bluehickey Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Well, I just finished assembling everything last week. All I'm missing is my blaster holster. I modified the brow and frown on my MRCE, also filled in the seam and applied new tube stripes. Here are the pics... Quote
TK-2126_MD[TK] Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Nice!!!! looks really good! The only things i see missing are the holster and the side plates. Cant really tell the color of your strips. But looks really good. we can touch little points for EIB once u get your 501st id. Good job! Quote

Haven't thought about doing the side plates yet, (I'd like to lose a few pounds first personally!) Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 For basic 501st acceptance, it looks really good. I especially like the job you did with the thigh taper, and of course the MRCE and Vaderdave buttons are looking sweet. For EIB it needs some further work, but that can be addressed later. Good job.

What are the Vaderdave buttons? The FX kit I got came with plain screws for the ab buttons that you paint. I just chose to paint them blue and grey instead of all black. Quote
nothingrecorded Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Hurray! Your armor is done! I am still working on mine. Quote
darren1970[501st] Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Nice work sir.! The same set up as I'm using. Good build Quote

I just chose to paint them blue and grey instead of all black. Wow, I couldn't tell just by looking at the photos. Maybe that's a change to the stock FX kit, since I've had mine for quite a while now. Nice work. VaderDave is the merch officer here. Among other things, he sells accurate sized/colored replacement ab buttons for the FX kit. Most people who choose to upgrade their FX kits get their replacement ab buttons from him. Quote
bluehickey Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Posted August 26, 2009 Yeah, the instructions for my FX kit stated that the screws are a change to the standard snap type buttons that used to come with it. I much prefer these ones! Quote
89Batman[TK] Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Looks great my friend!! I bet you can't wait to go out and play! Quote
bluehickey Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Posted August 26, 2009 Looks great my friend!! I bet you can't wait to go out and play! Yes, I do want to play in it, that's why I'm trooping a theatrical screening of Return of the Jedi on Friday night and then a diabetes walk on Saturday morning! Quote
89Batman[TK] Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Wow that will be a busy weekend!!! Make sure you have fun mate and of course we will all expect to see pics! Quote
bluehickey Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Posted September 1, 2009 Got my 501st clearance, I am officially TK 3034! Here is a pic with my son at a screening of ROTJ, last week! Quote

dougefresh Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Ryan -- great job! Lookin' sweet! Quote
DEDEDEJr Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Looks totally awesome Ryan, you're definitely making me want one of those MRCE's. And you have a similar body type to me, so I'm glad my FX armor will fit! Quote

And you have a similar body type to me, so I'm glad my FX armor will fit! You're stocky too? I have really broad shoulders which normally I don't mind, but in white armor, I tend to look like a football player which is not how stormtroopers are built in the movies. Quote
