i have the same issue.. i am planning to put some Velcro backed foam pads from a bike helmet in the back to even it up some

if you can find this it is about the same, just dries a lot faster it also is "amazing", it says so on the tube i also have a unopened tube of e6000 that i dont need if you want it i can mail it over -----------

fantastic!!! loved the jabba do-do

i just landed a job as an illustrator for a small publishing company im going to do it part time until i get my electricians license, or possibly full time if it goes well... anyway.. does anybody out there know of any good online resources or books for this type of work ? this is completely new to me i am going to be making a few childrens books for charity to start out with... Dr Seuss style stuff im kind of exited lol!

great man! ille get you those pics soon, i have been studying for 2 exams for school... so ive been a bit busy

i am using plumbers goop , 2 part epoxy (for ridged parts) and hot glue for reinforcing the other 2 glues and tacking oh and also super glue

thanks man! the drummers i usually play with dont care for star wars music ive been looking for more imperial beats to jam along with on my axe. great stuff!

since the topic is weathering.. what about the ICN? there is definite visible weathering on the armor in several areas.. namely the ab and belt, back plate details and the helmet.. around the ears and brow... but the CRL states : "Armor and paint should be lightly scuffed, but not weathered" IMO it should be : Armor and paint should be lightly scuffed, and lightly weathered the armor on the screen caps looks like it has been blackwashed, i mean it has been through many fires

thanks guys! this helps a lot

just dont cut all the way through the foam or red fabric, the black fabric is really thin, and it is glued to the foam inside, i ran mine under hot water to loosen up the glue then carefully cut a slit in the black fabric on the underside of the pauldron. you will need to peel the black fabric off the foam. then you can insert the plastic if you want more pics i can post them for you

looking at the rotj screen-shots i can see the torso has no rivets in the sides connecting the ab armor to the butt/kidney, like anh/esb clamshell setup my question is... is there straps holding them together or does the belt hold the parts? also i cant seem to find any pictures of ROTJ strapping anywhere does anyone have some pics for reference? advice? thanks

i masked off the chest armor and just used some ripped pieces of paper to mask off the heavily damaged areas then airbrushed with the same black/red mix applied the door trim and glued it in place with plumbers goop (best glue ever IMO, besides super glue ) tip: the trim may buckle when bent too much, a few drops of super glue will fix that... finished chest armor next i will door trim the rest of the armor

i got tired of running from my workshop to my PC every time i needed to look at references for the paint scheme so i made these full page printable reference pages with various angles of the armor and helmet (i also added a pic of the masking details) hope this helps

i was going to say that also i love my ATA helmet, taste great less filling oh wait that's miller ... looks great less $$$

it would be sweet if it were adhesive to prevent bleeding. but not to sticky as to remove the paint underneath (assuming it is a painted helmet like ATA) it took a while to do it by cutting 1/8" automotive masking tape strips then trying to line them all up but it worked well with an airbrush

thanks! i was worried i might have glued it on upside down

i started joining the but/back pieces, is this the right way? i thought the back peice may be upside down... hard to tell from the screen caps i joined using a strip of white rubber and hot glue i want to make sure its on the right way before i finish trimming and reinforce the hot glue seam permanently

i got this screen cap from the force unleashed 2 cinematic trailer it clearly shows the door trim on the but piece of a regular trooper <_< it was the best screen cap i could get but it is clearly there

i joined using a strip of white rubber and hot glue i will reinforce the hot glue seam permanently soon as i come up with a good way of doing it

i highly suspect it is a problem with your service.. i have used RR broadband for several years without many issues (except for several dead cable modems) it could be your modem is failing. try unplugging your modem for 5-10 mins. when i start getting any type of reoccurring connection issues i just pull my modem and return it to the local RR office for a new one. i think ive done this about 6 or 7 times lol. and it always fixes the issues... if you're using IE. There's your problem. Switch to Firefox or chrome it could also be malware or a browser hijack but troubleshooting is hard without knowing the systems specs. also if you have an old Motorola modem they are total trash and (technically) its not really the modem, its the dns server failing to recognize your mac address. a new modem will have a new mac address, thus fixing your connection issues

thanks!! i am just about to start my arms this should be pinned for us first timers great work

my ata ears did the same thing i think it took a few tries to get them to fit. but this is what i did. i removed the bottom screw and put some plumbers goop on the inside edges of the ears. then i clamped them like this after a few hours of drying i had to re-drill the bottom screw holes, but then they fit perfectly i also put some hot glue under the ear to reinforce the area around the bottom screw

yes red is cheaper because it is not as popular supply and demand i guess. just send an email they make a nice red pauldron also remember to prep the areas to be painted before you paint i wash with soap and water, rinse, sand the area with 400 grit sandpaper. then use spray primer, if you dont do this, the paint will just fall off eventually also automotive paint is very good... but remember to test any paints you use on a scrap piece of plastic first... some chemicals can react badly with plastics

great!! another ICN i used cardinal red acrylic craft paint (there are no hobby stores in my area for model paints) it was a little too light so i mixed in a little black to darken it. but i think your armor is ABS so i would use model paints if you can find them i wouldn't use a brush personally, but i used a small hobby airbrush to apply the red markings on the helmet and it worked good. as for the deflector box issue i already asked the same thing lol read all the other threads in this subject as for the pauldron.. i tried to make one but i cant sew to save my life, so i bought a custom red one HERE it was only 18$ us, (just email the site and ask for a red one) and i modified it to look more accurate (see my easy pauldron mod thread) welcome aboard

oh no lol.. i just noticed the possible problem and just gave advice based on what i have learned over the years, if down the road something happened your helmet, i would have felt guilty for not telling you my opinion. better safe than sorry... mason
