(My GF apparently logged in on my Tapatalk and I didn’t notice before posting lol) I actually started with magnets, seemed like the cleanest way, but they weren’t strong enough, so I switched to the bra hook fiasco. I was worried about that too, but even with the curve, the rod threads through really easily, the blocks are large enough that they stay lined up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm having some issues getting mine to work. I wired everything up into my blaster, but when I turn it on, i get 2 blips from the speaker, my ammo count lights up, 2 of the segments flash, the main led lights up green and flashes blue occasionally. I triple checked my wiring and tried reflashing, still get the same. I figured it was something I did, I had spare parts, so I did a second build on the bench and got same results. I'm assuming something is wrong with the code, was hoping someone knows what's going on or where I should look next. I did my build to 5.0.1 schematics and am using the latest 5 code off the site, pin numbers in the sketch match my wiring, so I assume I have the correct code.

The expensive adapter listed has a male end plug, it would need a female end to work

Just bought a pair of Gorilla Gloves last night, learned something neat. I colored the white printing with a sharpie (not necessary because guards cover it, but wanted it less obvious) but after a few minutes, the print lifted off the gloves, all peeled completely off.

Easiest way is to E-6000 a loop of black elastic, put it on like a bracelet, minus your thumb. A lil Velcro on the top of glove and bottom of guard helps hold it straight, if needed.

I bought a gopher grabber from WalMart for $12 after I suited up, dropped my phone and couldn't reach it. I leave it on top of my armor box when trooping, for others to use as well. Helps with the struggle of grabbing the next piece or shoes to put on when you can't bend down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oops, didn't realize I was on page one, sorry for late post [emoji13] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For a liner, couple options. Can use hardhat webbing, the original foam (bleh) or, as I did, gut a batting helmet. Bought it from a sports resale shop, took the foam pieces out and glued them in my bucket. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Found this article last week, bookmarked it in case I needed it later, I'll share here. https://www.google.com/amp/www.instructables.com/id/Restoring-yellowed-Stormtrooper-armor/%3Famp_page%3Dtrue Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Make sure to get heavy duty, if you can set them with the pliers tool, they're no good, you'll also need the punch set. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome to the forums. I'm in Midwest Garrison (Illinois), we just had a few armor parties a couple weeks ago, I'm sure there will be another coming up soon. Let me know, I can help hook you up with MWG, if you're interested. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They are ok for centurion, but they don't fit as well. I didn't trust my hand painting and used decals, but they wrinkle, had to fill in bottom of tears because angle was so off and doesn't fit quite correctly. It might be easier, but as a decal user, I feel paint is better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For my D ring, I used a link from a hanging light fixture chain, it worked perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got it all fixed, waiting on paste to dry, to sand and re-take thigh box pic. Thanks much Cricket! See anything else? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarify Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is this not correct? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wrong arms? Those are the only ones I've got? Lol The bumpy ridge edge should go to outer, correct? Because they are, am I missing something? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Think I'm ready. Anyone see anything I should fix? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You'll probably have a hard time finding it locally in the right thickness. I looked at a few hardware stores and ended up ordering from trooperbay.com, he's a pretty fast shipper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
