I think i kind of have some idea what's going on. I did comment on his PO post before.
I suggest TD2190 to make peace with the deployment officers here first and foremost. They (Deployment Officers) do not do this for a living. In reviewing, when they receive PO / SWAT applications which are not as guide-lined, this waste both the DO's time & applicants'. So, read the PO guidelines properly, go one by one, line by line, with clear background, proper camera angles, & in high res as required.
Also, get your 501st clearance first step, 2nd is PO, then SWAT.Commenting/ rather "criticizing" unnecessarily in people's threads doesn't help really.

Here to chime in some encouragements... i say this is a good one, one with "effort" in presentation.
"wow" on that UP100 syphon.
Good luck!

I got up at 4 am and tried for that one. Missed it by 5 bucks. My hangup was trying to do currency conversion in my head. I bid what I thought was my max bid with 15 seconds left and someone popped me by $5. I scrambled to convert and enter and lost it.
I've literally been mourning the loss of that auction since it ended.
I know who won it, and it wasn't you. I'll keep a watch out for you Scott... It will come, patience my friend.

It will come Scott. It’ll pop up in eBay soon enough. Interesting that the M19s suddenly popped up more than the M38s these past few weeks tho... patience my friend

I have to say I am in love with your radio build. Those hinges on the inside are sexyyyyyy. Killer work man, definitely bookmarked this one.
Why.. well, thank you sir. It’s sturdy ..

Value is all about expectations. With a few mods, it would be OK for PO. The canisters for one, like @lovemonkey mentioned. Vitamin or shampoo bottle would do.

For now, i'm comfortable with picload. I'll see what they'll offer...

Another update to the armor:
First, the skull mark on the chest. Wasn't happy how its right eye (left on viewer's point of view) is higher than the left. Eye adjustment it is.
The mystery line is now further extended to the center. Might add a little less pronounced dirt onto these lines...
Another revision to the right shoulder bell, something i previously wasn't quite happy about. From what i make, you can almost see another skull mark there.
The mystery tape & some light weathering...Thank you all, constructive criticisms welcomed. Updates to the backpack coming soon. Salute troopers!

Hey man,
A real hengstler counter & real M38 just got sold 350€. And this was last week.
Are you part of the "Star Wars Blaster Build Group" fb group? Sometimes people post vintage items for sale there. Check it out.

Weathering is a matter of taste. @pandatrooper provided the "how" guide that a lot of us sandies follow. Doesn't mean you have to always follow that; and as to how much... the generally accepted notion here is: "less is more". I say: Keep on doing what you're doing. Looks good!

Awesome welding! You did a good job there. Envy you too...i will never be able to bring in a deactivated sterling to this part of the world.

Hi Warren, did you try to upload pics to the forum? Because it just won’t allow you. All the pics you see here are picture links from online storage sites such as picload.org please check them out. Hope this helps

Finally John... grats !
Another SWAT ! -
You did very well on these paint drips. I just noticed this thread. And will be following with great interest ! Go on Greg, you have our support!

I feel all of you. I use an insole inside my boots. The center of gravity for me somehow pin down along the insoles, hurting my legs too.
My garrison's troops would be in shifts tho. We make sure no one troops more than an hour. In doing marches, i will always tell whoever usually is in front most (usually kylo ren) to SLOW DOWN.
-
Great application. Should be few easy fixes. Hang in there !

First troop of the year! The fine folks of Rhode Island Comic Con decided to branch out to Albany and held the first annual Empire State Comic Con April 6-8th. I was able to meet Mike Quinn aka Nien Nunb. Bill Diamond and Mark Dodson where both at the con with a bunch of their famous puppets but most importantly, Audrey and Salacious Crumb!
Who knew Jabba let Salacious Crumb take vacation?
Audrey got a little hungry so we tossed in one of those pesky Jawas!
Still hungry? Had to toss in my bucket
So awesome! I made the front of the Sunday paper!
Super awesome... be sure to have it framed

Grats again Scott ! Well done !

The one on the right looks closer John. You don’t like shampoo bottles ? Lol
m4vrick's real Sonix Radio 75
in Field Backpack
Posted
Hi guys, my BBB arrived safe and sound. I did ask the seller how he got hold of this. He said he got it from a memorabilia military auction, and there wasn't much competition as this was not much of a "military" item.
I will look to restore its radio function as it was however non working. But i will leave the face (rust and all) as is. Battle worn
For now, I shall not show what's inside of it as ...well, let's not spoil your appetite.
And i think i will mount the Sonix on my backpack. Just have to figure out a way to get this firmly placed there without damaging its faux leather. No, i will not paint the radar piece black. I think i'll just cover it with a very thin black decal per my SWAT requirement.
With mine, there's been 4 this past years. I think it's re-surfacing slowly. Don't give up hope !
Regards,
