A lot of us agreed that she does fantastic gaskets, but last I heard we were going to attempt to make our own to keep cost down. Im sure we'll have a chat about it at tomorrows meet-and-greet

Delete scene showing Phasma killing other TKs, but more importantly, we found more screen time for the TLJ TKs!

I'll keep an eye out for the next big discount, blaster looks great

Is Anovos the only ABS version currently planned?

Thanks guys!

Found on facebook by a fellow member of my local garrison http://www.tkusa.net/index.htm ---------- Thoughts? AP recast?

They've got until September 21st before they're behind their quoted deadline. Not likely, but there's a chance we could start to get them by then.

looks black

Unless it stays low, I dont plan on bidding. Already have ATA, though Id like to get one I dont have to paint.

Listed at ATA armor, though hard to tell http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stormtrooper-Armor-kit-501st-ready/231964228362?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D36892%26meid%3D815c9f1502a74b1483ec43b162a487da%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D222139895481

Interested, DOP

I normally wear 11 myself, so I ordered the 11.5, length wise was spot on, but they got really narrow towards the tip, and are painful to walk around in. Now looking to see if I can find any 12's stateside. If you have wide toes, I'd grab the 12's. Worst case, you run thick socks or add inserts.

When I got my boots last month, I found I had to send 2-3 emails for every one replied to. Like when I asked for payment received verification, it took a few emails before I got a reply. Also, received conflicting emails (as in "your boots were shipped yesterday", and then a day later "your boots are going out today"). However, the quality is fantastic, and despite the ok service, Im glad I ordered them. I ordered a 1/2 size up, and found them a bit narrow in the front, and glad I upsized. I look forward to all the trooping I'll get out of them

Fantastic job guys!

If so, you could always contact ATA and get replacement parts. I just got a new kidney plate from him a few weeks ago

I've been having communication issues over the past 2 weeks with him as well, so you're not alone (yes, using the email above). I like to think that my boots have been shipped...

Congrats!

Ammo boxes look very thin, but good enough to gain basic status. Is the right shin backwards?

I just bought ATA recently (arrived a few days ago!). I had read both pros and cons, and found that the price was worth the quality. I own an AP helmet, which funny enough, the ABS is thinner than the HIPS of the ATA (though is probably more durable. Id like to reinforce the main pieces in the future, just incase. But if you do have an accident, you'd probably want it to happen in a "cheaper" armor, incase you need to replace a piece, pieces or the whole thing. Both rule as kits though..

Almost there!!!

Anyone know if I can put down the decals and then spray a gloss coat over them? Or should I spray the gloss first and then put the decals on? The Gloss could put a nice layer of protection, but could messup the decals... Fixed the teeth and almost done with the chin, finishing ears too. Plan is to have everything built by Sunday night for a car show (matches the car ), then sanding at 1500 before a gloss coat.

Honestly, it was too pale for me, and seemed to have a slight grey tint to it. Even after polishing, I think it would have looked better had I painted it a bright white. It might not be as accurate as a real helmet, but I think it looks better (so far anyways).

A good update. Waited a good week for the white paint to dry properly, and started hand painting the frown and chin. Not a fan of hand painting, too easy to make a mistake, and im prone to do so. Anyways, the pics. Fresh Paint Masked and painting Chin Now need to detail the teeth and fix the errors.. Chin is getting better Thanks for looking. As usual, please give me feedback, good or bad, on what I need to do.
