Hey, guys. I am currently working on a helmet and thought it would probably be a good idea to install fans and a voice changer. But I know almost nothing about electronics. I currently have two fans on hand, but I have no idea how to work them. (I only bought them because there were only two left. Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015S5XFJE .) Do you guys have any tutorial for learning the basics of electronics? Thanks!

Here are some boot sources: http://www.tkboots.com/ http://www.imperialboots.com/product/421/ http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/31188-tk7-trooper-boots-by-ib-ready-for-sale/

Thanks! I'm planning on building one. Can't wait!

Quick question, when will V3 come out? Just a quick question. Thanks!

Very right! I am amazed with the support on these fourms.

I no longer need any, but thanks for the amazing offer!

My greatest of thanks! Very detailed and smart tutorial!

Hey, guys. I went to the fabric store today, and the closest thing I could get to white (That was canvas cloth) was this eggshell white cloth. (It actually isn't the color of eggshell, a few shades darker than pure eggshell white.) I was wondering if this is the correct off-white color. I just want to know so I don't have to build a belt then realize it can't be accepted. Here is a picture of the cloth in two different types of lighting: Under a white lamp: ---------------- Under a strong yellow lamp: ----------- Under both combined:

Thanks! Just wasn't sure if that was accurate. Thanks again!

Wow. That is amazing!

Hey, guys. I am going to make my own holster on the cheap, but I need measurements. I have found some, but they are all different measurements. I don't think the CRL has specific measurements for the holster, but I want to be as accurate as I can. Thanks!

Thanks! How could I have missed it?

Hey, guys. I am in the process of making a vacuum former, but I need a heat source. I can't use the same oven that I cook food in, nor do I want to buy a whole oven just for this project. I have looked at heaters, lights, etc, but I am not sure if they can melt plastic, or if they are sturdy enough for a vacuum former. Or they are in the hundreds in cost. What do you guys use for a heating element? Where could I buy a cheap, but effective, heat source? Thanks!

I was making my helmet today, and a slip of the knife caused a slight scratch on my armor. From a distance, and with certain lighting, it is not noticeable, but it is really bugging me. The same thing happened on my helmets ears. Do you guys have an idea for getting rid of scratches on armor? Thanks!

Yeah, most tutorials I find aren't that clear. Thanks though!

Thanks!

Ok. Thank you!

Hey, guys. I was thinking of creating my own vacuum former someday, but I can't find a decent tutorial. (Most of them create formers far too small in size) could you guys tell me some advice where to find a decent tutorial? Thanks!

No questions are dumb here, Carlos. I found these: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/34673-star-wars-battlefront-dice-shock-trooper-crl-discussion/?hl=shocktrooper#entry451632, and this: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/34030-star-wars-battlefront-dice-shock-trooper/?hl=shocktrooper

Wow. Thanks! PM inbound!

Hey, guys! I am currently working on a helmet, but I need a frown mesh. Unfortunately, I have no window screen I could cut up, or anything like that. I wouldn't want to buy a whole window and just use a fraction of the screen. Do you guys have any ideas where I could buy the mesh or something else I could use? (That still has airflow, of course) Thanks!

Recently I attempted to glue two armor pieces together. This did not work properly, the two pieces where not properly clamped together, This resulted this mess of dried glue on my armor. I tried once again to glue it, but the previous glue caused it so that the two armor pieces could not connect properly. I tried to remove it with Nail Polish Remover, and I didn't have much luck. i tried scrapping it off with various tools. No luck either. Does anyone have a method for getting rid of this glue, quickly and easily? Thanks!

I took this directly from the 501st CRL for the death trooper, the helmet that is the most "accurate" is the ANH helmet, which gets you to centurion level if you are shooting for that. Good luck on your build! Note: The FX helmet is considered deprecated (to be avoided), though is acceptable for Legion requirements.
