501st Information

  1. Hey Chopper, I was meaning these areas
  2. Shoulder bells have had their edges curved and eased out the mid bell point. Need to find some white 'wet & dry' or spray putty as the paper left particulate in the areas. Would prefer not to have to do a respray. Im assuming that both sides of the belt should have the same amount of overlap, the bottom has more than the top.
  3. Cummerbund Unpicked the outer ribs on the c'bund and gave it a wash and iron, hopefully these will fade more with a bit more wear, the chest plate and belt will cover the sections on the edges.
  4. Belt As Clu said, "The years (and deconstruction) haven't been kind" This thing has been through a few weight changes and 15 years of trooping, SC armour is a monster. Nothing a little ABS paste cant fix Will wait for that to dry up, sand it all down nice, and get rid of the extra top and bottom. After that, try the Panda method of putting a 3 piece belt (back) together. '
  5. Started a (re)build thread in the appropriate spot. Belts in pieces and the c'bund has the outer lines unpicked, lets see how it comes out of the wash
  6. Bit the bullet after asking a question in this thread and started pulling this old kit apart for an update. Currently my kit is Armour - SC Helmet - Altmanns VCP - Ladyghost Gloves - Pathfinders Run Suit - OMP Boots - CABoots Blaster - Hasbro To do list Replace all elastics & webbing.

Shoulder - Round Corners, change attachment (cable ties), smooth out curve. Back - Fix pinstripes, pop tank and reattach with elastic and rivets. V/C/P - Shorten sleeves, remove extra ribs. Helmet - Change bolts, chin cup, change front greeblie, fix decals, fix up the wear and tear. Boots & Blaster - Replace
  7. Thanks lads. I'll take a swing at straightening those bells and the belt was going to be deconstructed and rebuilt. The VCP will have to go on the list with blaster and boots replacements, i'll try to unpick the outer ribs but after this long who knows.
  8. Time to rebuild this set of SC that has hit 15+ years of age. Not the best pic, but one from last month. Starting with one of a multitude of sins... the shoulder bells look a little large to me, is there a rough top to bottom measurement? Currently they are ~10.5' / 27cm Currently on the to do list is Replace all elastics & webbing. Suit - Remove belt, add straps and saddle.
