Use something like Imgur to attach links to photos Shada TB-27138

I also have SC armour and found it good value, easy to build to Lancer standard, and Jeff gives great service Shada TB-27138

I’ve also got an SC/Alt combo and it works well Shada TB-27138

Yeah, that extra 10cm or so of width on the right boot is a real pain - I forget to allow for it every time I suit up after a break.

Velcro goes the whole length Shada TB-27138

It may be hidden but looks close to the edge to me. I'd suggest using a paper cutout (or vinyl if you've done it) and position it to see how it lines up Shada TB-27138

Pandatrooper's build thread is a fairly detailed explanation of how to build an SC. just make you check the instructions that come with it against the CRL as the instructions don't necessarily match (belt rivets esp. were wrong in the instructions I used a year ago - may have changed now though) Shada TB-27138

I put in flat laces (more sneaker-style than boot) with a toggle, as in Panda's thread - works well Shada TB-27138

Try Darth Vorhees on this forum - he makes nice blasters. And don't add a glass lens as it's not screen accurate Shada TB-27138

Congrats Boris - welcome to the team.

I used spray paint, imaging I was painting something about 15cm in front of the armour and not worrying about overspray. The trick is to go light - it's a subtle effect cf a Sandtrooper. I also used the paint and wipe off technique on my boots as they'd normally be dirtier. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have an Altmann and the wait is worth it - I think I was quoted 6 weeks and it arrived in 8. To put it in perspective, have a look on FISD: quoted times for TK makers tend to be in the 9+ month range, while Anovus is getting a reputation for continually pushing back shipping dates Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I used the liner of a hard hat, Velcroing the hard hat outside to the inside of the Altmann- it's worked well for 20-odd troops since June. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can remove mine for transport - have tested and can squeeze everything into a suitcase if I need to, but I haven't had to yet. I suppose you could store things but find the pouches give me enough storage already Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I added a strip of elastic with Velcro on the ends, which I riveted to the back of the holster. I strap it around my calf before closing the boot and putting the blaster in. It holds it up well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I copied Mustangman and would recommend it - holds fast, looks good, and can be removed if you want to pack it down smaller for transport (I store mine attached in a box for trooping but have done a test fit that shows it can all fit in a suitcase if I need to fly with it) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did something similar to Retrofire but used Velcro to attach the remnants of the hard hat to the inside of my bucket - gave me flexibility to reposition if needed. There are photos on my (Shada's) build thread but I can't easily link to it now as I'm on my phone Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In all of the comparison threads I've read Alt seems to be considered the go-to bucket for big heads. I have an Altmann myself and can recommend it as a nice bucket Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My main attachment is Velcro to the bund, which is how I store it, but I also have Velcro on the top so the chest armour sticks to it as well and doesn't ride up when trooping. The quoted photo is screen accurate if you want to be a captured rebel soldier, but would just look sloppy if you actually trooped like that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I also printed the first one and used it for my initial troops. Worked ok but I upgraded to a Darth Vorhees after that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
