Rom too, never regretted it!

Man, I'm almost tempted to make it from Montreal ... I need to check for airplane ticket's price!!! Do you guys see any problems coming to this thing from Canada? The only one I see is that I'd never get my custom build E11 blaster through the US customs .. I'd go straight in the terror room with the officers!!!

LOL .. awesome response!!! Had me laughing on this one .. alone .. in front of my computer .. urg

RomFX here with Stomper's Hovies and Terrell's mini speakers (Stomper orders from him), and the end result is just awesome!!! That's just what makes people go "OOoooooouuu!!"

Hey guys, I'm wondering, I just noticed all my picture links are broken in all my threads .. Before, this was working fine: ["img"]http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/uploads/1...7_65_705214.jpg Now, need to be changed with: ["img"]http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/uploads/11...7_65_705214.jpg Notice the "s" missing? Do we have to go through ALL our posts and rechange the links manually?!?! Man, I just did this for the E11 blaster build thread, and it's a pain .. I have posted ten's and ten's of pictures here and there to help people in the threads .. I really can't see myself rereading all my post and fixing all the links manually because the "s" was removed from the URL path. Plus, it's a problem where as we DON'T see if an image is not showing as its embedded in the html code, so I have to hit Edit on every post to see if there wouldn't be a broken link in my post .. :| What's the suggestion on this? Is it me not linking images properly? I've been doing in this way for about a year now! Thanks for your time guys, A

Guys, I wanted to know if anyone of you had any pictures of how the counters were attached to the E11 in ANH? Any screen accurate way of doing it? I've played a lot with it looking at it from every angle, but I didn't wanna mess up my scope rail since I had done a pretty good job at fitting the screws invisibly on it. I'd like suggestions or picture of it (screen accurate). Thanks for your help, I can't wait to consider that gun completed! Cheers

Look at that thread posted above, I just corrected a link to my AP buttons: -------

Like it was said before, I'd take out a little more around the eye, just to remove that lip we see in the pictures. Your frown holes look great, after a little sanding to make them smoother, they'll come a little more rounded and that will be just perfect IMO. As for the ears, that's the way it is on my AP, one you will fit the first inner screws, and then the bottom screw and the ear screws, that join will disappear under the ear and the fit will be seemless. Just take your time on the ear, and don't worry about what you won't see

Do not worry, I have thin area too on my bucket, and never even reinforced it myself. Never caused me any problem with the helmet yet, and I've manipulated it more often then not!

Well, I'm not married either, I turned 31 and have been with my girlfriend for a little more than 2 years. She kinda digs my Star Wars love and the TK stuff I've built (armor and gun) for the past year! I'm pretty sure she would actually wear a costume if I'd make her one .. she would actually love to own a Leia as Jabba's prisoner outfit! )) I also got addicted to Master Replicas stuff, and that cost me much more than my TK armor in the past 6 months, and again, she digs that too even though a room of my place is now packed with Star Wars props!!! She loved watching me on halloween day, and she actually says that at least, she knows where I am at night : reading my SW forums (RPF, RS, FISD and cough cough BSN cough)

Title says it all .. we don't have a picture gallery anymore

Amen brother! Even though I don't troop, not much happening in the Montreal region, I've had enough fun on Halloween to realize how our hobby could make people happy. Their eyes, the surprise, the joy of seeing what we built and the recognition of what they never thought they'd see in their life. Someday, I'll end up trooping with a bunch of other fanatic like me, that would be you, and see what I've seen but a thousand time stronger! I'd also like to take some time to say that we're doing this for fun and to make people happy, and hell, to make us happy .. I really wish 2008 would see some chilling out on these boards, the realization that 99% of us are here for fun, and not to take crap or to spend time reading flaming post and recasting wars. Here's a resolution for 2008, make peace with the person you hate, enjoy the hobby, say what you need to say and move on! Write tutorials, post pictures and help nOObs getting through it Your life will be better, your health will be better and you'll start feeling better! Don't do this for the money, do this for what it can bring in others .. That's all I have to say .. see you around

Tim, I also removed some ABS around the neck. I have a small head but it wouldn't fit as is. I basically removed almost none on the ear side (left/right) and around a cm on the faceplate and cap (forward/back). Anyway, if you look at Han's bucket in ANH, you'll see that the neck hole is way bigger than ours. It looks like it's been enlarged all the way up to half the height of the tube!!!

Great Job Tim! I really like your frown there! Much better than mine as the holes are much more squared (didn't have a file when I did mine). Also, you can't really complain on the ear fit, one of the best out there! Eyes are really sharp too, I'd say you removed just enough to make it look perfect! Outstanding job on your bucket, can't wait to see it done!!!

I'm definitely sold RomFX, this thing is the difference between a cool costume and an awesome costume!!! I have to add that I've never heard anything else, so I may be biased a little Oh and I would like to add that if the question is: Do I buy a sound board, or update my FX helmet to a TE2? .. then scratch the poll and get a TE2

Here's more info for the comparison info: "The AP is a completely new helmet, the GF helmet was heavily modified and sanitized to match Hero look but was not accurate in many areas. the AP helmet is slightly sanitized just smoothed the top/cap to remove bumps, but all the original assymetries are present. The armor is from same molds but AP improved many many details that GF didn't, chest lip, AB button detail plates, forearm details AB details, butt plate detail ect..."

Merry Christmas to you all, I can't say enough how you guys been helpful while I was building my kit .. I wish one day to be able to troop with you guys, or even troop at all

I won't derail more than it already has, but I've used this glue since day 1 on the armor, and I've been very satisfied with it! Although it stinks like a 200 year old dead horse, abs gets cemented real good with it!

Don't be so modest, you're the artist, I'm a simple programmer .. 1001 01010 0101010 0 01 I'm waiting for a response from Mark about the GF->AP mold diff!

WOW!! What a great helmet this is, did you notice the build quality on the one on the right! I'm stunned! I would say that AP made some changes to the GF's mold, and that might explain the difference in the dome! I'll get more info on this one!

Speakers I would go Terrell's way (SuperTrooper) and see if he'll do a run eventually Amp RomFX, TrooperCom and TrikToys

Here's my AP ab plate

Another solution for the black contour of the ear would be to use black electric tape, apply it on a piece of plastic and use and exacto to cut a line in it at 1/8". Then, Remove the thin line of tape and apply it on your helmet. That's what I came up with for my helmet, and it definitely look really good. See here

I really like that helmet! Nice job Chris .. it kinda make me wanna get another one beside my AP .. OMG, please god, don't make me go that way ... And am I alone here getting sad when seeing a cracked faceplate like this?!?

Holy cow, this thing is so shinny!!! I wish my AP had that glossy look! I'm wondering if you can apply that finish directly on abs (without a pain job under)? Awesome job!!!
