firebladejedi[TK] Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Looks very good , are you going to heat up the bells and pinch them or leave them as they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK8280 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Looks very good , are you going to heat up the bells and pinch them or leave them as they are? for now, I am going to leave them as they are...me and heat guns don't get along very well , and my hair dryer just doesn't cut it so, rather than completely destroying my bells, I am just going to leave them alone for now at least.

Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 The AB plate after cutting an glue'n the buttons are drying...I know its not purfect, but I don't think any of the suits were I think it came out really well. Unless someone is a few inches away, I don't think anyone will notice. Cutting in to your ab plate is that extreme step that will separate the men from the boys - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobby fletcher Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 the best way to go about it is Cuting just enough to fold over 2 or 3 times the belt has a good look to it, and that is also strong. then measur your belt, lets say an accurate size ANH belt is 4 inch's wide for example, then make sure your canvas belt dosent go over 4 inchs ya get me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firebladejedi[TK] Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Heres how i made mine http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php...pic=665&hl= Gundamzeppelin, did you make your belt 4 inches wide for anh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby fletcher Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 It was an example, it's been a while since i have done a TK belt or TD shoulder straps. I think the size of my belt isnt bad at all. i might even do an all leather belt. I wish i had some HD ROTJ trooper pictures to post to help 8280's get a better idea of the look he is aiming for.

TK8280 Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 First off..my FX armor and AP helmet probably have to be re-painted (if I don't just go ahead and order a new set of armor)...I need to fill the screw holes in the ears, and paint them, which in turn will make me have to paint the whole helmet, then I will have to re-place the existing ROTJ decals with new ROTJ decals on the helmet including the correct tube stripes which are blue placed on top of a white back ground type of sticker not like the ANH ones were the blue stripes are individually placed...and after that, I have to buy a correct blaster which will run me about $200.00+...In the end, I will probably be submitting about 30+ photo's of every detail It is definately going to take me quite a while before submitting any photo's because i want to make sure that my armor has nothing wrong with it and nothing is left to question...I just want to really follow and help set a high bar for the ROTJ TK's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
