@ Kenthork: here we go: cut the strip on the left side Just a little more weathering and then it should be ok. I am still waiting for my 501st-clearance...c´mon, guys......... thanks for watching....

Hey! I am glad to get constructive critics! So thats really ok. Unfortunately i did not everything right at the beginning of my armour and so i have to fix the problems now. Things just like you said. I´ll try to get it a li´l shorter..and hope that it still looks good. It could happen, that i get trouble with the glue and the part of the weathering.. I´ll let you know, when it is done! P.S. new Photoshooting comming soon!! Cheers, Mike

Yeah! it´s a great feeling to see my son (6) playing with vintage Star Wars figures! And not with any (for me uninteresting) Power Rangers or what else-stuff... He was interested from the beginning, when i started with my TD. And as the time went by, he got more and more interested. And now he tells other people about Star Wars and the differences between Sandtroopers and Stormtroopers. Take a look at the Paper-Helmet he build for me in his Kindergarten.. don´t forget the helmet-padding!! Nico´s self-built paper helmet And he continued with a full paper armour for his Teddy: http://www.pictureupload.de/originals/63726/140710005257_sonstige_paper-armour-bear.jpg together we made this R2 (with Paper and some old packaging-boxes): R2 built from old packaging boxes and last but not least a Picture of me and the litte one I am so proud of!: me and my son with armour and sabre Now i created my own "fighter for Star Wars" and nothing can stop us !! And I am glad to have him on my side! Cause war against SW-non-believers can be really hard! So there is no "too young"! Cheers, Mike

Yes, i did my research. Here of course and i had 1, 2 guys from the German Garrison-Team to ask. I am not the one who´s posting every step he did or everything he got. Of course I am proud of my armour . But i wanted to get the right time to present it you guys from the MEPD. And that time is right now I think, i´ll build something with forex (thin plastic) for the MP-40. Cause in this Material I can add 2 knobs, which are fixed at my canvas-belt. I tried a lot with canvas etc, but it always got crooked and didn´t look good. But first, i will try your idea! I´ll let you know, if it worked! Thanks again!

Hi Guys! Thanks for all your comments! I´m glad you like, what i did there! To answer your questions: THE LENSES: I don´t have mirrored lenses. Just normal but double-layerd. On some pictures with flashlight you could see my eyes through and i wanted to avoid that. Maybe it looks like mirrored on some pictures, but is is not. helmet closeup without flash green double layered lenses THE POUCHES: You are absolutely right.. The balance will be kept better, putting it on the other side. I got one wonderful MP-40 Stolla Wien Pouch: Stolla Wien MP40 Leather-Pouch I just need to get it fixed. It´s not that simple than the one used on my pictures, ´cause the strapping-holes on the back are not straight: If anybody has a good Idea how to get it on the belt without destroying it by putting a hole oder a knob in it, please let me know! MP40 Back-Side THE BACKPACK-BLUE: It took a very long time for me, to get the right colour on the Backpack. I tried a few times, but I never was satisfied. Too blue, too grey.... For me it looks more blue, but i weathered it all (like my armour) with a very thin layer of heavy-thinned dusty black-brown. That is the result now: blue reference-picture That was the picture, i tried to be as near as possible.. I will also add the 2 small knobs on the Backpack I think next week i´ll do another photo-shooting. With good light-conditions, more time an no mistakes hiding in the pictures... Thanks for all your comments! Mike

Thanks! It is a good feeling to know, that it looks the way it should! I spent very much time in building the backpack for example... Backpack Close-Up Backpack Close-Up 2 MP-40 Stolla Wien Pouches (these original MP-40 can´t be seen on my actual pictures, cause i need to fix them) and i forgot to introduce myself without helmet..so here we go: Don´t be scared...;-)

Hi at all of the MEPD! My Name is Mike, i am from Munich/Germany- i just got signed here and yesterday i finished the working on my TD-Armour. Of course many, many times i visited this site to get the answer i was looking for. The next days i should be an official member of the 501st. And i want to know from YOU guys, what you think about my armour, weathering and Backpack. I was working on the projekt since January and took my time, to do it right. Now it´s your turn: Sandtrooper´s front Sandtrooper´s front nr.2 Sandtrooper´s right side Sandtrooper´s *** Sandtrooper´s left side Sandtrooper getting upset Sandtrooper´s home Please give me feedback. I think, i´ll have to modify some things to get recruited at the MEPD. Thanks, Mike
