almost any surface can be polished with time and effort, even a turd its just an thought but is there a place around you that paints autos? i dont think it would cost very much to paint a set of armor just an idea

at my first unofficial troop (a relatives birthday at a swimming pool) i got asked if it was hot wearing my suit, i replied " yes i am dying in here, they have pretty good AC on the death star" it got quite a laugh from the crowd

1st: Congrats! Awesome armor you have there! > THANKS! 2nd: Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't have a TKID yet, right? I need a TKID for your EIB profile pic. (Unless Terrell agree to put your EIB pic without TKID.) >i am approved 501st but still waiting for my TKID 3rd: Fifth picture from top is OK for the profile pic? The helmet is fully visible and will fit in the frame. > OK, anything is fine 4th: Say hi to Brian Fong if you see him! will do (but he is quite far from my location) Cheers. BTW: I liked the pics with your son on it! ty lol

thanks guys it was a bit of work but it was a fun build, i im thinking of doing a ROTJ build next, now that i have some armor building experience

nice work! and good luck with acceptance..

i did all i could to keep my son out of the shots... but he got into a few. i did all these shots solo by a timer, least to say it was no easy task.. try working a camera with rubber gloves lol, i had to hit buttons with a pencil close up of weathering (the whole suit is weathered in this fashion) scuffed up and blackwashed helmet ( all hand painted, no stickers or decals)

i made up these pics LMK if there ok

"weilding a Plasma Canon just seems so much more bad a$$ than anything a TK Commander would carry!" that was one of the reasons i chose the INC as well, great to have another incinerator in the ranks!

the More Accurate build is finished, i made a storage container in the fuel canister for small items it also is ultra light weight.. im kinda sad to let this one go jk i will add some templates shortly

this is the second attempt and it is detailed much closer to the game, its not 100% done but really close the photos are bad lol

don't give up!! if a particular part of the build is giving you problems dont be afraid to ask for help, remember "there is more than one way to skin a cat". perhaps with the with the wealth knowlage here you could find a solution that works for you. Confucius says "It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop."

version 2 is going to be far more accurate and 1/2 the weight

i should have your flamethrower just about done by this weekend my new bandsaw has helped a lot so i am able to build a bit faster, also i think this next one will weigh considerably less than my first one ille get pics up for you in a few days good luck on your validation

one word... wait there is no words to describe that... just an action: DROOL

this is what my garage is giving birth to next bear in mind it is far from finished, i am still in the first stages of the build ... but this is the idea

here are the measurements and a parts breakdown for anyone that needs them unfinished barrel (cuts are the thickness of standard masking tape)

i think both shoulder bells should be worn most defiantly.. but i think the pauldron should be optional as the wrap around style is more accurate and unique to the incinerator, other troopers in the game with puadrons are more like sandtroopers rip from psp version

ive been thinking of this for a few years, but its kinda silly... i would like to scratchbuild a full scale Millenium Falcon that doubles as a lake house/camp. it would have a jacuzzi, bar, and tons of high tech gadgets,video games, awesome guitars... basically a man cave to end all man caves ive been planning this in my head for years but alas it will most likely never happen <_<

i use a mix of vinegar and 20 Mule Team Borax or (sodium borate) for all mildew problems. it also prevents it from coming back i had a bunch of my artists canvases mildew in my cellar, so i know it works well on canvas without changing the color like bleach also just plain vinegar works ok, but the sodium borate prevents the mold from returning here is the recipe i use ----------

great job on the pauldron ! the only problem you may have is the glue will not bond to the painted surfaces unless you remove all paint and primer from the areas you are gluing, if i were you i would trim all the parts then remove "ALL" of the paint from the seams/joints and re sand the areas before gluing. and paint all parts after it is fully assembled trust me.. if you dont your armor will fall apart as soon as you try to wear it the glue will bond to the paint not the plastic

no no! its from the newly remastered STRA WARS for dyslexic people

pretty much done i had a strap come undone on my back plate

sure.. no problem on the pics i just submitted my application for 501st yesterday. the LMO is reviewing my photos now

i got my vacuum former up and running and the first mold done just cant find affordable plastic yet. ive been using thin plastic FOR SALE signs for test pulls with moderate success
