the packs are aweful, but the weather is even worse. it looks like they got into a peanut butter sandwhich food fight during lunch time.

im ordering my ROMFX tomw rob~!!!! i too was torn between the hyperdyne and the romfx. both clips sound great. it just seemed a little less of a hassle to get the romfx with it all the stuff its got. http://www.romfx.com but if you have a nice speaker system you are using now and are happy with it, you already have the accessories for the hyperdyne. the romfx is a amp that powers a speaker. so it depends on which way you want to go. both seem really nice. phil[/url]

you can order some online. this place is the most affordable ive found. http://www.woodlandscenics.com/items.htm/E...idPigment#C1216

well then. that just solves the problem now doesnt it! i didnt know you did metal? i thought it was just leather. lol shows how little i know.

got that same problem. they gave me contacts but they couldnt make them the same as my glasses for the astigmatism reason. so i tried to cope with the contacts for a few months but after that i was like screw it. lol

if you have an FX helmet it shouldnt be a problem. i put that on with glasses before. of course my glasses fogged up after a while lol.

just curious, will you be accepting money orders as well as paypals? i cancelled my next tattoo appt cuz i didnt want to be up on the list with no money so its ready when you are. let me know if you need me to send it in early to help pay for parts! thanks!! phil

pvc might be kinda heavy for the mortar launcher. they sell hollow plastic "ice tubes" at art stores that are between 10-25$. light weight and easy to paint. you might ask for ice tubes or just art tubes. im sure if you search google for art ice tubes something will come up. you can order them online in pairs. but pvc will do the job. just heavier x10

YES! that's it! i knew they were something! thanks dude. now i know the name of them so i dont walk into home depot asking around for a metal bandy thing looking like an idiot! haha!

it is pretty cool i must admit. but it does kinda give the impression they are like robots or something. but clever none the less. he did a great job too. i hope to see it in person one day!

dude those are tite. id love one. what do you need?

you know those 2 metal bands on the part where the barrel begins to taper inward? what do you guys think would be best in achieving that look? (maybe know one knows what im talking about....)

i too am interested in picking one of these up. whats the turn around time? i'd prolly wanna go further back on the list so i can get this credit bill paid off. do you take credit card thru paypal? thanks bill phil

looks fantastic. one day i will land me a TE

HAHAH! ive had that same thing happen. someone wearing all black was excited to see stormtroopers, ran up and put his arm around me, and when he stepped away was like..."woah...its so real.." haha and your right, it feels like its just baked onto your armor like the real thing. the worst though is trying to get into it without getting dirt all over my black jumpsuit haha.

nah dude don't be. you're armor looks good. i just wanted to throw that idea out there cuz i didnt know about it until recently and it finally got me where i wanted it to go. i'd definitely troop the way you have it for a while and get those natural scratches and weathering going. it only adds to the awesomeness of being a sandtrooper! goodluck dude!

I totally know the feeling. actually if you are interested, i had the same kind of feelings about that too when i started heavy weathering. initially i spent a lot of time adding on, and wiping off tempera paint (as it is water soluable so it washes away if i want) i trooped around like that for a few months and thought it was still too muddy. so i ended up ordering some earth colored liquid pigment, that is actually like a sandy powder you can order and apply to your already weathered armor with hairspray for a REALLY awesome been out in the sand storm for days upon days effect. below is a link to the site where you can buy the "dust/sand/stuff" not bad.. like $5 a bottle. might need to get more than one. i would definitely so with a larger amount of "yellow ocher" and a little bit of "slate grey". You basically need one of those sponge brushes (dry) and a can of odorless hairspray. spray the area you want the stuff to stick to, sprinkle it on, and lightly dab at it with the sponge brush. works like a charm. its kinda messy at first, but after one troop its pretty stuck on there, and will continue to weather naturally. http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/davin/replica_weathering.htm this is a tutorial to help you do it. just a suggestion of course. i just thought id say something since i was in the same boat as you were and this made all the difference. here are some pics of my armor WITH the earthtone sand. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y112/phil...06/IMG_0489.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y112/phil...06/IMG_0488.jpg
