Brattie's AP Build and Journey to The 501st
TK 2759 replied to Brattie's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
I miss fanexpo! Hope to make it again next yr... <br><br> On a side note, Halloween costumes are out, found a costume at value village with the one way mesh for the face ($13) for costume, but you'd need to cut out the face from the hood and install into your Jawa hood.., it'd be breezier than what you have now, my opinion (only real way to tell is to try it out). <br><br> Just a heads up -
From the CRL....<br><br> For level two certification (if applicable):<br> Folding stock (does not need to function).<br> A real or replica ammo counter - based off of a Hengstler counter - shall be present.<br> D-ring mounted on the rear.<br> Sterling based blasters have the correct M-38 or M-19 style scope.<br> Two power cylinders on the magazine housing.<br> Scratch-built, resin cast, Hyperfirm rubber cast blasters shall have a total of 6 T-tracks on blaster (leaving the lowest row on the magazine housing side uncovered).<br> If using the Hasbro E11 toy blaster, it is modified to have the correct number of T-tracks (6 total), with a lower row of open vent holes on the magazine housing side.<br> This is accomplished by covering the pre-existing rows of holes with T-tracks, then grinding off the lower integrated T-track on the magazine housing side, and drilling a new row of holes in its place.<br> No ESB/ROTJ greeblies are allowed on the blaster.<br> For level three certification (if applicable):<br> Hasbro blasters are not allowed, even conversions.

Same as my friend, I'm not sure it'll centurion approval... Hopefully, but we will see I guess...
-
Doopy will get you EIB, not centurion... That's why I gave the heads up on the mods you're doing.
-
All looks good from here... Re blaster, you may need to go Hyperfirm for centurion, uncertain of the blasters that you got... My friend purchased one, same as yours, not sure if it'll pass higher approvals, maybe EIB with modifications... But doubtful on centurion...

When people ask how to build a TK, I say, each one is customized to the owner... They are, from the fitting, down to the strapping. Each has their own way of doing things, are they right or wrong? No, when worn, the look the same, to give a uniformed identity. That's how you can tell if a TK is right or wrong, not in the semantics of the strapping or the painting inside the bucket... Or the mesh in the teeth. Some TKs have these things, others don't, it's all personal preference.<br><br> Want to figure out if your armour or bucket needs things? Try without first, then add later if you still insist. <br><br> This note is to none in particular lol -

It's all about making educated decisions, not jumping blindly into something... It's life changing, and therefore requires a lot more thought beforehand. -
So we nit pick and argue or banter back and forth, and give the rest of the club the term "elitist"...

TK Jawa here we come! Lol. Armoured Jawa, what will they think of next? -
That's where we decide, does this effect me, or everyone, and does it really need commenting on?

Glad I could help some. Not everything requires Velcro as some items just aren't moved around a lot too, but that's up to you. <br><br> Jawa looks awesome, but I think the TK is cooler on the body at least lol. Glad you got out and about in the armour, and was great to meet you. My wife says, "Hello!" Too lol -
Aren't we nit picky enough about the plastic, or do we have to take it a step further and get picky on how we carry blasters or weapons... Come on guys, lighten up!

Just an update on dollar store cotton gloves...dollarama doesn't sell these anymore. Various other dollar stores I've checked, don't carry them anymore either...
