Hey Dee Oh I was hoping that someone has a sandblaster I could borrow/use/etc. My belt pouches need to be repainted (again) and I would like to get the old paint off before attempting a third paint job. My pouches are rubber and I painted them with Rustoleum Flexseal. I thought I prepped them correc...

Sigh of releaf (I can't believe the releaf is spelled right)

Ebay just made a determination, in my favor. Thet determined that the package was delivered to the wrong address so I'm getting a full refund.

Now I have to make a trip to Westland to purchase the Husky Tool Box that I found on Letgo.

Update Well today was... The seller of the tool box finally got around to update the shipping info. She updated it by posting the SAME EXACT Tracking Number. ARGH add random expletives that are/is not suitable for mixed company. It is obvious that she has not read a single one of the 6 messages I se...

I found a Husky tool box on Letgo for $50. I'm just waiting to find out what is going on with this ebay purchase first. I don't need 2 tool boxes. (I know, famous Last Words)

Well Thats interesting... I was following your advice Mike, and I discovered that the top edges did not line up a long the front seam. I pulled the edges apart and discovered that a 1/2" was missing. I looked through my scraps and there was enough on the drops t account for the deviation. Oh We...

Hey Dee Oh Short Story - I'm having a bit of trouble sizing the arms on my TK. It doesn't help that I don't know what I'm doing. And it also doesn't help that I can't find anything detailing how the process is supposed to work (they all seem to focus on construction, not sizing) Longer Story - I tri...

As of right now, I have not heard back from this seller. So I started the process to get a refund by reporting that I have yet to receive this item.

The Next stage happens on Thursday.

Funny, I have been on Ebay for almost 18 years, and this is only the second issue I've had with them.

Hey Dee Oh I have Finally come to the realization that my wheeled Duffle is to small for my needs. (curse you spell checker for not knowing how to spell Duffle/Duffel/Big Bag with Handles) I found and ordered one of the BIG Stanley tool boxes off of Ebay for $58 with free shipping. Almost 2 Weeks la...

Alrighty, I guess my motivation finally kicked in. :wall: I recently finished the rough trim on my TK and ordered my TK Boots. :thumbs: I have spent last night and this morning watching YouTube Videos on fitting and assembly. :hidepc: OH MY GAWD these guys are B O R I N G . :tired: Who told them tha...

Anyone can plan armor parties anytime they want.

My problem is not a desire to host an armor party, but lack of space.

it looks like I must motivate myself to finish this armor

It didn't work for me trying to get my Old Rex into the 501st

Darkside Cookies? I never saw them. Honest. No really. I mean it.

I still say pick an area and everyone helps each other do all that to completion. Arms or legs most likely. Next armor party move onto the next section, etc. my goal was not to bring the entire armor kit, if possible. The idea for me is, the less parts I move the less parts I have could misplace.

So what is the plan?

Everyone work on a specific part at the same time? if so, which part?

Or, is everyone going to work on whatever they want?

If you have your kit, feel free to fill out the online application: http://www.501st.com/members/join_form.php I followed that link and it says to complete registration when you have a completed costume. I have a box of untrimed parts Yes indeed. I have 3 dremmel tools as well as a ton of cutting i...

Hey Dee Oh

I've heard mention of an armor party to work on these kits.

I want to make sure that I don't miss out on the fun.



On a seperate, but related note... I have a box of plastic parts in my living room that is calling to me. I'm not sure how much longer I can resist.

I was hoping that an armor party or 2 would form to tackle this.

Sign me up


I can bring tools. (dremel, Belt Sander, ect) and a procratinators determination

How do I put this...

It's Here! It's Here! It's Here! It's Here! It's Here!
