Hawk

Hey guys, I had a guy apparently back out of making me a T-21 (I havent heard from him since April). (On Firespray.) So what do you guys think about these? (This person has two of them selling) http://www.ebay.com/itm/star-wars-stormtrooper-sandtrooper-t21-lewis-gun-blaster-replica-prop-1-/301021805422?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item46164c3b6e Thanks

Got a pic of your set up man?

Okay. Good idea. I may have gotten my numbers mixed up anyway. What I looked at was as thin as I'd dare go. It probably was 1/2" actually. Yes, the straps/harness that holds the backpack on you. There are probably tutorials for that on here that I should look for when I get the chance. But Im currently doing too many things at once. lol

Okay, I went to Home Depot yesterday and checked out pvc piple. I think Ill go 3/4 for a buck twenty. It seems sturdy enough to build a frame out of. Thoughts? So Ill build my own frame. I will find some thing that might look interesting for a heavy weapons pack. My BIG question at this point though..... WHAT DO I USE FOR A HARNESS????

So Dirty Boy, What do you build the frames out of? I think once I have that, the rest SHOULD be fairly easy. Just walk around Walmart/Lowes/Home Depot/etc. and find stuff that strikes my interest. Right? Definitely feel free to email me any suggestions/tips/tricks/etc. Thanks again guys! I was afraid this was going to be yet another project I would have to put off due to costs.

Thank you! All good information! Also very helpful information. Thank you as well! What do you build the frames out of? I think once I have that, the rest SHOULD be fairly easy. Just walk around Walmart/Lowes/Home Depot/etc. and find stuff that strikes my interest. Right? Definitely feel free to email me any suggestions/tips/tricks/etc. Thanks again guys! I was afraid this was going to be yet another project I would have to put off due to costs.

I have had some tell me that I can build one for $50 from stuff at walmart, but also heard that's not even close to how much it'd cost. So approximately how much does it cost to build your own from scratch? I need a backpack for the Heavy Weapons Trooper Im making. It doesnt have to be screen accurate per se. Just cool looking. Thanks

Hehe.. Ya caught me! Yeah, when I first learned about that there were authentic costumes, it was by seeing an Arc Trooper. So when I first decided to get into the 501st, I was actually thinking going Arc Trooper or Clone Trooper, but, being from a small town at the time, I realized most people would not recognize them as easily as a Stormtrooper. So when I started looking around I started seeing the TD's that people had done and I figured I'd do that eventually after I got my TK. But yeah, there's still a place in my heart for them Arc Troopers/Clone Troopers, and I guess it's showing haha. I just didn't realize it would be that obvious. lol I may add some brownish here and there at some point, but Im really partial to that more unnatural battled out look. Thanks for the links man. I'll have to check them out! I started my helmet too. I'll have to get pics when its done. Thanks again for your comments! I appreciate the feedback!

Well, this started out as something I wanted to do as a temporary thing. But now that I've done it... I think I may not turn back. But... I have to get read for Star Wars Weekends at Disney! So I need to get the ab plate and the sniper knee. If anyone could help me out there it would be appreciated! ANYWAY... I did all of this today! With a little bottle of black paint, a piece of spung/foam and a lot of paper towels. LMK what you guys think! I have actually played with the idea of going TD, well, since I started actually. I usually sport a pauldron when I troop. But I just never got up the nerve to try it until today. Here's what Ive done so far....

"Fix" them?

Hey all! I am planning on going to an event this sunday, but I was thinking since I have a pauldron and ammo pouch (I know other things are needed to make it official) that I'd like to see if how I'd like the "dirty" effect on my armor. But I want it to be easily removable so I can either 1) Go back to clean or 2) Remove it so I can do it the right way. It also has to be something easy that I can do today. (if that is possible) Maybe something at a local store I could pick up? Again, this is just going to be a TEST run sort of thing. Nothing that needs to be permanent. If/WHEN I DO go official TD, I want to do it right and make it look REAL good. So this is just a temporary thing for this weekend. Any suggestions?

I found it... Repeat.. I found it! http://www.hyperdynelabs.com/docs/pro_trooper_bh_amp_new.pdf

Hey guys... I lost my instrctions for my Hyperdyne Voice Amp. I really need someone to give me the link where I can download them from please. I need 'em quick! Thanks!

Hey guys, Hawk here... I am looking to get into airsoft guns. Some guys near me just started playing. I want to get a good gun. Anyone have some info/advice? Where to look? What is good? Or maybe even where to get info? Thanks

I got myself an Master Replicas Collectors Edtion bucket, and I need advice tips or general help on moding the ears and such. I am very leary to take it apart myself. So the more specific the advice the better. Thanks! Somethings it needs modifications on: Ears - they stick out too far Aerators need replacing. I need to know how to remove them. I already have replacments I got from Stomper. Lenses The frown needs some work - mainly some paint which I can do. But also needs widening I THINK. The seem needs fixing but Im going to wait on that.
