Hi everyone. I just started my sons TD and finished the bucket. I will hopefully start the build thread soon as soon as I have some more time to work on it. Here is a quick shot of us with is first bucket try on. He is only five years old and he could not be more happy.

Yes! Where did you get the pauldron. My girls armor is built. Just need to strap it up. I had planned on making her pauldron (she wants it pink 😜) but that one looks awesome! Also I build T-21's. I was planning on scaling it down and building a couple to sell. Where did you find that one?

I am making progress on the micro TD. My computer is down so i will load all of my build pics at once when it is fixed. Here is the progress with lots of little TD parts but joined with cover strips glued and ready to strap up! post-5305-0-69715800-1392522638_thumb.jp

Sorry fellas on the late response on the little pauldron and T-21. I bought them from Quartermaster on whitearmor. He had them from his son and I am not sure who made the little T-21 but it is pretty awesome. The pauldron is one of Panda Troopers and I purchased a mini move along from Dirty Boy that is just amazing. I have contacted Pandatrooper about matching spanish pouches in miniature. I will post a bunch of photos very soon on all the progress on it. This is the third set of armor I have built and I made it to police officer standards. I know he is only five but what the heck. If I am doing it, do it up! Here is a quick photo of me sizing little man up for the thighs.

Well, here goes! I have been working on my little guys TD armor that I purchased from Walt. I have been taking photos along the way while I have been building and just now put them into photo bucket. I apologize I have so many at once. I have been trying to build this as accurate as I possibly can with what is available. I can't use traditional strapping as I want to build it so he can be in it for a few seasons. This is for all the dads and little dudes out there that want to be on the bad side!


Lots of little parts showed up at our house and I had a very excited little man.

Mini hand guards and the smallest back plate I have ever seen.
