    ****......GREAT WORK AGAIN BRO :blink: !!

    But i'm still in a doubt what to do with my radio :blink::( ?!!

    Please gimme all advise. Cause on the other hand it feels bad to paint over a masterpiece !

    I also really like the version it is now !! ****..the boobytrap of making a choice :angry: !

    If we only could get a clear close up of the radio from our TD's in ANH <_< !!

    Shoulder Straps

    Just so i´m sure...

    The white shoulder straps, we see between the back, and chest are:

    White elastic.

    And the belt, around the belly are:

    White canvas.

    Cheers :)

    I got canvas though ! Oh well, i guess i have to rip some elastic out of my underwear :lol: !!

    Not to interrupt this section 3778 ( sorry if so ) but do you guys have any details/info what kind of elastic ?!

    Cause like 3778 already said before....(Sandtrooper chest and back are attached from within via soft straps, and do not have the plastic ribbed straps like stormtroopers) !

    But most TD's do have the canvas as straps !!

    The green ones are on sale now at IMA...

    http://www.ima-usa.com/product_info.php/products_id/325

    This weekend only by all accounts...

    Correct m8..but please note that these are other versions as the one i have !

    But you can stiff them up and dey them black though !

    Though my version is also not maybe the correct one ?! When you look at the ammo pouche of the Move Along trooper you can clearly see that his little poche

    is hanging almost to the end of the right !

    I would be very interested to see if you can find the same one. That one actually looks pretty good!

    Okidoki m8. I will go to the dumpstore tomorrow...if they have not...

    it's no problem for me to send you this one for using as example or something :) !

    I will make some more pics within a few hours...i'm first off to the swimmingpool B) !

    Btw the one i showed back here looks thicker as it's filled up to look like there are ammo magazines in it !!

    T-RAY, been looking at the reference of the radio boxes from the movie and I feel fairly confident the entire radio is a single color... black. However, depending on the way the light falls, the back and the face do sometimes look different. I am not sure if this is because the material is different (I don't know if the leather wrap is still on the radio or not) that the light is being reflected differently, or if it is a matter of it simply being how the light is falling on the different planes... Either way, it still looks to me like the whole radio is black. While I wouldn't consider it definitive, even John Mollo mentions that they sprayed the whole pack black (which we know isn't entirely true due to the blue parts, but you get my point.) Might be interesting to paint the back a different shade of black than the face, but overall, these pieces were made very very quickly and very last minute so I think it is all just plain black. Just my thoughts.

    Thanks alot m8. Indeed it's a difficult thing about the radio ! When looking at some pics you would almost say the faceplate have a grey tone. But that can also be the sunlight :unsure: ?! I'm almost sure about one thing and that's the radio's in ANH have no letters on the faceplate ! Do you advise me to spray the whole radio black ?!

    Indeed the ammo pouche was also a big puzzle to me..but when looking more and more to the picture you can clearly see the sun lighting up a green colour and it's canvas for sure !! Do you think that it's the german green WWII canvas ammo pouche ?!

    Many thanks for your research and info !

    That's indeed one of the pictures i was talking about iconoclasta...thanks m8 :) ! It can be the sunshine also :unsure: !?

    I'm not saying it's indeed grey..it looks grey to me...so it's more a wanna know question :mellow: !!

    As the same for the move along ammo pouche. To me it looks like the green canvas WW II ammo pouche.

    The sunlight turns up a green colour as far i can see !?

    Latex handguards

    Just a quick message to keep you up-to-date guys.

    The first set has been shipped, the next few will be ready next week, so firebladejedi and probably one or two more should get ready to pay next week.

    I'm still working on this, don't think I forgot about it, it's just that it takes TIME, one set still needs a week to cure, so you can easily see it'll take me a few more weeks to get all orders ready. But I will get everyone a set who wants one, you just have to take your place in the queue and be patient ;)

    Cheers!

    Sounds good to me m8 !! Can't wait to get my hands on these wonderfull handguards B) !!

    Take your time...are they ready yet :lol::D ?! PP is standing by m8 !!

    Brak's and I were chatting over AIM this morning and agree that the radios were most likely all painted over black. It would be a shame to essentially ruin the radio I sent you. :(

    I'm going to take this into consideration with all future radios, and probably provide the decals not applied.

    Does this mean the version we now have need a update or so Mike :mellow: ?! Sorry but my understanding in english is not always that good though :unsure: !
