aliens8us Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 I'm in the OH Garrison (Cleveland area). I'm sending my final payment to AP (had to pay via payment plan. Couldn't just purchase in one sitting) this coming Monday. I already have my boots (TK Boots), shirt/pants underarmor, decals (ear pinstripe and abdomen...but will probably use paint), and Blaster (Hasbro)( I have a 2nd back-up Kenner) with attachments from doopy doos; still needs painting. My TK from AP will be coming trimmed with Leather Holster and gloves. I'll have to get the frown screen and darker eye lens and maybe rivets/buttons from Trooperbay. If there's anything I'm missing I need to get from Trooperbay (once their site is back up), please let me know. I'll be getting my helmet harness from a hard hat from Lowe's/Home Depot (maybe chemical gloves too?) that I saw the video on Trooperbay's site. And the industrial Velcro from Walmart. Quote
Ditch[501st] Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 Research, Research, Research. You can't do enough. Just cause you got a kit from a vetted manufacturer, doesn't mean you will get approved. Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 Hello and welcome aboard, as Carl stated do the research and remember the golden rule, measure twice and cut once Quote
Snaps[TK] Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 Make sure you have a dremel and cut less than you need to at first! Quote
aliens8us Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Posted July 4, 2014 Make sure you have a dremel and cut less than you need to at first! OH Garrison member ObiWanJay will be assisting me with my build. I also purchased dark green lens, frown mesh, and helmet harness from Trooperbay. Quote
aliens8us Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Posted July 10, 2014 Received my helmet harness, dark green visor, and mesh for the frown from Trooperbay! Now I'm just waiting on AP for my TK package! Quote
aliens8us Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Posted July 27, 2014 Stormtrooper costume update: purchased some supplies to work on the Blaster. Silver, gold, and black for painting and weathering (Walmart). Brushes to use to paint the abdomen plate buttons and magnifying glasses to replace the scope peephole and use as scope lens (Dollar tree). Quote
Snaps[TK] Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 Get plenty of elastic straps, heavy duty snaps and Velcro and E6000 glue. Quote
