Welcome to the FISD!
-
I would love to do a clone, but those kits look like seriously difficult. I've got to build up my skills first. Maybe I'll wait until someone makes one of those Recon Scouts from the new movie.

5990
5 = May
99 = 1999
0 = Space filler
May, 1999 was when I met my wife and our first date. Yes, our first real date was at the TPM premiere.

All the more reason to not buy from Rubies.

Does your table use a single hole platen? I'm a little on the fence about which way to go.
I know next to nothing about Vac-forming, but I did attend a panel held by Spat at a local con where he went into his setup. He used a multi-hole pattern and it seemed to help.
just throwing that out there.

Have you posted this on either of the Legion forums? Contacted local garrisons?

The best thing I have found for any SW-Costume reference is the Visual Dictionaries

Really? my goodness! And I thought it was the UK ! ripping us poor troopers off!
Hmmm... just let me check on that exchange rate between the UK and the US again.

I can sit.. sort of. Getting back up is the harder part for me. Right now, the length of my thigh pieces don't let me gain leverage to stand back up.

Umm...so on the helmet teeth, how far do you cut them, till it starts its little hill, or before that...?
If you are using the kit I think you are (most TX kits are FX based) then when you cut out the teeth there is already a raised and lowered portion. Just cut out the lowered portion.
It really is up to you as to how much you want to cut out, some people leave them somewhat rounded. Whatever you think looks good to you.

I saw it last night. The action and the clones are awesome. We get real down and dirty in the fighting, Geonosis has nothing on these battles. Rex is a true bad-an impolite person, as is Cody.
There is no Jar Jar, but something close.
I really liked it, it's not an A+ but it really opens up A LOT of very interesting possibilities for the TV Series. Things can only get better, and I think the TV show will be A+ material.

I like how you curved and kind of sloped the "side-gap" piece. Makes it look more interesting.

I don't mean to revive a semi-dead topic, but where do you guys get your frown mesh and how do you install it?
I used some rubber window screen and super glued it in, but it looks horrible (It dried whiteish).
I bought window screen but I thought it was a bit harsh and I was afraid of scratching up my face, so I switched it out to a fabric mesh.

Not that it is really canon, but BF2 has classic TKs fighting a few months to a year after ROTS

I'm also looking for a good touch-up/match for the MRCE helmet. I really don't want to do a full sand down/paint on it, but I know I'm gonna need some kind of touch up for covering where I have to sand those pesky mold lines off.

Welcome, from a former Cali resident.

Great news, congrats!!

Well depends on what 1:1 scale is, I'm 6' 4", and he's a bit shorter than me...maybe around 5'9"...
5'-9" sounds right. I have one too, mounted on my door.

This topic reminded me of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0L99Q5xiMA
As for why Troopers couldn't hit the broadside of a Wookiee, never underestimate the power of the "plot shields"

Thanks for the help guys. After doing some searching, I think buying is going to be a pain right now. So I'll probably end up buying some off of one of you fine lens makers.
I'm trying to figure out how to actually make a lot of these things myself, so that I don't always have to rely on the sellers if a shortage should ever occur.
-
I feel this is kind of a stupid question, but I know there are people who know more about than me. I need some lenses for my MRCE and I thought about making my own out of the Welders shield. What are the different shade levels? Which ones are too dark, too light. Is Shade 3 the best one to use?

I had a similar experience at the con they were talking up their suit and its "cheap" price.I walked up in mt TK some people looked at it and looked at me and then came over to talk to me about my armor. "Hey your armor looks great" "better that that one!" .The dude at the booth gave me a dirty look I could see through bubble lenses. I was just comming over to check out the suit myself. ahhh well
I've heard of quite a few similar stories. Rubies reps were quoting suits that we all wear at upwards of $5k!

I went all grey, I'm not that big of a fan of the silver strips.

Work, work, work, work, work, work some more.
At some point, I may try to figure out how to best close my side-gap and fix my ab-plate so it pulls in more.
Also, I have to figure out how I can get myself a copy of COD4, because all I have to waste time online with is Halo 3.

Its an old fashioned saying, but it's true "You get what you pay for". If the price is so low and it looks to good to be true, it probably is.
