  1. The new series will visit the space colonies known as side 7 where he will find a new type of stormtrooper being developed. THE TK-78-2 GUNDAM STORMTROOPER!! In actuality this is a April fools joke that is the combination of my love for Star Wars and Gundam. It all started when i saw on Reddit that a artist had made some Gundam TK’s from a model kit and it gave me the inspiration to do this. https://m.blog.naver.com/kunyho78/220594569300 My old Tk costume, that has taken me up mountains, but is now nearing the end of it’s useful life was gladly sacrificed for this passion project. The hard part has been keeping it a secret for over half a year since i finished the costume in October. Trooping this costume this weekend and i intend to have a laugh.
  2. Taken the bait because stefan is quite literally making me pull my hair out over his stance. Lets see how this backfires on me I just don't think that someone who has the position of chief armourer in are garrison should see a well known maker recast another makers work and go. And? Like it's nothing. Because it's not.
  3. Moved to behind closed doors while the command staff talk about it. So it has been removed till such time as they make a decision regarding it. This is all a bit of bombshell, can't believe he would do it.
  4. Thanks will avoid. Had hoped with them doing the legend they might of done a budget version. I think i will treat myself to a nice TM helmet.
  5. Just a quick question in the same theme. What is everyone's thoughts on the new EFX stormtrooper helmet that they are bringing out. Not the legend one but the other one. Link below: http://www.toy-palace.com/product_info.php?info=p7660_SW-A-New-Hope-Stormtrooper-Helmet-1-1-Replica.html Is it just a re hash of the old MRCE or is it different?
  6. Requesting 501st clearance This is me. http://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=11939&costumeID=1
  7. Thanks for the advice. I used the above method and i had no problem. Instead of primer i used silver and applied it with short light coats till it was completely covered. No reaction, nothing.
  8. Thanks for that. Would fairy liquid work (i.e. washing up liquid)?
  9. I thought it best to ask since i am tired off messing up whenever i try and paint a doopydoo kit or part. My question is this, what do i have to do to the resin parts before i can paint them? I ask because as stated above the paint reacts with something and causes me to get mad at it. Thanks in advance.
  10. That's excellent, thank you for the information.
  11. Going a little off topic but might i ask what is used for the barrel tip on a ROTJ blaster?
  12. I can say quite honestly that AM armour is great. I've almost finished my set. Two more straps on the shoulder bells and that's it. As has been commented it has nice thick plastic and the detail is lovely. Also with all the extra bits they give you you can go either ESB or ANH or even SD Can't say enough about this armour.
  13. The cantina band music is what i normally hum when i'm working. No idea why and i've been doing it for years but at odd occasions i will just start humming it. First ones great, second ones just plain wired.
  14. Great thanks for the information what is exactly what i was looking for measurement wise. It would be ACE if stomper did the rail and scope since i've only been able to track down one supplier of them on ebay of all places.
  15. Might i ask what the width of the T track is on the rotj blaster as it appears to be wider than the standard T track.
  16. It's blank on the back. I got curious and pulled it out very carefully from it's slot so as not to damage the box.

    Ebay neck seals

    Thanks for the warning about the above auctions. I really should stop looking for stormtrooper bits and bobs on ebay as it's all turning out to be rubbish disguised as quality. Thanks for the suggestion Smitty i'll send him a PM to find out.
  18. I was wondering if any of these neck seals where any good or are they junk that will fall apart on me after a single troop. First one is from: Costumebase Stormtrooper neck seal ebay auction The second is from: Nikkimat http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Stormtrooper-Costume...=item2a0417dbf9 And the third is from: customprops stormtrooper neck seal auction Thanks for the help since i am serously looking for a neck seal at the moment.
  19. That one got me and i asked the maker about it. It's meant to come together in a similar manner to the ab plate so that there is no gap and so that it reduces the amount of black showing. Of course it's entirely up to you but that's what i'm doing with my set.
  20. Thanks for the cog which arrived in the post today. I'll save it for something special Again thanks for doing this
  21. I've got a ATA lid and i can fit my head into it with my glasses on.
  22. Thanks for doing this. I hope i was in time to get a cog
  23. I got mine today and have just had a flick through. Lovely book and i will put it aside for tomorrow. Thanks.
  24. RT-Mod is for the taller trooper or so i'm told. I'm still quite new but there worth a go.
  25. I would love a signed copy. Just let me know when you want the money sent.
