just a couple of questions - Fullmetal - Monday 10-Oct-2011
hey guys I just I've been building my stormtrooper armour and I had a couple of questions first of all where can I buy industrial strength velcro? secondly where can I get a e-11 holster? and lastly is there any armour parties coming up soon? I've got part of my armour done but it can't hurt to get some help

Hey mate,
1/ You can get industrial velcro from bunnings, but it costs a bomb. I guess you could also try some fabric wholesalers in your area, they might have it too.
2/ E-11 Holsters, I think TheWolf was doing them at one stage, there's a pretty easy to follow tutorial floating around the web if you want to give one a shot yourself. You might also find some makers on the FISD board (www.whitearmor.net).
3/ Not sure, but there's bound to be a few coming up to holiday season. Always good to check with others how your armour is coming together. What kind of make is it? Put some pics up in the meantime, always good to see pics

Welcome to the redacks mate.
You don't always need an AP to help with ideas and info. Just mention what side of town you are from and a close-by member may be able to help you out.
If You're in the middle of a build, post some pics up and we can point you in the right direction.

Hi and welcome..
Spotlight fabric and craft stores sell velcro.. Its much cheaper from them and comes in all sizes. (there is a sentence I never thought I would say to another bloke)
RE: just a couple of questions - TheWolf - Tuesday 11-Oct-2011
Phantom may have a lead on some of the really good Velcro, in Windsor... Will have to see though...
I don't have any holsters left, well, one left, but that's promised to someone at present.
I can't do any more until I get more leather, which requires a day off and lots of money... So No holsters at present.

For really good industrial strength velcro, try Trads - http://www.yellowpages.com.au/qld/cannon-hill/trads-liquidation-store-12579114-listing.html really cheap, really good quality
