Airborne Trooper

Requesting my review for the Roughneck 25 award.

25th TROOP!!! FINALLY! What a mile stone and very cool that my 25th was also the anniversary of my very 1st troop. What a way to go full circle! This is the capital region's biggest troop of the year and had a great time trooping it once again as I missed last year due to my entire house having a bug. For those not familiar, Garrison Excelsior covers the entire area of NY state just north of the Hudson Valley area & NYC. I don't get to travel out of town to troop too often so it's one of the few reasons it's taken years to finally hit my 25th. I know some of you can knock that out in 6 months! It has been a great experience these last 3 years and looking forward to many more!

What did you use for the mount on the cartridges that mount on the black seed box?

Based on what the SWAT guys have needed, I would say yes to the lab pipe.

Very nice!

I will definitely ask Anthony Forrest if he remembers you at Celebration!

The forum seems to be working for me now but the home page is messed up.

Those are my kids! They are so used to me being in costume that they don’t even care that much lol.

I’d be interested in the stinger STL

Coming along nicely. I still need to upgrade my pack. I’m most nervous about bending my karrimore frame

THIS is awesome! Love seeing very detailed builds. Troopers helping troopers!

We should really update this. Pandatrooper really paved the way and made it organized but we have troopers who are SWAT that can be great models for these configurations.

Hi, Ryan. I am in your garrison but in the capital district. If you need any help, this is the place to be.

Can we come up with a special hashtag? I’m sure a lot of us will be taking pictures and posting on social media.

Couldn’t think of a better ambassador for our social media presence. Vincent knows his stuff too!

First troop of 2019 and just 1 shy of applying for the Emperor’s Roughnecks Did a small local troop called Books Come to Life that was 3 miles away from home.

Did you buy a pipe bender for the frame? I have yet to attempt to bend mine until I get around to upgrading my seed trays

Looking good, Rob. If you have the file, I have the printer. I’m in the middle of a ion blaster build so what’s one more item to sand?!

Love seeing new members join the ranks. If you have questions or are already beginning your build, start a new topic in the Armorer section.

Don’t fix it if it isn’t broken.

Damn Germans have set the bar high! FANTASTIC looking!

I have had to do this on my kidney plate as I am a fan of IPAs lol. You did the right way and use ABS paste. Best thing to do is sand it and polish it smooth as possible before weathering. I would go back and remove the weathering and smooth it more. If you need to get new thighs, hit up Walt’s Trooper Factory as he makes bigger thighs with little wait time.

22nd troop October 21, 2018 Albany Comic and Toy Show. Helped celebrate Joe Sinnott’s 92nd birthday. He worked on Droids comics for Marvel back in the 80s. 23rd troop November 10, 2018 MiSci Museum of Innovation & Science. Had a great time playing in the museum and interacting with kids.

It’s hard to tell. Since the one I have is not the original part I took the liberty of sanding it down. I think both are acceptable within reason.

Looks great, should be an easy approval.
