TD42115

Paul, Have it shipped to a US address.. I use http://crossborderpickups.ca/ for all my USA orders over 200.00. They give you a NY mailing address and its delivered to their USA facility, Then they clear it with their internal brokerage. once its over the boarder you pick it up at their Mississauga location and pay a small fee and done... Hope it helps, i will be using this when i retire my T21 and buy a DLT from Lewis as well... Chris PS. I used to live in Orangeville and my Ex was from Shelburne :-)

Welcome to the dirty side.

Thanks, will be doing 501 submission as soon as my last 2 peices arrive. Funny you mention that pauldron its a older trooper bay one.. But yes it will need to be replaced by a trooper1 when going for swat, need a pack to get officer so that is a little down the road anyways :-)

Thanks for the reply's gents..

I assume they need to be flat head to be accurate to the time they were first created...

Afternoon everyone, I have been going nuts looking for the accurate flat head screws for the bottom of the chest plate to emulate the internal strapping.. As see in below picture, where you all getting them from ?

Made some weathering changes to emulate TD-16080 (Striders) Swat application as thats the general base for the Tuck and Roll..

Congrats, i will be following this as im going for tuck and roll :-)

As soon as i get the last 2 pieces.. 3 button strip and Spanish small pouch.. Just worked on the temporary straps for mp40 pouch today..

so i was walking around the house for a while, used valcro on front of boots and inside at the bottom of the calves to keep everything strait

Yeah, I know you too lol, got your build thread started ?

hahaha great reply's everyone, thanks a bunch i will get it rigged up for photos once my small Spanish arrives..

lol

OK. so today was another good one, finished the weathering, and first fitting as a sandy and the new elastic bridges.. Fits so much better in the chest.. here is a few updates... Still have some adjustments to make and 2 return edges to remove but its great..

The CRL is kinda iffy on the exact locations too.. but does state a standard location to be on left shoulder... http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TD_sandtrooper Ammo Pouches For 501st approval: All Sandtrooper armor parts are weathered. See the Sandtrooper weathering page for more information. Black in color, made of canvas, leather or leather-like German MP-40 style ammo pouches. The standard configuration calls for a minimum of two pouches: one pouch on the left shoulder and one on the right hip. A third worn on the opposite hip is allowed. Option: If choosing to replicate a screen used configuration of equipment, the number of pouches may be altered. See the MEPD SWAT page for more details. Note: Screen used configurations also include specific color Pauldrons and individual backpacks styles.

Afternoon All, A few quick questions as im nearing completion of my TK-TD conversion. My plan is to go for basic approval from the get go, then get a pack for Officer, then ditch the pack for Swat Captain docking bay 94 (tuck and roll). Does my Mp40 need to be on my left shoulder for basic & officer ? as im shooting for tuck and roll its on my left hip with my small spanish is on my right hip. Thanks, Chris

Dollar store too. picked up a few pairs..

thanks getting closer to being done, again. lol hope to be building the elastic bridge this week (all other strapping is complete), waiting on a few small things like pouch and 3 button strip..

ok here are some updates, changed the weathering a bit, got alot done today...

Heads up AP doesn't offer the diamond knee and the 3 button strip i had to source them here after converting.. Marks New AP is great kit out of the box love the armor, but if you got a chest size of 47+ go RT-MOD, i will be doing a TK via RT in the near future..

Made some changes to the weathering and started on the thighs today... YA YA diamond knee, and 3 button ab strip on the way...

ive decided to redo the chest and back as they dont match very well. then a 1:3 mix of burn umber and water with a bright brush and ill be onto the legs... Helmet is last as its the least weathered...

Welcome Paul, Oakville Ontario here..

First Dark Layer.. might need more what ya all think. Shooting for Swat Captain, Tuck and Roll..

Im in the same boat here need the 3 buttons and a diamond knee..
