After the colmplete assembly of the Cistern siphon,HB stackers,twinkie lid, scoop and funnel, I am not sure how to attach it to the blue box.

I recieved my ROM/FX Sound board today
is there anyone who has this type of Voice Amp. if so where is a good place to mount it? I also have the E-4 SKULLWORX unit. -
items and tools that were used.
0000 wool I used this to dull down the color of the boxes and then washed them w/dawn dish washing liquid.
here are the colors of paint that were used,thanks to TK-409 for the paint color of the blue/gray boxes. (SLATE BLUE 240251)
this is the book where I found some of my items.
I used a sharpie to trace around the lip,so that I could get as close as possible w/out cutting the original edge of the boxes. although the blk. boxes are not shown I used a chalk pen that is used in welding for marking the metal.
primed and re-painted!
1/8 plexi- glass uesd to support the bolts/nuts
upper box before weathering and attaching items.
each item is weathered before attached to the box,so that I can get into the crevices w/out the paint from puddling up. Pic was taken w/out the flash,it appears to look white but it is not.The weathering that was used is the same as what was used on my armor.
will post more pics when have time.

materials came from Woodland Scenics' Earth Colors Liquid Pigments. 4 oz. bottles of Raw Umber (mfg. part # C1221), Yellow Ocher (mfg. part # C1223), and Burnt Umber (mfg. part # C1222). also Fuller's earth from cineshoppe.com in natural color (FE-0030N) and slate grey(FE-0030G). The technique came from this site. http://www.looksirdroids.com/replica_dirty_tutorial.htm

I did a search for "Pauldron" but came up empty. The pauldron has ribs in the white and black part of the pauldron, Is there a templete so out there so that I can make one? I have a Orange pauldron but it does not have these rib lines. I like the white better due to the detail.

Does anyone suggest the seperation of the upper/lower abdoman? Is there a topic on where and how to remove the section?

I replaced the old ab with a TD ad plate insert, It is to my understanding that there are to be 3 buttons to the right, which I do not have where do I find these buttons? if there seems to be anything else wrong feel free to add comments.

Hello everyone, first of all my name is Shane, I have been lurking around here for a while now.I am a member of the C T.N and TDH. I have 2 costumes now,a FX with some mods for a sandtrooper and ESB Boba Fett,which both are a working progress. And picked up OSCS armor but it has not arrived yet, I need to gather some info. on my FX armor to make it a TD. If for some reason I have post this in the wrong place,please point me in the right direction.
IPS Weld on
in Sandtrooper Armor

the 1/2 pint glue that came with FX armor "IPS weld on ABS 2771" mine has dried out. I need a pint can with out buying a case of 24. Lowes does not carry it and what they sold me to use well.... I'd be better off using rubber bands, any suggestions on where to pick up a can?
