trooper1 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 It may seem like a lot Roger, but really not too bad! You got this. Mostly just weathering and some adjustments. The small pouch is pretty readily available and cheap. Keep the faith Quote
spOOL68 Posted March 17, 2017 Author Posted March 17, 2017 I got this don't worry Already started the changes. Thanks for all the encouragement guys! I won't let you down! Quote
Felice Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Hi Roger. Here are my answers:-) to 1: yes. your trooper is the Alley/ Docking Bay Captain V1 and this one had two small spanish pouches on the hips to 2: yes, your chest is a smaller one but for me you don't have to Change it. It is ok. to 3: I mean the end part of the Barrel. At the Moment I have some Troubles to upload a new Picture from photobucket to Show you what I mean....but I will do my best:-) Thank you dude! Cheers, Felix Quote
TD42115 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Roger, You got this brother, like Trooper 1 said, Its mainly weathering.. Easy changes, almost there. I think what Felix is trying to say the T21 barrel at the end might be too long ?? best wait for him to get pictures up... Chris Quote
spOOL68 Posted March 17, 2017 Author Posted March 17, 2017 Thx guys! I'll grab another pouch from Anthony and proceed with the changes. Thanks for the clarification Felice. I look forward to more info on the T21 you mentioned. Quote

Anthony is about a week out on pouches right now and still waiting for clarification on the T21 barrel from Felice. I am working on all the other stuff.

Airborne Trooper Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Surprised nobody said it but you have to remove the mesh behind the teeth. Your weathering looks great! Quote
spOOL68 Posted March 19, 2017 Author Posted March 19, 2017 Surprised nobody said it but you have to remove the mesh behind the teeth. Your weathering looks great! Strider did and it's still on my list Quote

spOOL68 Posted March 23, 2017 Author Posted March 23, 2017 @Felice I'll probably have some time this weekend to work on a few things so if you can let me know what you were thinking on the T21 barrel I'd like to get that started. You mentioned other reference you had to show me what you were talking about. Thanks! Quote

dutchy Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I'll make sure there will be enough blue milk in the cantina to celebrate it!! Quote
Felice Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Hi Roger, because of the T-21 and the end of the barrel I can't explain it better like with this picture in my review. The end of the barrel is thicker than the rest of the barrel, right? If you have the chance to sand it a little bit down like in the original movie shots and of the original lewis gun picture it would be great. If it is not possible it is ok:-) Alright dude? Thank you very much and enjoy your build AND your weekend!! Cheers, Felix Quote
