  2. If that event didnt fall the same day as an event in fall river mass i would have been there.
  3. Looking Great Dave!!! Glad to see another East Coast Sandy in the pit....Im planning on doing some troops with the ECG in the future. Welcome Rick Bates AKA: Dirty Boy
  4. Ya, I know....the Imperial Hummer def needs a gun mounted to the roof. I built one and then decided it needs to swivel for when we do events. Biggest obstacle Im running into is how to mount it and drive on the highway without getting shot at by the local law enforcement
  5. Thanks My Brothers!!! Very excited to be part of such an awesome group....I
  6. Congratulations Alejandro!!!! you deserve it brother!!!!
  7. What a great improvement brother...it looks so much better now that your pack has been upgraded and more proportioned to your armor......your look has been completed. you should be proud.

  9. Wow...thank you Mike....I would seriously feel like I was 8 years old again on Christmas morning. That was the year (1979) I got my first xwing and tie fighter and my journey to the darkside began.....No more to read here...Move along...lol
  10. Thanks Sands....I really appreciate that....you also did a great job with yours brother
  11. Buttons on Abdominal plate have been adjusted to comply with updated standards (3).
  12. Excellent job brother....You really did some great work on your armor, blaster and pack. Im sure you will be deployed soon.
  13. Thanks for the follow up Sir...no problem at all. I completely understand...as long as Im on the right path Im happy
  14. Thanks everyone....hopefully i will be deployed soon...I continue to do upgrades based on the suggestions given and information Ive come across in the forums/internet... I added a pic to my submission photos that shows my brow lift and upgraded shoulder and hip pouches. Custom done in leather to give a nice look. Feedback is always appreciated...have a great day brothers
  15. The pack is def salvageable...MRCE is the bucket I use and with the mods Ive done it can really look great...total cost 150 and about 6 hrs. you also may want to scotchbrite your flat areas on the armor....take you a few mins and will make the weathering more realistic unless you are going for more of a camo look. Dont give up....a few minor adjustments and a little bit of time you can get deployed.
  16. No kidding by the end of a 5 hour troop my shoulders are numb and ive got some meat on them....im actually thinking of sewing some shoulder pads to the inside of my under armour. maybe that will help a little bit
  17. Ya....i know what you mean....my fiance is always like..."what are you doing now....it looks awesome" and im like "no...there needs to be dirt right here and my brow needs to be raised"....its a never ending process....im completely addicted. So glad you guys understand and of course theres my 6 yr old son who loves to point out potential upgrades he sees in his video games, movies or action figures.
  18. hey brother, you may want to post a pic of the updated pack. lookin great though
  19. THANK YOU SO MUCH BROTHER!!! you have no idea how awesome that is to hear....I wish i had a better pic of the pack to show you....its completely scratch built without any vac formed parts aside from crashmanns radio faceplate. everything else was built from scratch using tons aof photo referrences and info on the various forums....much better in person. Here is a pic that shows alittle better view of the pauldron and the ANH style handplates. Did the brow raise yesterday to my ME CR bucket and really like the way it turned out. Anyway....have a great day man and thanks again!!! FOR THE EMPIRE!!!
