2155TK

great red bull tip Thayne..how exactly did you place I.velcro on one side of the TD?

super thanks for the quick replies sirs! Noted! Throw out the silver tape! Btw Thayne, is your thermal det made out of 2" PVC? how do you open the end cap to use for storage? looks great!

I am building my armor with ANH config. and trying to mod it as elite as possible. Are there any rules regarding the silver tape that i got with my FX thermal det? I see some of the guys have the siver paint/tape on, but some don't. should i use the silver tape to go for ANH? Thanks again and sorry for all the questions

Thanks for all your info! Appreciated

Will nomex flight gloves be allowed for elite status? the rules say rubber, or leather. Just wanted to ask sirs.. Thanks!

Wow thanks for the quick relies and help!

Can someone help me regarding what is the accurate size of the TK ab buttons.. i hear the FX kit buttons are too large,i'm doing ANH armor btw..anyone have an AP armor that can measure the correct ab button diameter in centimeteres? thanks guys!

Hey guys I've seen different kinds of thigh armor, and the one that confuses me is the part where, in the FX kit the lower rear part of the thighs has a inverted curve, supposedly for more movement at the back of the knee.. but looking at some reference pics and some of your guys armor the lower rear part is just a straight cut.. i wanted my thigh piece to look smaller near the knee part, i don't want it looking like a cylinder! So which is better? Thanks

I wish all tutorials were this easy and precise! Thanks very much!!

thanks for the tip..i'll look for this at the local Target

Thanks August! Big Help!

HI sir! How did you remove the painted on tube stripes on the MRCE? i know you replaced them with new decals right? thanks!

was the ABS still shiny when you glued it together? try sanding the polish off the ABS first then use epoxy to stick em' together.. let us know if it works!

Saw the underarmor suit bro! looks great! btw on the pic where you raised your arms(facing front), it looks like the suit is a bit loose around the armpit area.. is this due to the size being smaller for you?

Thanks for the reply! is the "4" the head size? also, do i screw the heads all the way in or do i leave a gap?

What type of screws do i buy for the ears? flat or rounded? also what size number? #6 or #8 screws? thanks! will i need washers for this? btw i have a MRCE bucket thanks again!

yeah i've seen that too.. the pic where the snaps are used to attach the back of the calves peices..

Billy again, thanks... i did use the search button but i guess i didn't see that particular post at all!

hey it's me again with all the newbie questions! hope it's ok with everyone Anyway would anyone know the measurements in making your own leather holster? I'm just gonna try my luck..we have an old sofa that i can get some scrap black leather from the backside before throwing it in the garbage.. I plan to sew it by myself but i have no idea what the measurements are for my Hasbro blaster with resin parts.. Any help would be appreciated sirs! Best, Luis

Thanks!

Thanks for the advise! note to self: stay sober while building armor!

will the e6k start bonding in like 5 mins? (24 full cure) time is ok with me if it means a sturdy weld. Also will the use of clamps(plastic) mar the finish of ABS plastic? or do i have to use cloth or rubber between the clamp teeth and ABS? thanks for the replies!

How does the AP helmet compare to the MR lid in terms of fit?

Thanks for all the quick replies guys! how does e-6000 compare to plastic weld? i guess both are sturdy enough

Thanks darrel hey btw, will PVC adhesive work? I went to a nearby Hardware are they sell it pretty cheap, about $2 per 250ml cans. Are PVC piping and ABS plastic made of the same stuff? what i see on ABS glue usually works on PVC pipes too.. so will the latter work as well?
