Christian Murfet Requesting Sandtrooper access TD-73103 http://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=18278 Cheers T A Z

Hey there fellow Aussie:) Going for approval of my TD too. Well done on the build buddy:) T A Z

Nobody have a source? Like a counter graveyard somewhere? lol Regards T A Z

What's sort of raincover is it? Do they have any on eBay? Cheers T A Z

Small update. Sorry no pics lol. My leather belt pouches arrived from 'Boo,' awesome! My last box arrived from trooperbay. So...on the tally of what's to arrive: 1 resin MG-34 (in post) QM backpack (building 4-5wks) That's it. Although my armour build is slowing down. I'm giving myself the rest of the year to get a bit trimmer. Regards T A Z

Wow!!!!!! Amazing weapon given a huge boost! Does the magician of the brush offer any painting tutorials anywhere? Regards T A Z

We r talking about shoulder elastic here aren't we? Thanks for the reply btw;) Regards T A Z

Wow! Mad skills! T A Z

How wide should the elastic be? Could someone post a top down pic of their elastic straps? I've yet to see a decent pic lol it could be just that my deftness with the search function sucks lol Appreciated T A Z

OK. I arrived home from school this evening to find a few packages. So I got my pauldron and some odds and sods from TB. I'll post a pic when I have had some sleep lol For the moment I am waiting on another box from trooper bay and some other bits and pieces....Sigh...getting there. OH!!!!! On other good news I managed to snag a cast of an MG-34. So I pay for that Monday and should have it shortly there after. Its a kit but apparently they are moulded off the real deal:) All smiles here. Regards T A Z

David thanks very much for the reply. I'll certainly be trying out a few of those tricks and tactics:) Again very nice build. It's a pleasure to read about it:) Regards T A Z

Wow...that was a clever idea. I have some questions too;) If you have a spare minute anyways bor? 1. What scopes did you use? Were they airsoft? 2. For the smaller diameter drainpipe in the centre of each mag drum how did you attach it to the middle of the abs back plates? 3. Did you use a specific template for anything or just eyeball it? finally what did u use for your rust effect? It looks awesome!!!!!!! Regards T A Z

Pm inbound matey and thanks:) Regards T A Z

Loving your build mate. The strap setup looks especially comfy! Well done Regards T A Z

Well the base of operations is KOSH's shed lol I got another arrival today. My canvas pouch for my shoulder ...More grey than green but there is a tinge lol I know Christian very well....mostly because he is ME! lol Regards T A Z

Yeah. It's a bit like that huh? Tk boots arrived. Yay! Also are the aerators accurate? Or is there a better supplier?? Helmet is on the go at the moment;)

G'day, My name is Christian. I live in Tasmania, Australia. Long time 501st fan. I have a completed Rotj Vader but have never bothered getting it approved due to work and life and lazy and zzzzzz. Lol so I've also had a set of AP armour sitting in a box for about 7 years. It is finally coming out with the help of the local guys. So I'm aiming to have a Sandy as my first approvable Really enjoying the close knit group here and the 'can do' attitude. Let's hope I catch it lol Kind regards Christian.

Oh...lol I must have missed the diagram. Doah. Thanks mate. It's a lot to take in. Plus I should probably have a bit more of a crack with the search function;) Cheers T A Z

Congrats to u mate:)

Thanks fellas:) I was wondering if there was a diagram showing all the rivet/split pin and snap placement on the exterior of the armour to be accurate? I mean top tier accurate? Something with their sizes too. That would be really helpful. I thought there might be something kicking around or is there just too much variation to qualify it with one diagram? Just in case , so I can knock off a lot of future problems if I DO try out eventually for SWAT...maybe lol Regards T A Z

Thanks for the info mate. T A Z

Wow!!!!! You look awesome mate! Well done. Here's hoping you get SWAT real soon:) Regards T A Z

:woot:I'll say. Great advice here so I cant take any credit for the choices... I was just studious lol Hope I can do it justice lol BTW Anyone Aussies know where Niko is? I sent him a few comms about getting an MG34 kit and as yet no response. Regards T A Z
