THE TROOPER

Wow,....those pics are great !! Awesome work guys !!! That sucker IS heavy. Imagine doing grass drills with that thing ?? Those who were in the service will get that one....lol

Hey Kirk, that weathering job came out awesome. Can't wait to see your bfg when completed.

You should try some nomex flight gloves with the handgaurds glued on. Man are they comfy and practical. Best for comi cons and small troops like that. Their awesome for pics too. I got a couple pairs Rob, if ya want to try em.

Welcome bro....

Awesome. Nice shot of the BFG. Yea!!!

Hey Tim, Juan is correct. Plus he's got a kick a$$ pack to boot. When I wore mine to a hospital I almost knocked over an iv bag.....but in time you'll learn to 1. Back up ...s l o w l y. 2. When turning around, refer to answer 2......lol

$$ Dough^nated my brothas.

Lookin very cool Mike. Will be following.

Most impressive......always remember to have fun with this bro. Enjoy every step of the way because, before you know it, .....BAAAAM. youll be finished and sending in your submission pics. Keep up the great work.

Ahhhh it's the big guns for me.

Ooofa, I knew I shouldn't have had the desert. Happy thanksgiving everyone, be safe.

Hey Nick, that rig looks fantastic. All the best bro....

Is it possible to sew a couple of belt loops to the pouch then put the belt through the loops ? I guess you could use snaps too, but I would try the loops to be more secure .

Lookin good bro. Almost there

Really nice job Felix

Lookin good bro. Nice BFG. See you in the cantina soon.

UMMMMM Heck to the noooooooooo. I wouldnt ruin that man. That looks fine the way it is. Just my .03.

Pretty sharp there Rich. Nice job.

Another great source for backpacks and parts is our very own Dirtyboy. Great customer service and packs that are SWAT on. See what i did there. Just give him a pm.

Yes, as soon as this build is done, it must be sent to me for final inspection, and field testing for ahem, cough cough,,, weeks. Carry on trooper, great work.

Yea you know where that came from........heh heh heh

Hey Kieth, wow, you got the itch too i see. lol. Welcome to the MEPD bro. Take your time and have fun. RS is a great rig. I would definitely go shopping for a good set of lexan scissors, e6000 glue, some clamps, rare earth magnets,a good exacto knife, but i prefer a good box cutter,ruler, straight edge, some masking tape, pencil,and a bottle of asprin kidding, but that should get ya started. Again, have fun bro.

I love when Mike posts,,,,there so easy to read on my phone...

Hey, Thomas, I know the feeling. Don't worry, you will be trooping soon. Start off small. What I mean is, take the biceps out of the box, then shut the box. Ok,? next, cut,and glue together the biceps together to fit YOU. When your done, and feel confident, go on to the forearms,etc. Mike from trooperbay has fantastic videos on how to assemble accurate trooper armor. But the mind thing for me was STOP looking into the brown box. The only time you do that is to make sure you have everything. Take your time bro and have fun with it. If you need help just ask, or pm someone. There's plenty of veterans here that are more than willing to help. Be sure to start a build thread also and take pics to show your progress. Now, go get those biceps.....
