Okay,
well actually we have only foggy weatherconditions here and when I come from work its already dark.
So here a pic from this morning on my balcony:
and one with kitchen light, which shows up already a bit different

I've tried out TAMYA Coral Blue TS-41
That Satin blue I saw before would have been my favourite, but didnt find someting like this.
Result is not so bad

hi there
still not PO yet sadly, but I hope I will make it.
Now after some heavy months of hard times and stress I started with the armour and now also the
backpack as it maybe could be a must for general approval. But I think also that a pack belongs to
the sandtrooper too.
I must admit I had lot of respect to start. Hope the missing parts will come together soon too.
Now, I'm on Backpack 3, browsed threads, looked at and save lot of pics. Sadly in some threads I cant see all.
So far I started putting together what I can already build before attaching and assemblying. But more and longer
I'm becoming way worried as I do not know how free one can be in the way how to put on those things. And in the
end it's "only" the look that it needs to have of the 5 different packs.
An example here, exhaust port box. I have Rick's boxes and as they are not flush, I asked myself how to do the assembly
of it, without going danger to have to bend behind me grabbing fallen off things at first troop.
1) I designed the form onto a spacing plate for a better fixing
the unflush part I cut off
2) like here
3) much better to screw now
Is that "okay" ?
I also have this solution in mind for the left box on top and the radio for example
On the main gear I added screws on the edges . Sadly not sinking screws as I didnt find such with that length. The slots on the heads I will mold for sure.
Just dont wana have it fall apart.
Thank You in advance!

Exciting! I'm actually on #3

another pic from bottom . The grey stuff is what is called "mold" (Tamya Putty Basic Type, excellent to work wit but making hands really dirty) I think. Every easy to break off or lose part is multiply secured with metal sticks, for what I've cut 1mm thick nails and drilled holes by hand with a hand driller that I normally use for scalemodeling, after taking measures of the part, its somehow improvised but I think combined with 2 element composit glue it has much better hold

Striker: Thanks! Looks nice!! I've already solved it for myself and.. did it the same way with a Forstner Drillbit and 5 holes. I went on either Dm101 or Billhag tutorial. Dont know exactly wich one. Tried to get into middle in proportion to the holes on the main barrel, what can't be seen here because of the perspective of the camera (again: cant make new lines **** why this?) . The little holes will be molded, and I'm not that far away from getting it to paint. There's only mounting of the counterbracket left.
-
Wanted to do that, but as for some reasons I cannot make new lines in the forums with Enter (also in FISD) its almost impossible to make an overviewable thread
Don't know why that. Cant be my keyboard as in mailingprograms its working. Anyone knows? -
Only this
Made it this week to Level 2 - Executor status insde the IOC detachment
-
hey,stay positive michael!!
im sure this is something very uncommon,and even might be some story thats rolled
down the hill like a snowball,if you know what i mean lol.
im sure your TM armour will arrive safe and sound bro!
Hope for sure that You're right. It's not TM that I'm afraid of. It's the degeneration of people
-
Don't like to read that.
Switzerland just right next to Germany.
I wait for a TM that isnt yet ready to ship but should be soon.
After the bad luck with tkboots I really wouldnt need that too.
But after the desertpack parts have arrived safely, I dont know
if I really should be worried. Still though it sounds a bit unconfortable
and I just recently got a proof the parcels are treatened generally like
crap that is be smashed into the car, and that mail gets stolen.
Not a good feeling.

Marcus,
I'm talking about details , differences , like this:
3 1/2 holes
4 1/2
It's just confusing !
I see so many different things that I more and more get tempted not to even start , I mean...........
it's not the same like having a clear CRL for at least the minimum requirements as reference and go after it
I dont even know if it matters at all. Does it ?
oh man..

Hi there,
one of my - advancing in the project - steps is to build together an E11 Resin kit,
that I got as search for DLT19 was way very hard as european.
Anyway.
I've stripped all the resin parts carefully first. Soap-Washing will be done after machining before painting.
I studdied Evilboy tutorial on whitearmor net and also billhag's, concerning the mount of the
hengstlerbox. Meanwhile I found out where are the parts are going to, as there was no - known - description.
One thing I havent found out yet though in the evilboy's build which is this
http://www.whitearmo...__fromsearch__1
1) It's the number of holes in the two-part stock:
Premachined I can see 3 and a half on the front part, none on the other. Ive seen pics where there
are more holes than 3 and a half. Is there a MUST BE number ? Or: whats use or good for MEPD (to be honest
I dont know - yet (?) if there are restrictions / rules on weapons)
To repeat its the ANH version.
2) something else is the inside tube or barrel in the mainbarrel with / for the shock spring,
where I have the idea of having two alu tubes with different diameters (1 with ~2cm and 1 with ~1.5) with the
smallerdiamaterone longer, so the shock spring gets a hold and the tubes (glued ) dont flip arround inside .
I generally only ask myself if one's free in creation and the only importance really is that it looks like the.
I thought I should ask before I make the start. And again confess that this is my first armor / weapon project
Best regards &
thx for any advice
-
So far it looks like it's only for the detachment first.
Thought that there might be guys here who have access.
But anyway in the end I might have some left and will post
that here again once I have them if they produce them.
Sorries & greets

@Gordonator:
Yep!
It is about 3" and 11" Version that can be ordered when made:
1) Price is not sure yet.
2) It will be produced when interest of 50 11" is reached (actualy might be about 45)
3) I'm trying to check out if they might show the thread also in the main 501st legion board. As far as I have searched, it isn't there.
4) If not, I will collect Your intrest here and post it
5) K keep Ya updated!
All the best,
Michael

Hi,
in the IOC Forum there's an actual thread about a 2013 patch run.
To get it done there is also an amount of 11inch patches necessary,
we are close to the 50 that are necessary.

Hi marcus,
do a banner , about 570 x 140 pixels , load it up, link it in your signature with the image-option.
And if You need someone who does the banner I can help.
-
Gratulations !
-
That helped already a lot Marcus!
-
Have mine not yet.
In my studdies where I asked arround a lot
I got recmmendations for ATA, RS and TM.
Went for the last happily wait for it.

Oh didnt see this thread, made an own one, but ok , again.
Not much replying necessary.
Soon 42 years old. Swiss. Join 501st Legion Sept. 2012.
Started first costume Jan 2012, Black line off which I'm still upgrading,
with better belt boxes that will come in soon and a brown leather holster
for my MSP5.
Since my join I had 2 major events. Cool was that on my premier I had the
chance to shake hands and talk with David Prowse and Jeremy Bulloch at
Swiss Fantasy Show 2012. I will never forget that!
What else do I do? Going to cinema I like. TV for sport mostly, other stuff rather bores
me. TV has not that character anymore. Lot of rubbish. I like strategy games like
the Total War stuff or Blitzkrieg, Suddenstrike Style. Actually World of tanks. Besides
I'm doing scalemodelling from time to time, mostly in 1:72 scale with planes and tanks,
concerning starwars I made an AT-ST and a Star Destroyer. Last one with no lights though,
all painted by hand. At this time of the year mostly love to go skiing, but I got an injury in the
back and had to make therapy as it never really went away anymore. 2 months ago I started
again going to finesscenter 2times a week and a bit swimming, wich I do since years but started
to become a bit contra-productive as I can only breaststyle.
Oh and I like 501st Legion patches. We soon get our 15th anniversary version out.
I like it here. New ground to me though, but had already good help.
All the best
Michael
