PP for my 2 sent thanks Dave.
-
2 for me as well please
-
Just looking at http://www.starwarshelmets.com/ it would seem that the "Move Along" trooper are completely black, whilst the "Stop that Ship" trooper's hovis where white on the inside.
-
this is a MP44 pouch, which looks almost like a MP40 pouch but is slightly smaller and is more square.
The pouch on the left is a StG44 pouch. It is curved and has the tool pouch in the correct postion. Mp40 pouches had the tool pouch on the lower half, and only on the left pouch.
'Tis true tho, Mp40 pouches were smaller.
Another site with canvas '44 and '40 pouches

Those definately look like StG44 mag pouches. A few of the sites I used to buy my WW2 German gear from:
www.atthefront.com
http://bunkermilitaria.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc
www.militarytour.com
http://www.surcompany.com/listing11-leathe...vas/canvas.html
There are many more. The surcompany site has them relatively cheap and is pretty good to deal with.

I've been throwing this together for the last few weekends...
My first costume that I'm not totally encased in white plastic
Also have this on the way to play with
and an unfinished HDPE TE helmet coming as well.

Great looking radios Mike! Count me in when the run starts
-
I was under the impression FX had dropped the idea of redoing their lid because the MR bucket now so cheap and accesible
-
I suppose you could add whatever you want. I've never really been one for adding bits'n'pieces. I like plainTK-J would you add model kit parts for making detailed grebblies? That would be awesome!

It's very easy. Cut the scrap ABS up with tin snips as small as possible - bigger pieces just take longer to disslove. Drop them into a sealable container - I use an old metal acetone tin (don't use plastic
, or glass - for some reason it doesn't keep as well). Cover with just enough acetone, and let it sit for a few days. Keep an eye on it and top up with acetone if it gets too thick. You can use it at just about any consistency, but works best for glueing armour when it is runny but is a solid colour. If it's needed for filling holes or cracks, let it get a little thicker. Keep adding ABS and acetone as you need it. -
For ABS kits I have always used the old ABS shavings in acetone trick. Make it up a week before hand and let it sit. It does work on HIPs but needs to be thicker. Need to work quick as it dries very quickly. Advantage is it is whatever colour your kit is

Pappy, you seek Doopy's.

As I said on TAG Ricard, **** fine kit
Be good to gather all TAG's sandies for a photo shoot one day. -
Congrats Nathan, good looking kit!
-
I have mentioned it to Greg on our Garrison site (good having THE webmaster in our Garrison
), but thats as far as it's progressed. Only seems to be a problem since all the upgrades. -
I can't view anyones profile, and I know many others are having the same problem.
-
Perhaps trade the eagle in for a dewie.
And call me old fashioned but Beretta 92 with 30 round mag up the butt has always been my fav
-
I'll be in for one, either of the first 2 options. Not sure about the eagle purched atop tho...perhaps something a little more star warsy?
-
I like it!! Really brought the contrast out, and given it more depth. Nice to see some shiney poke thru too
-
Your weathering looks excellent Nathan! I'd say you should go back and pat with a barely damp rag or paper towel to try and bring back some contrast at the high points and in a few spots that might naturally rub clean. Just my 2 cents.
I agree, should tone it down just enough.
-
Sorry Ben, gonna have to back out of this run. Got some bills to pay
.J
-
Definately should be painted. The weathering will stick much better to the armour. The natural scratches also give it character.
-
One of each for me please - 2XL.
-
It's not the buckets...
Look at the size of those codpieces.
You don't think she's the reason the codpiece is sticking out that little bit?
