Nicole Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Below is literally all I received from my KS armor kit for my TD: I was wondering if I'm suppposed to buy all the other parts, and how I am supposed to build this stupid thing? Sorry I don't know anything about how to make it lol... But I'm completely stopped at this point since I'm lost on its construction. Thanks guys!!

chimei Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 That may be whatthey send. You have the main box and the two end caps. But you are missing the tube, zip ties, clips and greeblies (buttons & knobs). Email them and ask if that was supposed to be included. Perhaps someone else on the board will know I it was a shipping error orif that is all they sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 The problem is that KS is really hard to get a hold of... I've been waiting over a week to hear back from them =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witness Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Now, this is from the Magic Of Myth exhibit. The detonator is missing the greebles (buttons and knobs) and no, at this point we do not have an accurate photo of them. A lot of people use the greebles from MonCal.

Nicole Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Ugg... This is going to completely hault my build. Everything but the TD will be done by tomorrow =\ is there an alternative, such as building it myself or finding substitute pieces at a hardware store?

Dart Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Yup. You just need a knob that's just about the size of a nickel (or a touch bigger) and some have used stick-on black rubber table leg bumpers that are square-ish in shape.

Griffin-X Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I heard from KS last night on my kit (been about 10 weeks now). They had a master cast issue that caused a delay and recast of some parts. That's my issue and I'm working through it. BUT they definitely owe you an explanation. Your kit should have included the helmet lens and the detonator tube. Anyways, you can find similar tubing at Lowes or Home Depot in the plumbing section, near PVC pipes. I have heard vacuum tubing can work too. Just get the right size and paint it grey. The greeblies are kind of another topic. They are typically (and can be) either (2) rectangle and (1) round black button, or (3) rectangle and (1) round black button. Here's a good topic link where I learned some stuff: http://forum.bikersc...?showtopic=8614 501st Biker Scout CRL: http://www.501st.com...B_Scout_trooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witness Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 You don't need the greebles, just the tube on the detonator and attached to the belt. If someone can get her the instructions for the Studio Creations detonator, she'd be squared away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 I love this place, thank you guys sooooo much for jumping in and helping me!! You're all amazing <3 if anyone does have those SC directions that'd be amazing lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Here's the link to their site and the TD: http://www.studiocreations.com/howto/bikerscout/thebelt.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witness Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Here's the link to their site and the TD: http://www.studiocre...ut/thebelt.html That's good, but I meant the PDF showing assembly of the SC thermal detonator using zip ties and connecting to the belt buckle. Does anyone have PDFs of the assembly instructions? Or just a picture of the thermal detonator portion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglie Scout Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Nicole, I have an SC build and I put my TD together like this: Here you can see the single ty-wrap through the centre of the TD which attaches it to the tube at the back. The tube is from a Hoover and I suspect it could be bought from the shops???? As seen here: The two ty-wraps on the outside of the central one attach the tube to the belt buckle. SC drill the holes for you, but I'm not sure if KS do????! They are placed so that when the male half of the buckle is mated with the female, the ty-wraps do not obstruct the mating action - like so: I hope this helps you out somewhat. I'm an Aeronautical Engineer and I scratched my head over it for a little while too !! My build is catalogued here: http://s1202.photobu...0Scout%20Build/ . It may help you out with other stuff as well. Good luck, and above all don't get too angry with it; no-one here has had an easy build!!!!! Best wishes, Andy.

Nicole Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Thanks for all the info! My dad is an aerospace engineer so he has been the mastermind of all the technical parts lol... I have 3 midterm exams Wednesday (boo college) so I won't be starting on his until Wednesday or Thursday night... But I looked at it this weekend and realized I was lost lol. Hopefully I can pool together all this info and figure it out =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 You'll be fine! Good luck on your exams too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
