DesTROYer[501st] Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Just got word from AP armour. My Suit is being shipped out this week, so I have decided to start my Armour update thread now. Tomorrow I will post pictures of my Workshop. The place where I will transform bumpy sheets of plastic in to a finely crafted suit of blaster proof armour. When my Armour arrives, week by week, bit by bit I will keep a journal of my progress. Fee free to chime in and offer advice and critisims. Cheers, DesTROYer "Cause you can't Destroy with out Troy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesTROYer[501st] Posted October 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Well I finally got around to taking photos yesterday, and actually got my helmet all together and painted as well, but the damn Camera USB lead has a problem and I can't get the photo's off my Camera Grrr. The only things left to do on my helmet now is to mount the harness inside, fans and affix the tube stripes labels. Speaking of which are there any measurements for exactly where the tube stiripes should be applied? They seem a bit long for where they look in the photos. Advice would be appreciated.

davej[TK] Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Well , I can report that Troy does in fact have a lovely workshop , and he does have have a box filled with lovely AP bits . The box almost got into my car , but I was intercepted before I could get away Hop to it Troy !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesTROYer[501st] Posted October 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Helmet is finsihed (besides inner lining and dirty weathering) and looks quite good next to my RT mod TK bucket. As I already have the afore mentioned RT mod helmet, I have decided to turn the AP into a TD bucket to add to my collection of Imperial helmets. Happy to report that it is not my camera that is faulty as I am able to hook it up to the TV and look at my pics, but the USB lead for the computer still wont work. I have managed to locate a new USB lead for my camera but have to wait till at least wednesday before i can pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManInWhite Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 run to radio shack and get a memory card reader, they are really cheap, i got a 52-in-1 for like $14. its alot easier to use than hooking up a usb cable to the camera (and in some cases powercord as well) and you also don't have to worry about your camera going dead on you when you are uploading photos while also being able to upload from other cameras who use other type cards.

DesTROYer[501st] Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 sweet i will go get one on thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesTROYer[501st] Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Well the USB card reader arrived and now as promised here are some pics of my Stuff. the bare bones. test fit. Cut out and re-assembled. Decals applied. Frown painted and temp aerators attached. I have since installed the lenses and tube stripes. Also I have painted the tears in with grey paint, as this is going to be a sandy bucket for display and I already have my RT Mod TK helmet. All that needs doing now is have a head liner installed so it is troop-able. But seeing as this is mainly for display, I'm in no hurry.

DesTROYer[501st] Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 A box of bits. The first armor pieces trimmed. but only the first of many. bibs and bobs. My messy work bench with my favorite armor making tools. The Scroll saw and bench sander. Thats all for now, though I have done much more work. Will go out and take some more photos soon. Hope you have enjoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
