Apophis

$125(ish) and you can head to Joann's and get everything you need to make your bund, pouches, vest, WW Gloves, suit off amazon, tandy leather for suede, some boots and vinyl.... Get all the soft parts out of the way while you save up for the plasticy bits.

Those look great!

Is it possible to mod the sole to get to Lancer? (and maybe that ugly thread on the velcro)

Approval, probably... Lancer, no. Modify the soles and maybe (I'm not an expert).

Can you PM these? I'm headed for fabric tomorrow (Unless it's the same as the pinned PDF... then disregard).

Merry Christmas everyone! (Got my present last night.... Pre-Order of WTF armor WOOT).

I'm working on it! Hold your horses...

I grabbed these and gotta say they are freaking amazeballs.

Woot! Thanks Dart! Now to figure out how to straighten it.... and clean it up a bit....

Here's a couple pics I took tonight.... Held up good for 6 years and 3 kids under 10 playing with it a lot.... Folding Stock: Firing.... Still is nice and bright.... I've NEVER changed the battery.

I haven't been active in 6ish years. I pulled out my old hold out blaster and can't for the life of me remember who made it... It's quality work, a softer foam-like material (pardon my noobishness).. It's stood kids under 10 playing with it for all this time. So the question is, who made it and is it 501st approvable? Thanks everyone.

I still have this one from way back in '07 http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=2245&hl=%2Bghst915+%2Bcarbine&fromsearch=1

can't wait

excellent points..... As I said I am new at this and just wanted as much info as possible... thanks...

Thanks... that really helped *edit on my own* on second thought... I am not experienced enough in the area of prop building and costuming to throw my .02 into the fray.... sorry...

can I ask a couple questions??? if I purchase a set of MC armor... and out on a troop I bump something and lets say shatter one of my knee pads... I go home and recast from the other pad... (yeah size will be off) NOT TO SELL but to just have replacements....... would that be morally wrong??? or better yet... lets say I mod a rubies helmet... looks great... but I hate the fact that its vinyl and really easy to warp from heat and what not... so I take my modded helmet, that I did all the work on... and I make molds using that and basically recast it to a better material... is that wrong??? (I know this would never happen) but let's say I modded my rubies to the point that it was almost lancer quality... and I recast it to a different material... and I showed it off... and people offered to buy it or asked me to make them one... is that wrong??? rubies made the helmet but the mods are my work... I'm not taking anyone's side.... I feel for the armor makers for people recasting their work and making money off it... I know that sucks... but is it ever OK to recast for specific purposes like the PURELY HYPOTHETICAL situations I described above... (keep in mind I currently don't own any armor... so this isn't a 'friend of a friend' hypothetical) I am just wondering... where is the line...?
