TK-5695 reporting for duty! http://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=12974&costumeID=124

First troop, 6 1/2 hours. Armor bite from right bicep and armor bite from ab plate across my back. Feeling pretty damn good, had fun, more to come tomorrow!

Yep I looked at that and slapped my head! Oh well that is why they were attached with velcro, so they could be changed or replaced!

Found the image that made me mess up my handplates lol. I have this printed on my wall! ----------

Ah, sorry Rob misread lol. I have to attach them better to the Nomax gloves tonight so I'll switch them, thank you!

Thanks guys! The handplates are what came with my ATA kit and will be changed out when I can. I have to get non-latex ones though, the wife is allergic. I thought the belt felt low when I put the armor on, but didn't have anyone who had squired before to help out suiting. This is the first time the photographer had been this close to someone in TK armor lol!

Just need some trimming to be able to bend knees easier and some foam in the fore arm. ------- Wish me luck!

Star Wars related, 501st cast. Like it alright, only wish is they could get the sound levels evened out better. It drives me crazy when listening at work and I keep having to raise and lower the volume to keep it reasonable and not bugging my coworkers. I need to start downloading to my ipod and using headphones again.

As always great kit man! Can I ask what the antenna is for?

Just out of curiosity, are there any legitimate armor makers in Australia now? I only know of a few makers of resin parts for blasters and other props. The IP address this person posts from is definitely an Australian ISP's address.

Dash, how were the fumes from that? I reinforced the mic tips using sock pieces and glue and then painted the inside with Rust-oleum Painter's Touch Flat Black using a foam brush. No smell at all, but it does take a couple coats to cover, swab it on , wait 5 minutes so that layer is good and tacky and do another coat. I bought an 8 oz can and have 90% of it left over.

Ah coolness, thanks for clearing that up

Or if you need a place to host the file for free let me know. Happy to post it on one of my websites.

You might have luck finding the ear screws if you look for screws used for the cover plates for light switches. Then all you have to do is find a nut to fit them and you are good.
