DaVe Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 DaVe - USPS Priority mail VF 281 034 000 US Mike, I received my armor today... IT LOOKS AMAZING!!!! Thank you soooo much for all your hard work. I've discovered that I am going to have to do a couple small mod's on the chest and back plates. Apparently, I am alittle larger than your model was. I don't think it'll be a problem to develop a shim for the sides. BTW, this was my Birthday gift to myself this past year. BEST GIFT I GOT!!!! I love it! Thanks Mike... DaVe

pghfett Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 I spoke with Armyscout, our beloved seamtress Denise and her hubby Ross this afternoon and I've decided since the initial run went well I will be opening up the list again here shortly for the upper armor and parts set as listed above, plus the extras. I can always count on these folks to pump me up So if anyone is interested, just keep an eye out on this thread as I will do the armor on a set by set basis, no long run lists and such, but something more casual that fits my schedule more like a one by one kinda thing this way I have alot more control over what goes out the door and a closer relationship with the fan I'm making them for. On an added note - Ross and Denise have alot of new material on the soft stuff so be on the look out for more spectacular things to come on this front as well, which I'm very fired up about. BTY the cod and shins are ready for final molding as well as the small BARC belt - which will be made of the same rubber and backed with material. I'm going to try and make the shins out of rubber making them one piece, as well as the toe armor as well. I'll post progress pics on this once the final mold is done and I move forward. Thanks everyone, and I'm always here if you need help with anything - old school style of costuming ~Mike

TB-7076 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I'm also quite fond of this new development as I was already about to abandon the barc and GM project altogether. This gives me new hope to obtain first class from a first class
Darksaber212 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Mike, I am also glad to hear you will be making more armor for fellow troopers. I had missed the run in the begging and was bummed about not getting a chance to get a set of BARC armor. I will be keeping my eye peeled. So looking forward to this! You da man Mike!
Ladyghost4459 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Thanks Mike for the "beloved" part. Good work appreciates acknowledgement and speaking to you yesterday lit a new fire on my ovens too. That is one of the things about this hobby that I love. That there are so many talents out there and touching base here with each other to share our skills and talents. Good people here who for the most part just try to love the hobby not make a mint. You are the real deal Mike and your work speaks for itself. Thanks for the specs and the friendly conversation, one hobbist to the other. I only wish I had your resources to do the kind of things you do. I know you are a garage /cottage artist like myself and supplies and equipment are as we can get them or make do with what we have. The talent is in making it work.
Acrylikhan Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I can't wait to see what new additions that will come available for this set! Thanks, Mike!! and Denise!!!
Ghst915 Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Denise, Ross and Chris set me straight, LOL They are good people with good advice. If your a relative newbie like me, follow their advice, they have been around the block a few times THANK YOU Mike for you kind words Sir, I was trying my best to call these past few days while working but things have been very busy more then this time last year. I will get in touch with soon. PS. Thanks again for the stuff sent down we can see thigs more clear now. We'll be able to get on them now too.
BrotherHalo Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 JASON! I FORBID YOU TO STOP BUILDING NEW COSTUMES AND LET OTHERS HAVE A CHANCE! j/k!
Gee2 Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Have you been talking to my wife? I can't help it, these things are like Lays potato chips... Jason
blkwolf Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 BARC Upper Armor thread, For the folks who have any interest in doing a 501st BARC, I have started this interest thread for those who have asked about my BARC armor parts. I will be sending out a “canned” PM to the folks listed below, in order who are interested, with complete details of what is required and what is needed. The folks who have agreed to the “canned” PM will be given priority on the lower armor pieces once completed (cod/shins/ knees are already done). This way, folks who asked, can get a jump start on their armor parts… If you prefer to wait to show interest in the full set, that fine as well, I just decided to offer the upper parts as a kit so we can all have something to work on through the winter months and some folks asked. Just to clarify, the PM will reflect the below listed Upper Armor parts include; (1) Chest plate (2) Rear back plate (3) Two shoulder bells (4) Left and right Bicept armor (5) Left and right elbow guards (6) Resin greeblie plate for back plate (7) Rubber shoulder straps (8) Rubber bicept strap and resin bicept greeblies (9) Rubber straps and black elastic strips for both elbow pieces. (10) Knee armor is now included Special added - small rubber greeblies in addition to the resin ones - for a nice choice. All parts are gel coated FG reinforced pieces. 1. Dave - shipped see post #76 2. MJohn20380 - shipped see post #76 3. Acrylikhan - shipped see post #76 4. Azerin - shipped see post #76 5. Special auction winner - shipped see post #82 6. Rudolph - full build in progress ----------------------------------------------------- If possible and if youll have me I am very interested in your armor As I said before I will only buy from you.

Thanks fellas it means alot - and thanks to you TB5994 - that auction really help a person in need, it was a very nice gesture on everyones part. I'll be posting soon for more info on the armor in a few days once I get (1) set caught up and I've not forgotten anyone so please hang in there this stuff takes considerable time to put together and eats up ALOT of my personal time. Lets get them BARCs out there at the conventions and hosptials for the kids, Denise should have some updates soon as to the soft parts (and we all knows the nice work she does) so keep an eye out. ~Thanks again, Mike
TB5994 Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 spooky! starting work on my vest today! Loving the kit mate, perfectly packed, and I have seen all parts of the spectrum now, from bad, all the way up to yours! Hey, your the one that deserves the credit for the auction, that was one of the nicest thigs I have seen ANYONE do!, only too happy to take full advantage of the currency exchange! Now does anyone know a good voodoo doctor who can shrink skulls?
TB5994 Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 ah sussed it, sanded a bit away from the cheek, and around the back, fits like a glove now!
