vecspeed12 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Jesse, did you use the newspaper method to weather the armor? Quote
TK_LEPER Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) No, I used a piece of neck-trim ... and some buffing compound. Any excess was rubbed off with a micro fiber cloth. Edited January 16, 2012 by TK 4702 Quote
Front-a-Little Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 Hey dude, your armor looks really amazing. One question about your straps here: Then glued my shin straps in place ... Where on these straps does the glue stop, or which part of it remains stretchable ? Only the part where you sew the "sling" together ? I figure the strap has to be pretty strong in order to hold the halfs together without having a black gap when walking Quote
Griffin-X[TK] Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 I had not checked in a while...you are soooo close...! Quote
TK_LEPER Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) I glued about 75% (of the shin straps) down. Hey dude, your armor looks really amazing.

TK_LEPER Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 It's been two Months, and still no belt! I had not checked in a while...you are soooo close...! Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 It's been two Months, and still no belt! But you are soon about to! Hey guys, belt update now. I have ready to collect belts for, SW1, Bacta Reality, Kevin Szostok, Seb, Jessie and Tommy Trooper. These will be shipping asap. I am working on the others and will get an update out asap for those belts. Quote
JoeR Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 Has anyone heard from RS? No response from email or pm... Excuse the OT. Quote
Lupex[TK] Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 I received my first weekly update on 16/01 Saying that my armour was being formed that week but I haven't heard anything since? But they have been active on fb so that might be the way to get in contact? Quote
SW1 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 Spoke to Rob last night my belt is comming to me tommorow Ohh happy days , same postion as Jesse need to get this to complete my RS buid Quote
BananoPower22[TK] Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 I'm really looking forward to see how this armor turns out but the belt's taking forever to get to you Quote
Lupex[TK] Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 Jesse, I really love this build buddy, you have done an outstanding job and I will use it as a guide for when I get the nerve to tackle my new kit. One question though, as its driving me mad, are the trim lines you penciled onto the ab section in the right place as I am having a hard time finding the 'bend' line in the pictures? Quote
TK_LEPER Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks guys! And my belt showed up, I finished the assembly. When I have time I'll post some new photos. J Quote
Rolf[501st] Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Beautiful work as all ways bro I will dirty up my RS Stormtrooper as well, when i´m done assemble it. Quote
ObiHahn[TK] Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Turned out pretty sweet so far. Time to suit up, Jesse! Pics in full armor are what we need here. Until then, I am totally hijacking your thread with a pic of me in my RS armor just for kicks. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Quote
SW1 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Thought i would add to this hijack come on Jesse we need pics you know us lot . Quote
Griffin-X[TK] Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 You know Jesse's setup is going to look sweet... Quote
TK_LEPER Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) A long time coming I know! Like the Barber who's too busy to get a haircut ... I finally made myself a thermal detonator! I kind of messed up on the holster, and put the rivets where they had the belt marked ... right in the center! Oh Well. I might order a new belt anyhow... this one is a little too small for me. I also need to trim the inside of my forearms as well. Edited July 27, 2012 by TK_LEPER Quote
