Amplexor[501st] Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 I tried to take a picture of myself while trying on all the parts yesterday, but it came out way to dark to see any details. I'm not used to black armor I found some parts that need more trimming, a couple of return edges that need to be trimmed down, and I need to cut down the hand guards a bit, they are way too big.

Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Glad to see you are back on pace. Can't wait to see the pics when you have them! Link to comment
Amplexor[501st] Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 I got some more parts done this weekend. Finished the hand guards and the belt. Only part not finished is the TD, but that's because I haven't found a pipe in the right dimension yet. Still need some fine tuning on the strapping. And then wipe everything down, since it's full of dirt and fingerprints after building. Â Finally I need of course to take some pictures in a well lit room Link to comment

Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Got to love the shiny, very nice work! Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Looking pretty good. I think your thigh ammo belt is titling upward. A tiny strip of velcro might fix that into position and keep it nice and straight. Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 As for the detonator, if the AM TD caps are the size of the FX, then they are pretty large compared to screen used. I know a fellow who could get you some accurate-sized caps that will fit over a standard pvc pipe. Let me know if you want in contact with him. Link to comment
Amplexor[501st] Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Thanks guys! Yeah, I know about the thigh ammo belt, I'm working on it. Going to reshape it a bit as well. The AM parts does not give up without a struggle. Â The detonator is the exact same size as my Troopermaster TD, so I think it should be ok. Link to comment
mr0072003[501st] Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Great Pics man... Love the Second one, you look straight Bad ARSS! Link to comment
Darth Agnon[501st] Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Looks great and fits you well. Nice DLT also! Link to comment
Amplexor[501st] Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Thanks guys! Â I have moved the thigh ammo belt, and the armor is now 501st approved, and tomorrow I'm going to troop first time in it, at a Roller Derby match. Â First time in black, after 2 years of trooping in shiny white.. Woho! Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Congratulations on your approval status! Everyone tells you that people will call you Darth Vader, but that's only happened to me once. Â I loved trooping roller derby with the Rat City Rollergirls Link to comment
Griffin-X[501st] Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Congrats, I've updated your profile to reflect Spec Ops! Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Differs by trooper. Some people really love the mirrored lenses and silver frown. I prefer the black frown and lenses. All up to you based on what you think looks most bad-ass. Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Everyone tells you that people will call you Darth Vader, but that's only happened to me once. Â Now that happens to me all the time. My favorite is when another kid corrects the kid that said it with a "no, that is a stealth trooper" or I have heard "blackhole" out of kids. I would be proud to be that kids father. Link to comment
