70th Explorers Garrison: Forums

got some parts from our XO today! (thanks chris) just talked to fenix..... he hasnt shipped my armor. he says it goes tomarrow, he felt the set he was going to send wasnt up to par, so he cast a new set of armor. pics soon

ok, cant find my camera..... but the chest box is done minus straps. ive strapped one shin (why i chose to sew the straps on ill never know).

helmet- need to add fans
chest armor- MIA
chest box- done (thanks chris!)
body suit- should be here in 2 weeks
boots- here
shins- here (thanks tim!)
cod- here
gloves- SHG are here
belt- on its way.

im going to reverse engineer an ESB belt to get my ANH look. upgrade later. ill post the process if it works.

industrial Velcro works great. good luck with fenix, i still haven't gotten what i ordered from him (almost 3 months now), i do believe if i ever get it in, there will be a posting on the sith forums about it. he seems to have become quit unreliable.

which is suprising, he's always been reliable in the past. im thinking of just buying some finished spfx armor to go with my spfx helmet. i dunno, i just cringe at his prices though. i hope you get it!

i spoke with claudio at custom props, body suit ships monday! i cant wait!

New belt is here, along with chest box and cod piece. belt looks like ESB, so tonight ill take it apart and start changing it to ANH.

good luck with the belt.

well, im in the process right now. ive put smaller knobs and some red washers, working on the front screen area right now. thanks tim!

edit; ok, here goes nothing. got one box converted, one is about 1/2 way done. i encourage our vaders to speak up on what they think of this conversion ive done. tutorial may be on its way depending on what you guys think.

sound system here!!!!! bought me a cheepy mp3 player, uploaded breathing files. then ordered a amplifier hopeing it does as advertized. ordered the Aker 1505 amp and head set. has a second input (mp3 player in this case) and both work the same time without cutting the other off! and the shocking part is it works! very loud, crisp speaker (and its black!). highly recomended as an alternative! ill get some pics up saturday!

so i lied about pics.... ive got some good news however, ive tracked down another shoulder and chest armor! hopefully it will be here soon from a fellow sith in the empire garrison. the final pieces are coming together.

you know they will both show up at the same time

got my material for cape and robe! wahoo! forward progress! headed to the XO's for some sewing lessons this weekend! (thanks chris!)

due to running out of time for make a wish, and LA's chest plate being on the slow boat from argentina, ive decided to build my own set. from scratch! ive fiberglassed every thing, just need to bondo in the details and i should be good. would take a pic for you guys, but dad left the camera out and tyrael (my 10 month old husky) knocked the camera to the floor shattering the lense. thats it for now troops!

It is nice to hear you tackling the fiberglassing. That's a bit of a bummer about your camera though.

cant wait to see it

well, no vader for make a wish. im just a little P.O'd right now. so disgusted with vendors promising you things and never delivering!!! ahhhhh! just gotta vent. between the armor issue and now my body suit wont be here for another 2 weeks im just flat fed up. if you promise something on a given time frame and you dont deliver, or cant make said deadline, contact the client!!!! contacted CP (who promissed the suit buy last friday) and he tells me he hasnt started on it because he lost my measurements? an email would have been nice, rather than waiting for me to contact him. i guess there isnt any comon sense out there anymore. thanks for reading and letting me vent. keep tuned kids, looks like ill be a pilot next week.
