Dennis[TK] Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) So it begins! I have bought the TM stunt set and are ready to start building... Also paid the trooperbay a visit and ordered some extra stuff so I can make a centurion better do it right to begin with right So many parts Started to tape so it would be easier to cut the overlaying plastic Start cutting big thanks to TS-4037 from Nordic Garrison for the risky job Thats a lot of plastic!!!

darksideemt Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Just fyi, the wand on the dremel makes life a lot easier. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troopermaster Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I've never seen tape used like that before. Any particular reason for it? Scissors can cut the 1.5mm ABS easily. I haven't found the need for a Dremel with this plastic, so be careful with it. And, as Travis said, the wand is very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 As Paul said, scissors are very usefull! I trimmed more or less my entire kit with Lexan scissors. Search around and you should be able to find them cuite cheap. Think I paid 50-60 DKR for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geaux Saints[TK] Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 One of the most rewarding parts of my build was hand painting my helmet. I highly suggest it. It looks so good when you're done. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis[TK] Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Question... If I am going with an DLT blaster... do I still need a holster to get approved 501st membership? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Tha Question... If I am going with an DLT blaster... do I still need a holster to get approved 501st membership? Thats a good question, as the DLT and E-11 are both an option not a must, even as an option as I read it you still need a holster but I would shoot the DO a pm Locitus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis[TK] Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I think the option is that you can choose while you are trooping not to wear a holster if you are going with a DLT... but for membership you need to post with a holster... because it would be canon not to wear one with a DLT... seen in ANH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) I was on a waiting queue for a long time for my holster so I just bought 15 SEK of black synthetic fabric and made a holster for the application and the first troops. It took me one hour to cut and sew along the diagram on this thread. It took me 2 hours to convert to metric units though. It's not tough enough to hold a blaster, and I didn't have any at the time. So if you're going with a dummy holster just for screen accuracy while you'll troup with a DLT, it's something to consider.
