  1. alternative for ab buttons

    in Assembly, Mods, and Painting

    Posted

    thanks that will be a big help, helpfully i will be able to find the buttons somewhere in the house. you know what its like "I'll put that some where safe", then you forget where you put it :P

     

    yeah we have the paints from when we done my brothers, and i have a dremmel, so it should be easy to get the pins, even if i have to nick them from work

    hi, i have just started working on my armour (got it about half a year ago but worked on my brothers first and then stopped just after Halloween as work area was taken back off us) and i have misplaced the buttons that came with my fx kit. what is an alternative for this?

     

    i will be using the snap system that tk300 mentions on his site (http://www.tonybarnett.plus.com/) so i have the snaps for than (more than i need in the bag i bought) could i use them or would it be better with something else?

    Stormtrooper Canvas Utility Belt

    that's mine arrived today and they look amazing, thanks for them. although i should have asked for a wee bit extra Velcro on one (stupid brother being skinny :P) but i should be able to add that myself quite easily.

    now to just get the last few parts sorted out and we will have my brothers armour finished and can start on mine.

  5. question about the boots

    in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories

    I've just looked on ca boots for the stormtrooper boots and looked for the Chelsea boots (jodhpur boots) on some other websites. i am just wondering which would be the better option?

     

    buying the ca boots and spending almost the same as the boot if not more to ship them over here to scotland in less that 8-12 weeks quoted for standard delivery,

    or buying the jodhpur boots and whiting them up. the problem i have with the jodhpur boots is the websites i have looked at have the prices ranging from £30 to £1750, so i am not too sure what price accurate screen looking ones would cost.

     

    if anyone can direct me to either the shop or the website where they bought there's I'll be greatful.

  6. Trimming the legs

    in Assembly, Mods, and Painting

    had a look at the leg pieces again and still not sure how to trim. as trimming one side to the correct size means losing the v completely.

     

    had a look at some pics on line and have noticed that some people seam to have trimmed the back from the bottom of the v round so there is no v, others seem to have a shallower v. im not too sure if this is because of trimming or due to they have a different type of armour.

     

    would it be possible for someone to post pics of you legs for some reference on what we should trim it to look like.

  9. Question about shims

    in Assembly, Mods, and Painting

    Posted

    i have had a quick look at the leg pieces and i will need shims for them <_< , i am just wondering how i install the shims?

    looking at the first couple of daves garage vids i can see how he makes the leg pieces, but i am unsure if there would be enough room to add the shims after glueing or if i would need to Velcro in the shims before i start glueing.

     

    also i saw in other threads about using the belt plastic to make shims from but have been unable to track down any leather or canvas to replace it with, so am hesitant to use it, any idea where to get some sheets of plastic or where to get the leather/canvas? i have tried my local diy shops for the plastic and all they have are drain pipes so they are not suitable, and my local cloth shop only has canvas that i would need about 6 layers sewn together to get the correct thickness.

  11. Armour Partys?

    in Assembly, Mods, and Painting

    Posted

    i was just reading the 501st section of the new star wars magazine and they mentioned armour party's. is there any going on in the Edinburgh/Glasgow area? ill come along, even if the only help i am is to may the tea :P

     

    i am currently looking at making the rest of the amour and going back to the bucket later but have a feeling i will need some shims, but will need to check that out before i start doing anything.

    Hi my name is Graeme and I’m from just outside Edinburgh in Scotland. I have been a member here for about 3 weeks but have just received my amour so thought it would be a good time to introduce myself as I will most likly be on here every 2 seconds looking for help building it :P.

     

    I have tried to join my local garrison but due to the influx of applications since celebration Europe they have not got back to me yet.

     

    I have noticed with my kit, that the hand straps are missing and also all the screws mentioned in the instructions but here’s hoping that the person just forgot to include them, I have emailed them about it but it will probably delay the building a bit.
