Yeah I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you on that one. This thread actually prompted me to pull out my half finished SR props that i bought two years ago and finish it. I don't know if it was just mine, but it was a mess. All of the pieces were completely warped and needed EXTENSIVE clean up and heating back into shape. It also had some pieces missing, no I didn't lose any. I'm really looking forward to my Resin Pipe build after that mess. Electronics wise it's probably better, but honestly I really wish I wouldn't have bothered on buying it.

I've been out of the exercising loop for quite some time as life got in the way, but now with new armor on the horizon, I have to get back into my Trooping weight. I started 3 weeks ago Monday at around 226. I don't generally go by weight since I usually put on more muscle when exercising, but I know that a weight of around 200 is going to be a lot better for fitting into my suit. If i can get lower than that then it'll be awesome but as of now my target is 200. I've done this before and it usually doesn't take me that long, but usually I'm dieting extremely strictly and working out like crazy six days a week. This time around I'm taking it a bit easier. I hope to get to my goal in the next three months. It took me 52 days last time, so I figure with an extra 40 days I should be good. As of this week my weight is 223. I'm working out five days a week in the morning, for now, to see what it's like. If I'm too tired, I'll switch back to nights. My diet consists of eating around 6-7 smallish meals throughout the day. Eating only whole foods, no protein or other supplements. Exercise consists of a Five day regimen. Each day I focus on one muscle group. Mon- Chest Tues- Back Wed- Shoulders Thurs- Legs Fri- Arms I'm only throwing biceps and triceps together so I have a five day workout instead of the six. Might be nice to have the weekend completely off. After three months I'll switch this up. I'll be updating my progress on an irregular basis or when I feel I've accomplished something worth posting. Wish me luck!

As much as i love the way the TKs came out, I would really love to wear one of those bad boys around. Looks awesome!!

No, that's not a light saber in his pocket, Lord Vader's just happy to see you.

Looks terrible. You should send it to me for further inspection.

I recommend grabbing some Line 24 snaps off ebay. I bought 200 for around 30 bucks the other day. WAY cheaper than ordering from Tandy. Tandy even charges an arm and a leg for shipping. I think i paid a couple of bucks for mine.

Scope looks hilarious.

Those same boots were posted here by someone else. 30 bucks on amazon. Says free shipping there too. http://www.amazon.com/Bass-Mens-Amsterdam-Ankle-Boot/dp/B003TFEVN0/ref=pd_sbs_shoe_2

I used this for sizing my strips. -

You can talk to JoeR or SSkunky here on the FISD. They've got some really nice CfO armor they've been making lately. I've got my eye on a set for a future build for sure.

Not a problem. I've got a couple of short noob prospects in my garrison so I've been researching solutions.

ABS? HIPS?

I wasn't sure so I got the nickel plated. I'll grab a bag of the brass ones and post pics when I receive them.

I was able to source some 8mm Head Split Rivets and Washers. What do you guys think?

What all these guys said plus this -> http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=Men%27s+3-layer+2.5+Inches+Height+Lift+Insoles

It took me 2 months to do my first one. I was working on it by myself, though. With some help it definitely can go faster.

Looks good. Not sure about the quality on these things, but for 30 bucks it's not a bad deal at all.

Really, dude? With all the information I've given you on the FLG boards and an open invitation to PM me about anything and you post one of these? /facepalm

Sorry guys, forgot about this thread just a bit. If anyone wants to add me, you can find my email here: http://scr.im/2dd8

Nice job!

There's someone who's trying to get that done on our garrison's boards. Torment the LMO chimed in with this:

They're 60mm fans.

Nice advice, Vern. I'll be working on this in the next few months and really wasn't looking forward to bending some metal. This is going to make it much easier.

Happy to say that I was able to get in touch with Kevin. He's taking orders now until Thursday to be shipped out on Friday, so anyone who needs a set or two should send over their PP asap.

I'm happy to say that with the help of our XO for my squad we're at just 1 FX bucket left that's being replaced. Honestly we couldn't do it without ATA's help. His armor has really made having an accurate suit accessible to more people.
