im curious about this. how would you get them on...pull em over the head? Also would a ltex neck seal be super hot to wear? Not tryin to be negative, just curious as i may be interested in one when they are finished.

Lookin good troops! I have a question you may or may not know the answer to..lol...what scout armor does that scout have? Thats the first one ive seen that has that curve to the front, it looks very accurate to me.

Thanks guys! Im going to look into getting a more accurate one in the future, but right now i have the caps from my ATA, which fit a 2" diameter pipe. I had some left over PVC pipe from my sandy pack build, and just wanted to make sure i cut it the right length. Since the pipe i have is a smaller diameter than the screen used, im going to go with the slightly shorter length of 7" to keep the proportioning closer to correct. Im also going to need the clips for it...Jesse PM incoming!

Im just about done with my ESB build and realized, im not sure how long to cut the PVC pipe for the 02 canister/thermal detonator. Anyone have a measurement..im going for at least EIB, possibly centurion if i can, so i wanna make sure i get the size of this thing correct. thanks guys/gals!

Happy birthday Paul! keep doin what you do brother!

Makes sense...i do like the layout and think the blue in place of the red will look awesome. I also agree that even though i like th white, as we are stormies, i also agree it can sometimes be a bit much, so i like you mentioned a "lighter" version, not necessarily a white version for the future. I use firefox and it looks fine (aside form the misplaced logo you mentioned) and everything seems to work.

yea i do kinda agree with the white over the black for the FISD, BUT this layout works well, i like that the CRLs are all easier to access without going back to the home page. Like i mentioned before..if we change up the colors, i think this layout will work well.

thanks man..i was waiting to see what ya thought. Yea i noticed i did the over taper on some of the t tracks but was too lazy to fix it at the time. I just wanted it done so i can get this cleared and apply for centurion =) i couldnt afford a good holster so i made a semi nice one. My leather i had was a bit thicker than it should be and i didnt have a big enough piece to do it accurately so the front is riveted to the back, but hopefully it will clear for at least EIB. Ill post a pic later

Looks good to me, except the FISD logo is way small in the left top corner. I like this skin, its the same as the SLD, i thinkw ith the color changes, like the red to blue and maybe make the grey draker and the black a lighter grey(just a suggestion) and i think it would look great. Ijust think the FISD shouldnt have too much black as the TKs are mostly white of course. Just an opinion though. I like this layout alot!

Thanks Mathias! I made the T-track from some sheet styrene i had

Yep..you are correct. I discovered this when i was making fiberglass Friday the 13th hockey masks. I needed the longer posts for the thickness of the mask and the leather straps for the part 6 and 7 masks. I actually can use the shorter post ones for snaps on the TK as i attach my snaps to nylon webbing and glue that to the inside of the armor as it allows it to fit to the curvature of the armor

ok...i think this is done!

This is exactly why i would hope that they never would eliminate hasbro blasters from being accepted. As nice as it would be, its just not logical for certain places. I always encourage the pipe builds, but its up to the trooper. A well done Hasbro with mods looks great to the general public, so id see no reason to eliminate it. @naatsirhc- The hasbro with mods is only a few bucks cheaper than a PVC pipe build. and the pipe build looks 1,000 times better. I have a pipe build and will let the kids hold it..the same will hold true to a hasbro with a doopy doos kit and a pipe build....if it breaks, i fix it..why would it be any different? But again, i nice modded hasbro looks great to the public, so i wouldnt ever want the hasbro eliminated.

Looks like a blast! i gave up this troop to get the last of my orders cast so i can be done with them lol. I bet AJ is so happy to have that helmet signed! ...oh, Thats Kristen Sirota as Padme

What your seeing is the "centurion" requirements. All the requirements for all 3 levels of builds, standard 501st, EIB and Centurion, are together, but coded with colors. Black type is regular 501st requirements, blue text is EIB, red text is Centurion, which is even higher level of accuracy than EIB. But for standard 501st, modded hasbro blasters are still accepted.

I am the same height as you if i recall correctly from another thread. I cut a good inch and a half off the tops of the thighs. I didnt bother to re-add the return edge as its hardly noticeable there. Though i may in the future. I basically build my thighs so they go up high enough that my entire knee is exposed. the calves go up over the knee a bit so the spacing doesnt look bad. I think its a happy medium between accuracy and function. I also cut a notch in the back as you did. This being my 3rd TK armor build i think i finally got it so it doesnt give me those very bites you have there, which ive had lol.

i agree with everyone, Terry aka Pandatrooper, is a true help to newbies and veterans alike, and a gosh darn nice guy too! Way to go Terry!

i had one of these when i was a kid. Unfortunately my parents gave away or through away all my toys...ugh. Wish i still had mine, so cool it had the folding stock on it. Awesome piece, thanks for sharing!

The PVC pipe build is another kit from them. technically the PVC pipe is slightly wider in diameter than a real sterling,and the parts for that kit are modded to fit the pipe. The pieces to this kit would need to be modded to fit on a pipe..so youd be better off buying the kit of rthe pipe and save yourself some time/trouble

Roger that!

Cool..yea i like the textured paint! Yup for the t-track, if i do make them, i will likely heat and curve a piece of styrene first so it has the curve on it. Indeed i was planning on making it thin enough to go into the holes of the barrel! haha..ill weather th whole thing once i have everything as it should be. Oh yea, i found some flathead screws for the greeblies, so i replaced the flat/philips head screws with the flat head screws. Ya had to go and mention that didnt ya LOL!

i agree with Terry, satin in the way to go. Just for an FYI...i sometimes use flat black and put a matte finish clearcoat over it, it gives the same effect and if you have the flat black and clearcoat on hand, you dont have to go searching for a satin black paint.

Not a problem bud!

Troopers helping troopers is the way to go! Alex..they are packed up and ready to go Monday morning! Enjoy your journey to the dark side buddy!
