Great, being this trooper is seen for all of a second and only seen from the chest up, well, did a lot of guessing here. There was some talk with the guys in my squad as to what armor this was in the movie. Any suggestions to point me in the right direction would be great help. Having the weathering match up was my biggest issue so far. I look forward to your advice Juan after all it was your encouragement that lead me to mod my armor to even get to the app state. Thanks again brother for the program.

Very nice! A couple of things would like to see, would be some close ups of the 34, of the Pauldron, for the puffy sections, and rivet locations. Then a recommendation. Trim the belt, ammo belt down a bit on top and bottom. Take just a little off the top, and bottom. Just some minor details will go a long way!

Added your pauldron to the mix along with close up of the pouches. super nice work there my brother. (forgot to take picture of it close up) Just so I'm clear on the cut trim the top and bottom so it's inline with the canvas belt?

love the TM armor man...good luck

Don't you know it! Paul makes some awesome stuff. Mine is 1mm kit too. super thin and light yet very durable. although I had to do some crack repairs from the running stunt I pulled at TXCC. LOL

Well I fixed the format looks like better. I hope I got it right this time. Thanks for the comments so far. The rivets are gone from the knee plate as suggested by Juan. Lighten up weathering as requested by Bluey. Props to Rolf for the advice.

:PHa Ha! Nice. I would have done the same.

There is a small gap on the other side about an inch. I was going to shim it to close it up for SWAT. I also was going to fix cover strips and one snap i didn't like.

TM armor doesn't go around mid section as well as say AM. Any suggestions on how to close the gap? I was going to glue a piece in the gap with face strips on the inside to give it a seamless look. Then camo it a bit with weathering.

List of minor fixes so far. Close the gap on right side, shorten cover strips, fix one snap that really bugs me, and find a way to roll up backpack straps when in use

Anyone see anything else which may need adjusting to make SWAT?

Thanks to all. Special props to Quartermaster for the pack build, Rolf for the pics to guide me, pandatrooper for the weathering advice and Troopermaster for the armor kit.

Couldn't have done this without you.

Officially TD in the 501st now. Is there a section here for TD only. Can't find the area with the 10th ann challenge coin. Wanting to pick one up and a patch too. Can someone point me in the right direction?

That weathering looks great man!!! I like th contrast from really white to really dirty. Out of curiosity what did you use?

It just a basic burnt umber acrylic paint. I just sponged an even amount of paint all over then I used a damp terry type hand cloth to rub off spots. The key is to just let the paint partially dry then leave a little thicker amount in the crevasses. That really gives it the appearance of dirt accumulating on the armor as it would in real life. It really looks better in person. Glad you all like the weathering.

Sorry Darren but that is too many blasters..... you gonna have to send me that MG15 I'm afraid dude

Looking good mate!

Smally.

Dang corruption in the police force already. Lol

Yeah, not really wanting to cut them because it comes on and off with ease do to the additional strap length. I do need to come up with a method to roll up straps so they aren't just floppin around. Heck of a pack and I'm glad the straps are that long. I was thinking of using some reusable cable ties to roll the up and secure them.
