inglorious trooper

darek, welcome to the friendliest and most useful forum in the galaxy buddy !!

yeah manuel, i agree it doesnt sound very safe! to be honest i feel like there saying you can troop but tough **** if you lose your stuff! this just another example of how the way these big conventions are going,basically "give us your money then **** off" if they really care about us they could of easily sorted a way of making rooms sucure! its not like i paid £20 for this weekend! also why im having a moan,add the price of the tickets,unsucure changing and the **** right rip off merchants that are signing autographs(i think they call them the top star wars actors), and what have you got? a convention that is being ruined by greed by money grabbing bastards that have forgotten that the only reason these weekends work is purley because of the fans,keep pissing them off(which they are doing)) and they will not have a pot to **** in! that aside,I CANT WAIT!!lol

craig, no worries dude,i can do it for a decent price in my sandy,also i dont charge for the extra wait of the pack crushing your spine!!

well i really like it boss! the idea of it coming into your inbox is spot on! id love to be in the police officer cleared pics in the next issue,but with work and trooping ,time is passing by,hopefully il make september issue!! wow,that sounds ages away!!

nice one joe, good set of armour you got there mate! like you say if you need any help myself and plenty of others are more than willing to walk you through one piece at a time! the fact its already put together should make it a breeze, but any problems,just post a pic(if possible)and we'll sort you from there! good luck and hope to see you cleared soon!

looking great darek, the only thing that i can see being a problem is your trays for the pack. the ribs are supposed to bump outwards not inwards! if you wanted to go for the full accurate look,the top 2 trays have 3 ribs and the bottom 2 trays have 5! im not trying to worry you in any way,just thought id let you know before you started to assemble everything. good luck with your pack,just remember "dirty boy" and "quartermaster" are the two sandys to speak to with any problems you have concening your pack build,not only that they can help you with any parts you need! all the best bro!

coool pics! im actually working on a TK myself at the moment, suffer with a bad back so its always there if i need it!

its a conspiracy!! there doing this on purpose!

are you going for S.W.A.T. or just basic clearence steve?

i use rustoleum multi purpose slate blue, its not a bad match at all if that helps!

i'l be there bro,also for the M.E.P.D. photoshoot! as joe said,a little worried about secure changing facilities though!

welcome back to sh***ville lol!!

i know it sounds obvious,but cant you bring in your spacings a small bit?

how many are you trying to fit,15?

have a great time you lucky sandy you!! to be honest we wont miss you at all. just kidding,get yourself back in the sandpit safe and sound bro!

i really like it, nice touch guys!!

great stuff frank, i really like what you've done with the text and the fact you've put the M.E.P.D. forum info in there,good idea !

hehe lol! yeah you tree dodger! good job we know your hearts in the sand!!! 76 all the way,as you say (oh,that rhymed)

lol,see you tomorrow for a well overdue troop!!!!

if i remember "pandatrooper" made a tutorial a good while back if that helps! your plate should just sit flush with your shin,remember it should be stuck on with no rivits,bolts showing at all!

no probs,it will have to be tomorrow night though!

that looks cool,whats the damage for one of those bad boys then?

hey pac, just having a better look at your pics, it looks to me that your forearms and biceps could do with coming in at the back a little! how do they feel when wearing them,do they fit nice and snug or are you finding that there is a lot of room for them to waver around? i find a good rule of thumb for the biceps is to tense your muscles,basically you wont need them any looser than that! with the forearms i have them tight but can still put two fingers down inbetween my arm and the forearm, does that make sense?lol i thought id post that info up as it might be a good place to start, good luck,and if you need any close up pics,let me know and i'l take some!

lol
