  1. Can I take a separate oath? lol.

    This is my TD Armor. There are many like it but this one is mine. My TD Armor is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my TD Armor is useless. Without my rifle I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my galaxy, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.

    jk.

  2. Looking great man....your weathering seems to match your local environment well.

    I think it's cool to see how different weathering is base on the different areas of the world. Us east coast US guys get all grimey and caked with dirt. The west coast seems to be more of a rocky sand/clay look

    Anyway....awesome job :)

    Rick,

    I think you're right, I don't see many oily/grimey TD's on the west coast. Perhaps not yet at least! Thanks! There are many people on this forum who definitely deserve recognition for helping me out. In fact let me go ahead and name off who and why!

    pandatrooper (fisd/mepd) - your guides and tutorials made my first build much easier/enjoyale then without (I'm sure of it!)

    rougetrooper (fisd/mepd) - helping me with personalized diagrams and feedback throughout my build

    quartermaster (mepd) - pointing me in the right direction when I needed help from fellow troopers and sandy's. also for my AWESOME Captain's backpack! I will have to buy you a beer one day!

    woodchuck (mepd) - kick *** t-21 seen above!

    zadokk (mepd) - thanks for helping with the leather pouches

    troopermaster (mepd) - helping me out with the pieces needed to complete my ab plate modification

    scootch (fisd) - my cap-w lid

    tkittell (fisd) - thanks for the canvas belt

    tk-4261 (fisd) - squirrel fans

    Thank you everybody who I mentioned above once again! Sorry if I missed anyone, but this is one terrific community to be apart of!

    Way to go Peter:duim: !

    Everything looks great! Sholud be an easy pass.

    Welcome to the sand brother!

    thanks!

    What technique and color(s) did you use for your weathering?

    Posted Image

    These are the only two paints I used. I did a total of two passes with the tutorial Terry (pandatrooper) made. Just paint, sponge brush, cloth, and most importantly time. This was my third attempt at weathering.. It probably won't take most people that many times, I'm REALLY a noob at painting. The last time I got any recognition for art was back in the 3rd grade for a contest.. lol.

    Nice suit Peter. The battery knee pack on your right thigh seems to be riveted too high.

    I tried it a few times before I riveted it, but based on my height and the way the armor fits that was actually the best place. Even my sniper knee plate has a piece of ABS angled so that the plate with sit slightly forward to avoid getting caught. =(

    Do I see a clean back kidney plate over here? :P

    Peter, can you take a pic of your amour showing the separated kidney and butt piece?

    Dang!!! Busted!! lol jk. It's just the way the weathering came out..

    Below is the image you requested. You can see my backpack has been leaving its marks.

    Nice looking TD, Brother! Nice to see Sandys patrolling the northern part of the state! ;) Awesome! :td:

    Thank you sir!

  3. Christian,

    Yup! Mine looks exactly the same!

    Just a quick review since I have a few more minutes than just a one liner!

    Thanks Chuck for running this T-21 build! Since the beginning of this build Chuck has been more than willing to answer any questions up front and gave a realistic timeline on getting the work done. I got plenty of (WIP) Work in Progress along the way, which was great getting to see my BFG come together from the start. It came earlier than I expected and looks better in person than it does in the photos; this thing is just so badass. I can't express that enough! Thanks again Chuck!

    Peter
