  1. Looking good Lee, I'm sure you will be deployed in no time.
  2. Requesting Sandtrooper access. David Boyd TD6537 BOYDEY http://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=14640 Thank you.
  3. Wahoooo!! Cheers Brad. My call sign will be BOYDEY.
  4. I did keep the weathering fairly light on the pack, although the lighting does make it look existent. I'll dirty it up a bit more.

  6. A few more photos of the progress I've made. I think im pretty much there with the weathering?? Still got to make a few adjustments to the strapping and need get the thighs sitting at the same height.
  7. This is a copy of my WIP thats over on the UKG. Thought I would put it up on here too so I can get some feedback from you guys as well.......... I've been plodding along with this for a while now, slowly collecting everything together. I finally feel like I am getting somewhere so I thought I'd better start a WIP, so here goes. I started off with the helmet, it was built up when I got it and had some yellowing due to being out on display. Its had a coat of white paint and i've hand painted all the decals except for the tube strips. Next I started on an MG 15 build as I couldn't find anyone that sold them. [/url[/url I have Mr Harris to thank for the fantastic paint job. Next up I made a start on my pack. I chose the "Move Along" pack. I decided to have a crack at some vac forming so I could make my own 'seed trays'. After that came the pauldron, pouches and boots. And finally the armour..........

I've left finishing off some of the return edges until I've had a chance to suit up.
  8. Started to put my Pack #2 together at the weekend. I'm really struggling to find any detailed pictures of it, so i've used some artistic licence. I would really appreciate any feed back.
  9. Hello I've decided to build another pack ( #2) , while I wait for my armour to arrive. This is pretty much the only decent pic I've found so far. From the picture it looks like the bottom trays only have 3 ribs, does anyone know if this is the case?
  10. Got a bit more done today, added the straps and the mortar tube.
  11. Jeff it is one of these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FLAT-FEET-x-4-furniture-feet-glides-supports-legs-made-in-uk-/220945276926?pt=UK_DIY_Material_Nails_Fixing_MJ&hash=item33715d5ffe
  12. Will do Brad, just need to pick up some more plastic first.
  13. Thought i'd put up some pics of my build so far. Still haven't sorted the mortar tube or lab pipe and still haven't attached the straps. So before I go ahead and start gluing and permanently fixing it together is there any changes I need to make?
  14. No problem Taz 1, For the scopes, the front one is the cheapest one I could find on Ebay, like this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x20-rifle-scope-/231293294532?pt=UK_SportingGoods_Hunting_ShootingSports_ET&hash=item35da2797c4 The one on the back right is off a Hasbro Rebels blaster http://starwars.hasbro.com/en-us/product/star-wars-rebel-trooper-electronic-blaster:5D8C2ADA-5056-900B-10BE-66D928512EE5 and the one that has the hose attached is just different sizes of pvc pipe. 2, Right, to attach the pipe I used a holes saw to cut out some MDF discs that were the same size as the inside diameter of the pipe. These were then glued half way down inside the pipe. Then if you look at the back plate there is a large bolt in the centre of each side, this goes through the middle of the MDF disc and is held in place by a nut inside the open end on the small pipe. The ends of the bolts are then hidden by the 'winders' that are radiator bleed keys. 3, The measurements are pretty much all guess work really. For the rust I use this stuff, http://ak-interactive.com/ecomm/?acc=Catalog&sacc=view&IDCat=17&p=1&idp=58&idc=18#.U_g5CUtH38s Its really easy to use and and gives pretty good results. ............hope thats of some use to you David
  15. Sorry only just spotted this. Yes I used a set of 'letter puches', heated them up over the gas hob and pressed them into the plastic.
  16. Getting there slowly, MG 15 is now finished. Built up my lid and collected a couple more bits.
  17. Sorry Steve did't see your post before. The magazine drum is pretty much 2 pieces of drain pipe, with the back and from pieces made a sheet of 2mm ABS.
  18. Thanks Mr Harris, you did an amazing job as always. I just need to pull my finger out now and sort the rest of my kit so i can actually use it.
  19. ...................the next one I make is yours, not promising how soon that will be though.
