Today was my first day all alone whit the suit.

I have ruff trim the Sandtrooper parts over the last week, and some of the Stormtrooper parts as well.

Only whit my scissors, i also got a new lexan scissor in from ebay.

It works like a dream on all the round shaped parts quick.

Here a pics from this morning taken:

Cool. Yup, mine was awesome with great company, great food and nice presents. Got myself a new pillow. Really medium soft too. Really nice progress. I haven't even gotten up off my *** to buy scissors to start trimming my helmet... I'm so slow.

I´m happy to hear, your christmas time was a good one as well bro.

The main thing is you got the kit, and remember its a hobby and not a job.

I´m sure your scissors will meet your kit, when the time is right.

Hugs from the capital here :thumbsup:

what the heck man....your not on your thrid one yet? lol///

Sorry bro, but i´m on the run here :woot:

Having a small child alone, plus working is a time killer :pinch:

Plus i dont have all the RS parts yet to complete the suit, but i will this month.

I hope to assemble the suit and helmet this month, and paint dirt next month...

and having it done around there as well.

December have been crazy...

buying presents, had to paint two paintings as well as a gift, hold christmas at my place for the family.

Plus i have been in two meetings/attacks made by my twisted ex wife, trying to keep on destroying my son.

So i have used much of my small free time to write pages, to be ready for those insane meetings keep on fighting for protecting my son.

Lucky i won both meetings, and he´s still safe here whit me.

She just made a fool out of her self, as all ways...

I hope she wakes up one day, and leave us in peace..

But honestly.. i doubt it.

I have my son to the 13 this month, then he´s off for the weekend.

But i hope to make a small progress this weekend coming :thumbsup:

  • 2 weeks later...

done yet? ;)

All most :teehee:

I will have more time to assemble the RS Sandtrooper from the first next month.

I hope to have it done before march.

But i still don´t have all RS parts to finish the suit.

Still need the strapping system/metal wires/screw etc, and a few armor parts as well.

The elastic are only the basic, so i will have to sew and add all the hooks my self.

I should have the rest of the parts real soon, and it will be the perfect timing for finish up the suit.

I will soon post more pics, and of my other projects.

I have a Doopy Doo DLT-19 to finish, plus TKboots pauldrons as well.

Maybe i will modify the neck, to top accurate look style.

So in small two weeks i will start up on armor, weapon, pauldrons.

November/december 2011 and february 2012 have been very stressful here... but...

Look sir the tracks belong in these direction :thumbsup:

I will soon have more time to be back in the hobby, i can´t wait to get it done my self.

I hope to post some more in about a week or so.

Me too.

I have really want to work more on the suit the last few month, but real life stuff have kept me away from the hobby like christmas time/too much work/court cases etc.

But i can´t wait to finish him up soon, and wear the monster asap as well :thumbsup:

I know what you mean Rolf....I feel like I haven't had a minute to myself in over 2 months. Have about a week or so to try and catch up on things....then valentines day hits and I'm back to a million hrs. After that though I'm free until NOvember :)

Hey Rolf...

How are you my dear friend?

I was wondering... if you could start a new thread sometime, with your comments and opinion about different armors and how was your experience putting them together.

For example what do you think about TM armor vs RS armor... plastic, shape, sharpness, etc.

That would be awesome.

Having that kind of input from an experienced builder as yourself, and who is also a TD armor expert, would be very interesting and also very useful for troopers to choose between armors.

For example, someone over the LSD wrote that the ultimate white armor would probably be a mix of RS helmet (and now better with the new HDPE), with TM armor. I don't know since I have never seen a real RS armor. But I am also guessing that a Gino bucket would be awesome with a TM or RS armor.

Anyway, there is lots of room for discussion there, but your inside pov would be awesome to have.

Saludos mi amigo for you and little Sylvester!

:)

That is a FANTASTIC idea, Juan!!!
