11b30b4 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Joe, are you going to paint or dye the chin cup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I scuffed it, painted it with 4 coats of montana black, and then dry brushed a little titanium on it.

Minimo Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Woohoo, just got my e22 in, pretty nice, but heavier and more delicate than I was expecting, anyone know how they hold up to trooping? Also, does the back sling buckle need to be silver? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main body is solid, but there are several details that feel a bit fragile. I wouldn’t let kids handle the blaster. A few remarks for level 2, you’re correct the buckle needs to be silver. There has to be a swivel lug on the other side of the blaster too. This bolt should not be sunken but a round headed hex bolt. The blaster has a red strip. In that case we expect you to have the hero version with working leds behind those strips, at the tip of the hengstler counter, and behind the flashlight. If you don’t have the leds the red strip must be removed to make it a stunt blaster. Check out FarEast’s Vanguard application, he had similar issues with his blaster.

Minimo Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hiya peeps! Hopefully you are all safe and enjoying some baby yods today!! Thank you all who helped me reach my Vanguard goal! You are all amazing and could not have done it without your support.

Minimo Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Good morning peeps! I recently ordered an Imperial Boots ST shirt and wanted to post some side by side photos for those who were trying to decide the best option for them Imperial Boots (IB) is the darker of the two, being a really dark grey and the attached neck seal.Shev’s is the lighter grey with the separate neck seal. I wanted to test out the IB shirt, because it looked a bit more comfortable to wear. After testing they are both very similar in comfort with IB being easier to put on but a slightly hotter material. Shev is a little more difficult to put on and may require someone to double check that the neck seal is correctly tucked in. IB is a bit easier to keep tucked in correctly for me ,due to the Shev’s shirt being much much shorter. I have not tested shirt stays with either, but it could help both. I was only reviewing for comfort and ease of putting on as quality and accuracy will be dependent on what independent goals are. They are both great shirts. Here are the pics: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaryGuy Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Thanks Joe, great side by side comparison! Comfort and the steep price of the Sheev shirt made me stick with the IB shirt (I have two of them). Replacing the black mesh with the correct grey mesh is still on my wish list. I had already replaced the velcro with a zipper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimo Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Hope everyone is prepping up for the holidays! I have not been working on anything of mine recently, but I did do a ST bucket for a buddy. I think it turned out pretty good!

Minimo Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 Hey peeps! Doing some upgrades to my shore! New shins, back plate, biceps, and bucket. I decided to go with Sidejoes cast and I must say, I am impressed so far… It’s a bit smaller than my Nico, which I think will help my overall dimensions!!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgabriel74 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Joe, What you used to weather your boots, sandpaper? Also, the boot color have different shades of brown. My approval is subject to weather the pants (I read some use "baby powder"?) and the boots. I'm kinda running out of time because SuperCon started Today (Jul-12-24) but I'm going on Saturday, trooping for the 1st time. I hope there is not much work into it, so I can do it Friday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boots are beaten to hell and back! I used sandpaper, wire brush, and a heat gun to break them down. Would then bring the color back with black and dark brown show polish. Repeated that process three times to give it a layered weathering. Lastly took pastels to weather the black area and sole, to resemble debris and sand.Here is the color you should aim for:Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
