Ok what do I need to do to see the MEPD in my detachment section on the legion boards. At the moment I don't see anything.

Wooot. Thanks All

Thanks Marcus. Don't worry about the delay.

Sweet! Thanks from a extremely huge photo editting noob!

Ok I have been really slow at getting this done. Thanks for all the help from everyone here.

Let me know if you want some that are a little brighter. [/img]

Marc, These are the ones that I have that you were looking at this weekend. http://www.ima-usa.com/product_info.php ... 7cbe28c2f1 I really like mine and dyed them with Rite black die.

Haha. Now that makes sence. I was actually quoting Brak's guide in my earlier post. All it says it to apply the fullers with "hairspray and a sponge brush" I figured that the hairspray was to make it stick, but rubbing it on with the brush didn't seem right. I like your method Rachel. I'm sure that's what Brak's guide was referring to.

Don't want to steal your thread Rachel, but you might want the info too. I have my fullers but am a bit confused on the application. Braks guide says "Fuller's earth is applied with hair spray and a sponge brush" Thought I get some input on this from the pros. Not exactly clear on the hairspray and sponge brush method.

Thanks so much for the tips. Luckily I was using a test piece when I was having these problems. For some reason I was thinking woodlands was acrylic. I'll have to look for some tempera paints or just getting the woodland set.

Ok so I am following the wonderful guide found here http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/davin/re ... hering.htm However I am having problems with step four. "Allow the pigment to dry and then take a second crumpled paper towel and gently wipe of most of the weathering. The pigment will naturally stick better in some areas than others. Make sure very little is left." It says to let the paint to dry but if I do that it is too hard to remove. I am not using the pigments from the guide but rather some acrylic paints bought locally. For those of you who have used acrylic paints how much did you allow the paint to dry if you did at all? If I let the paint dry I have to scrub the thing soooo hard that it takes over an hour to take it off so I have to be doing something wrong or I have some crappy paints. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The pauldron that Seth is working on for black and orange will be screen accurate and will not have the middle seams. I had the same question myself.

I thought the style would be pushing it. I didn't think about the armor issue until you mentioned it. I would have to do some hacking and slashing to get them to fit under the armor. Guess that's why I kept the receipt. Guess I just need to bite the bullet and get some from CA. At least I won't have to do any work on the CAs. Hehe.

Hey guys I found these the other day and wanted to see if they would make the cut. I would of course have to remove the strap thing and paint the upper white but if they will work they would be a steal. I know the sole isn't the flat that we see on most stormtrooper boots but hey Sandtroopers would need a nice nobby sole anyways. Any imput would be nice.

I know this is late in replying to this but J. Rinzler is holding an event tomorrow that the alpine garrision is trooping. So I'd thought I'd see if you guys had any questions you would like me to try to get answered. I will be checking this before I head over. So feel free to post any questions before 10:30am MST. ~Dave

Just AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll have to get one of these on order soon.
