065[501st] Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I went to a friend's house who also happened to be a TK He wanted to start on the bucket, I as a noob said yes. Is it ok??? http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb273/arbalest065/IMG_6581-1.jpg http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb273/arbalest065/IMG_6584.jpg http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb273/arbalest065/IMG_6583.jpg http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb273/arbalest065/IMG_6582.jpg http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb273/arbalest065/IMG_6585.jpg Link to comment
ELP[501st] Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 As far as construction goes it looks like you guys did a really good job. I think the openings in the frown will need enlarging (but that's cosmetic). And I hate to be the one to mention this but your TK friend, with his TK sensibilities, may have given you an issue with the tube stripes. From the Black Hole Control (here): TUBE STRIPES: Acceptable colors are Gloss Black, Flat Black or a very dark Navy Blue. There must be at least 9 and a maximum of 15. The curve must bend backwards. There does not need to be an equal amount per side. But not to worry it's just a matter of getting the light blue decals off and then putting on a more Blackhole colour. You can pick up decals for your specific helmet here: TK-4510 Link to comment

ELP[501st] Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Ernesto - I put most of the info in the PM I responded to ... let me know if you have any other questions Link to comment
izzi[TX] Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Looks good, actually I would go with black tube stripes, been discussing things with the LMOs and as standards get pinned down, blue may be dropped off the list. I'll explain it in more detail later when I know for sure. Besure to drill and file out those teeth right to the edges so you get more airflow. -iz Link to comment
ELP[501st] Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Thanks for the input Iz! Didn't know that about the blue, just noticed they weren't in the current controls. We'll need to change the default forum back ground if and when that change happens. Link to comment

Orsan[501st] Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I used to have the blue decals that come with the FX lid, now I have the eFX and my sister has the Hero Scootch, with silver lenses and black decals. Just love the way those look. But I guess it would be a matter of taste on the lenses. Link to comment

Darth Agnon[TX] Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 looks fine bro. Although, you might want to remove the mylar. Right now it is acceptable, but we're close to releasing the new CRL which states "(a.k.a. O2 canister) attaches to the back of the belt. This is an all black cylinder 2 to 2.5" in diameter with black end caps and a black control panel pad, with controls closest to the right end cap." so it may be unacceptable by the time you're ready to submit your approval pics. If it makes you feel any better...I currently have it on mine and need to remove it also.... Link to comment
T0R1[TX] Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 yeah i still have to adjust mine T_T Link to comment
Griffin-X[501st] Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Great info since I am working on mine too. My TD is all black and attaches to the belt. Link to comment
065[501st] Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 Oh I see, I'll try to get approved as soon as possible. Link to comment
