Re: Looking for assistance (TK build)

Welcome! :cheers:

I'm nowhere near Ypsilanti but I'd be more than happy to help out over pictures and text! :P Any questions, feel free to post them. I built the same suit you've got years ago. It's not as scary as you think!

This, plus they're also built custom to our bodies.

Re: Recommendation for shirt maker

I work for a screen printing company here in Grand Rapids.

Be careful choosing a business as many of them are simply brokers that sell your order to an actual screen printing shop and pocket the difference (source: about 80% of our business :D ).

I’m trying to be patient, but am anxious to join the ranks of the empire. Hope to hear from you soon. Long live th...

Re: Need TK build advice

I dug up a photo from when I was at the same point as you. Here's the side view of what my armor looked like before cutting an angle on the butt plate, and putting everything together for approval. Screen Shot 2019-03-08 at 7.53.19 AM.png I'm not familiar with FX but it seems kind of oddly shaped. ...

Re: Need TK build advice

1. Yeah, more or less. When doing fitting you're going to want to tape those together on the side for the correct fitting. 2. Usually it kind of sits on top but overlaps in the corners in some cases. I've never seen a back plate that's shaped like yours, though. So it's difficult to make any recomme...

Re: TK Helmet fan system recommendations?

I would recommend either Henry's Helmet Fans, or just get some cheap squirrel fans and do 'em yourself.

The latter would be the cheapest way to go. Just buy some small fans and a USB adapter.
