Mike great pics almost like a video,mmm now theres a thought. One thing that has crossed my mind with all your build threads is the quality of the pictures,what camera are you useing.The pics are as clear close up as they are from afar

Andy,blumin ace mate,my eyes poped out of my head. I can put ideas on paper but turning them into working in hand items i fall flat on my face. One for me 100% if you make some.

thanks DesTROYer Yes the rom-fx can run on 9v or 12v. I only have the single 9v and now with the extra 2 packs of 4xAA batterys i can get the max 12v power out of it. This will give me higher volume and a longer life on the batterys. I thought it wasnt as simple as all reds together ,so thanks for sorting this one out for me

Wonder if one of you troopers can help out.I have two battery boxes holding 4AA they both have a 9V conector on the boxes.I want to run both to my rom-fx. So i would need to make a three way connector,i need to know what wires go were.I have the three 9V ends with wire on them so its a diagram i need? Hope you can help?

Nice little tip! I would think that works very well on thin parts we find from time to time.

OK guys had a good look at this hook and this is how i see it. Sorry about the free hand but you get the idea.I really feel the stem has a coiled spring around it and thats what Luke fiddles with to make the hooks open up.

I wondered were you had go to graham,and now we know you have been busy.Looks very nice mate.You got it spot on with your build.its 100% better to get the armour to fit you rather than trying to fit the armour. You have put lots of hours into this and its paid off.Now tell me are you smiling under that lid ?

Hi just a quick question what size waist are you? Thank the lord thats all over with (trimming)

That has just blown me away,not only is that one great looking blaster but your vid is just jaw dropping.

here you go mate,i phoned them and the guy knew all obout us troopers. seals direct its over here in the UK they will even send out samples

Armando is right about putting the lid way for a week or so,i know we all want to get these projects of ours done and dusted but sometimes time is our friend. I found a UK contact for Krylon paint,(yes mate you can get it in the UK) i will PM hes details phone number etc. My sandy lid was done by first using wet and dry paper all over ,even took off the ears so i didnt miss any area,then washed the dust off. then just sprayed the lid with krylon gloss white.first coat you could not see,left for 30 seconds or so then just built it up with 4 layers with a gap of about 30-40 seconds.then i think i put the lid on the top shelf for about 8 days. I was able to use wire wool on the lid to take the shine off areas as i was making a sandy then used pastal chalks,grey,sand,burnt umber,yellow,cream for the weathering. It took all that with no chipping or flaking.

looks a pro job there mate nice work

And theres a nice leather holster on its way to put it in <_< Thanks guys ,the wire wool did most of the work knocking off the gloss i used acrylic model paint to weather it .paint chips here and there but most important the burnt umber.this softens the chips and gives an oiled aged look. the great thing about acrylic is you can water it down which makes it blend with the other colours you use.

Im almost finished making my new E11 ANH blaster and thought i would share some painting tips i used.First off i prayed the who thing with a satin black,and it just looked wrong. So i got hold of some hammerite gloss black spray (its the smooth version for metal and a very high gloss). When dry i rubbed the blaster all over with some wire wool to take the gloss off.Now this way it puts scratches and leaves some of the gloss in the hard to get to parts. The E11 really looks like metal it has gloss areas along with half shine areas along with matt. I will put some pics up as soon as the light is right.

HI Matt, Lets go into business,As wee speak i am ready to paint the counter and add the number panel.Love your detail mate.

Ive made a little tutorial of how i put this together.I hope it helps a trooper with some time on there hands to build a counter. COUNTER TUTORIAL Enjoy

very nice,the icing on the cake mate.you got them eyes trimmed spot on there.bet your chuffed to bits ?

thanks guys,i will knock up a tutorial very soon,it took two hours and some spare plastic.

Well ive got no cash for a real counter,not happy with the resin ones so built one from ABS today. Im in the process of making a new E11 for myself also. I double posted could admin delete this one,thanks

nice job on the suit,i think you are a little wrong on the shoulder straps not being glued onto the chest.I think they were glued on so you are riight in doing this. Thighs just a little higher and elastic or webing a little shorter on the chest and back plate to bring the chest higher.Thats about all can see for a great fitting suit.

100% spot on well done on you efforts .Looking foward to these hitting my door .

those were the days ,when fashion was cool.I still wear my harrington and flight jacket.Ditched the lofers could never keep them on anyway

I have just had an email from Rob (RT-MOD) So great news for anyone after his stuff !

that was looking so good,but now im not so sure.I know noboby can see inside your lid but i think you could have put the lenses in a little better. After spending all that time getting the lid back to full health,just my eye but a step back you have taken.

Plastic weld is the only way for me with ABS.Fast clean and strong.Ticks all the boxes mate. PLASTIC WELD Also great on HIPS but not the gloss side
