ELP Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 ATA - Awesome! I didn't know there was a black option there. Mind you people could fill a book with what I don't know ... and they have. Now how did I miss your initial post, regardless thanks for pointing it out. I look forward to lookin' at all the cat/build pics and hearing about the building of your own Grand Army of the Republic ... Sounds fantastic!

DarkTrooper[TK] Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Yes ATA & CAP-W pull suits in black HIPS. I have kits from both and they are very similar IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to post over at the spec. ops board: http://www.501stspecopsdet.net/forum/index.php?/index actually if you do some crazy math you can figure out the cost of that 22 year old cat. let's see. at .50 cents a can of food, adjusted down from .80 cents to cover the variation in inflation on cat food prices: 2 cans of food ave. per day x 21 years. plus .75c for bits of human food during each day. daily adjusted cost: $1.75 per day. 8,035.32837 days times 1.75 per day equals: $14,061.8246475 so she's almost the 15,000 cat.

Quebectrooper Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Ok so i didn't know ATA made black kits. Pretty nice. I wanna get a white Vader suit. Now how you gonna make it shine ? Clear coat ? Edited January 26, 2011 by Quebectrooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I have wet sanded most of the kit, and I'm just waiting for the correct temperatures to paint black and then paint clear over that. will take several days to do. I've been tacking it with rubbing alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defiance7x13[TK] Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hey Vern, you might have mentioned this before, but are you going to make this kit a nova or nova elite? Or are you sticking with the good old Blackhole Trooper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 this is just the jax version of the blackhole. I have a BFG and pouches and pauldron... so I might make it just a little more fancy? all black lid, and no silver details at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnnfr72[TK] Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hey Vern! Can't wait to see pics when you're done with Blackhole. I was reading the previous posts and saw your cat - math. That's some good stuff!!! My brother and his wife have 5 cats; I can't wait to show them the cat math!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure you remove the pouches for the profile and approval pics, bro. You can troop in them all you want, but there isn't a reliable reference for the pouches to be "officially" approved yet.

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I have been very busy building holsters and blasters... my own armor always takes a second seat to other troopers! I am very happy to be a member in these locations! there have been lots of problems in my own personal life in the last few months that have taken almost all my personal time... yeah... I'd love to have your opinion on my armor as soon as it's completed. it's raining, and has not really been hot enough to get a clear coat to cure! when I get better weather for paint, we'll get er done! I am a clear coat, a set of dyed boots and a belt away from making the blackhole a reality! your advice on the pauldron, and pouches is excellent... I'll follow that advice!

Defiance7x13[TK] Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Sorry To hear that brother. Its never easy to loss an animal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 22 years with a single animal is like watching a child with cancer... you KNOW you're gonna lose them... it's just a matter of how, and how long it's going to take! I can easy remember worrying about her 10 years ago... and she lasted strong for another 12 freakin' years. her last 4 days were the toughest. she's with the lord now... and it's still hard a week later. every day I think about her. so now the other animals in my life have started to take up the slack... my 3 year old male has been paying a lot of extra attention to me these last few days... with wondercon planned and paid for, at least I have one massive troop to attend!
