Found this one:
Looks way too small. Could be a good source for parts for a home made set of macro binocs, though.

PP sent for one t-shirt, medium. Thanks for doing this run!
-
Sorry if you replied to this already, but I couldn´t find our answer anywhere in the thread...So, is this run MEDP troopers only, or open to not-yet-MEPD-deployed-but-working-really-hard-on-it-TDs as well?Will this be MEPD deployed only, or all 501st?
-
Yeah, had to call the customs office like three times before I finally got someone to take care of it. However, I would like to point out that this wasn´t caused by anything you guys did, paperwork and everything was in perfect order. This was just...One of those things, I think. Freak accident. First time I´ve ever had any problems with getting anything through customs in a timely fashion, so it´s nothing to worry about. I´m just happy they turned out to be so well worth the wait!Yikes! Thats insane that they were held up so long!?!?!
-
Yay!
After being delayed in Norwegian customs since December 15th, for absolutely no good reason, I picked up my pauldrons at the post office today, finally. And they look perfect! Thank you, Scootch and Dark Lord for making these available. Really looking forward to taking them for a spin at the next troop!

Thanks for posting up these pics, Rolf! I´m gonna start building my first pack this weekend, so I´m saving these for future reference. Think I´ll be using strips as well, should make it easier to break it down for transportation and storage.
One question: How do join the two halves for the main boxes? Do you just glue them together along the edges?
-
Lucky you, mine have been held up in customs for about a week...Rrgh!recieved my pauldrons today.
Thanks!!
-
PP sent for 5. Thanks!
-
I was expecting it to be good, but that right there exceeds my expectations by a considerable margin. Simply amazing!
One question: Any chance the drum mags and/or scopes will be made removable, to make for easier transportation?

Brian pops up on page 84 (as "brianian"), and starts his lecture in the last post on page 87. Great read, thanks for the tip!Here's a link to the RPF thread. Depending on your preferences the new info starts on about page 80 I think. For me it's page 20.
To get back on topic again: I´m amazed at the level of detail you guys are able to pick up from the screen shots! Indeed the flaps on the pouches do look more rounded than on the Stollas. It seems kinda strange to me that the LFL prop department would bother with trimming the ends of the flaps; Perhaps a vintage Stolla was already a rare find back then...Seems more sensible to me that they would choose to make them themselves. Either that, or the pouches are of a make not yet identified. Either way, I can´t wait to see the end result! I´d definitely be in for one!
-
Hooray! That´s my favorite TD gun, along with the T-21...Can´t wait to see the final result!

The Norwegian MP38/40 pouches really aren´t that hard to find, and if you´re lucky, you can get them at about $30 - $40 USD a pair (one with 3 pouches, one with the extra tool pouch). You can also find fairly decent repro canvas Schmeisser pouches at around the same price on the ´Bay, and quite regularly.
A set of Stolla Wien, however, are much harder to come by, and if you can find a vintage set, they are really expensive. Those, along with the small squarish pouches that the squad leader with the T-21 (and others) is wearing, seems to be the hardest ones to find. But I guess the Stolla Wien are more iconic, and therefor would be more popular. That´s why I´ll cast my vote for these.
A third alternative could be a leather version of the Schmeisser pouches...Did the experts really ever decide whether or not these were actually made from canvas?
-
Oooo they look beauuutyful! Can´t wait to troop´em!
-
PP sent for $216 USD. Thanks for giving us slow pokes another shot at getting in on this!
-
Having missed out on the excellent pauldrons Rolf made, I sure don´t wanna miss out on this run. One orange and one black for me, please!
-
Email sent!

I´m one step away from ordering a pair of these...Only thing I wanna ask is, what size are the gloves?
...Aw, what the heck, I have to order a pair anyways! Too good an offer to pass up. Paypal, I reckon?
-
Holy cow. I just got my back pack parts.
Two assorted kits, no less. Everything I paid for, in all their vacuformed, black HIPS glory, and even a pack of MEPD stickers to boot.
Thank you, Seth. Keep it up. I hope to see more posts like this in the weeks to come - and you back on these boards some day!
-
...I´ll take that as a no.
-
They don´t make them anymore, but a few of them are still up for sale. The price is pretty steep, though - $3650.00 USD:
:( sorry guys,just got bad news from Sand_storm,ASAHI airsoft guns were no longer in produce,i think im not that careful posting something :(http://www.wwiiguns.com/shop/products.php?p=2663df
I don´t know what the going rates are for a demilled MG34 nowadays, but a quick Google search resulted in a couple of auctions where the price seemed to be around $3000 USD, depending on it´s condition.
-
Are there any new developments with regards to the SB kits? I´m still waiting patiently for the two I ordered.
I´m not out for blood or anything, just wanted to know if anyone had heard, or better yet, gotten anything from SB the last couple of weeks...?
-
Thank you so much Jay, PM replied to!PM sent, its yours
Rolf, I´d love a close up of the stock, showing how you fastened the swivel. I think I understand now how you did it, but still, a picture is worth a thousand words and all that...
...Hahaha! A real nut indeed!Paint it black metal gun like, and silver weathering it (just to be a real nut).
-
Hey,
I take it maybe you dont have access to Regular gun swivels? If you find you need one that just screws the mount in and then has a detachable swivel, let me know. I have an extra.
Jay
Don´t know how I managed to miss your last post, but anyway...The real problem is, I got a Hyperfirm Lewis Gun, and I don´t really know how to fasten the swivel to the stock without damaging anything. I don´t know if the rubber is sturdy enough to hold a screw, or if it would just sort of work it´s way out, taking a good chunk of the Hyperfirm stuff with it.
Still, I actually haven´t managed to find a swivel big enough for the Enfield sling, so if you still have one for sale, I´d love to buy it!

Got my shirt yesterday, and it looks brilliant! Thank you so much for doing this run. Now all that´s left is to earn my Deployed status, so I can wear it with pride...Thanks again!
