CRISTONAMO Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 MK II? Are these updated MC moulds? Sounds awesome good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osbjdawg[TK] Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I bought from a vetted seller and that was how it was labeled. They said there were some changes so maybe that's the MK II. My advisor in our garrison has the same armor, the older version, and so that's what I got. Now I just got to get started. A little overwhelming opening that box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjosey33 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Can you guys help me. I really want to get started with a stormtrooper costume. Where do you order them from? Are there different types? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osbjdawg[TK] Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Did some sanding on the pieces i have trimmed. The "tabs" for joining need to be cut back, but i wanted to hold off and see how i did on my first cuts. Here are some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osbjdawg[TK] Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Shins are killing me. They match up in the front, but off by an inch in the back. Guess I'm gonna have to do some bending. I'll post pics tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISBEAR[501st] Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 You are using the overlap method right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osbjdawg[TK] Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 No. I'm going to use cover strips. I just haven't trimmed the ends yet. Just wanted to line them up to see how they looked before cutting any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osbjdawg[TK] Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Been offline for a while. Got a lot done. I've been looking for the post of how to attach the armor belt to the canvas belt with snaps. No luck. Any help is appreciated. I'll post pics as soon as I get a new computer. I think I know, but would like to double check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osbjdawg[TK] Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Need lenses and S- trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacho[TK] Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Looking good. How do you plan on attaching the lenses? Look into Sugru, very easy to work with. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khazid[TK] Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Cover strips.. 15mm arms, 20mm legs, 25mm back of shins? I know I saw it on here but can't find it again. Thanks.Arms 15mm front and back. Legs 20mm front and the backs should be the same width, but sized for comfort. The most common for the backs of legs is 25mm.
