    Bringing weapons through UK Customs/Immigration

    in The Barracks

    Posted

    Hi Brothers,

    I managed to get my blaster into the UAE without any problems (most likely due to incompetence/lack of interest at Dubai Airport, I fear..) but was wondering about clearances/permissions needed to take it into Europe.

    I want to fly back to UK in February for a troop at my daughters' school, but wanted to find out exactly what sort of customs clearance i need, if any.

    All advice appreciated!

    APPROVED - TD19976 Reporting for Duty

    Got my 501st approval this morning, TD No. 19976 :)

    Also, straight into the XO's role of the UAE Outpost - not difficult really, as there's only 2 of us, including me, lol.

    Gonna have my first (solo) troop on Friday at the Dubai Grand Parade, so may make the local news but will be sure to get some photos posted soon.

    No worries dude.

    I did experiment with paints on some spare ABS that RS kindly provided but felt they just looked too flat; the blotches, sweeps & smears from the Fullers earth is far more natural and gives a crusty "dusted on", rather than "wiped off" look.

    The other advantage, from a disaster recovery perspective, is that the hairspray/Fullers earth combo washes straight off after 20 seconds under a warm shower, no rubbing/scrubbing required as with paints. I speak from experience... ;)

    Hey Sarge,

    I followed the video from Trooperbay and was really pleased with the result; basically, use hairspray as the 'glue', and build up the layers.

    I did an initial, light coating of the sand-coloured FE to provide the overall grubby base coat. Then a solid application of the cocoa-coloured one, focussing on the creases & crevices. Once this is dry, use a damp rag (I used a flannel, to get an uneven appearance) to break up the FE and push/wipe/smear it into all the cracks and break up any lines or streaks.

    Finally, another light coating of the slate-coloured, to give that top-coat, grimy look. Once you're happy with the result, give the armour a really good blast of hairspray to lock everything in, then just lightly buff out the shine, so it doesn't look too new.

    I really just followed TB's video, and the only differences were;

    a) the personalisation fo the actual weathering strength/appearance, and

    B) i didn't sand as much; I just relied on the wet rag

    I've got some WIP photos & videos, which I'll upload soon and will add some more of the finished product - I'll put a thread up when ready.

    Cheers Brad - got the green light from GML, so was on 501st site like a Jawa on scrap!

    Had to submit direct to HQ, as there is no Garrison staff here in the UAE Garrison; looks like me and another TK noob will be straight into command roles once we get approved!

    Thanks Shark!

    Got the shoulders and arms finished tonight - got tomorrow completely set aside to get the body done, so super-psyched about that :)

    Have got a cheeky plan for instant weathering on my pouches and pauldron, so IF it works I'll be sure to share with everyone.... ;)

    Thanks Brad - spent tonight adding the finishing touches and started to fit & wire the fans; got 2 of 4 up and running and will get the other 2 fitted tomorrow night.

    Will get back to weathering at the weekend, and crack on as much as possible - I want to get it all finished before my daughter arrives for holiday next weekend ;)
