    Hi Pete! Welcome to the FISD. Although some of the build techniques are the same, you may want to check out the MEPD which is specifically for TD's as well here.

     

    http://www.mepd.net/

     

    Also a good source of info would be to try and contact your local garrison which has a slew of talented folks to help you out if your interested in joining the 501st once you get your TD completed.

     

    Have fun on your build and hope you meet some new friends along the way!!

     

    Good luck

    Hehe how could I pass up a thread using one my favorite quotes from the movies!

     

    I could see the cloak hood being flipped back in my mind every time I read the phrase!

     

    It's nice to meet you and hope your garrison gets back to you. They are really going to be the biggest help of all and hope you have a heck of an adventure into a much larger world :)

     

    Take care and good luck!

    Welcome aboard Graham! Definitely look into AM and RT. TM is another option but is more screen accurate so hence made for movie size men. I do believe that the higher accuracy will offset any minor gaps due to height.

     

    Good luck with your build and hope you find everything you need. :trooper:

  14. Anybody try mixing ATA or CAP shoulder bells w/RT-Mod

    in Hard Armor (General Discussion)

    With all the franken suits out there has anybody tried this? A friend brought over a scrap piece of plastic from ATA and it has a very slight color difference but not noticeable outside. Inside though with a trained eye you can tell but doesn't look bad.

     

    Wonder if AP is any different? Are there any tricks to blend ABS armors together? Really want to get more arch in bells and would like to avoid bondo and painting and still having them not match as close anyway.

     

    Thanks for any help!!

  17. Hasbro blasters no longer allowed ?

    Thanks for the heads up! I'll shoot doopy doos an email and see what the differences are between it and the mark III kit he was going to make. I can't take full credit for the blaster, Casey did most of the work. I did the trigger,some minor assembly,epoxy on the scope lens, repaint and weathering the blaster. You definitely have my vote on DD's stuff ;)

     

    I just don't get the whole no hasbro at all thing though. There are good builds from both pipe and the hasbro. If it's a matter of just length,etc let the guys add the length and strip it down and add to meet the standards. Especially if the hasbro has been stripped down everything minus the electronics. Why not give someone the chance to meet the standards and keep the electronics and disable them/remove batteries and plug the light for canon events?

     

    Sorry for the rant fellas but I wish I was not so busy at work and had a chance to chime in when the centurion deal was voted on...Heck I just found out about there now being a whole other website with folks splintering off and the bit.
