stukatrooper Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 nice one mate,its about time you got back into armour.Do you still think you are getting your DL suits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf[501st] Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Wow you have a few suits 2 for display, 2 for trooping. + my wife is also a 501st, so she use them too as she likes. + i will give one to my son, if he likes one, when he gets older. I love all the figures in the old saga, but i only collect ANH stunt stormtrooper suits, and sandtroopers. So i seems crazy, but some in my garrison have even more, just different ones, like tie, snow, scout, vader etc. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf[501st] Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I'm stunned by how fast you trim these suits Rolf. Great work, as always. Thanks bro. I have been working hard on him again today. Cheack it out BAM!!! It took a long time to match the parts 100% good together, but now they are good to go. I tape them up from the inside to hold the shape, before i E6000 glue the strips on. This time i did not use clamps, because they can´t reach the middle of the parts. I therefor used a strong paint tape (it leave no glue on the parts, after taken off). I will let the E6000 glue dry to tomorrow, before the tape comes off.
