Love it ! Very funny.

Great news Chris. Welcome aboard !

Congratulations Felix, well done.

Andrew. Looking good brother. One thing that will help with the glossy areas of your armor is to give it a light layer of color. Like browns or tans. Just some color to take away the gloss, will help out.
See you in the ranks soon I am sure.
Thanks everyone it feels great. Jay, I have been toying with the idea of a very light wash but wasn't sure if it would be to dirty (If that is possible). I plan to start the long road to SWAT after Christmas & will be going for the Cantina Sargent, so i will put the wash over the armor during the holiday period. Thanks for the input.
Andrew.

Great photos Frank. Looks like it was a fun troop. Also how is the SE Sandy coming along ?
-
Excellent build Felice, should be an easy pass.
-
Chris,
Like you I am on the larger side to. But I did cut all the extra plastic off as I think it makes the sides to square. I then added flexible shims in. Once you have your ammo pouches on you hardly notice them. I put the 3 rivets that should be on the kidney plate on the front of the shim so that you still get the effect of all 6 rivets close together. Hope this helps.

Congratulations Joseph, a magnificent build & great to see a white pauldron for a change.

Hi Everyone,
Here are a few photo's from the start of Scott's big walk around Australia (Storming Australia) to raise $100,000 for the Monash Childrens Hospital. He has had T.V., Newspaper & even Radio coverage here & He is currently about halfway across Tasmania.

Guys,
Here are a few photo's from the Melbourne Armageddon a couple of weeks ago. It was a huge turn out for the 501st as we had troopers come from Adelaide, Sydney, Canberra & Queensland. We even had 4 troopers come across from New Zealand for it. It was also the first time i have been able to troop with my son (He is the JAWA).

Hi Guys,
Here are a couple of mine so far. I have also been using the referances you have been aswell as my eFX just for sizing. I have filled in the rear seam to try and give the bucket a 2 piece look & have trimmed the sides roughly to the shape of the ears & where they will sit. Even though it looks smaller I can actually wear my glasses inside the NE bucket. Hope this helps.
Andrew.
P.S. Will the NE Bucket be SWAT approvable ?
-
Is the affiliation only if you are Police officer or SWAT approved, if you are an approved TD ?
-
Good luck Andy, looks great so far.
-
Well done Alan, congratulations on an excellent build.
-
Congratulations Andy, great looking Armor build. Nice to see another white pauldron.
-
Hi Christopher,
I have just had my TD approved & it is also NE. If you need any advise just PM me & I will see if I can help. I did cut the bottom of the shins/calves as I found it to restrictive around the ankles. I also did the same around the wrists on the forearms.
Andrew.

Congratulations Victor, another fantastic SWAT build.

Hi everyone,
Well after 18 long months of ordering, building & getting approved, I finally did my first troop & absolutly loved it. It was for a charity called Kids Flix that put on movie days for children with disabilities & disadvantaged backgrounds. I finally also got to find out what it is like to wear the helmet & armor for 2.5 hours straight, but seeing the reactions on the kids faces made it all worth it & I can now fully appreciate why we do this. Anyway here are some photos, hope you like.
