[lands end fulton chelsea?]

wearing mine at work today to break them in.

VERY nice boots.  

[Trooperbay has boots?]

looks alot like Caboots.

 

If you cant get TKboots - consider painting your own chelseas.

that angle almost reminds me of the Altman's TK

[Did "Star Wars Rebels" just bring back the FX helmet?]

It may be a cartoon, but you know someone will try to get one approved.

 

Kevin Weir is probably already working on the armor!  

[Did "Star Wars Rebels" just bring back the FX helmet?]

 

those TK's look like FX helmets!

is the trooper a very thin guy?  looks like the abdominal plate is overlapping the kidney?

What do you think of this one

 

---------------

 

 

with the code that shows at the top of the screen - you get $20 off and free shipping.

makes the total  $59.90 shipped to me in the US.

 

Is the rounded toe acceptable for EIB?  Centurion?

 

 

it looks much more rounded toe than the Bass

[TK Boots]

One word of advice that I followed from others who have bought these boots go a size down from what you normally wear. 

 

 

 

 

I agree!  I ordered my normal shoe size... it was WAY too big.

I went down a 1/2 size = fit perfect

[Armormaster NE Thighs, need a new set]

CA glued the same sides together. 

 

Take some pics to show us?

 

you might be able to cut them, then hide the repair with your coverstrip?  (depends how bad the mess you are left with after cutting)

 

 

 

also - LAST RESORT... assuming the pieces are going to be trash if it doesn't work or ruins your plastic -

I tested the second one on some ABS - when left overnight  it started to soften the ABS itself.  Have never used the top one, but might try it.

[mic tips]

Would the trooperbay mic tips qualify for EIB?  (they are all black, no nipple inside)

[mic tips]

Did you buy the set off EBAY Derek!!?? Those are actually not bad. You just need to paint them like Carl said.

 

Not sure which you refer on EBAY?  

I am wondering for instance on trooperbay - those don't have the little nipple on the inside and they are all black

*** DO NOT USE THIS STUFF ON ABS.  ****

it worked well to take the CA glue off my counter... but it started to melt the test piece of ABS i tested it on.

[mic tips]

Is the "nipple" portion on the inside of the mic tip a requirement for EIB or Centurion?

 

If so - are they required to be white?  or is black acceptable?

 

 

[Maxsteele's New NE Armor Build]

did you remove the return edge from the inner piece at the elbow? or did it come that way?

 

Regarding the trimming the closure at the back - I am thinking that taking some off of each piece would look better than taking it all off the inner piece.  I am interested to see what others think.

[Misplaced screws. AP.]

this one?

[Maxsteele's New NE Armor Build]

Maxsteele - I appreciate your attention to detail.  I can't wait to see how you approach the NE helmet!  take lots of pictures during your assembly and trimming.

[Trooperbay Shipping Wait Time.]

probably depends on what you order.

 

If anything needed to be customized (like a belt?) - it could take longer.?

Im just guessing

 

I have bought a couple things from him over the last couple years... always received in a bout a week

[NE helmet assembly help]

I'm just going to bump this?

 

Anyone?

[NE helmet assembly help]

 

here is a pic that has eliminated the step off, I am just not sure how?   maybe its just the brow trim covering it?

[NE helmet assembly help]

 

the above picture shows an example where too much was trimmed - leaving a gap

 

 

another example above of the step off /  ridge

 

[NE helmet assembly help]

 

here is the ledge or step off that I am talking about  (not my helmet - I copied that pic from another build thread)

 

Even with new longer ears, that will still won't be covered.

Perhaps it will be covered with the brow trim, but I would like it to sit flush.

[NE helmet assembly help]

I have seen that they changed the ears. So there is no more gap like before.

even with the new ears - there will be a step off right where the back meets the face plate. 

to minimize this the faceplate is going to need to be trimmed - this trimming is what I am seeking some guidance on.

 

Thanks

[NE helmet assembly help]

I have paged through NE build threads, but have not found a good picture of how / where to trim the face plate so that it will not leave a large gap or step-off above there ear, where the back meets the face.

 

Anyone have good pics of this?
