  1. Internet is one thing, but I no longer have time to order stuff. Halloween is tomorrow and I'm building my sons armor. Its cool. We just aren't one hundred percent screen accurate yet.
  2. I see now. Some of these specifics I hadn't noted until I really began the build of the strapping. Like today. The snaps that you happened to have put on the chest plate near or under the breasts, are those actually on the back side of the breasts or just below that?
  3. Those split rivets have been rather difficult to find. I think I'm high on ABS glue, you hosers.
  4. I see ok. TM when I look at your build here: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/8240-the-right-hand-side-snap-and-chest-and-back-question/page-2, it seeps you used snap plates at the shoulder, then a middle snap to conventionally connect the shoulder bells. Additionally, on that same photo, it seems that your breast plate is overlapping your abdomen. Is that ok for my son's armor?
  5. What type of glue is this to connect an elastic strap to the ABS back ?

  7. I think what is clear here is that you need to be GML and the other dude needs to understand materiality. I'm not going to cut slack for silliness.
  8. Also see the trooperbay.com video. That isn't actually precisely how everybody builds, but itll give you the balls to cut armor. Heh. I've been watching Hellboy. Can you tell?
  9. I drive a Sequoia, so I'm of no help whatsoever.
  10. Also try this recent how to thread by wolfman. in this manner we built my sons Troopermaster bucket in about two hours, not including ears or paint: http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=12260&page=1entry156670
  11. Star wars helmet.com is a big help for seeing how things actually looked.
