TD-1549

Hiya Simon , How's tricks mate ?

yuck. thats all i can say is yuck. After getting one myself (as my first 501st attempt and trying to modify it) that costume is just disgusting. yuck. Completely agree , but it's a cheap fix !

Cheers Chef , It was a little Dorset troopers event that my wife sorted out,we had a really nice day. Don't worry about the strap , it's been snipped away already Dark Knight (guz) is in the TK , I'll pass on your regards to him. Andy.

Cheers, yep it certainly is a rubies

Here's the first pics of my new armor , decided to wear it at a little event today in aid of the breast cancer charity. What do you think ? obviously there's no backpack on at the moment , couldn't wear it in the shop I would of knocked everything off the shelves. And please ignore the strap that's popped out on my right upper leg ! Andy.

Wow ! sweet looking armour , love the weathering

I'd have a pair too

Guys , you have inspired me to did out my old vinyl collection. Currently playing Rush 2112 , lets rock !!

Wow ! it's like a soap opera , I'm gonna grab myself a beer and keep reading

Thanks for all the replys and words of wisdom. If I was to look for a TE2 or TM lid , where would I start and how much could I expect to pay. Cheers, Andy

Cheers guys , I'm looking into a RT-Mod at the moment. Want to go as accurate as funds will allow. The RT does look like a good bucket. Seth, are the TM and TE2 helmets not abs ? Andy.

Ok , I have a problem.... Firstly I have all my armor ready to go and modded , it's only FX armour but I like it and it's been with me a long time, I have done the ab plate , pouches , knee plate , canvas belt , got rid of the ribbed straps , hand plate is sorted ,drop boxes have been removed,no holster, backpack is built , armour is all weathered and just got hold of one of the Freaks excellent MG34's. My only concern now is the helmet. I weathered it at the same time as the rest of the suit , it's got 4 teeth drilled out , flat green lenses and correct decals fitted. But..... I'm not entirley happy with it , because it's an FX lid it is oversized , I'm only 5'10" and I think it looks kind of bobble headed ! I do have a GF helmet on the shelf but it's a hero helmet and would need to have work done to it to bring it upto spec , plus I don't fancy changeing it as I've grown quite attached to it. So I suppose I should start looking for a new helmet , I have been trawling through ebay for a few weeks but all there seems to be are fibreglass and FX lids. I would prefer an ABS helmet but not another FX one. So my question is..... What would be the best type of helmet to keep my eyes out for ? Cheers, Andy.

Hi , I'm new here but I've been reading up for a while. Really glad to be accepted onto the boards and looking forward to many happy hour of posting ! Had my Sandtrooper armour for 8 years now , it's still my favourite costume to wear while trooping. Will be posting pics shortly for deployment . Andy.
