haha here i thought jeans were okay for casual fridays?

Thanks Juan!!! Will do!

No worries! Sooo anyone got some criticism for me or gotta wait till the official submission this weekend? XD

Haha getting dirty was the plan from the get go! We rushed to get my armor together tho so I could participate in our gangnam dance performance at a charity party (video somewhere here lol) xD We have a lot of fun down here in the pacific! We love having visiting troopers join us so whenever you can make it down we'd love to have ya! We're extremely busy around christmas and halloween or you can come to our humble con perhaps xD

Ah! didnt notice that haha but the model wearing my armor isnt me he's a little bit shorter i think so thats why the ab plate is barely seen. thanks for the eye on the sticker tho! I'm quite prepared for the nit picking haha. Heres a pic with me actually wearing the armor, i think the ab plate looks a lot more normal in it Warning: the jaba and leia arent 501st dont worry we're not letting in any walmart costume into our outpost xP

I know I've been lurking about here for awhile, slowly purchasing parts and bugging you guys with questions. However my outpost has helped me tons and I have the first pictures of my armor with weathering. I'm going for the Cantina Captain look to eventually get SWAT approval hopefully (: None of us have tried weathering a TD before so we're very open to all criticism! Take a look and help me out if you have time. Please note we tried to recreate the "skull" on the chest, the crack + scuff on the helmet, the sticker mark on the pauldron, and overall tried to keep it accurate. Thank you everyone in advance for your help!

If I'm not terribly mistaken I believe I was told he is also the "Stop That Ship" trooper (:

Here's the reply I have received from Guns Thank you Nick. Can you do me a huge favor? Can you contact the admins and ask them to contact me? I've been trying to log on to the site for the last two years without success. Thanks bro! He asks you contact him through email. I'll pm those interested starting with trooper1 and dirty boy (:

I'll attempt to let him know you guys miss him and want to hear from him. He barely goes on facebook.. I think my friend request is still pending o.o but I'll try to leave a notification for him on our outpost forum and facebook group. (:

pacific outpost member here.. i know T and see him around in his rebel legion outfits or imperial officer uniform. he makes it out once in awhile and is still around (: I heard about the armor problems and I know he doesnt make TE2 anymore.. or very rarely. He's extremely hard to get a hold of even for some of us in Hawaii.. guns is okay though as far as I could tell. I wasnt here during the recast problems and drama that made him want to quit forging armor else I would have gladly got my sandy suit from him!

except hawaii T.T sniff... me and eric have to wait a little longer thanks for all the hard work!!!

OH NO MY FACE! now i have to go into hiding... xP

haha yeah sorry about the darkness. couldnt really fix that and the video was shot by one of our fellow troops from the VIP section xD it was great fun! Had A LOT of our outpost show up for this one!

We planned a small surprise for Crazy Sexy Ghoul this past weekend (: wanted to share with my dirty brothers! I'm the clean TD on the far right that held off the weathering until after this event to blend in xD

thanks! its a hit with the kids haha in the process of creating my sandy now.. so im conflicted when it comes to shooting jawas

But..but.. i make good friends with armor people!

Pretty please with sugar on top!

happy birthday brother!

I'll try the rivet thing at our next armor building party so I can borrow the gun

I am jealous I still have about 7-9 weeks left on my box!

oh? okay thanks juan! was wondering if it was or not since it's hard to see in some of the reference pictures I'll just spray it black before I use it then.

My bad brothers I tried to circle the part I'm talking about in red but it's really faint. I meant the leather strap sticking out in the same side as the kit pouch. The kit pouch will looks good when I put blocks in it

Do I need to cut this off to make it accurate? If so, how did you guys do it? just cut it where it meets the seam?

Happy Birthday Juan!
