Helmet's a beauty!

Man, that's one dirty trooper! Great, I like it The only room for improvement I can see is the shoulder elastic straps: they look too clean compared to the rest of your armour. Good luck for your review!

Good job on the weathering! Don't forget to add a pic showing that the lenses of your bucket are green. Good luck with your review

Nice work Markus, looks really cool

The dirty areas look really good, but the others look a little too clean to me. After applying the "heavy" dirt, I gave my complete bucket a wash with some watered down vallejo earth (game colour) but doing this would probably also wash away the pigments.

Hey Chris and welcome to the MEPD, finally you've made it! I love the worn look of yout helmet with all those scratches and paint chips, awesome work so far, cheers mate

Yeah bro, amazing work as always! looking forward to building mine... and getting some advice from you!

Really cool, was also trying to get a genuine Shires but hasn't worked out so far. Looking forward to seeing your pack come together, way to go!

Hi Uli, nice to see you here, we'll surely get you deployed mate!

Hey mate, as far as the boots are concerned, I would go for a pair of black leather riding boots, e.g. https://www.amazon.com/CBL-PRODUCTS-Leather-Jodphur-Boots/dp/B007C25RXY/ref=sr_1_35?ie=UTF8&qid=1514301740&sr=8-35&keywords=jodphur+boots or something similar. Rub them off with acetone and spraypaint them with some white leather spraypaint, it´s much more accurate as far as wear and weathering is concerned, as this is the way it was obviously done in the movies.

Thanks and a merry Christmas to you too

Looking good mate! Should be a walk in the park, keeping my fingers crossed for you

Hey Markus, great pics and great work! I really admire what you have done for Michael and Jamie, you're really a "bad guy doing good" and it's always lots of fun trooping with you, looking forward to future troops Cheers mate

I think those fixes won't be a big problem for you Yeah, merry Christmas and a jappy new year to you too!

Thanks guys! No problems at all with customs, was delivered right to my door, same as with the RS rubber foam DLT.

Yeah Bro, we'll take care of you and get you there in no time!

And here are the products I have used for the paintjob: Final step today was clearcoating it. Next step will be adding all the typical details. Cheers

Hi everybody, my first scratchbuilt T-21 has been sold and I´ve bought a new one. As I really liked the sturdiness of my rubber-foam DLT 19 from RS propmasters, I wanted something similar for my T-21. I really like the Hyperfirm Lewis gun, but living in Germany, it´s very hard to get one, as shipping to Europe is not an option for hyperfirm. I stumbled across shootandscoot.co.uk and their rubber prop looked great, so I gave it a shot, although I wasn´t sure if it would work out for me. Also tried to contact some mates in the UK, asking if they knew anyone having any experience with shootandscoot, but nobody had. But Warren who runs shootandscoot is a nice guy, although very busy supplying movies with rubber props, so it took quite some time for my Lewis gun to arrive, but he added some goodies for my inconveniences. And what can I say, I´m very happy with the Lewis gun, most details are very sharp, especially the ribbing on outer barrel, as well as the lettering on the gun. There are also some minor rough edges ...and it´s quite heavy, but should I ever drop it, I know that it will hold up, only my paintjob might get scratched. The blaster came with an ANH Vader-like paintjob, just some brushed on gunmetal paint and some brown for the stock. I have kept the stock and grips as they were but I completely redid the paint on the rest. I used Tamiya gunmetal first, then used some Tamiya aluminum, I then gave it some drybrushing of rub´n buff antique gold on the ribbed section of the barrel, gold leaf on the cooling fins and silver leaf on the rest, after that I used revell colour stop to mask of certain areas to emulate wear around the edges. of the receiver. I completely masked off the barrel areas with the ribbing and gave it a coat of matte black spray paint, after rubbing off the colour stop fluid and taking off the masking tape, I gave it a wash of a mixture of watered down black and chocolate brown acrylic paint to make it look like my real Sterling, which I have used as a colour reference. I also used some pics of a real vintage Lewis gun. reference real Lewis gun: a pic of my Sterling: And pics of the final paintjob on the rubber Lewis: in the picture above you can also see some of the rough edges in the cast.

Nice! ...except for the Jedi

Hey Vincent, I was already waiting to see your application here, really nicely done with all the reference pics! Absolutely stunning work on the helmet. I think some spots on your chestweathering are a little too strong and others are missing. Good luck on your review mate!

Impressive pic with the star destroyer, awesome!

Cool mate, congrats!

Great pics, Death Trooper looks badass too. No-weapons-troop? Always good to have the binoculars

As I already said on FB: amazing work, love it, really cool mate!

Some really cool pics, looks like it was fun... hope you didn't get too close to the water to wash of your weathering
