What the..?!

Ah good, a Racing Stripe... Puh, i always get a shock when i got those Mirror-Moments when its about Helmet-colors.
 
Never, never, ever start a sentence with 'So'...

The helmets look good tho

Thanks mom it was a miss type it should have been "soft parts". ;) (please note the smile).

I am going to try and get some work done in the next few weeks before I get my RNLT orders. I want to get my SO to also work on some stuff to get her kit progressed further as well.

Cheers,
Robert
 
I have been a bit to busy lately to work on my kit but I have been doing a lot of looking around for ideas on what to do for a blaster. What I found was a very sick tutorial on how to build a blaster.

Here is the link:
David J. Syczylo www.djsyczylo.net

I am going to use an Airsoft revolver instead of a plastic toy as I want a good weight. I will also be using this tutorial as a base of concepts to build my blaster. I was thinking instead of a scope cap for the end I was looking for some sort of chrome tube.

On to Craigslist to find the Airsoft revolver.

Merry Christmas,
Robert
 
We just PCS to JB Charleston, SC and will be moving into our house on April 13. So not much to report till after that date. One good thing though is I have solved my blaster issue. I am on the list to get a Woodchuck Verp. I Should be able to get some plastic card and add some other details to the Verp to make it mine.

Dose anyone know of some good electronics to add to the Verp to get good sound and lights from it?

Cheers,
Robert

I saw one guy mount a shotgun shell on his weapon and he had installed an LED where the firing pin hits it, it was really cool I thought.
 
well... technically the Verpine is a silent, flash-free weapon according to the RC novels. No sound, barely a twitch when it fires and no muzzle flash. That's what makes it the perfect sniper rifle.
 
All moved in and finally had a chance to do some sanding on my bucket. :) I will post some images after a bit more work.

On my desk I have my Verp waiting for some plastic card and some paint work.

Anyone have a pattern for a helmet skirt?

I'm probably going to borrow some of your ideas. I've been doing a lot of searching and studying on how to build up my own armor. A few years back I ordered a rubies boba fett. Total waste of money. Yet, I will probably use some of the pieces as templates. Would be nice to integrate some work related items into the suit.

I'm thinking of using a motorcycle helmet skirt on mine. Should work with a few mods for the cheek pieces.
 
I don't know of any templates, but I made a helmet skirt myself. Check out my thread -- I'm pretty sure I put it up. If not, PM me and I'll do my best to help. (Although, I'll warn you now, my helmet skirt is not the prettiest thing in the world so results may vary, LoL). Congrats on moving in!
