lovely build, any links to the ribbed elastic you found?

i'm sorry Matt....

no no, not you fella,seems the auto save function lost a bit of the post, its directed at Nathans original post. I lost the post, went back to it and the autosave recovered most, missed a few lines though! Blu ray images inbound, until then, its all gravy.

lol, read what I wrote first Allan..... What your trying to justify you based your two tone bund on is nothing more than a cgi attempt to define depth via shadowing, to define the ribs in the bund at distance. none of the up close images show a two tone bund, not one, why are you basing something on such weak evidence? lets go through your images you are basing it on.... "battle scene" pic 3, Kt on left... REALLY??? its a square block of dark blur... what about the rest of the bund you can still visibly see, that's ALL one colour... and its NOT two tone striped... poor evidence. Back shot of bund pic 4... I cant even work out which KT on the right your on about, the one in the foreground seems to have a single line of grey in reality about 2 inches long to the top left of the centre pouches... so not the complete band, in a stripped pattern? no, just a single line..... You don't even comment on the next two.... is that because one is the hallowed 3d render, that doesn't show a striped two tone bund, all it shows is a shadowed image, as you can see the shadow line across the pouch flap top right. The BEST image we have to work with, you dismiss entirely, I would like to draw you to the KNOWN grey parts of the costume. the straps behind the knee, and the two strips on the bund.... now how can your bunds two grey colours be darker than the two strips on the belt??????? if you can answer me that, I'll eat my hat! surely that's the simplest piece of evidence that discredits a two tone striped dark grey bund? no?

Currently waiting on a friend grabbing 1 to 1 screen grabs from his blu ray. Its a shame they didn't get the CRL right a year ago or we wouldn't be having this discussion "again"... lol Your image your circling is inconsistent due to the clarity and the fact that one looks dirty white (at best) and the other, tan. Trooper on the right, a closer picture, tan. What we've yet to see, is a KT with actually white boots.... Given that they are camouflaged troopers, based on a homeworld that is jungle terrain, i'm struggling to find any logic as to why they would have white boots in the first place.... Given cost was not an issue for the costume makers due to cgi, and (to my knowledge) no military units, current or historical, wearing camouflage, were issued white boots to "blend in". Currently, the cgi images we have are inconsistent at best, to the extent that the person that wrote the current crl is now questioning the CRL. What can we draw on for a conclusion? pre production images show white.... without question Screen grab in uber hi def, shows tan.... without question Logic, cammo'ed soldier in jungle wearing white boots? More likely tan, or at least a colour that blends in with surroundings. "Screen" accuracy is key here, what is seen on screen, analyzing blurred dvd grabs wont get us anywhere... dvd = 8gb, blu ray = 45gb.....

probably a bit big... go for squirrel fans for a directional jet of air, to aid in lens demist ect, or 35-40mm low voltage ones, that 9V will buzz in your bucket like a swarm of wasps!, not to mention sting if you catch any facial part on it!

I like how you can find only one blurry screen shot, but multiple 3d renders... I thought the point of this was to make the CRL "Screen accurate" not 3d render accurate? One grab from the glimpses of them on screen, a few seconds later others are blasted off their feet, currently having a friend grab them too from a blu ray copy for us. Please tell me you can see the difference between the WHITE straps, and the TAN boots?

not quite sure why if your still using your 3d renders for your multicam pouches, your not using the same renders to clearly see its NOT two tone deck chair esque grey/dark grey??? its a similar tone to the base of the armour, with weathering, simples...

Not grey Suede all the way, riding wear patches are predominantly suede, the is the biker is the evolution of the Kashyyyk, as the TK is the clone, follow the logical similarities, which were no coincidence, and you'll come to the logical conclusion, that they would be suede, not leather.

scratch one for teamwork!

try it, rough up two bits of hips and stick them together with your putty... no reason why it shouldn't work, but no loss if it doesn't!

