    Already been checking this forum section :)  Pocketbook says no for right now but I am planning on making a Sandy eventually, also a Snowtrooper.  I need to make more money for this Lifestyle!  

     

    On a positive note my Brother is Officiating my wedding this summer as Darth Vader and no my wife already said I cannot use my TK Armor for the ceremony :(

  5. Insulin Pump

    There is a patch on my stomach area and I will be using a two piece suit.  Normally it is on my belt.  The insulin pump only has around two feet of cable connecting to the patch.  I can go around an hour without having the pump with me but would have to take a small break every hour to "resupply".  I am fitting my torso tonight so I will see how much room and what my options are for mounting.  The size is roughly 3 x 8 x 1.

    Is there anyone who has an insulin pump with their TK armor?  I need to figure out how to make my insulin pump clip onto the armor in some way.  I was thinking of glueing a small bracket onto the inside of the chest piece but I would like to hear what people have done so far.  The pump itself has a belt clip with it.

     

    Thanks

    There are a few reasons folks use Plasti-Dip.. One, it makes the inside of your bucket much less noticeable.  I have seen some taller Troopers where the white inside really jumps out at you, especially when tilting your head.

    There are 2 types of the Plast-Dip, the spray and the brush-on.  I just used the spray, but some like the brush-on and layer it with cheesecloth (like Jeffrey's above).  This gives the helmet a little more "heft".

    If you do decide to use it, be SURE to give the inside a good sanding and then clean it thoroughly with some rubbing alcohol to remove any dust.  Otherwise it may not adhere very well.

    With the spray plastidip will I still need the cheesecloth?  I will probably use the brush-on style.  I have seen a few posts that actually use drywall tape(I think) instead of the cheese cloth.  Any thoughts?

    Exactly what I did. I used Chicago screws. E6000 the Chicago screw to some abs then make sure it will get your lens by cutting lens material bigger.

    I am looking at the chicago screws and was wondering what style/size/material did you use? Also have you found a site that will sell only a few at a time and not in sets of 100?

  11. Original TK bucket lenses.

    I have seen a few photos where people have bolted lenses on so that there is a small gap to allow airflow. From what I can guess it involves joining a small bolt to a piece of ABS and the joining that ABS to the inside of the bucket. The lenses will be bigger then the eye socket in the bucket.

     

    It might just be me but is it really that simple to do? I have an Anovos TK bucket where there is a visor inside instead of individual lenses. I want to replace the visor for the lenses to free up some space.

     

    Any ideas on this subject?

    Wanted to say Hello to everyone here.  I am planning on building my TK armor within 6 months and even have an armorer picked out.  (Shoutout to WTF: Walt's Trooper Factory)  On a side note I do have a couple of Star Wars tattoos my favorite one is Commander Cody's Execute Order 66 on my forearm.  Excited to join the community and help out as much as I can.  Long Term plan is to make a snowtrooper outfit to wear when I am buried in Wisconsin's winter wonderland!
