You can never have enough wranglers/handlers/spotters/photographers at an event.
If you're looking for things to do until you get your armor. Just take a look around on here. Work on a belt, pick up a MRCE bucket and start modding it, find an E-11 to work on, get your boots (nothing like rockin' the white disco boots when you are not wearing your armor)...

When i put mine together i then used some filler to get a clean line then painted over, job done!
That's what I had to end up doing. Although you might want to place a shim inside the tube because I had a problem of the filler falling thru the gap and not always staying in place.

Rex looks great. I'm sure you'll be able to do an incredible TK.
-
Were those pulled from the Tour suits and the SE reshoot suits?
I saw some of the Disney TKs up close last year at Disneyland after CIV. Although I didn't know as much about TKs as I do now. The 501st suits look better IMO, the Disney suits look a little thin and flimsy.
-
I believe that is the diameter. It's pretty much standard sizing that will work.
-
1/8" try to get the ones with the white tops so that you wont have to paint them.

I feel your pain. I've been working on my TD Tube now for like 3 weeks now. I think I've put more thought and effort into this little tube than I did on almost any other part of the armor.
My problem is a gap between the two halves that is less than 1/8". This teeny tiny little gap has driven me crazy. I think I finally have gotten mine to look decent, not good, but decent.
What problems are you having with yours? I think an alternative is to find a standard PVC pipe that will fit into the endcaps and simply use that.
-
I know I picked ANH style for mine simply because that movie has the most reference shots available and the most close ups in the movie.
-
I've been looking for this as well. I've checked 5 different auto parts stores near me and no luck. If anyone has any or knows a good supplier, it would be most appreciated.

You got laid off on Friday the 13th? Man, sorry to hear that. Seems job security is a thing of the past. Where my wife works now is great, she loves here job, they think she's the best thing since sliced bread, but we still don't know how long she'll have that job. She knows her stuff better than a lot of the people who have been there much longer, but that doesn't seem to be a factor these days. It's all about numbers. Amt coming in must exceed amt going out where $ is concerned. If employee X happens to fall within the cut-off zone after the monthly accounting is done then that is the tough luck of employee X.
Keep a stiff upper lip. Life is a roller coaster. Sure, there are downs, but there are also ups!
Sounds really familiar. My wife was in the same situation last year. She unfortunately became expendable in the company's eyes.

Just had to say that I'm loving the new avatar. TK-MD, it's perfect.
-
I picked up a MRCE Helmet and I've started tweaking it. I'm still deciding on how far I want to go with it. The others on here have set the bar very high.
I'm thinking I might want to try a Hero style on it. Anyone know of good supplier for the bubble lenses to fit?
-
hang in there my friend...everything happens for a reason.
+1, you will find something better. It wasn't meant to be.

Glad to hear that you are okey. Get better soon and enjoy the meds from the Doc.

What's all that unaltered DVD thing about? What did I miss?
If you see any of the OT movies in single packages (not a box set that is) they contain as a "bonus feature" the theatrical version of the movies. It's not as good a transfer as the regular DVD, although you don't have to deal with Crazy Uncle George's digital changes and re-edits. And people may complain about it being non-anamorphic, 2.1 sound, etc. but it is still better color timed than the "Special Editions".
Has anyone watched the horribleness that is now the Battle of Endor space battle. The colors are awful and all over the place. Echo Base on Hoth is Blue! I swear there is a scene in ANH that has gone black and white.
Back on topic, I still have some of my original VHS tapes, however I didn't get widescreen until the SE tapes.
-
Wow, everyone's looking really good.
-
That really sucks. You should try to stay positive about it, just think of all the time you will have to work on armor.
-
I contacted RT about pricing and info, be patient he will get back to you. Like it's said above he might take some time to get back to you. He does travel a lot for his job. Pricing was pretty reasonable too.

Personally I'm not hip to FU troopers, but maybe a well done one in real life would change my mind.
Anyone have a spare kit to sacrifice for all of us?
I'm still really interested to see some of the TC paint jobs on TK armor.... not enough to give up on the pure white though.
-
I think I like them. I mean it's one thing for us to say "only regular stormtroopers" but we have to remember that the reason we're so attached to them is mostly that it's what we grew up with. Kids today are going to grow up with the new stuff they're seeing, and if the FU (which I love, btw!) become canonized, then they'll have a significant impact on the next generation of fans.
I agree that, intended or not, it seems to represent the death throes of individualism in the trooper ranks. It works well as a transition.
Don't get me wrong, it looks strange to me, but I think there's potential there.
And, not to open a hornet's nest, but it would be ten times easier to paint a color scheme on my TK suit than to figure out a TC suit. I love the look of a battle-damaged color scheme.

I like what he said. There are all kinds of options for what a supposed trooper armor would look like as the clones switch over to TKs. I'm sure some of those original clones might still put some custom paint on there armor. Has anyone ever tried some of the TC paint jobs on TK armor?

Not only is this an amazing rebuild, but it's also a terrific resource for anyone building a helmet from now on.
Amazing, simply amazing.
-
Looks really good. Keep us updated and where to send the funds when it's completed
-
I you can also build it from the toy section at Wal Mart for a 10th of the price.
Are you just going and getting any random voice changer and gutting it? I want to put sound in my helmet, but I'm on a budget.

A gap between front and back is normal, it's covered by the ears.
I have ABS glue on the back piece holding the dome on.
