  1. Thanks,

    To all for the kind words!

    I have spent the past year carefully reworking my former "shiny" TD

    Great weathering job on the helmet, good luck whit the body armor.

    Hope to see you all suit asap ;)

    Rolf,

    Thanks Brother seeing your TD was my inspiration !

    I plan to submit It for deployment when I finish my new backpack and my DLT-19!

  2. Thanks!!!

    "looks a lot like this weathering method...

    KLICK ME!"

    Thats It!

    The only thing I did different was to use tempra paints instead of acrylics.

    I found the tempra paints dry into a chalky-dirt like stain, and there much more forgiving!

    There easily removed with water even after several layers,

    yet stay put when dry with just a layer of hairspray.

  3. Go with Charlie's kit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks Again,

  4. If you pick the larger, you cut the extensions off the top down to the cross frame where the straps attach... On the piece at the bottom that bends round, you have to cut about 1 1/2" to 2" out of the middle, then use dowels to attach them together again as the bit that come out of the bottom sticks out too far...

    I have the smaller "himalayan pack" and the top is smaller than the bottom,

    also the "bend" is to far up on the sides?

  5. The disk shape or pitcher lid should not directly touch the TD or "morter tube"...

    Leave the neck piece, and mount it to the tube.

    Most use a long bolt that will pass through the center of the lid and the neck piece then into the tube.

    Attach a washer and nut on the inside of the tube and that should do it.
