TK9477 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Posted June 27, 2011 Anyone out there got a 'Peter & Jane' pictorial construction guide for a TM build? One with the ANH strapping as well as normal would be great. Quote
ObiHahn[TK] Posted June 27, 2011 Report Posted June 27, 2011 I could show you pics of my completed components as well as inside views of the ANH accurate torso strapping. No pics made while I built it, though. I did not have the patience to pull out the cam for that... Quote

ObiHahn[TK] Posted June 27, 2011 Report Posted June 27, 2011 These are the most helpful I guess. Shows how a 1mm TM looks assembled. The helmet...well, looks like a helmet. Quote
john danter Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Yeah, really nice pics. Good effort there Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 I've book marked this page for when I redo my TK. Quote
Madmartigan Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Dennis, Is that just white gaffers tape holding the bicep to the shoulder?? Quote
ObiHahn[TK] Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 @Chris: it is, ghetto style. Keeps the shoulders/bicep pieces where they need to be and is somehow accurate. Gaffers tape rules! Quote
firebladejedi[TK] Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Gaffers tape rules! Search your feelings; you know it to be true Quote
Madmartigan Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 @Chris: it is, ghetto style. Keeps the shoulders/bicep pieces where they need to be and is somehow accurate. Gaffers tape rules! Sweet! I've tried multiple times to get my bicep to stay in place on the shoulder with a snap and strap. If gaffers tape is "canon", I'm all for it!!! Quote
ObiHahn[TK] Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 If gaffers tape is "canon", I'm all for it!!! I can't prove with any reference pics that they used white gaffers tape for that, but since they used it for all kinds of other solutions and repairs, I figured it would be fair game. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Wow Dennis - this is simply beautiful Quote
ObiHahn[TK] Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Thanks, Paul! Not as beautiful as wearing it is, though. Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Need to make new bicep hooks myself. Quote
Rolf[501st] Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Freaking cool pics, and armor Dennis. Lovely! Quote
TK-4935 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 Wow, s'been a long time. Sorry for resurrecting an older post but I've been searching high and low on the forum for info on those little bars that elastic strapping is sewn on to. Can anyone tell me what they are, where one can get some or if they are scratch built? Mark (FBJ), Pete (stukatrooper), havent you fellas used these on your set-ups? Cheers Si Quote

Can anyone tell me what they are, where one can get some or if they are scratch built? It's just steel wire bent into bracket shape. Fastened with 2 machine screws per bracket. Pete/Stuka offered these a while back and they go along perfect with Mark's/FBJ's strapping set. It's their exact offerings you see in the pics of my 1mm TM up there. Quote

Loving the armour by the way. Quote

Thanks mate, I just built it and wear it ocassionally. I checked my pics if I have a close up of a bracket but I can't really find one just now. Here's the old thread of the initial offer, but as you can read there, you're probably not gonna get brackets from that source any time soon: - @Joe: I'm gonna build a new one real soon if all works out.

Thanks again. I'm sure I can knock something up myself. Got a lovely box of plastic awesomeness coming soon and it would be a shame to go anything less than full on accurate considering the lineage Quote
