  1. Just to showcase some more of Gundamzeppelin's work, here are some pics of his work on the armor. The two pauldron's above are mine. I didn't get them in time for when the below pics where taken. When I get a chance I'll try to get some more.

    For people like me who have no spare time, Gundamzeppelin is a life saver. He was great to work with and communication was incredible. He would always pm with updated pics on every step. Great guy to work with.

  2. I took these two photo's from THIS thread (I didn't want to hijack it).

    If this topic has been brought up before, please forgive.

    Along with the armor in the box is an AR-15 without the front hand guards, no "carrying handle" or rear sight, no pistol grip, and the stock looks to be made up of something.

    Has anyone ever seen in a any production photo's, behind the scenes, or any reference books the use of an AR? Or was this pic taken post production years later and the AR is from some other movie? I don't know the origin of the pic, Ive' only seen it here on the MEPD forums.

    It would be nice if they were either used or modeled after for other weapons. I've been thinking of using an M-79 and adding a couple of no frills parts as a project to make another TD weapon. I've always liked how the "Blooper" looked and it would fit nicely into a TD's arsenal.

  3. We are discussing the possibility of making kits for the Mg-34's we sell.

    IF we do this, the new Hyper-firms will come with the kit already installed

    the kits might be offered to those that already purchased the MG-34's from us.

    They would include;

    Barrel fins

    Disk for pistol grip

    Cover for the Feeder tray

    (anything I missed?)

    I need reference pics of the real deal for accuracy

    any input from you guys would be very helpful :y:

    Oh yeah, please post if you'd be interested. No idea on pricing yet.

    Could you guys also make a charging handle?

    Any word on if this will happen?

    BIDS

    Miami437-$400

    Once bidding is over, payment instructions will be sent to the winner. The MG-34 will be shipped via UPS once payment is received. I will cover shipping costs.

    Moderators-Seth allowed me to post the auction here in the Barracks. This auction is announced on 501st boards and some may not be members here. Please don't move.

  5. I think he means how they are so pinched narrow at the top and don't allow your shoulder to fit well causing the ROTJ look. (they are cast from ROTJ after all, right?)

    Exactly! The pauldron will cover the right shoulder but the left side bothers me. I thought of heating up a bit to try to widen it. But I thought I'd ask first. I would hate to ruin it. I don't want to make the elastic trap super tight either to try to hold it in.

    Thanks.

  6. Hello everyone. I've just been recently deployed to the MEPD. I am in the Alpine Garrison living in Utah.

    First, I would like to thatnk everone on the boards with all the research and knowlegde that is shared. I have learned a lot more about armor here than anywhere else. And a big thanks to Mike 1536. As a newbie, your website helped a lot.

    Second, FYI, I am not a big poster on forums. So, if you dont see many posts it doesnt mean that I'm not around. If I do have any ideas or come across any info that may not be known, I will chime in!

    Once again thanks to evryone and I'm looking forward to meeting some of you at CIV.
