SuperTrooper Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 So how's everyone doing on their armor building and upgrades? We are on a roll, keep up the good work. Quote
TK-2126_MD[TK] Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 Well the way i see it.... ( considering that since dic 2007 i havent been on line hardly at all because of a new job) from oct-nov 2006 ??? ( when i joined FISD) moslty everone had a finished suit, Scott M. was the first to be aproved and he joined the FISD around the same time ( actualy Feb 2007) so he stared fresh and went from 501st A-ok to FISD Elite in like a week or two, and most of the rest of us did the same. i think Paul and Chazz were the first to "tune" there older suits for Elite, or did Paul get a new TM or TE2...... and were were all fine tuned with were to get the right buttons the right colours, how to cut, ....etc etc any way as of lately i have noticed that there are alot of repeat threads with questions that have bbeen already answered, and this has left more reading and more info to process and probably resulting in slow Elite status out put. We use to be very anal about " READ twice ASK once, only if u can find yur answer" Just in case i am not ripig any one just stating that there is a lot more info to read alot more parts, odds and ends vendores. But i feel that there will BE A "down pour" and massive surge of Elite troopers, they will come in waves..... I tell U!!!!!! Hey Scott dont remember if i told u that i got my Decals???? Very nice, was thinking of getting u to make me another set but in aymara ( local native langue that George used to base Hatissh(sp???)!!!!! I will post in the right thread. Quote
Ironclaw Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 So how's everyone doing on their armor building and upgrades? We are on a roll, keep up the good work. I will become an Elite trooper, I got the necessary stuff, just need a helmet . Quote
Smitty Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 I am almost done. I have another canvass belt coming since I destroyed my last one. Once the belt is finished I think Im in there first pass. Once thats done I want to ditch the thermal detonator for a grapple hook rig. Quote
Runnriottt Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 I am almost done. I have another canvass belt coming since I destroyed my last one. Once the belt is finished I think Im in there first pass. Once thats done I want to ditch the thermal detonator for a grapple hook rig. Where did you find a grapple? My attempt failed horrid...lol... Once my armor arrives... Its on! Quote
Smitty Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 Debating a second attempt at making one. TM has some designs for the box laying around *wink wink nudge nudge* Quote
drosch Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 I have everything I need in hand I just need to put it all together! When I say I have it in hand I mean I have canvas to make my own belt. I have the materials to make my own holster. I have everything I need for my blaster I just need the time to put it all together. Life has really slowed me down on this project. I planned to be done 2 months ago. I am hoping that I'm only a few weeks away. I want to make a huge effort to get this done soon! Quote
CureMode[TK] Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 I am putting the finishing touches on mine as well. My goal is the beginning of August, and I think I'll make it. Quote
Guest TK-2416 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 ESB Elite on its way - Mike is building the AP for me in the ESB style, New canvas belt and right sided holster on its way from firebladejedi, found some new ESB handplates - about to close the deal on a ESB E-11 blaster... So within a month or so.. Then ROTJ?? Any one has the full house? Quote
Nootch Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 i think all i need is to finish my blaster, cut the butt plate (bit scared though) and get an accurate holster. may need to change the gloves or are the nomex flight gloves allowed Quote
SuperTrooper Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 may need to change the gloves or are the nomex flight gloves allowed Nomex flight gloves are fine, so your all set there. Quote
Ironclaw Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 Cool, several more Elites incoming then Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Posted June 4, 2008 ESB Elite on its way - Mike is building the AP for me in the ESB style, New canvas belt and right sided holster on its way from firebladejedi, found some new ESB handplates - about to close the deal on a ESB E-11 blaster... So within a month or so.. Then ROTJ?? Any one has the full house? My ESB bucket should arrive shortly. I have the hand plates and a new belt has been ordered. Just need to decide about the blaster. I have to say doing the kit so I could do both ANH & ESB from the beginning would have been easier, but with a little planning doesn't take much effort overall. Dude - you're nuts to try ROTJ. That's a lot of mods and a lot of work. There's almost nothing you can re-use except the legs and arms, so you're talking either a whole other suit or lots of extra parts. Would be cool to see - no one's ever scored that hat trick. Quote
Runnriottt Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 Ya know, your right... Not much diff between the two. Could go with the ANH elite as well huh... Quote
Murray1134[501st] Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 I would love to have a grapple hook. I'm not such a big fan of the butt tube. Anyone have a tutorial or going into production? Quote
Guest TK-2416 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 ROTJ... You are right.. That is really something.. But again the thought of being the first to score a hat trick.. So far as I can see only one trooper made it.. Quote
Scott M.[TK] Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Man, I have not seen this much activity on this thread in months!!! Keep up the enthusiasm!!! Quote
TobesMahone Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 Yeah workin on elite status but uh... hit a road block... can't find a dang helmet... Quote
SuperTrooper Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 Yeah workin on elite status but uh... hit a road block... can't find a dang helmet... If you want the most inexpensive you can get a MR CE on ebay for about a hundred. Of course the more accurate helmets do cost a bit more. Quote
PhoenixFuego Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 Just give me three years to meet the age requirements for the 501st Quote
SuperTrooper Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 After a long dry spell we have a new applicant for elite. I know there are troopers out there who can gain elite status so please apply. Stop teasing us, I'm waiting on you to submit my long overdue pictures to get my Elite And there are more elite only goodies in the works. They are round . Quote
missingpieces[501st] Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 lol. this thread made me do it. finally. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Posted August 5, 2008 There are lots of folks just a mod or two away - these are simple and cheap fixes to do. If you gots time to troop, you gots time to go Elite! Quote
