Hey Recon...no worries. Once you get your armor in, we'll help you put it all together.

As for starting on the TB project, thanks to Hybrid, Paul, Haldir and Frodo...there's a wealth of information right here at the forum. But you can also get help directly from them. They're all really nice! Chakster's a good source too...he was the first TB in the Singapore Garrison and represented us at the 2007 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasedena CA, where 200 strong TKs, TBs and CTs marched on, led by George Lucas himself as parade marshall!

Tks for the help guys.

Currently awaiting confirmation on the armor/helmet set

Out of luck with caboots, current sizes listed for TK ankle boots are US 9.5 and above, where my shoe size is US 8.5.

Have sent an email to pris and joey to enquire the availability of stocks in US 8.5 and to reserve one for if any is available.

Next would be doing the E-11 blaster with mods and add ons. Saw somewhere on this forum the E-11 blaster mod parts are available locally, is it still available?

Wonders should i pay for a fully modded set like this, but then again it might not clear customs due to its likeness to a real weapon.

For boots, buy one size bigger so that it's easier to get your foot in and out. Trust me, when you're suiting up in a carpark, you'll be thankfull for that extra space at the opening. Normally, I take a 9 or 9.5 but ended up getting a 10 in CA boots.

I normally wear size 9 but I'm using a 10 with CA Boots. Wouldn't even mind a 10.5! lol

Hi guys,

Just checked that the CAboots current stock of TK ankle boots have some cosmetic blemishes which are minor, US size 9 is available. Should i go ahead and order one or wait for new stock, which would arrive in Aug 2009

No updates on the armor as of yet..hmm

If its me, I'll go ahead. Usually if CA Boots are selling boots with blemishes, the blemishes are extremely minor and unnoticable. Sometimes, you even get a discount.

Sorry guys for the lack of updates, being super busy with work, meetings, testing and to add on overseas reservist.

It was by a twist of fate, that i would be getting a TK movie accurate fallano armor set sooner than expected. Tks to mosske for his help.

Now to get my boots, gloves and body suit next then need to fixed up the E11 blaster with addon parts before sending it for spraying. (Yes i dun have an airbrush/compressor anymore since i quited modelling a decade ago)

Ohh didnt know that. Actually sent an enquiry to him on the hasbro e-11 blaster and resin parts.

Ok got my Fallano TK Armor/Helm today..hmm need to do abit of polishing and touchup for the helm with toothpaste first to whiten it further the polish it to remove scratch marks and blemishes. Anyone has a spare bottle of novus polisher?

Have to get a dive suit next from diveshop but heard that its currently out of large sizes.

Hopefully there would new stock coming in.

Hmm.. anyone has any idea where to get the helmet liner that's used in safety/construction helmets?

Next would be getting the E-11 Blaster from AnakinSg and E11 addon parts from Craig before assembling them and sending them to a hobby shop for priming/spraying/slight weathering.

TK Boots would tagging along Mosske as he is ordering a pair from CaBoots

Then all i need to do is to wait for an armor party to do some adjustments/tuning before im read to go

Bro, you can get the lycra divesuit from any dive shop...not necessarily that one place that everyone goes to.

mosske · Post by **mosske** » Sun Dec 28, 2008 3:52 am

I just realized I have a spare construction helmet liner lying around my house. Got it with with my Shadow Trooper armor. You can have it, bro.
