Has anyone been able to tell if the brow ridge piece is adjustable yet?

Has anyone been able to adjust the brow piece? It looks flexible but I'd love to know for sure. .

Argh. I went ahead and pulled the Ebay trigger and paid a $60 "early-bird" premium to get this guy. These guys need some Official Release Sandy company....

Exactly what I did with mine :) I toned-down the sheen with some sand pastels. Brent

Wow, HUGE improvement. I think the expression is good as well, but a bit of a smirk would capture the iconic Han Solo visage.

Wow....just freakin' wow.

By far the most time consuming part has been getting to the clean white base. The actual mods to get the armor to fit the TT slim can be done in less than an hour, especially if you have a Dremel. If you just want to upgrade the body you can spend five minutes grinding down the thighs on the...

Hey earthdog, The first thing I did was strip as much of the paint/weathering as I could, then sanded out all the mold seams and glue joints. I used gap-filling superglue to fill some gaps on the glued together parts. Once everything was clean and smooth, I test fitted the armor to the TT...

Thanks, Matrix. I'm new to Star Wars 1/6th (since my 12" Luke, Darth and Stormy in 1978, that is :)) and I'm having a ball! brent

Your body transfers have me convinced that I need my other TK to migrate to a TrueType Slim. :) They look fantastic. I've stripped, modded and repainted my SS sandtrooper's armor and put it on a slim, and I really like the look. He has HT hands and boots. The helmet is still a WIP, hence his...

I made some changes to the helmet of my HT Sandy conversion to get it closer to a Stunt example. I extended the frown and opened the eye holes somewhat.

I took your and bransen2099's advice and changed it up a bit, it looks much better. I removed the stand-offs and instead of painting a lighter color, I glued aluminum foil to the bottom. I also recut the sheet under the grate from a thinner sheet of styrene.

They need to double up the clear green sheet for the lenses, you can see through it to the post that attaches the neck to the helmet. I found the same problem on my conversion, so I doubled the lens material and painted the post black. That cured the see-through effect. I love that the helmet...

Definitely looks like it has a stunt helmet grin to go with the raised brow piece. .

they must be 2.5s, the 2.0 had the bulky shoulders and hard plastic torso. brentce

Thats the SS 2.5. The shoulders are narrower and the arms not as bulky- probably a better choice than the 2.0 body for a Stormy. Edit: forgot to add, the upper torso is soft plastic on the 2.5. brentce

I tried it with fewer coils of the LEDs, but it was awfully dim.

I removed the grill piece from the base then pulled the dark grey sheet from under the grill. I used that as a template to cut a new sheet from very thin styrene sheet. The lights are changable LED strip lights. To prevent light bleed-through, I had to paint the inside of the base and grill...

Hi Rubio, Here are a couple more shots. I really need to learn how to take decent pic's.

Rubio95, I'm digging the inspection ready look- nice! brentce
