plastics. My first expriment is making a TK belt that is durable, flexible, yet rigid. It was a trick finding the right composition in rubber and thermoplastic polyolefin to get the right color ant texture of the TK look. You can't tear this stuff with your hands. It holds its shape very well. With exelent memory, you can crumple it up and it wili go back to its original shape. I could make an entire set of armor out of this stuff. Stay tuned. More to come

I like the noise too. I think that all the troopers should put taps on their boots for the rose bowl. Wouldn't that be something to see and hear!

It wouln't work very well to put coolmax in the pads, so I'd have to say no. The padding doesn't make it any hotter. The material I use has sweat wicking capabilities. My neckseals breathe well to.

Here's my prototype. Lots of work to go still. I'm going to pad everyplace the armor rubs. So far it feels absolutely comfortable. I still need to do the arms.

That looks good. And it matches your armor. The canvas belts that I have seen in person didn't mach with the armor, and just didn't look right.

I'm still sceptical on the canvas. It could have been replaced sincs the movie was made. If I missed good hard evidence in a previous thread, please enlighten me.

This is a tough one. I agree with Paul in that shimming filling and sanding is the way to go. What is this kit made out of? I personally would just lengthen the flange on top of the calf piece and below the thigh piece.
