roger, these packs vary alot from member to member depending on size.

anybody got any screen shots of this? I think it's the 1st I've heard of it.

I know this iss kind of off topic, but I just picked up the new stormtrooper unleashed figure, and it has snowtrooper handplates.

LMAO!!!!!!! God I missed this message board. it's like coming home.

mmmmmmmm.....personal......pornographic...holoprojector...aaaagggghhhhhh

thats alright, theres never too many. hey guys, who's the hookup on the stunt helmets? pm me please. I'm interested./ are they smaller than the FX helmets? I'm a short bugger, so it'd be ideal.

yep, did the same here. didnt wanna get wrapped up in the chaos of the ab-plate orders. still needling the other TD's in my squad to get theirs modded.

progress? pics?

welcome bud! and be safe, or as safe as you can be!

yeah, but we've come up with a million and one different ways of weathering, packs, etc. we'd need to really narrow it down to keep the options a little more basic for folks so they don't feel swamped. Just let them know that if they don't like the main listed methods, there are more to be had in the forums. just my 2 cents..

nice! gotta love the crap we find to bolt on these things! all ya need to do is dirty that puppy up now! I used a drain plug for my disk. check your hardware store, theres alot of different options.

LOL!!!!!!!!! nice! I feel the same way./ yep, nice job bud! be even better once ya get your armor squared away. look forward to havin ya! if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

welcome welcome bud! always nice to see our ranks swell!

LMAO! everybody loves a smart@ss

sweet! just doesnt look right unweathered does it LOL!

I had the same prob, and finally got fed up enough to stop screwing with it, so I swapped over to a heavily modified Done Post Classic action, and it works likem a charm. just a smidgeon on the small side, but closer than the FX kit. on a side note, the RT helmets are still available, you just need to know who to go through. theres a middle man now.

welcome to the poop pile brother!

ditto on the advice upstairs, but screw the ABS cement. way too painstaking, use CA glue with spray accelorator, available at your local hobby store. The CA stands for type of glue not brand. trust me, if you havent used it, try it, you'll swear by it. works great on ABS, Styrene, etc etc. makes these projects go 10X's as fast and cleaner. bonds 100%. trust me, your kit won't come apart, just be careful with it.

lookin good guys, reall good. nice to be back on the forum. been so busy, I was gettin ready to through TD withdrawls.

yep, looks good, I've used the mustard method frequently. works like a charm. I wouldnt however use it on the armor, it's not going to give you the effect you're looking for. You're looking for a sand/ mud/ carbon scoring look. That just boiuls down to misting coats on, getting heavy in the crevices (multiple techniques to doing this), and using fine sandpaper to re-highlight and clean the high spots and edges.

have you checked Ebay bud? or scower the internet, look for military surplus stores?

I wanna become a member of the dewback cavalry!! patches , logos, can I join?

LOL!! God, I wish lifes solutions were always that easy!

Hey now, let's keep this from getting personal! what's wrong with us freaks?

you've got a sandscout in AZ? can we get pics of his suit? just for curiosities sake.
