Thanks! It's the HIPS from ATA.

There are lot's of guys on here that know a whole lot more than I do about this, but I would probably trim the back plate it I had to, so that the kidney and ab plates lined up at the sides.

Not long ago I got notice that my TD has been approved. MY pics should be up in a few days on the 501st website. I just need to make a few minor adjustments and will be working on that deployed status soon.

That would be the emergency chapstick for excessive sun exposure while on a deep desert patrol.

YAYYYYYY! I have been approved, I am now TD/DZ 7508! Now it's time ot get to work on adjusting that pack getting the deployment pics.

Thanks for the tips guys. I will work on the pack, I thought the gap looked a little big.

I have actually been finished for a couple of weeks now and have worn my trooper on one troop already, but I am still waiting to hear if I have been giving my TD status. Overall I am pretty happy with everything. I had to use same fairly large shims on the arms and legs due to my Herculean physique and make some cut outs on the backs of the thighs so that I could walk. I may eventually have to make the abdomen a bit tighter. The only real problem I see is the left shin and sniper plate. I cannot get them to stay lined up. It seems to be because of the way the shin is molded and sits around my calf. I am very happy with my pack, I forgot that it was there many times during the troop, it's so light. Once I get my TD status I will take some more pics for deployment. I want to thank Woodman for taking the pics, and for a few parts and tips to help me look better. Any and all other tips and pointers for deployment are welcome. Thanks

That is so COOL! pun intended. Reminds me of the life size one that was done on that ice sculpture show for the hockey game

Wait a minute, maybe I missed it and somebody already caught this. BUT, did you just say that you peed in your thermal detonator?

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking!

I think that Tusken is about to knock you out!

That is really cool. When I get my shop I want to create a space similar to this, or a Firefly theme. And I thought this thread was going to be about TPS reports.

I'm watching ANH right now, and there is a distinctively different blaster sound other than the E-11 during the stop that ship scene. Also the DLT-19 make a distinctive sound during the cell block scene. It is similar to the AT-AT but a little higher in pitch and it only fires in two round bursts. That sound during stop that ship may be the DLT-19, but if it has a different sound than the e-11, then logically the T21 would.

Here's what those trays have turned into so far. I still need a mortar tube, and strapping. I placed an order with Gordonator this morning for a cistern. When I get all of that, then it will be weathered like the radio. I just noticed how the lip of the Stow--n-go shows up, it's not noticeable in person.

That is the best commercial ever, hands down. That kid is great!
