Ohhh ok ok, are those belts in the photos, screen used belts? Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Very good info, by the way, how that corner cut has to be?, 1.5cm? 2cm? Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Im not sure if i understand correctly, do you mean the 3 rivets in the belt that are covered by a small square piece of abs? Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Alright, i will post some better shots of the front and the back Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Yeah... But. How to know if it is too much cutting? What about yours? How long is the strip that runs through the middle of the bell? Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

That is a ROTJ blaster Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Hey guys and gals, i my build almost done, but with my shoulder bells, i having a little problem, i dont know if i should cut more of the edge, and how to do it. The bells are 300 tall (following the line strip And 300 wide (following the circumference edge to edge) I keep looking at anh screenshots and i look different. Can you give me some advice?

Hey guys, does anyone have a link to the 37 gal chest? Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Hi guys, is there an alternative to the aker mr1506 to ise with an icomm?, Something small, preferably available in Europe, compatible with the icomm, any suggestions? Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Hi again guys. i was digging frames from A New Hope to see if i could come up with some additional info about the holsters. In Mark Hamill's belt we can early see a pop rivet, which makes me think than in the holster most likely were used the same. Now the doubt that i just can't clarify, ¿how the strap for securing the E-11 was attached to the holster? ¿Was simply put on and riveted, without anything else? ¿Was passed through the holster to the other side (the back) and riveted? ¿Was a little square used? (Like with the two hang straps) I will leave you with some screenshots from the movie Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Careful with the shins, they are easy to mix up and end up putting together the 2 outer on one leg and the 2 inner on the other leg, carful with that, and something else, they are not equal, i mean, when trimming and measuring you will realize that the 2 outer halfs are very slightly different and the 2 inner halves are also a slightly different Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

This is a very late response but still, works for the newbies. The difference is the thickness of the leather, i think that a holster must not be made with leather less thick than 8oz, must be sturdy and not wobbly. If the leather turns out to be too rigid that is weird when wearing it or holstering the blaster, is always an option soften it with leather oils and conditioner. The leather can be shaped to the blaster contours using a heat gun, be careful when doing this. Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Still looking for a holster? Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Ok... The ones i have now are too short, i think i can find longer ones. If i use pop rivets, do i need to use washer? Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Jmmm... I see, is a good idea, and what about where the strips join the holster? Should i use pop rivets?, Chicago screws?, Double cap rivets? Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Well guys, it happened that my neighbor had some thick leather laying around his home and he sold it to me, i managed to build a holster and i would love to share a couple o pictures with all you and have the privilege to receive some feedback. It does not have rivets or the snap, I'm not sure the size of those, can you help me with that? Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Somehow varies, and even more when intentionally we try to emulate a specific trooper. Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

No helmet is exactly r6he same, all of them are, in a way, slightly different to put together, is strange, i dont know exactly why. Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Yes, magnets are handy. I'm glad that things are working now how is supposed to be Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Hold the whole thing with magnets, n42 strength at least, and around 20mm wide and 5mm tall. I leave no return edge in the round areas of the sides of the helmet, that allows that round area to sit better against the sides of the faceplate. Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Both ear caps are a pain. Always check screenshots from the movie and photos of the screen used helmets, those are the best references, keep in mind that there are many discrepancies among the helmets in the movie. But still it should give you a good idea of how a stromtrooper should look. Trim the edge, check with the helmet, doesn't fit?, File down carefully, and re check how does it fit the helmet, is tedious but is a good to prevent file down too much.

Keep calm bro, you have no idea how bad i screwed my build the fist time, (i had to buy a new shin) my advise, study a lot this threads and ask always if any doubt arises. In your case I would drill a new hole. Remember you can use pressure clamps or magnets to hold in position the two helmet pieces, before drilling make sure the pieces are positioned the way you want them to be.

Congratulations Rob, you did an amazing work Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Yes screws and bolts. Stiff is good, that's how it should be. Are your starting your build with the helmet? Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk
