TK-J

Finished bucket prior to weathering... Post weathering... After adding a set of clone Macro-nocs... I know it's not strictly TD, but I thought since it is weathered and will be worn with my TD armor, what better place to show it off

Some detail parts added. Made mainly from 2mm HIPS. After sanding back to nice smooth edges, I coated it in spray-on sandable primer putty, to fill in any pin holes and scratches... After the second coat of white primer...

Didn't know where else to put this so here it is. A few days ago I spotted this kit on Feebay... I had an old fibregalss TK lid floating around so I thought I'd have ago at doing one myself. Started off filling all the unwanted holes with auto body filler... Then I used a spare resin clone elbow strap as the fin...

That's some **** fine weatherin' GZ. I particularly like the grey bits.....sets off to find grey weathering kit.....

Good looking kit there Guz. Love them Jawas. I'd like to put my girls in Jawa outfits but they're not keen

Great find there. It's things like this that give me the shits about our country's pathetic gun laws.

Those dimensions look pretty spot on. It's funny y'know. I was using that pic as a guide whilst building my V3 pack, in the loungeroom, about 6 weeks ago when "Obsession" was aired. If I hadn't been working on that pack there's no way I would have recognised the radio.

Expensive?????? Christmas?????? Who me?????? I thought I might finally get some kip after finding it. Noooooo. Glad to finally put something back into this hobby, and not just make up the numbers. As for scale, we should be able to use the cistern or tupperware lid as a frame of reference, providing we can get good screen grabs giving plenty of definition.

Forget Panasonic, I think I have it... Sonix Victory 75 PIC Maybe the high res pic is enough

Leanig towards a Panasonic myself... GX-400 NO CHECK OUT NEXT POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o :o

I had no idea this was such a big issue, or I would have mentioned it earlier Anyway, I found a prop list fom the original Avengers from the late '60s, but nothing on the New Avengers. Maybe someone in the UKG could contact the BBC prop dept. and ask if it would be listed in their archives. Found this as well.

Series 2, episode 6. HERE.. Going to have to try and buy the DVD now.

I just had a look on youtube, but the 6 minute clip starts about 2 minutes after the actual scene. I saw the show about 4 weeks ago on TV and nearly crapped myself when I saw it

These are certainly real radios. I saw one on the 1977 British TV series "The New Avengers", season 2 episode "Obsession". The bad guy was listening to it as he was about to launch a missile into the heart of London to kill a foriegn diplomat.

I have the gamaschen sorted Doug....

I don't suppose someone in the US might help me aquire some of these knee cap pads. They don't seem to be a common item here in Oz

A couple of us here in TAG are looking to set our TD up in a similar way, just for fun and cons. To me it seems a fairly reasonable interpretation of battle hardened/seasoned a trooper.

Sorry if this has been brought up before, but my search found nothing. Can anyone tell me what the trooper in the trailer has on his left shoulder bell? Watch trailer here if you've not seen it. Cheers J

Seems to me the last time I saw you, you were standing in the same place, smoking, wearing that rediculous armour . Only now you're clean shaven. Looks like it would have been a lot of fun. BTW Amanda says it suits you

Hey Scooter, check out Deals Direct. They have a full size mannequin for $169AUD delivered. I got one of these a few weeks ago, good quality fibreglass. Prices vary depending on the discount available at the time.

Yeah he is. 8241.

PM inbound Scooter. Thanks again for all the feedback guys. All praise should go to Mike and his great idiot proof, easy to follow weathering tutorial.

Sorry Dan, haven't checked in for a few days. PM inbound.

Google up Horseworld or Horseland Dan. There are shops everywhere and I'd say Melbourne will have it's fair share. They often have discounted riding boots. If you can't find one locally, lmk and I'll track down a pair from my local shop.

Was a great couple of days for sure. The cantina was fantastic. A couple more pics.. The cavalry has arrived.. Not one of the droids I was looking for.. Send in the clones...
