  1. I recently received this project in to finish for a friend of mine but long story short it will now stay with me.

    The print is from 3dpropsNL and it had taken me about 4 weeks from start to finish. I did a heap of research on the real items like the MG-15, single point scope, Tabby Type F & the No.32 scope, to make sure the finish was authentic. I found a heap of great info on the forums here so thank you to all the people that have posted pics of the real parts. I have added a number of pieces to add to the realism without taking away the Star Wars feel such as a ton of small screws & the red lenses to the scopes. 

    This was a labour of love and I really enjoyed the build. I now have an E-11, DLT-19 & RT-97c. Next on the list is a T-21 but I have to acquire that first. Let me know what you think.

    I have trooped with this last night as well. Awkward but was worth it, got some great comments and really enjoyed the look

  2. So here is what I do. I made up this nifty little strap them holds the angle and the height of the pouch from my shoulder.  I have a block of wood in each for shape and the right one has a magnet inset into the wood at the bottom

    The loop at the top goes through my shoulder bell strap as it clicks through to the armour.

    Then the magnet that is at the bottom of the pouch attaches to the magent on my chest armour

    Hope it helps you

  3. I just completed this 3D print that I got off a fellow trooper in the garrison. The print was very thin and very rough so a lot of sanding and re enforcing was required before they were sturdy enough to troop in. Might add a little darker wash in a few spots but I am happy with the final product and should look great on the next troop!  More stuff to hang off an already weighted down trooper.

    Let me know what you think fellow Sandie's

  4. I have attached mine with Zip ties like alot of others have. I found though that while trooping they shifted apart (up & down) so to fix the problem I made an internal frame to support the top tray so I am still able to split them apart should something break and have to be replaced. 

    Because I built my own pack, I was able to reuse some of the parts left over from the build. My seed trays came as little green houses so the clear tops were left over. I used these to make the internal frame and they work well after a little bit of cutting
