TK-8521 requesting access

 

TK-8521

[Requesting deployment status...]

Since I made a canvas belt, I had a ton of those ABS stips left over (i actually still have 1 completely untouched), but i just cut one of those in half, put some hook velcro on it, then loop on the very inside edges of the stomach and back plates. haha, its hard to get them both lined up after you ahve it on, but once you figit with it, its not bad

[Requesting deployment status...]

Haha, well your opinion counts. guess I'm in then

[Requesting deployment status...]

Here's my just-completed armor, hopefully the first deployment acceptable FX (ANH Hero configuration):

 

 

 

 

 

[Trooper Comm Interface - Taking Pre-orders Now!]

Put me on the list of interested persons

 

judging by the mic and speaker ports, im guessin this is a tad smaller than a pack of cigs?

[TK Space Variant]

yeah, the pics are too far away to really discern what theyre made out of.

 

but on a seperate note, does anyone else think it looks like the TKs are wearing kamas like clone commanders or snowtroopers? i just noticed that now

[ANH Deployment Standards ready for comment]

Just my 2 cents, not being a 501st member yet, but I think that if an FX bucket conforms to the standards, like the gray cutout frown and blue tube stripes, it should still be acceptable for deployment.

[Anyone build an SE-14R?]

Zep, you're right, yours isnt as good. guess youll just have to send it to me or something

 

hahaha, but seriously, i think yours looks awesome, if you were to produce some I'd definitly be interested

[Canvas trooper belt]

does anyone who's used a canvas belt have pictures of how they attached the thermal detonator? I'm building and FX kit right now, and I'm going to be using canvas when i get to my belt, so I was just wondering how to go about doing that

[HOWTO: Garter for thighs]

4205, is the 3 inch elastic belt just 1 layer of elastic? did you double it up or anything? because in the first picture it looks thicker. but I may have to try this when i get to my thighs, because I was kind of worried about having the suspenders hold up my waist, cod, and thighs

[Yet another new guy!]

Coooooobbbbbbrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

Whoops, wrong forum!

 

Haha, props for recognizing it This is the SN I use for like every board I'm on.

But thanks for the welcomes, everyone! hopefully I'll be tooping with some of you in the near future!

[Yet another new guy!]

Hey everyone! My name's Grant, and right now I'm working on an FX kit. My goal is to make it accurate enough for deployment status, and I'm getting some great help from Boozel. I like about an hour from Pittsburgh, PA and I'll be a member of Garrison Carida once I'm approved.

[First-time builder - Advice?]

So far I've been using the ABS glue that came with my FX kit, and it's working perfectly for me. I'm not in a super rush to get mine done, so I'll just glue something, clamp it, and let it sit and dry while to go to school or sleep or whatever. I usually let everything dry for about 10 hours at a time. As for the warping, I'm not going to argue with anyone, but I have yet to encounter this. I used a pretty generous amount on my hand plates to keep the elastic bands secured, and I haven't had any problems yet. Right now I've only glued my arms (hands, forearms, biceps) so I'm definitly not an expert by any means, but this has been my experiance so far.
