bowedexpert Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Guys.... I've just started my first build...it's a Tk going to Td. My Thigh Ammo Pack is broken and just cannot source one anywhere. I'm living in a world of hurt at the moment working on armour to get clearance by 501st for first troop on June 20th. Then I want to request deployment with you guys.I put a WIP thread on UK Garrison but no armourer has jumped on it so I'm doing it alone. Can anyone point me in right direction or post a link? Time is ticking..... Sean G aka bowedexpert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainWreck Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 When you say it is broken? Post pics. You might want to try some of the armor makers like Mon Cal. Sometimes they will sell you a single piece and might even have one laying around. Who made your kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowedexpert Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 How do you post pics on here? Unfortunately I got into buying a full set of armour before I knew about you guys and the 501st. So I steamed in on the net and bought an sds. Either end of pack was shaped like a half circle so I've modified it to look proper. Trouble is sds drilled hole at bottom on one side then top on the other. I have managed to connect it but will I get clearance? Will try and get pics on.

Arch27 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 RE: Posting pics. Easiest thing to do is throw them on an image site like Imgur or Photobucket, then share the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowedexpert Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 I managed to get it on the thigh but sds drilled the left hand hole in wrong place. Do I drill correctly and fill hole or source new one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper1 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Yeah and just fill the hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowedexpert Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 Yep....done it.....next is my forearms and biceps. Glued in overlap not butt and can't get apart. Am going to carefully try heat gun then slide knife in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraulein Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 If you used E6000 glue - you shouldn't need a heat gun to remove it. Start small with a razor knife or one of those fat exacto knives. Work that into a small spot and rock it back and forth. Don't force it. Eventually you should get enough space that you can get a larger razor in there and just work it slowly. Using a heat gun might be more trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowedexpert Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Thanks for advice bud.....I would have done that but they were not glued with e6000.it was some sort of heat related glue, done by someone else. I've got small arms so I could get away with cutting on join with sharp scissors then measuring 7.5 mill on each side for 15 mill cover strips. So no damage.
