troopermaster Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 As far as I know, RS uses superglue so removing the strips will be very difficult. Are the thighs too big or too narrow? Quote
Skylar Leakey Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Troopermaster, They use all the metrials that was from the movies. They are screen acruite so what ever they used in the movie they most likly use it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk Quote

They are a bit too wide. Not a lot. 3/4 - 1 inch maybe.( the gap is three/four fingers). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Skylar Leakey Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Oh no what I Hurd that it won't and a tip its always better to take smaller cuts then a big one Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk Quote
Skylar Leakey Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Till you get it just right Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk Quote
Alay[TK] Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Honestly they don't look awful. You might want to just put some padding inside the thighs to fill the gap rather than resizing them if it's not too too big. 1 Quote

They felt a little wobly, but looking at the pictures they look fine. I Think I will take your advice, and just give them a tweek with some padding. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Alay[TK] Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Good place to start anyways! Do them with velcro so you can remove it if you end up needing to cut some size off them Let us know! Quote
troopermaster Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Troopermaster, They use all the metrials that was from the movies. They are screen acruite so what ever they used in the movie they most likly use it. No they don't. They use superglue. The screen used suits used ABS paste. Quote
Skylar Leakey Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 I will ask them but they are the only one that has the original modings of the storm trooper Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk Quote
troopermaster Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Yes they are. And did you know I supplied several missing parts of the costume and Rob sculpted some too? So not completely original screen accurate. Quote
Skylar Leakey Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Not all but they sure look mighty fine, if it is supper glued would that effect me getting into and advancing the 501st Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk Quote
troopermaster Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 They are a bit too wide. Not a lot. 3/4 - 1 inch maybe.( the gap is three/four fingers). You want some wiggle room in the thighs. They should be able to slide up and down your legs freely as you walk. Taking them apart would be a lot of work so as already suggested, some slight padding should help. Quote
Skylar Leakey Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 And you work with RS?? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk Quote
troopermaster Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Not all but they sure look mighty fine, if it is supper glued would that effect me getting into and advancing the 501st Not at all. You can use any glue you like to assemble the armour. It's what it looks like from the outside that counts - not from the inside. 1 Quote

They don't look as wide as they feel. And i hope i am not wrong in that opinion. ( otherwise let me know) It is my first TK, so i don't quite know how it should feel. But i will take of some centimeters in length IOT get them "under" my but piece. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Risvang[501st] Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Posted February 5, 2017 Latest shot from today. I took of aprox 0,5 cm from the bottom of the shins. Lager i Will try to tackle the length of the thighs. I want to get them free of the but plate, and free of the joints naive the chins. Easy does it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Risvang[501st] Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Posted February 5, 2017 Damn auto correct. lager-later, naive-over Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
