Well done scott awesome job mate ...........now for Specialist ??????

Awesome work Scott you look great .................goodluck with your approval

Congratulations AL awesome work mate

Looking Great Derek ................can't wait to see the finished kit

Love that Tie Jim now I know how to keep hydrated while trooping....thanks for the tip mate:-)

Well 'm back on track to this project, got side tracked for a while building an ANH Tie Pilot but now thats all finished and approved its time to be creative again :smile: I've Sewn all the robes inner and outer, Monks cloth for the outer and a material similar to osnaburg for the inner Gaffi's are on order 2x rubies that I will have to mod Helmets are on order from Dirty Tusken Studios Waist bandoliers I will probably make myself, but criss crossed bandoliers are probably cheaper to buy when all is said and done Today I made a start on weathering the inner robes, Started with my sons as it is smaller and therefore if I wreck it less material wastage but I would like an opinion on my weathering so far ........does it need more, is it ok or have I overdone it ?? It looks much lighter in the pics than it really is so may be hard to give an opinion, Brown Acrylic paint with black over the top fraying will be done later .....the washing machine does a wonderful job of that, then some touch up of the frayed ends. I watered down the paint and used a garden weed sprayer to apply does it look too splotchy?? Yes I know its not black lol............but thanks for looking anyway

I'm loving it .......silver and black looks awesome...........congrats mate

Good news Tie Approved today

Scott keep up with the tradition and stay with the black lol

I,ve got a couple on order so when i get mine i'll do the mod and post it up for you guys, A guy in my garrison uses it for his wookie and it sounds pretty damn good but he said i'll need to solder on thicker wires as they quite thin and can break easily if not held securely

Thought i'd post this up as this is a relatively cheap costume sound option which appears to have good reviews .......and the TShirts are out at a great price 40% off ATM Link to the Think Geek personal sound shirt https://www.thinkgee...m/product/a5bf/ Link to how to mod it http://www.whitearmo...ut-to-aker-amp/ Link to amp http://www.ebay.com/...=item1e73629832 Total under $60 + postage. Fully programable and 20 sounds also it is my understanding sounds can be looped Hope this helps anyone looking for a cheaper option and possibly to suit a variety of costumes Cheers Steve

Well talk you through it mate , call me anytime if your stuck Now its my turn to help others so hit me up if you need advice Cheers Steve

Gday Scott Don't know what the other guys think but i reckon around 15mm, mine were 10mm and a little weak in some instances , 15mm should be a good size because when you do butt join method which is where i thought you were going ( correct me if i'm wrong ) you will want them to fit flush on the inside of the armor when glueing the inner strips and 20mm will not always fit flush , especially the front of the calfs and biceps . So i reckon 15mm or a mix of 15 and 20 mm . Also i brought 20 magnets and wished i had 40 as you could glue more parts at the same time instead of waiting for other parts to dry . A tip on those magnets is also to cover them in masking tape otherwise when they snap together they will crack and or chip Scott have you stated your build if you need any advice hit me up and i will give you a call mate ..................always happy to help

Well when i was looking i emailed shoulderpauldrons and was told they weren't selling them at present .........then i emailed TKboots and he found one for me at a great price so its worth a try

for shoulder pauldron , Greg is right shoulderpauldrons.com is not selling atm but they are trying to find another manufacturer that will live up to there quality expectations so they will be back. iI got mine from TK Boots absolutely an excellent guy to deal with, He does not list them on his site but just send him an email and he may be able to help you tkboots.com . For the black boots themselves look up Amsterdam boots on Amazon some great specials there and should be just under $50 . All the rest is above in Toddo's post Goodluck and look forward to seeing your build progress

This is why we hang around with the rebels so we can capture them lol..........................Nah really it's like Shane said lots are actually dual members

Thanks Toddo and I just got confirmation ......................TX22802 ..............reporting for duty , I'm ecstatic and couldn't have done it without the help of all of you so Thank You

Well guys Great and fantastic news has arrived my kit has been approved and I,m just waiting for my official numbers Yay And Jim ironically the only knock back i got was I had to dye the undyed lether on the holster , i should have listened buddy lol From this To this

Thanks Shane should get to troop together soon i hope mate
