  1. We'll work on getting the close ups. The lenses are reflective, got them from a member here. JEff and "Bountyone" troop together, so we wanted them to match. The knee plate issue I think might be the angle, I was standing on a stool when I took it. We fudge a little on some pieces because of his height.

  2. I took the pictures for him. We'll work on getting more and larger. He's got it all covered. flat green lenses, correct # of ab buttons, knee plate, fabric belt, field pack, tk4510 sandtrooper helmet stickers, hyperfirm E-11, leather boots and pauldron from trooper supplies, soft cloth straps on shoulders.

  3. Yeah, you're skinny, but any armor should fit you. You got the height correct. FX would look really big. Build the suit to the proper size and pad the inside of it. In my opinion, if you built it to your skinny frame, the armor is gonna look funny. I don't see any problem at all. Better too skinny than too fat. At least you get to do the accurate side rivets without adding shims.

  4. Here's a picture of the suit to date. Jeff is at least 6-2" and I think we got a good look. He just won his pack frame the other day, so we'll start that soon. The flash washed out some of the weathering.

  5. My buddy bought one.

    Got it quick enough. Thin in some places, but I renforced it with brushed on 2-part epoxy. Not for the 1st time builder. Doesnt go together as easy as an AP for sure. No directions, stickers, lenses, trim, Need a good working knowledge of the TD suit before building this one, but they turn out pretty good.

  6. I won't be going this year. I went in 08' and 09'but it's just too expensive to stay really close to the convention ceneter. I mean short walking distance. I sold that TD suit shortly after last year, but I'm building another for Jeff right now. I'm too big to wear one, and I'm a firm believer in wearing something that fits your body shape. Hope you all have fun. I will admit, seeing a stack of TD's walking through the crowd was cool.

  7. His Bee-Stinger is Hyper-Firm, as are a few other parts. In fact, that may be one of Lewis' packs.

    They were made before the faucet cover was found and the only decent reference was the Marmit trooper.

    Good eye Nate. That is Lewis' pack. I sold my suit to Krenn in October. This is the suit my buddy Jeff was wearing at SDCC this past year in the TD pic with Anthony Forest.

    The shoulder pouch is attached to the fieldpack, that black velcro kept it in the proper place, so it didn't flop around everywhere. The shoulder bells do have the arm elastic built into them. Thradio velcros to pack so the TD loop can run inside the radio.
