TazVader Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 G'day folks, Christian here...Long time 501st stalker. I joined the TAG forum in 2005. Although I own a CRL cool ROTJ Vader, I haven't actually gotten it approved lol. My procrastination is a little bit of a legend amongst members that know me. So to end that... my first approvable trooping outfit will be a Sandy:) Got some awesome blokes from the local Thylacine group helping me out. Trimming and sanding my armour is taking place at the moment. I have EVERYTHING except my backpack on the way or already here. Soooooooo, if anyone can contact me about selling a "Captain's pack," kit or built...please feel free. I have contacted a few via pm but no replies as yet. Thought I had better introduce myself...maybe that will help lol Anyways, look forward to meeting some of you guys online or in person. The threads in this forum have already rocked my brain.... Here's a pic of outta the box:) Just to prove I'm moving lol Regards T A Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TazVader Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hey there guys! Thanks for the nice welcome. @ VF I am on TAG with the same handle but frequent there rarely as yet. Soon as I'm up and moving I'll be on there quite a bit. For now I am getting to know my way around here and trying to fill my head with as much Sandy understanding as possible lol Regards Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper1 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Welcome, can't wait to see your progress indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TazVader Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Well here a little progress update on what I've just ordered: Trooper bay: Green lens material (I don't like the acetate) Canvas shoulder straps Canvas belt Orange pauldron White latex handguards X2 packets snaps 1tube E6000 TK Boots: Size 12 trooping boots Boo: X2 black leather MP40 pouches for my belt Quartermaster: Fully built modular "Captains backpack," with a few special requests. TD4749: Aurebesh radio decals (I just like 'em) Misc: X2 sets of ninja type gloves X3 packets of 10 nickel snaps 5m of black 40mm webbing Canvas MP40 pouch set from Ebay Needing still: Obviously to finish my armour but the local guys, mainly (KOSH) are helping me there. Build my Barking Dragon E-11 kit and Make a BFG. I have garnered some great Lewis gun plans so that's a start. Finally, figure out how to create a couple of fake fingers to stuff my glove with (missing a couple on my left hand). Oh yes...get submission pics happening.

Vf2112 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Awesome package bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TazVader Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 :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.

TazVader Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vf2112 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 You'll find pics of these in almost every PO or SWAT request thread brother Size is pretty irrelevant although you CAN be to big/small just try to match the pics and you'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TazVader Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 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 AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TazVader Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TazVader Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
