right on! very nice job! nice to see folks upholding and surpassing MEPD standards!
-
hey guys n gals, heres a new fan film we shot up here in CCS courtesy of TD-1722 enjoy!!
-
no, it doesnt look sanded, and the sanding just smoothes it and it and makes it look weathered versus big blobs of spraypaint.. if you wanna weather your armor and become a sandie, get used to dings, dirt, crap, etc, don't try and keep your armor pristine and shiny under it all LOL! honestly, using these products varies little from the other products reccomended on these boards. theres a ton of different way to weather, and it's all in the technique. pay attention to what you're doing, and practice on some spare abs first..

works great, you just need to do it small patch by small patch, and sand it with 220 while it's wet. once you get used to it, it's awesome to work with. rustoleum makes a similar textured product in an aerosol that comes in black and tan that has the same look but even easier to work with, again, there, 220 while it's wet, and varying thicknesses, but even after a year+ of trooping with it, it's still a tectured sandy finish when you touch it, very nice!

yeah, sounds like FX is the way to go. it's the most flexible for customization.
-
man! I wish I had made it! I was grinnin from ear when I saw the dirty helmets marring that pure white wave. talk about feeling a lump in your throat! ahh well, such is life. glad to hear everyone had such a good time. wheres the MEPD group photo?
-
nice!, and killer pack 2 bro! nice work!
-
wooooohooooooo!!!!!!!!! (waves a dolla!) god I love mepd!, aint nothin sexier than dirty armor and a bfg!
-
roger that! theres always room for more in the pig pen!!
-
yep, pm me if interested, and we'll get ya hooked up w. the armor of your choice. and welcome!!
-
yep, just got mine, and I give it a D- considering the money it cost for it in kit form and what it'll take to make this thing worth a crap. the detail for the most part is pretty dulled out, and the plastic it's pulled from is wayyy too flimsy. it's just ridiculous. anywhoo, I've got my work cut out for me to assemble this thing so off I go.
-
lookin good and welcome to the dirt pile bud. theres a couple tutorials on how to modify your existing ab-plate to a TD plate floating around.
-
I don't know if there's any way to get those to look right. I'd black kiwi the crap out of em.. then maybe a clear coat over the top..
-
same here!, can I get a pm on contact info for that kit? thnx.
-
yeah, the FX bucket is a piece of crap, I hate that thing, I got tired of it years ago, and have been sportin a highly modified Don Post classic action, but am gettin ready to give the stunt a trial. I like size proportion, and bein able to move my head.
-
try fog-x, works better/ I fit pa system and fans in my DP classic action. just gotta work to make it happen.
-
****, I wear a black nylon pouch on my clean TK, as well as my pouch on my TD for my smokes. I couldnt agree more. I love helping the kiddies, and will run ten miles in armor if it helps one of em, but I am not a kids type of person on my own time. after a few hours, I gotta find a quiet corner to go hide behind, pop the bucket, and soak up some nicotine. Then back to the good cause it is
-
yep, sounds like a plan.
-
my gap aint too big, and I'm lucky on the love handles, it's just my beer belly that likes to make that gap on my side a smidgeon bigger. I think I might to the plastic on the sides as well.
-
see! it aint hard! for those of you on the fence, just take your time, but it's really not rocket science!
-
thanks bud! LOL! the tick! man I havent seen the tick in friggin forever. did you ever see the live action tick show? with batmanuel? it rocked!
-
yep, if you're using a heat gun, keep your distance, and don't stay in one area too long. really baby it.
-
I woudnt sweat it dude, we've got everything from the tiny guys who have the armor hanging off em, the the tall thin guys with huge gaps at the knees and elbows, and the guys who look like a gorilla stuffed into a TK suit, and everything in between, and it all looks pretty much ok, so I wouldnt worry too much about your girlish figure.
-
yep, mines clipped to my shoulder strap via an extra nylon strap. sounds like pretty much the same system.
Check out the CHICKS!

LOL, whoah folks, opinions are like @ssholes, everybodys got one, go look at any comic book shelf, or sci-fi book shelf, etc. we all grew up with scantily clad gals on our sci-fi and fantasy books, it ain't nothin new, and it was inevitable that it'd slide into our little world. Move along, Move along
