  1. Well life got in the way, but a recent purchase has spurred my interest in getting things from box to built. Got a very cool Skull Trooper Helmet. Anyways I found my old thread here. Courage is lacking on my part to start but I need to just start. Sent from my Phone 2 using Tapatalk
  2. My AM kit came with two abs belts. One good for basic the other good for centuion. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
  3. Do you have a how to on using magnets on the shins? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
  4. So I'm going through my parts and labeling the Right side parts so I don't accidentally mix things up. I have more than enough fabric for making my canvas belt so I cut a bit off for magnets. I have enough fabric to build two canvas belts with some ribbing so they don't flop around. i'll build one to the HWT standard and the other to an ANH standard. And here's some easy to pull apart magnets: And I found Navajo bro's build thread with AM2 kit, so I'll follow it as well as some of the others. I think I'm fairly ready to start assembly but I've got some reading to do before I start my first cut..... http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/32531-navajo-bros-am-20-stunt-build/
  5. Looks like the T-21 would be dropped from the updated CRL? Not a big deal, but for me I like the HWT because it had the T-21 listed and I wouldn't have to weather the armor like a Sandy. So I could easily swap between two possible costumes by having two belts and polishing off the battle damage. An ANH TK and then the HWT. I just like the T-21 so for me to keep it I'd have to turn sandy. I have no idea the number of HWTs out there, so it may not be a big deal. But T-21 are fairly expensive if you bought one. Wouldn't that cause a little grief removing it from the CRL for other members?
  6. A good supply list is provided by JustJoseph63 can be found here: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/31404-supply-list-for-your-tk-build/ UKSWRATH Avonos build is pretty much the go to thread around here. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/35086-ukswraths-anovos-tk-build/ And if you're like me and need something more than just pictures, thankfully trooperbay put together some Tutorials on youtube found here: https://www.youtube.com/user/TK4510DECALS And to give credit where credit is due, I've been following Jaltroopers build thread here which he has some vendors he purchased through on there. I ended up using the same vendors and everything arrived as ordered! http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/39748-jaltroopers-anh-stunt-tall-guy-newbie-am-20-build/ I have yet to start building but all the above should get you pointed in the right direction. Also if you're doing a Sandy then you might want to check out http://forum.mepd.net/ as they are the experts on Sandtroopers.
  7. Hope you can recover from your mistake. You're so close to being finished. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
  8. I do have a question about strapping. I understand how the brackets will work, but I'm still a little fuzzy on the double snaps single snap thing. Looks like the thighs need a garter system that will use webbing and snaps hung of a belt. I've decided to build my own garter system with black belt and build my own white canvas belt. So here's the question.... Shoulder / bicep / forearms can webbing be used instead of elastic? If webbing can't or shouldn't be used, what about using elastic with snaps, gluing webbing in with snaps and then affixing the elastic with snaps. This way I don't ever have to un-glue anything but I can replace the elastic as needed. Also could I double the thickness of the elastic? Say I need six inches from bicep to forearm, could I make it 12 and double it over to 6 and put a few line tacks in with the sewing machine so I have double thickness on the elastic.
  9. Still collecting things, got these beauties in..... Thank you Mr. NoStripe and Joseph!
  10. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/39692-TKTalkie-V2.0-Released! Adding this here because this sounds like a great diy thing for comms. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
  11. Only me setting? I didn't figure that would work. I guess you're by passing facebook security because you're posting the url for the picture directly in the post on here. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
  12. Finally completely unboxed! I'm glad I'm use to having extra parts whenever I finish things. Wow this is going to be a task!
  13. Here's some of the tools, I don't have everything listed but I do have a bunch of it. I'll be looking into other tools I will need.
  14. Here's the under armor stuff I was talking about in the OP. Hopefully the small top stays tight enough and I may be buying other bottoms if gym time goes right. But for now this is everything I plan on using underneath unless things don't meet centurion level.
  15. Thanks Randy! Gonna sort through my BBB today and make sure everything is there.
  16. Shout out to jaltrooper for his build thread! Making it easy for the newbies like me. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/39748-Jaltrooper's-ANH-Stunt-"Tall-Guy-/-Newbie"-AM-2.0-Build Thanks man! I have ordered my stuff from mrnostripes (bracket system) and joeseph (rivets and silicone hand gaurds) then found the nomex gloves. Also looks like Jaltrooper's putting together a great set of armor! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
  17. Thanks for being so thorough! Are you going to use mr nostripes strapping system? I'm leaning in that direction for my build. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
  18. Hopefully I got my Facebook album shared correctly and you guys can see the pictures above! Obviously if you are a work and you don't get to see facebook then those should be broken links
  19. The BBB came in! I couldn't wait to open it. So here's a quick peek. o
  20. That looks like they could be handy! I've got a build date completion goal of May so slow and steady. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
  21. I'm gonna scratch build the t-21. That's my current plans. The bad weather has delayed my BBB so hopefully tomorrow will be the arrival day! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
  22. I was wondering why I was getting all the dlt-19 comments. Looks like my phone struck again. The title should have a t-21! But I saw they have hyperfirms for t-21's as well. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
  23. Thanks for all the support I've been reading various threads on pack building and t-19s. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
  24. I'm expecting my BBB so I thought I'd start my own build thread. I'm going hwt from the start and centurion is the goal. The plan is build everything I can. I'll start with the armor then the pack and finally the t-19. Crl I'm following: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TD_hwt I'll update this first post with other links as I find them. I have an AM 2.0 kit incoming. I found some under armor (not the brand) at costco so $15 for the 2 piece under suit. Hopefully I bought it small enough. I've been exploring the comms section researching electronics and hope to put my knowledge in that area to use. The pack seams interesting enough I just hope I can get it to turn out correctly. And finally I like wood working and the t-21 has plenty of that. Vacuum forming is pretty interesting so I may have to try my hand at that. Wish me luck any hope my build doesn't get bogged down or boring [emoji3] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
