  1. I recently bought a pair just like that, mate. Here's a great reference site to mull through. http://www.looksirdroids.com/
  2. Alright gents, here's the first look after the black dye: I used Fiebing's leather dye on the whole thing. It comes with a dauber so it was a very quick operation. Just dip and spread and the canvas really took to it well. It was absorbent, but one dip into the dye would go a long way. I ended up using about three quarters of a bottle, but I'm very happy with the way it turned out.
  3. Check out what came in my P.O. box this morning: Bought them from International Military Antiques last week, and couldn't be happier with the product, their service, and quick shipping. Highly recommended. Unfortunately, I think I bought the last set of MP 40 pouches that they had. I do have a question about the little oil can pouch on the end. Is it supposed to be that far out, or should I take it off and move it further in? Also, can I use the second one for the pouch on the belt, or will I need a leather pouch for that? Here's another little thing I got today. Thanks again, Mike.
  4. I was actually just thinking today if the basics of clone weathering could be applied to the weathering of a TD. Suhweet stuff, man. Its awesome to finally see the magic happen.
  5. Hey Rolf, if you decide you don't want your CAboots, I know of a good home for them. Great thread, buddy! I know where I'm going to go for references when I get my TE2.
  6. Dude, you're looking sharp! Excellent!
  7. Can anyone tell me the circumference of the MG-34 barrel sans the T-track?
  8. Beautiful! What I wouldn't give for a man-cave like that.
  9. The thought of ordering from this guy has crossed my mind before. Thanks for the heads up!
  10. Funny about the kid, Rolf. Looks like that acetone worked nicely!
  11. Free ice cream rocks. lol, I also just noticed that the taller kid in this picture looks like he's about to get socked by the shorter one.
  12. Awesome pics, Rolf! Those hand painted stripes look great.
  13. Rolf, make sure you test the acetone on a scrap piece first to make sure it won't trash your armor. I'd hate for something terrible to happen to it.
  14. Looks awesome, Rolf! I'm glad the groove tube worked out alright.
  15. Sweet pics, Rolf! Looks like you guys had a blast.
  16. Those lines are so precise! Did you use regular model paints?
  17. I don't mean to be a stick in the mud, but there are a few explanations to the following: Being a professor of archeology, I would imagine that owning a huge, old Bible wouldn't be too far-fetched, and many older Bibles have illustrations. Nazi Monkey could have watched her get into the basket. After all, he wasn't with the human Nazis. It is a very convenient plot point, though, so I'll give you that. Lots of movies suffer from poor editing. Gladiator had a certain incident where a chariot gets turned over and you can clearly see the Co2 tanks that was used to blow it to one side. Good karma? Real mummies are a tad fragile. Said phantom bar was likely part of the truck's grill. There are points underneath a vehicle for Indy to grab hold of, as long as the part wasn't moving, and he wasn't drug behind for that long. This one's easy: Nazi crewman #143 forgot to lock the hatch! Indy just slipped into the sub and stowed away. Would be kinda cramped to stow away in, though. Power o' God, mate. According to the Bible, Moses had to wear a veil whilst God spoke through him to the Israelites to keep them from seeing the face of God, which would either blind them, or kill them. To be honest, I can't quite remember. Anyhow, I'd imagine that and the Raiders scene are related. My take on it is this: Despite however fake or impossible the original Indy trilogy was, they were still believable, and somehow still is to me, to this day. Indy 4, while a fun ride, wasn't.
  18. Dang. Guess the search continues. Thanks guys!
  19. Hey gang. Today at a local consignment shop, I saw a vintage tupperware container that had the lid with it, so I scooped it up. Problem is, I think its a bit too small. Its 3 1/2" across. What say you all? Any input is appreciated!
  20. Looking great, Rolf! Watching this thread really makes me itch for some armor.
  21. Looks awesome! Can't wait to see the finished product.