Start with 100% pure Acetone, buy a gallon. Pour an ounce or so into a glass jar (small open mouth jar). Take a scrap piece of abs and using something sharp, scrape off peelings (like pencil shavings size) into the jar of acetone. Put allot of shavings in, the acetone will gradually melt the plastic into a goo. Add enough plastic until the goo reaches toothpaste consistency. Once you have a good batch melted put the lid on the jar tightly and set it aside. Now, prep your parts, put in a grove where you want the join, somewhere for it to sink in and bite to. Smear on some plastic goo, leave it crowned up over the crack like a regular weld looks, let it cure overnight. Sand to flush the next day, fill any pinholes with JB Weld. The crack will practically disappear at this point, paint as normal

you could always try filler primer, as its thicker than normal primer, it should stop the resin absorbing the paint, which is what it looks like, the resin is sucking the paint in like a sink hole...

yeh shipping is stupid, but I have no issue whatsoever in picking up ddpm and shipping it to the US, that way you wont pay over the odds retailers charge in shipping!

GF or Follano is one of the original stormtrooper armour makers, long since put out of business by LFL... http://www.starwarshelmets.com/imperialfanGF.htm

you can pick up plastic primer, a base coat that bonds to plastic, giving you a nice base

it can be "ironed out" believe it or not... using a modeling iron, you can locally heat the area to rework to a degree the affected area... personally, send it back and buy a better quality lid, seeing as its where the most focus will be when your wearing it, its best to be the best you can afford... Rose parade, I wore FX armour and a GF lid... the complements I got were awesome, I had to point out to them I was wearing the same armour as them, they were convinced it was 100% GF... but they spent 95% of the time staring at my helmet (finar finar!) Mikes right... not very likely to get much better tbh...

Personally, I don't care how this pans out... I know my costume looks like it does on screen. I'm cleared, it makes no difference to me. The reason I am here is because I don't believe the CRL is based images seen on screen, therefore inaccurate. Its now come to light that its based on a pre production image only one member has seen... not the film millions have seen.... Now if you think that's a little strange, seeing as we strive for screen accuracy, stop following the herd, grab some screen shots, either way, prove me wrong or lets iron out the creases and get this sewn up. The time frame is irrelevant... those that are caught in limbo, if the CRL is changed, I suggest they simply message the DL, who can communicate with their GML. If its wrong, why drag it out? get it changed, move on.

nope, these are simply poached straight from the web, the last image is in the visual dictionary iirc, I couldn't find our copy of ep3.... (or 1 and 2 for that matter) yesterday, so had to make do with tinterweb

I cant believe, since 2006, nobody to my knowledge has tried dying US Desert cammo? its not far off ours, the worry is, its going to contain more poly... I fear we maybe trying to find a solution to a problem that will arise in about 5-10 years time, when original stocks have dried up and repro stuff is non existent... I bring you to the UKG's internal "battle" with a group of prospective US Colonial marines and the Marine "Armourers" and RI GML... they can only source the reproduction combats from one person... still not stopping them.

I put mine on Tim, and it felt like someone was digging through my shins with a spoon!!!! Dremel to the rescue!

i'd give them a shout... those are some nasty pulls... ask for a better shroud, you cant work with that!

? your comment was either a strangely flattering complement, given the circumstances, or a cheap dig at me.... now i'm betting on the latter, either way, I meant my retort, the swear word is not directed at anyone, just emphasizing the statement, we are all over 18 on these forums, I don't see where I was not being civil, given my interpretation of YOUR comment (which I may be wrong, therefore I apologize) it would be you that is not being civil...

"now if u use your usual influence to get my current DL to force a 3 month time fame on me, i will abide by the rules and listen to my DL. cos i realise your are an exGML of the UKG and hence a very impt person" Awww now come on... the posts on the boards this evening CLEARLY show being the ex GML of the UKG means absolutely NAFF all to anyone... The Current DL has made changes to the Bikerscout CRL within his last term at the helm... that was less than a year... nothing takes 2 years Nath...
