  1. I look over the end of the thread about shins. Looks like WTF is a pain to tell the difference. The clue for me is the inside left ridge dip.
  2. Left & Right Inside..... I see the Left bottom hangs more, that the outside? Right & Left outside.... the Right, top/side has a more longer sharper angle on the side....
  3. Hello, it's been awhile. I trimmed, sanded and kept lot of the edge on to size up later. Question: Are these shins labeled correctly? R/L O = R/L Out & R/L I = R/L Inside. From what I see RI has a deeper angle. Other that, they all look the same. Also, looking at the OG film armor, I don't see return edge on the bottom of the shins, correct? What about the top? and how much and rounded OR angles? Top Shin: Bottom shin:
  4. This is a WTF cast and built by Daves Darkside Depot. I noticed the right front and rear ear cups has a gap. This an issues and if so, fixable? Hopefully this is not an issues also. The left lenses has a big gap, maybe due lence being flat. Over all the bucket looks passable from my amateur point of view: My build is an ESB, but I got an ANH E-11 blaster (sad face). I will look for the correct blaster down the road. Holster; 8oz leather. This correct for ESB TK build? IB: I will post later photos of what I have built so far.
  5. Hello Everyone, Background on myself and TK info/build: I’m in my mid 40’s. Been in love with Star Wars since childhood. I retired from the United States Air Force in Nov 2014. Inside my retirement box (Shadow Box), I have a Stormtrooper action figure. I have been living in Alaska since Dec 2014. I have been volunteering at my local 501st Garrison since May 2018. I have done numerous trooping’s with them as support crew: May The 4th zoo day, hospital visits, 4th July parade float and fund raising at the state fair. Since I have been working on my TK build, I have asked the garrison TKs many questions and getting hands on with their completed builds. I love getting lesson lessoned from them. The hospital visits get me in the feels and looking forward to wearing my bucket to hide my man tears. Male, 5’9, 170lbs BBB day was Aug 2021. Before then and since, I have been gathering soft parts and tools. Armor: WTF. Helmet: WTF. Sent and built at Dave’s Darkside Depot. It has fans and a mic. I noctied some issues with it. I will post phots of them. Boots: IB. Blaster: Hard rubber. With the help from justjoseph63 blaster photos, I have an ANH. I will work on getting ESB blaster down the road. Holster: Thick all black 8 oz leather. I keep the blaster in the holster to shape it for easier removal. Canvas Belt: Not done. Waiting for chest to be done to get measurements. Gloves: Black rubber with cotton inserts soak up sweat. Hand Plates: Latex that came with rubber gloves. Neck seal: Etsy, all black tube type with zipper. Under suit: Amazon, one piece with zipper in the front. Tools: I went to the White Armor got a list from justjoseph63. His links are outstanding and has help me a lot! I believe have all the tools I need. I got extra earth magnets (round and rectangle) and have them in colord cloth, to keep them from braking and to know the polarization. Questions: 1: I have plenty of free time to build, but most of it is 30 minutes one day or the whole weekend. For the times I just have 30 minuets, what can I work on that when the time comes, that shorten the time spent bigger sections? Example: Work on the gray and blue buttons when I have 30 minutes. 2: My think is if I damage and or screw up a section, is to move on to the next section. So, near the end, when I need to reorder a section(s) it’s at one time not, order parts as I go. Trying to cut down on cost of shipping to Alaska. Thank for your time and furure help with childhood dream of becoming a Stormtrooper!
  6. I found the gray, white and black paints because of this post; thanks! Having trouble with the blue. I look at Testors website and they don't have 2715 French Blue. I did find it with the same website as Model Master #4659 as acrylic. Thank you. https://www.testors.com/-/media/DigitalEncyclopedia/Documents/Testors/ColorCharts/RM280035_0914_TestorsPremiumPaints.ashx https://www.testors.com/product-catalog/testors-brands/model-master/acrylic-paint/bottles
  7. Just got my pair of IB shoes the other day. Agreed, they smell, look and feel nice. Is there something that can be added/used to help keep them clean/new? And what about after a day of trooping? I was in the military when black boots was the standard issue. No heel and toe shine with these white boots, but same idea: put on a coat of white boot/shoe polish? Thanks.
  8. Good info here!! Best Magnets size I can find on Amazon is 1.26 inch (32mm) x 1/8 inch (3.17mm). Will these work? Most of my shopping is from Amazon, because I'm in Alaska.
