2155TK

thanks a lot for the advise Darrel! yes, i agree my wife would kill me if i used it on her china!

I have a friend in the local outpost suggesting that i use only industrial velcro when assembling my thigh,calves,biceps and forearms.. no glue on either side.. he did it with his AP and FX armor without having any problems. He said the main reason is you might want to adjust the fit of your armor in the future. I seemed a bit skeptical as all the tutorials on armor building that i've read require a bit of glue to hold two pieces of TK armor together.. I've read some guys even glue their thigh pieces/biceps on both sides. Will all velcroed thighs,calves hold during a troop even if I.Velcro is used? What do you guys think?

is plastic weld the brand name? or do i look for a certain brand of plastic weld? How long does it cure?

is plastic weld available in Home Depot? any brand suggestions? i couldn't find any at my local hardware.help pls! thanks!

Hi, is there a How to make your own ANH leather holster? i kinda need the measurements as i'm sewing my own

Great mods! Is that an FX body kit? Howd you mod the ab plate to make your belt go higher?

Hey guys what brand silicone should i use? is there a certain type i should get? the flexible kind? How about the flexible caulk?

Gatorade huh?? Great tip!

thanks Billy. Still...can't.........decide... Both look good!!!

Hey guys i've seen a number of boots around and i'm planning on having a pair made. I'm just confused on what type of white leather i should use? should i use the shiny leather? the type where i don't need to shine it to make it look like a mirror.. or just the standard matte leather that i can use some neutral shoeshine on? the shiny one's do look good when worn together with shiny armor, but i think the matte finish is more movie accurate.. what do you guys think? I've never seen CAboots up close, are they shiny?

Thanks for the links and replies guys.. Awesome help! The FX sure needs a lot of work! But i'm also into scale modeling, so i'm gonna enjoy every minute of modding my armor!

Geniuses! thanks for the tips guys

I'm planning on building my thermal detonator with money clips to attach it to my canvas belt.. the reason being i'd like to remove it from time to time during troops in case i need money,cards etc.. but i read on on TK-1536's site that the thermal det causes scratches on the back piece of the armor..and i thought how could i prevent this? I thought i could easily make my canvas belt a double layer so that i could prevent this, but seeing that if i have to re-attach the TD back to its original position i might have difficulties trying to get it back on because i can't see where to re-attach it properly i could ask a fellow trooper to place it back on, but i was just thinking on how you guys do it.. Quoted from his site: Thanks for the help! Luis

Geez guys thanks for the TONS of help..really i'm still a newbie though on the modifications.. what exactly are the return edges? how do i do it? or do the foam mod like colin's? sorry for the newbie questions!

Hello! i've heard about the inaccuracies of the FX armor (minus the helmet).. but at the moment an MRCE bucket and an FXlite kit is all i could afford.. i'm currently in the building stage and would like to know what parts of the FX kit should i replace to make it a bit more accurate for a ANH TK. i know the shoulder bells are to be replaced..but what other mods do i have to do or replace? i was thinking of getting replacement parts thru AP. Thanks for the help! Luis

hey thanks for the replies! i'm off to get the white velcro..any brand suggestion btws?

what color would be best? white? yeah i'll be doing both the snap and velcro method! thanks

Hey guys i'm heading over to Home Depot to get some industrial velcro. Thing is how much feet/rolls do i need to assemble my FXlite armor? Do they have black or white colors? Thanks again!

Thanks! i'm 5'8 as well! the armor looks great on ya!

thanks for the info!

That rifle is Da BOMB!

That neckseal looks great bro! Would you mind sharing on the material used and how you sewed it together? did you place foam or something in between then sewed straight lines to make the ribbing? thanks! Luis

The armor looks awesome bro! Btw, what's your height?

Great work on this one! btw, how much did you get for the whole AP armor? if prices are hush hush, can you please give me a PM on how much and where you got it? thanks!! Luis

has anyone tried this voice amp? --------- Thanks for the heads up! Luis
