Stomper Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Geez Paul, you could have at least brushed off all the course, black, curly hairs from your armor BEFORE you took pictures of it!! Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Actually that's fuzz from the underarmor my friend. See, some of us troopers have a little more than others if you take my meaning, which is perhaps why some folks have never seen this phenomenon before. Quote
TK-2833[501st] Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 I do have to agree about cutting the codpiece off. It's extremely easy to bend over to shake a kid's hand, give them a hug, pick up a blaster, etc. The only problem is if you forget to attach the velcro strap running from the cod to the butt to keep it from flapping. Did this at my first troop and someone had to 'attach' me in the middle of the event. Sort of funning looking to have someone playing around with a stormtrooper's crotch. Quote
Boozel Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 I cut mine, and recomend it. you can cover both front and back with the belt, but in ANH you can see the back was cut,and was actually "below" the belt. I am doing this with my next set also. Boozel Quote
Darth_Nickel Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 I was just reading through this, and I have to agree. I like the fact that I cut my cod and the back plate. I did cut my cod in a little different place (not knowing what I was doing.... ) and it seems to have worked out very well. I cut the cod so it has a thin strip along the entire ab plate. I'll try to get a pic to post up. It's attached to the ab with a 3" elastic and 2 1" elastic strips. The cod attaches to the butt plate with a 1" elastic strip w/ snap. The butt attaches to the back with the same type elastic strips 1 3" and 2 1" elastic strips. Quote
missingpieces[501st] Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 looking at shots of troopers from the movie the butt plate is cut BELOW the belt...you can see the seam...not covered by it you can see it if you watch ANH Quote
TK8280 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 i decided to take some pics of mine before I cut it up and turn it in to a ROTJ Quote
john danter Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 I'd recommend this mod to anyone! Full movement! I sit down and annoy people all the time plus if you're short you can bring the ab buttons down a tad. Cut an inch off and then stick back together with black elastic. I did this to mine and you see my ab buttons clearly now Sorry but this is the only decent photo of me I have. I lost all my others Must get some more taken this weekend Quote
Stomper Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 Well I haven't modded any of my gear like this, but look what I did last Halloween.... And I didn't even hurt myself... see? I'm still smiling. Quote
Stealth_Trooper_Pablo Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 slightly OT, Stomper, where did you get that knife strapped to your leg? i would like some thing like this to add to my Blackhole Trooper send me a pm? ta Quote
Stomper Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 ***OFF TOPIC*** (sorry) OT, huh? Over Time? Over Top? Original Trilogy? I've had that knife for years, and I don't remember where/how I got it.... sorry! It's shaped like a Japanese Katana blade and its all black including the blade. Quote
Invader[501st] Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 I have a set of black hole armor, I have a couple of slight issues with my armor thou. The way i have my cod and back plate is i have a elastic strap that is riveted to the two pieces which actually kinda helps but I would also like to sit down. Other problem im having is my sniper plate keeps going under my one thigh piece which stops all movement walking. A belt that velcro keeps coming undone, which i almost thought about just connecting that to the back plate with screws lol Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 Most black hole armor is based on the current FX molds, in which the left thigh is a huge barrel. I have the older FX thighs that are more contoured and pretty tight. How trimmed are your thighs? Quote

How trimmed are your thighs? still trying to trim them down alittle more i just took 2 inches off the other day to try and make it where my leg can bend lol Quote
firebladejedi[TK] Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 I can just about sit down, lol Quote
Dargas[501st] Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 i could do that with my past FX... the new one however i can´t... i have NO idea why when they´re worked the same... i did the cut in the cod and butt but I made the mistake of placing a 2" nylon strap to hold the cod to the abdomen and so the mod fumbled... now I need to remove the strap and replace it with elastic for the mod to work, perhaps then I´ll be able to sit down correctly...
