  1. Additional comparison picture added in first post.
  2. Wow! Great find Just for comparison, I just bought one for just a bit less
  3. Maybe I'm just build funny Will experiment tomorrow, but I'd rather not cut in the chest plate. I like to keep a bit of return edge. But maybe shorten the elastic between the ab and chest could help... Well, only tomorrow will show But thanks for the input
  4. Its as short as it gets. If I shorten it any more I wont have room for the snaps...or my neck!
  5. Hehe... Fun facts Well back to upgrading this thing. I really thought I had fixed the back/kidney overlapping problem, but when looking at the pictures from my last troop, they still overlap sometimes. At first I thought it was when I was standing in a funny angle, but I can see that it happens almost at random. Think the pictures speak for themselves! I will NOT hold my Centurion title and not do something about his! Therefore I think it might help by adding some plastic strips that will go over the elastic straps and I'm hoping this will imitate the effect of the brackets on the original strapping system. Any thoughts on this ?
  6. As theres a chance I might get rid of my Jedi-Robe/Stormtroppercostumes armour at an upcoming event, I took some pictures of the individual parts to show you all. Be adviced that this is after modding it for 501st, and this was before modding of the chest was added to the CRL. They are uploaded to-----------(also put link in first post) I will make a similar album with TM parts at a later time. Cheers
  7. More or less done now. Still need some proper hands, but thats it. ---------
  8. Youre so welcom. Glad it helped someone to avoid that sorry excuse of an armour
  9. I just seems like a strange marketing strategy, not to respond to the consumer... But I want the big gun!!
  10. I actually dont know why we call her Daisy... But maybe she likes the flower
  11. I will try And we call her Daisy
  12. Can try and take some pictures one of theese days with a ruler next to me
  13. No its not. They write on their website that you should contact them to get a shipping quote, and they are not holding it in stock, so cant just order the item like I did with my E-11. There are no problems with shipping when I order, I just cant get a reply from them...
  14. Thanks I'm 179cm and about 85-90kg(havent wighed myself recently).
  15. Weird... Maybe they just dont like Danes who want to buy DLT-19's
  16. As the title says, but its aparently impossible to get an answer from Doopydoo. I have tried their email from the webshop twice, and once from ebay. Have anyone had any luck in getting a response(not the automatic mails with order info) from them recenty?
  17. Taking it all by eye measurement, so there will be some deviation, but trying to get as straight lines as possible. Still by eye though But I believe I'm done now. Just need to go over the parts with some fine sandpaper to even out the edges.
  18. That was my conclusion as well, after looking at the blueray movie pics. But its nice to get a second opinion. Especially when its the same as my own Thanks. Think I will do the U-cut then
  19. Youre never truly done with your armour, are you? Well I'm not, and right now I want to remove some much needed return edge. Right now there are between 3-4mm some places 5mm return edge!! I want to trim it down to roughly 2mm so I have more freedom of movement. Startet on the shins In that process I also want to cut the back a bit and make the V shape to allow better movement. I have been looking at the Blue ray stills, and can see there are different types of cutting back there, so have to decide on one of theese two. I would like the left option,as this gives me the most space. Any opinions on this?
  20. Doopy dont send to Australia. Havent heard they wont send to the US, but good luck getting in contact with them. I have tried two times on their email address on the homepage and one more time over ebay. So far nothing. I want a DLT-19 as well...
  21. He is leaning slightly on the table right now, but I intend to fix the feet so he can stand on his own. Its almost done now. Still needs a few tweeks though. Mainly in the crotch area and the right arm pit. Also might need to remove or change some of the stuffing with a softer material. Its a real pain getting the thigs on. ---------
  22. Stuffed as good I can. Just need to make the last adjustments to the arms, and I'm ready to seal him completely. And maybe add an extra layer of duct tape. ---------
  23. Hehe yes indeed. Especially when you use a raincoat and trousers underneath the duct tape Stopped at the waist, and had my girlfriend help me with the rest...when she got home about 30min later(hooooot and sweaty). Its sooooo much easier when you have help!! I'm at the point now, where I will have to adjust the last things on the frame, and then just stuff the poor guy so he gets a bit bigger ---------
  24. Naaaah man. Its my new Silver Surfer outfit
