Okay, after having to trim down the forearms a bit. I have now been approved. just waiting on my numbers to come through
-
looking good, leg are definitely easier with help, i was lucky enough to have VF2112 help me with mine, do you still need to paint the screws on the bucket white?
well and truly on your way though, keep troopin'
-
what has been seen cannot be unseen

heres the t-21, i think i just need telephone cable, metal details for cleaning kit in stock and a shoulder strap

also i redid the velcro on the calves, and have mostly finished painting the T-21, added a couple of staples in my pack straps so they wont come undone again

chest up by apiper211, on Flickrany comments guys, might be looking into lowering the ammo belt on the leg, see how it goes with approval though, might be a bit of a wait as our approval officer is flying over for celebrations

So it's a good enough 'loose interpretation' for trooping? Cant wait to get more work done though, willing to take all tips and pointers

Hey guys, bit slow getting on the MEPD forums with this build thread, I do have a thread on the southern cross garrison that is more chronological, but i'll show where im at
Im very lucky to have VF2112 helping me through this or else Id have no idea
Starting with where im at, i have a pack thats about 90% done, and I now have the parts to finish it so i'll get some work done this week
heres the frame unpainted
heres it painted, its got a bronze undercoat with black over the top to sand off and help with a weathered appearance, same with the tupperware seed trays
I got rid of the maccas frozo cup later
half assembled, already contemplating changing the exhaust port
cistern from Gordonator, radio made using 3mm black abs and using apeers' template
Next is the t-21 using pandatroopers template and guide, made with 18mm mdf, 3mm mdf and 6mm ply, some 32mm dowell, pvc pipe, still have a bit to do but once again, its getting there
and now onto the MTK armour and the first real lot of questions
excited as a boy on christmas morning opening the box
after a lot of help from Vince, this was day 1's effort, thighs arent attached to anything which is why they are falling down, #ShamelessBathroomSelfie
okay so the question is, do i need to trim another inch off each side, so snap and top split rivet are visable or for approval will i just need to show that they are there
-
congrats Vince, you definitely deserved it
-
good luck to all, its a fantastic bucket

Hey Guys, i'm a new recruit from the good old "land down under" Southern Cross Garrison to be specific.
No armour kit yet but I am on the ATA waiting list. In the mean time I've started making a budget "loose interpretation" pack and am gathering materials for a T-21.
Hopefully will be doing a lot of the stuff like making my own shoulder pauldron, looking at how terrible it is, crying, than ordering a quality one.
Already loving how helpful you guys are.
Cheers, Piper.

until i decide to save up some cash for a screen accurate pack, this forum topic is my bible, definitely a fantastic "on a budget" pack
-
Yeah im still waiting on my kit as well, still seems like a fantastic idea. I love how these communities are just helpful and kind
-
Well the trailer is out and we have a much better idea of what the whole kit will look like so hopefully someone will be making kits
-
Wow looks like its coming along great, cant wait till my kit gets in, I dont know if I want docking bay or move along yet
-
F1-FA looks like a ball of fun
-
Looking good Vince, hopefully not too long until we see what the whole armour set will look like and you can spend some more money
-
Hey, im a fresh recruit from Aus too, as Im on the waiting list for an ATA kit, i thought id get started on the pack and BFG, was wondering where you got litter trays and other components from, I just started the frame yesterday, was trying to find some seed trays at Bunnings but they had none
