baron von blondle Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Well after having had my FX for about 10 years :oops: (i trooped it for a friends company straight outta the box, shabby velcro and all - for which payment was the armour! ) i've finally got myself in the position both financially and kitwise to start putting it all together!!!! progress is :- so far i've attached all the snaps and webbing for the abs (also cut and seperately attached), chest and back. Made myself a sexy little nylon garter belt (fully adjustable) for the thighs. Glued the forearms and shins. Machine screwed the knee-plate and even gone as far as heating up and curving the shoulder bells to look a bit more authentic. all thats left is to clean and glue the biceps and thighs and attach the battery box to the thigh then i can attack the belt and i'm ready for a fitting! i'm so excited i had to post this now without pics, as soon as i calm down enough i'll take some shots for your dis/approval. soon...yes soon i will walk this earth and they shall call me TK! Respect P. Quote
XNtr3k Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Wow, I'd have gone insane if I had project like that lying around for ten years that I hadn't worked on! Cool though, free armor! Quote
baron von blondle Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Posted August 14, 2008 in my defense i had no idea it was innacurate nor could be made durable to wear til a couple of years ago, i just had it in a box and was proud enough with it as a souvenir! imagine how much happier i was when i discovered the 501st!! (still taken me over a year to get this far tho!) Respect P. Quote
baron von blondle Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Posted August 15, 2008 okeydokes, i'm steaming ahead! all thats left is to glue the thighs and attach the odd snap and i'm ready for a full fitting! only one issue i've encountered.. i've attached the belt to the cod like so... which attaches to the ab plate with the snaps you can see - the problem is i've already knocked off one of my ab buttons where the belt rises up and scuffs the bottom two! am i doing something wrong? should i attach the belt to the ab instead and won't this still limit moveability and render seperating the cod redundant? :0 Respect P.
