Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Very cool Link to comment
neoakaj[TX] Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Thank you! Went on another troop this past weekend. It was pretty cool because I was able to get my fiancé into some armor. She had a TB and looked great! She didn't last the whole troop as she was wearing a MLC helmet, and until not she has never had any costumes with helmets, so her neck wasn't up to the task. On that note she is very happy with it, and said she would want to do a Shadow Trooper or even a Nova Medic!!!!!!! But I had to promise to get her Lekku and light saber for her rebel costume first..... Now back to the Shadow Scout. I am starting to get the "is my armor ever going to come" shakes....I just hope I get a shipment notification soon. Anyways, I think I will work on some pouches this week Link to comment

neoakaj[TX] Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Hang in there man... I figured out my problem! The fact I have the next two weeks off I got a message saying it should ship by the end of this week With that ill turn in my application once its all finished. I found out the number I was hoping for was taken sometime this month, but thats ok, I have a few more still open Link to comment

Chef[501st] Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Why is it not built yet?? Chop chop! Link to comment
neoakaj[TX] Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Armor party today! That is 90% of the reason Link to comment
neoakaj[TX] Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 I am looking for advice on joining the shoulders together, where the chest and back meet. Any thoughts? I was thinking using some of the webbing under the two ends and then rapping the webbing around them to cover the seam. Link to comment
Chef[501st] Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 that is exactly what I do. I do have the frontal sections either on poppers or velcro so they are removable, just in case you can't get your head through the hole. Link to comment
neoakaj[TX] Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Thanks Next couple questions. First the easy one Is this placed correct? And next I glued my tank topper on and didnt realize until I was done that I got a small smug of e6000 on the side of the tank. Is there any way to get that off? Link to comment
Chef[501st] Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 There is no 'official' orientation of the TD Greeblie, with screen evidence to suggest both. But most tend to favour the tabs uppermost as you have got there. So I would go with that. You should be able to carefully remove the blob of E6000 with a scalpel blade (use it like a razor). Peel it up. Whether the solvent will have marked the plastic is another matter. But don't panic. It's just weathering. Link to comment
neoakaj[TX] Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 I'm not worried about any marks. I'll give it a shot tomorrow. And the TD is all glued up. All that is left is to shrink the forearms a bit, connect the tank to the back, and finish the belt... Gotta find some cotton webbing for the drop boxes. Pics tomorrow! Link to comment
Griffin-X[501st] Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 You can pick up cotton webbing from Jontay.com. They are really good and ship quickly. http://store.jontay.com/Black_Regular_Weight_Cotton_Webbing.aspx For mine, I made a black cotton wrap around using the 2" webbing and Velcro. Then I made a "T" using 1" webbing and Velcro. This slips underneath and provides a way to hook the shoulders. Link to comment
neoakaj[TX] Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Progress I will paint the other rivets today and I should have the belt finished tonight. If all goes well I will be submitting tomorrow morning! Going to our squad leaders house tonight to have him assist on the last couple items, mainly the forearms and they are way to wide for my tiny arms Link to comment
Chef[501st] Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Get in buddy... And just remember to ship the mustang over to me when you're finished. Link to comment
