Tiexalan[501st] Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Oh, I am, I got it done enough that today (Saturday) I had my first public wear of it at Dallas Alcon.... It showed me a lot of little tweaks I have to do, and even learned emergency maintenance...my Velcro on my calves didn't work at all, so fixed that on the fly, and my left thigh front popped open after about an hour.... All that was fixed, and now I have to shorten down strapping and get it to where it is easier to walk in. But am going out in it again tomorrow. Loved it, and got photo swarmed.... 1 Link to comment

Tiexalan[501st] Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 So, yea, this happened...... You know, trooping around in this thing showed me all the spots I need to work on.... Link to comment
Tiexalan[501st] Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 So, new question.....now that I've actually decided to finish everything up..... Drop boxes...how do you align them up? Outside edge lined up with the outside edge of the plastic portion of the ammo belt? (if I read the specialist requirements correctly).... or is it the outside edge lined up with the outside edge of the last ammo pod? (which I've seen in pictures) Link to comment
DeathMOS30[501st] Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 So, new question.....now that I've actually decided to finish everything up..... Drop boxes...how do you align them up?

(if I read the specialist requirements correctly).... or is it the outside edge lined up with the outside edge of the last ammo pod? (which I've seen in pictures) Hopefully more ST experts will chime in Checking out the specialist list it says this: Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. the CRL says this: The drop boxes dangle from the sides of the plastic belt face via black straps and are aligned under the plastic tabs of the ammo belt. So i guess it would depend on if you are going specialist or not Again I am not a ST expert so hopefully some more folks will chime in hope that helps. Link to comment
Tiexalan[501st] Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'm working toward specialist.... Maybe not as soon as I get accepted, but it is a goal. 1 Link to comment
DeathMOS30[501st] Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I'm working toward specialist.... Maybe not as soon as I get accepted, but it is a goal. Oh ok so just adhere to the CRL http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TX_shadow_stormtrooper and also the specialist requirements http://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/2814-specialist-requirements-shadow-stormtrooper/ Link to comment
Tiexalan[501st] Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yea, that's the thing....I am reading and following both of those, was trying to find clarification...but I got it last night at an event I was at. 1 Link to comment
Tiexalan[501st] Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 ordered a neck seal from TK409....anyone have any dealing with this vendor? I ordered on the 3rd, and have received nothing from them to date. Paypal confirmed that the money was delivered via standard email. I have sent 2 emails....just concerned, but FSID posts recommended her a lot....so, I'm hoping it is just lack of communication. Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 No personal dealings, but that can be the case sometimes with internal member vendors and they usually come through. How did you place the order? Were you in contact before hand? Through a website? Sending paypal after reviewing a sale thread on the forum? Link to comment
Tiexalan[501st] Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 I ordered through their website, and had no contact with them beforehand. I have been sending emails to the email on the website. Link to comment

Master Tej Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 So the neck seal came through, then? - Master Tej - Link to comment
Tiexalan[501st] Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Actually, no....TK 409 gave me a refund, due to not being able to find the material.....Darman on the other hand, is now doing my neck seal. Friend of mine gave me his until I get my own. Link to comment
Master Tej Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Ah. Well, at least it was resolved in the end! - Master Tej - Link to comment
