DarkTrooper

Great job on the painting. I love my CAP-W helmet too (its a TX though).

I think you can change it yourself. There is an "edit profile" button at the top right when you go into your profile.

TX not CANON? Wait a minute we have our own detachment forums 501st Special Ops Detachment I started out first as a TX and still am. If the public start reciting the "Aren't you short for a stormtrooper" line (which they ALWAYS do) I say I'm not a stormtrooper, am a BLACKHOLE Stormtrooper One benefit of being a short TK/TX is that most of the time you'll be asked to be next to Darth Vader (if one is present) to make him look bigger

Soon leader I've been anxiously awaiting my upcoming armor project which is an animated clone trooper set of armor. I just got word a couple hours ago that it has finally been shipped. I should get it within the next week. I'll post of pics of my progress but most of the build will be on the clonetroopers.net forums.

I KNOW wasn't it

looks like we have ourselves another Rubies victim.

get contacts. I'm able to wear glasses in my CAP-W helmet. Foam padding placed at the brow area does help to push you head back a little to make room for glasses. Troopers with larger craniums unfortunately have less options when it comes to accurate helmets.

maker of things That maker of "things" has already been discussed numerous times on this forum. Please take a look around at the previous posts. Take your time to learn about the different armor makers. This hobby by all means is not one to rush into. As much we'd love to have you join our ranks we want you to purchase a quality set of armor. The search buttons works, I swear by it

phenomenal job Terry! That's a clean looking backpack for a TD j/k

AP build

True that. "Mando-ing" with spray painted NERF guns!

The first one is the "hardest". Piece of cake after that

TK-4510 sells the correct ones on his website. -----

"Apology accepted"

Well done. I think you'll do a fine job with the ATA. I eagerly wait for my set of WCA Animated Clone armor.

Ah man, I guess I ordered too early. Can't wait to work on another Hasbro conversion then.

Yep, with my first FX kit I ended up upgrading the whole upper portion (chest, back, shoulder straps, and shoulder bells). I looks way better.

i don't think CAP armor exist. Its known as CAP-W now, new "owner". Its been discussed in previous topics. Use the "search" function.

You won't have a problem with getting into the 501st. The 501st's standards are less than that of the FISD's EIB programs standards. 501st doesn't require rivets for a TK suit. The regular rivets you find at the hardware store will not crack armor. ABS and HIPS made armor will accept rivets.

yeah its been already covered here on FISD ----------

I too favor AP.

Sounds like you ordered a Rubies costume. Its wearable just not acceptable. Its not 501st acceptable.

Looks like an ESB blaster to me. Yeah, that holster is missing a chunk in the middle. I wonder if the person who did that with the intention of placing the holster on the right and also putting the blaster in so that the handle faces back.

I was hoping you would chime it Eric. I remember seeing your build posts and thinking if you were of similar build to our friend in need here. It can be done.
