looks awesome

elastic should be black on the bells i may be wrong but i used black on mine

lego molding true ghetto style

most i know who use all velcro start having malfunctions when you get hot and black will the heat will soften the glue parts will start shifting of seperate completely best to do snap plates for the male side and webbing for the female side and use marine snaps so your sweat won't corrode them

that's what type i used except red on what dizzy posted

lol i'm doing a santa trooper too for our garrison christmas parade

now the fun begins

are you building toward specialist if so contact http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/8638-for-sale-inner-drop-boxes/ for these and if doing ANH build do what was suggested to me cut the corners of your belt at 45 degrees just some helpful tips

try this Lauren http://www.ebay.com/itm/Football-or-Lacrosse-Helmet-Visor-INSERT-fits-Oakley-Under-Armour-Nike-Arsenal-/261178700883?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=560186053339&hash=item3ccf76b453

nice build glad you finished it

i prefer my armor shiny just a personal choice good looking build

making progress glad my pics helped

awww you made a cute widdle trooper seriously though your getting there

here's the submission pics

just took submission pics with a garrison member will post pics the next day or 2 for specialist

i'd paint the inside black the red still diffuses light through it;ll help you see much better

a trick you can use is take an iron on a very hot setting slow but not too slow passes will make the material shiner not sure on ATA mail him but i think he's saving it for helmet kits good job i have some tweaks on mine before i can submit

ok so tomarrow there is a minor league baseball game salem red sox i'm debuting my Magma there my GML will be there to look over my costume i'm going for specialist and yes i'll get pics also didn't realize how quickly word spread at work about my Magma being at the game so several geeked out about it and are showing up it'll be fun

looking good i have an AM kit but i'm 6' 0" 180LBS we could do surgery on ya oh say 2 inch extensions then you'd be close to ideal ( evil grin i have taken anatomy )

you can go to a hobby store that sells r/c stuff buy a bottle of plastruct it's ABS weld a other may chime in but these are the correct screws http://www.boltdepot...Brass_4-40.aspx build is looking good

it's an ANH hasbro mod like yours jim and where did you get the craft wire

can you use black coiled phone cord which a bit flat or does it have to be round coiled wire?

looking good Dorothy your almost there

made a lot of progress got my suit strapped all that's left now if strap the biceps and rhino line my helmet and put my motorcycle liner in and get some submission pics

1 go to wal-mart in hard wear dept you can get gloves that have rubber tips and the top is mesh like lets your hands breath for colder troops i bought under armor gloves on e-bay to keep my hands warm 2 yes adding foam is part of fitting the armor to you 3 some use rain X wipes some go to eye care center like at wal mart or where you like and buy anti fogging wipes also when you put your fans in position 1 to across your lenses helps keep moisture off them 3 most attach their sound system on their chest plate i prefer a wireless method in my helmet and on my chest plate 4 get your armor built strapped then determine where you need to tweak it to fit better like to adjust a piece or even if need be cut a piece these are my suggestions i'm others might have other opinions i'd contact the armor seller let them know you didn't get an AB button plate for your buttons most kit sellers provide buttons ask about that too or go to FISD ( whitearmor.net ) on going sales section you can buy buttons there http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/16842-vaderdave-tk-ab-button-kits-are-back/ http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/22546-ap-te-style-thermal-det-aluminum-clipsw-hardware/
