skywalker_1982[501st] Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I just noticed on ebay right now some guy has both hero stormtrooper suits and chewie available but I couldnt help but notice in one of the images he had a accurate version of the grappling hook so I dropped him a email this evening asking if he has any information about obtaining one.

scrappa[501st] Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 has any one got some pics of the box or send me in the right direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hate to dig up an old thread like this but heres a pic from another thread about cutting the kidney/butt plate that clearly shows the grappling hook. This looks like an interesting project. Hey Trooper master, whats the situation on your white ABS boxes that store the grappling line on the belt you mentioned earlier in this thread?

troopermaster Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I only ever got around to drawing the plans and dimensions, which I still have BTW. I was thinking about this recently and will use this box to house my speaker from my RomFX. I will get around to making some one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 And I'll have fist in cash for the first accurate set that becomes available. This and the space pack are the only two items left on my must-have list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManInWhite Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Ā Hope these help anyone looking to try their hand at making one of these. I know I'm probly extremely late on the subject and they are not of the best quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Those are excellent pics man, I believe I may actually be able to pull this off. I'll start working on the prototype at work tomorrow night. I know that I have everything I need at work except for maybe the spring, but I'm bound to find something. With any luck it may be possible when I'm done to swing across a gap with a princess in tow. I should be home around midnight 30 eastern time with pics of what I come up with.

ManInWhite Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I will try tomorrow to get a higher resolution on them. Was just messing around on the laptop and 1280x800 is the highest resolution available. Might be able to get 1600x1200 on my desktop (which is at my parents house since I get free cable internet there ) which will help when zooming in.

VaderDave[501st] Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hey Guys, Ā You might want to shoot RCB a PM on this. He is making a white one for my TK and a black one for my TX. You might be able to talk him into a run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsThatGuy[501st] Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Well earlier in this thread they talk about a guy that sells grapple hooks and boxes in Germany...well don't buy them - they are rubbish! I got one for Christmas last year....that thing cost $100 - and not worth but about $25... Don't waste your time... Ā I do however have an accuarte hook - and I have a box that goes with it - I will post pictures of the box later: Ā Ā Ā This is not for sale - it was part of a run from a couple of years back....

ManInWhite Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Looks very accurate. If you could post some more pics from different angles please, this would help me determine what would be best to use to make one. Thanks.

Amish Trooper Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Sorry to bring up an old question but has anyone tried this in the past few months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I really thought I was on to something with mine then I realized It was alot harder than originally thought, then I got wrapped up in blasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Trooper Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I really like the idea of the hook instead of the thermal detonator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naglium[TK] Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 i went to staples and picked up a package of "money clips"... they came 6 to a package, but i only needed two... Ā I'd be willing to sell the extra's to anyone interested. $2 for a pair, plus 50 cents for shipping... Ā Ā PM me if interested.. i only have 2 pairs left!

Murray1134[501st] Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Awesome pics. This really seems to be more visually interesting than the thermal dets on the butt. Seems relatively easy. Ā Has anyone else tried it out of ABS? Wood? Metal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
