Great tip Thanks!!
-
Progress is slow but the bucket is slowly taking shape...
Started with sanding the teeth out with the dremel then using needle files to get the desired shape of the teeth.
Next clamped the hood to the faceplate and got the brow where i wanted it
Drilled some holes and bolted together.
Now onward to the ears!!!!
A quick question to anyone who cares to answer...I'm looking into cutting the lens into 2 pieces and making hold down clamps. I've seen some ideas while doing research but cannot remember where i saw them. Does anyone happen to know some links to some good ideas on this?
Thanks

Thanks Joseph. Your ears look great, did you have to sand much off of them?

Thanks guys...just wanted some back up on what I was already thinking...drilling out rivets if placement was wrong would suck!
-
So my "BBB" day has finally came and before I start a build thread I have a quick question: What are the pros and cons of rivets on the bucket? I see a lot of build threads where rivets are used under the ears for holding the faceplate to the cap( I have an AM 4.0 bucket). I plan on using nuts and bolts to hold them together, any thoughts?

Congrats!!! Ordered my AM kit in May also hoping for a BBB on my front porch soon!!

Just a heads up Mike... TG is still producing armor...currently in the middle of a run that he is hoping to have ready by the end of August. Last time I talked to him about a month ago he said there are still kits available for purchase.

The magnets themselves sound like an adventure LOL

Thanks everyone for the replies...and thanks Joseph for the link...with BBB day getting closer its time to start getting the last remaining tools so I can hit the ground running

Looking for some input on what size magnet width and magnet thickness works best with armor assembly and how many. I've seen different posts on quantity but not to much on the other measurements. Thanks in advance everyone!

Great story...thanks for sharing!! Can't wait to wear the white and participate in troops like this.

Hello Everyone! My name is Bryon and I've been a huge fan of Star Wars since 77...I've been wanting to join the 501st for a long time and that time has finally come
I've decided to build an ANH stunt TK and shoot for Centurion. My AM armor should be here in less than a month and I'm really looking forward to trooping with you guys and putting some smiles on kids faces!!!

Just got a response from TG...they said current run is only four weeks out, and they are still making armor. They also mentioned they are using a new stronger abs formula for this run.

I hope AM is still making armor considering I have a paid in full order in since late April...TG said 2 months out in April. I might have to contact them.

Something I tried just as a experiment.
I have one of Darman's 8oz holsters and it is a very nice quality holster. Nice thick heavy leather. But I wanted to try and make my own on the cheap, just to see how well or not it would turn out.
I had access to some free leather, but it was rather on the thin side. I think it would be considered upholstery leather or something. I made the holster according to the picture posted above. But what I did to make it usable was I got a sheet of black plastic. Mine was free but I know it's available at craft stores and some office supply stores. I'm not certain if the thickness, but it's about the thickness of poster board or so. It's nice and stiff, but flexible. I glued (E6000) the plastic sheet to the leather. Then sewed the holster together, with the plastic sheeting as a internal liner inside the holster. It actually turned out very well. It's lightweight and stiff. I think over the long haul, it will hold up better than the all leather holster. I don't think the plastic will break down and loose it's stiffness as leather will with use.
Do you happen to know the difference between the 4oz. holster and 8oz.? Does one have an advantage over the other or is it just personal preference?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a thread that has links to approved vendors for soft parts. I have the boots from TKBoots already still looking for a neck seal vendor and belt vendor.
I keep seeing the name Darmin for neck seals does anyone have some contact info. Any help would be awesome.
Also would this undersuit be useable?
