Hey guys fully painted and assembled my e-10 blaster for my costume I think I'll aim for just lvl 1 approval since I like the spring in it. But may be something to consider replacing later on for lvl 2 but overall here it is let me know what you guys all think my friends : ) https://imgur.com/a/WawgYqg

Hey guys currently at an armor party was wondering how the trimming was doing I can see the indents line and I'm getting close to it as I've marked it but what do you guys think is it getting around the right height https://imgur.com/a/Grrfq7f

Yay! I finally got my blaster kit from imperial arms in the other day and now I can't wait for the next armor party. It'll take some time and a lot of effort but that's the fun part. https://imgur.com/a/wyhcnKA Also while I'm here , I know there's a vendors list and all but I'm curious as I've been looking at three different vendors. 850armorworks, Jim tripon and imperial surplus as potential sources for my armor in the future. And just wanted everyones opinion on those choices or if there would be another vendor that would be good to look at as well. 850 has a mudtrooper kit around 475 now and comes with front and back plate, shoulders, biceps, belt boxes, straps and basically all the hard parts. I've heard the Jim tripons stuff is really great but also hear that his kit may have small inaccuracies plus if possible I would like to get a lighter kit being in USA Florida. But Ive always liked how his stuff looked. I intend to get the uniform from him either way. And then there's imperial surplus which comes with a lot of things. Comes with the armor, all abs vacuum formed, comes with rigging supplies and a lot of other things for 750 plus shipping. But I'm not sure if I could afford it but I like how their stuff looks and what they all include in the kit and is told that they have a pretty accurate kit. What do you guys all think?

Hey there after contacting 850 and working with a specialist I was able to see the issue I was having. I learned that the trim line is actually higher up than expected since the mudtrooper helmets are a bit shorter than expected like with the original trilogy's being bigger. So crisis averted https://imgur.com/a/a1IKWOJ

Hey guys after discussing it with another ( a specialist that's been helping me on Facebook) we found some concerns about some of my new pieces that I recently got commissioned by 850armorworks for me. It's most in regards to some of the vacuum formed pieces and found that it may have been dented and malformed in vital areas especially on the skirt. And was wondering if anyone else thought it could salvageable or if I should try and contact the vendor about getting either it fixed or given a replacement part. I'll provide pictures and such to show. But I wanted to get everyone's opinions. I wasn't sure at first since I'm new to vacuum forming but I've been told it's not normal for it to be like this so what should I try and do? And there was also the concern surround vacuum formed goggles and if they would be actually be able to be used. Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/PPg9W7m

Which does bring me to another question is there perhaps anyone out there who'd like to make a deal to have one made for me or perhaps a trade of sorts? : ) For the large goggle buckle that is.

Thanks there hopefully we will hear from them soon. Though I may have to end up replacing it either way. Was also told it's durability might not be the best and was pointed to mudtrooper.co.uk's free files. I would love to use those as I've known about them for a while now. But unfortunately I don't have a printer to print the main buckle that most people use.

A small update on the buckle learned from the mudtrooper builders group, that it was actually from the Fletcher files found that's the kind of files 850 must be using for their kit.

If I trim it like this I may be able to get it to look more like it and position the pieces a bit better: https://imgur.com/a/hiZRXcR and here's what it looks like with straps https://imgur.com/a/JIsOvFP

Hey question again I was recently working on my various head piece straps and I started to think about the large buckle for the goggles I got. Looking at I think could it be possibly a new andor army troopers buckle. Here's a picture via imgur. Cause I know the one listed in the crl looks different. If this is alright that'd be nice if not I wonder if there would be anyone interested in a trade for the large goggle buckle. https://imgur.com/a/F5H6ruN Talking about the large buckle with the beige square in it.

Thanks again there I'll be sure to give it a look!

So just got surprised with a bit of a late valentine's gift from my mom. She gifted me some black dye for the plash Palatka. So I know you have to use basically a bunch of water, soap and salt to remove the wax layer right? However how would one go to do so? Is as simple as putting it into a bucket or is there some kind of procedure?

Thanks my friend I'll take a look there

Also just found what jafo used in his build on Amazon as well: https://a.co/d/72r9yIW

Hey I had a question but what did everyone do for their visor for their goggles? I know of a German source (https://www.etsy.com/listing/606975961/ople-props-imperial-mudtrooper-lense) to get one off Etsy. But I was also thinking of just trying to get a sheet of translucent film to cutout to use for the visor of the goggles. I also found this on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Jackson-3002810-Polycarbonate-Shield-Unbound/dp/B002A65LYM/ref=asc_df_B002A65LYM/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=344004969583&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14432349852340449345&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9012363&hvtargid=pla-756875051230&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=70729706393&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=344004969583&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14432349852340449345&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9012363&hvtargid=pla-756875051230 But other than those are there any other recommendations?
