Hi Guys...
Today i finished my E-11 Beauty. It is a full aluminium replica with movable parts and i also can deassemble it. I
- just had to fit the t-tracks in there
- got a WW II Scope and had to do model and fill and prime it a bit
- i shot a real eagle counter in the bay i mounted today
- did some weathering...so that´s it!
It is an amazing blaster. Full aluminium and functional folding stock, removable magazine..etc. More pics follow.
Cheers, Mike

try this :
You don´t need to buy one. Just follow the turorial. I guess 2 pieces of ABS/HIPS/PVC or whatever and some glue is all you need!

Hey guys.. just wanted to let you know, i didn´t give up. Just took my time and i am working on my Backpack-Upgrade right now. Some parts will be replaced by aluminum, the radio will be a new one and it will get a total update. I also got a beautiful full aluminium-blaster, a real scope and a hengstler counter. Pics follow. I think i have 3, 4 weeks to go. Cheers, Mike

Thanks, guys! I am working on my backpack right now. And i hope to get a Trooper 1-pauldron and a woodman Faceplate soon! My problem at the moment is the money. AARGH! But i will fix these things... The goal is right in front of me..and i won´t give up.
I also decided to replace the whole plastic frame with a metallic one and the big tube on the right is going to be an aluminium one too.
Cheers and stay tuned!

OK... i will do that!. It will just take some time..It´s not done in a few hours, like the other adjusments. Thanks for your help! So i have to study especially this pack a bit more. We´ll see the progress..

Hey Guys, Saludos, Juan!
Thanks for all your critics. Honestly i am a little bit surprised and also disappointed, how much i obviously did wrong with my backpack. It was my first costume at that time and so i obviously din´t spent enough time for research and reference-pics. So i got a lot of homework to do.
It comes to the point, where I have to ask myself, if it´s worth to configure all these points on my pack (the material won´t get better), or should i start a new one without "mistakes" from zero and get the better and accurate faceplate.? I´ll have to sleep a night or two over it and let you know, what i am going to do. Unfortunately i can´t afford all these things right now, cause I am still in education till october. What´s for sure is a Trooper1 Pauldron (soon) and a Blastech-Full Aluminium E-11 Blaster with moveable parts (when they´re ready in about 2 months)... but man.. that´s S.W.A.T.
Best Regards,
Mike

yes man.. i hope to get a trooper-1 Pauldron soon! And when we´re all at the cantina bar, i´ll get you some tatooine-beer! Cause I was the one, who was overrun by the old Jedi and let the droids pass through ..

or is it necessary to remove the leather things to get 2 cm into the first "puffy" pauldron-area?
-
Hey Rolf...i know that. I added the snaps as you can see. I am looking for a Trooper 1 Pauldron, hope mine is ok so far? I didn´t want to remove the whole leather-section, so i just put in the 4 snaps, to get the optical effects. Anybody found something else?
:jawa: -
ok..i just added the snaps on the pauldron:
and here:
one step closer to the holy S.W.A.T ?
Cheers, Mike
-
ok..there we go:
the Pouches were trimmed and the toolbox´s place moved to the right:
and again:
you asked for my lenses and frown: Btw: my frown never has seen any mesh
and never will!! he he..
my shins.. Assembled original after the AHN with the small gaps:
and at least my thighs: also assembled in the AHN-style:
Pauldron follows asap! I´ll have to add the additional snaps first!
Cheers, Mike
-
i´ll get some coffee and then i´ll go right downstairs to fix these things and to show you, I am SWAT-worthy
Thanks guys!

Name: Mike Mautz
Legion ID: TD-7930
Forum Name: Miksi
Garrison: German Garrison
Trooper Emulated: Captain Road-Block-Version
Me on the left showing the weathering which is going after Mr. "move along"
Member must currently be deployed as an MEPD Police Officer to be considered. - yes
Weathering must be appropriate to screen used armor. Too little or too much weathering will not be allowed. - yes
Pack, pauldron, and weapon combinations must match a specific trooper a seen on screen. - yes
next pic shoing my puffy pauldron with the round detail:
next is my backpack which is based on a crashmann-kit. Syphon by Gordon, Large Dial by Vodoo and some ohter details are selfmade:
here all of my gear togehter:
Latex-Rubber Gloves with Latex-Handguards:
my rivets on the left:
snap on the right:
the beeeeeep-snaps:
the front-snap:
my TK-boots:
my E-11 Blaster with real weapon parts:
canvas MP40-pouch on the left shoulder:
my MP40-leather Pouches on the hips. One is original
If i get another one, they will be replaced!
the Abdomen with the charakteristik weathering-spot:
a side by side comparison from the original to mine:
helmet comparison:
my real tubecrack:
and to see it complete..here in action: the second from the left:
show me your identification!
and here: the first from the left:
yes...it´s me
I hope, i dind´t forget anything important..? We´ll see :-)
For those, who are interested in the gear:
It´s a 3mm HIPS Movie FX Armour (from Germany), a 1.5mm PT-Helmet, painted extra to fit to the armour. Mic-Tips by VAJ from Germany, Sandtrooper-Tubestripes from TK-4510. Boots are TK-Boots, Handguards are from Sonnenschein. Backpack is by Crashmann, syphon by Gordon , Large Radio Dial by Vodoo. My Blaster is a full resin-blaster with real aluminium and weapon parts (full aluminium blaster comming soon
). The armour is weathered with black and dark brown water-based (airbrush)acrylics, rough cleaning-sponges, towels and shoe polish!As you can see, i spent hours and days to go right afer the "move along" trooper. Some might call me crazy, but YES..i cut a real crack in the right tube, to get the original look. It is glued with fiberglass from the inside to get the crack fixed. It´s a very massive armour (some like it, some don´t) It weighs (all in all) about 15 Kilos = 30 pounds. After 2 Days of troopin´in it, you really know, what you did the last days
Please don´t wonder about my handguards on the trooping-pics. I got my hardplastic-guards with me as backup and used it the second day, cause the latexguards had to be glued again.
So let´s see, what happens
Cheers, Mike

CONGRATS VAL!!!
Welcome to the Sandpit with the BEST!
Only the hard ones don´t feel their necks in the evening anymore. This was really one of the fastest deployments i ever saw. But you did everything right. Let´s rock some Events! Cheers and congrats,
Mike

It was absolutely great man! So many TDs.. very impressive, when a group of us went on Patrol! Great feeling! And they let me be the "chief".. cause i got only the E-11.. Even I was the smallest Trooper
My Mate Val luckily got his Backpack ready (one day before) and so we really had 2 good but **** HOT times in Legoland. One of the italians collapsed in his Tiefigher-costume. I hope his is fine again To give you impressions..here we go:

you forgot the pic of the green lenses
-
hey man..this is a real ugly one!!!. You´ll never get deployed with trash like this! Who is the noob who took the pictures?
..ok..just kidding, Val... great Job! I don´t see anything, what will keep you away from deployment. It was a pleasure to troop with you!
Mike

Thanks for all your positive critics!
It´s fine to see the work was not for the trash-can!
I spent days an hours in front of hi-res Pictures of Anthony Forrest.. I´ll make some pictures to compare..
Just want to get my old Armour-deployment replaced with the new one!
Greets, Mike

try to work with acrylic-bases colors as already said. Try one piece (forearm) and choose 2 colurs. Start with one of them, wipe away 90% again. Then do the same with the next colour again. And don´t overdo it. As the others already said: Even if you don´t like the result, nothing is broken, you can (usually) clean and wipe it away ageain.

But it becomes...most impressive!
