oo-tee-dee!

From what I've read, you put hairspray onto your weathered armour so the Fullers will stick to it. Then put a tiny bit of fullers on a paintbrush, hold it a couple of feet above the arour, and tap the brush to let the fullers fall off and onto the armour. There is a link somewhere else on this weathering section for a HOW TO page, just can't think which thread

So how many grams are we talking then, 100g, more?

How much do I need to do a whole set of armour and a backpack? Roughly..... I know it's dependent on how filthy you want to be, but just a guideline before I blitz ebay

Where's the pics then c'mon I want to see!

{SMILIES_PATH}/peace.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/peace.gif OOOH! Nice finds!!!!! Just gotta figure out a way to join them together now and attach fastenings to each end........

Hehehe calm down guys it's just so he can realise how much more FUN it is to be a Dirty Trooper

Just bend a piece of white ABS into a clip that will slot over your belt, and velcro the speaker to it - job's a goodun

What a lovely box of white glossy fun - are you going to filthy it up straightaway? Have a few "clean" troops first!!!

The speaker? Lordy no it'd not fit and it would deafen you! I had the old speaker behind my chestplate but the new one is going on my belt. The ROMFX and 12v battery setup is going into the ABS "pocket" that was made to house the old speaker behind my chestplate. I've moved to a 12v setup for my fan too, and that battery box will be in my helmet, but I think having the ROMFX battery box in there too would be a bit overcrowded.

Some of you may know this already but just thought I'd share....over on the UKG boards someone discovered that a Nokia HFS-12 compact speaker is MILES better than the speaker supplied with the ROMFX - I just got one of these and had it fitted this weekend - sound clarity and tone is AWESOME, highly highly recommended....about £4-5 on eBay....get one now!!!

:oops::oops::oops::oops: I've noticed that on some deployment photos, you guys have a pouch on both sides of your belt, but others just have one pouch on one side - which is correct, or can it be either?

Steve has re-weathered the barrel to make it a bit darker with less silver showing, more like the movie gun.

That would be Mr Seth

Latest progress pics: This is a chopped up weedkiller spray bottle that is being used as the exhaust port box: It's been made narrower and will be filled and smoothed before priming and spraying:

That's a sweet looking and ACCURATE T21 dude

Excellent weathering *jealous* I've printed you out for an example of what I hope to achieve - along with Mike 1536's weathering which rocks

I rang loads of people up and left daft messages on answerphones when I first got mine Did you all know that you can get a better speaker for them, which is apparently much louder and clearer than the one supplied? Look on eBay for Nokia Speaker HFS 12. I've got mine but not fitted yet, but other Troopers in the UKG are saying it's awesome.

In the movies, all the black pauldrons looked smaller than the orange ones, either that or the TDs were just broad shouldered guys! I definitely don't want a large pauldron I think I'd get blown away if a gust of wind hit me (despite the huge gun and backpack) If anyone has any measurements they can post to compare Seth's with eBay ones that'd be handy. As for the pouches - d'oh! I guess they must be the same size if they hold the same ammo but the canvas ones won't be as stiff or rigid as the leather ones will they? So may sit nicer on my shoulder.....

So are these smaller than the commercially produced ones like on eBay then? Just to be a bit anal but I was after a black one, and I noticed in the films they don't have the seams down the middle of the main pauldron area, like the white ones do - do your black ones not have the seams either? As for the pouches, erm well the leather ones seem to be a bit huge and I'm v. cautious of not looking "drowned" with all my kit on, as I'm about 5'10" in armour....hence me asking about the small pauldrons...I was going to go for canvas pouches all round, or is this not correct?

Hehehe the auction text says "This new set include the necessary pigments to make fresh mud." One has to think "why not go into the garden and just dig some up???

Noob question Do pauldrons come in different sizes? I've seen some pics of really tiny Troopers whose pauldrons totally drown them and most of their upper arm. I'm not tiny but I'm slight, so was wondering if I could get a slightly smaller pauldron from anywhere....? Also, I used to have a link where you could get the beige canvas pouches from, but I've lost it - can anyone help? I'd prefer canvas pouches over leather.....

Hey that's nicely done, nice coverage and very realistic

All finished!!! It's in a satin black but the camera flash makes it look glossy. Will be a shame to weather it...... Sweeeet as Thanks Steve!!!!
