6170 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Looks pretty sweet bro. You still need a bucket off picture ;o) Only thing that I can see is that for deployment you have to lose the shoulder TK ID decal. I know the UK Garrison requires these but for deployment you may have to take it off. I would also weather the shoes a bit more but thats pretty much all I can spot Good luck tho you look great!

iconoclasta_88 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Great TD bro! And yes, all I can see needed for deployment is the name tag on the shoulder. Other than that, looks like you are done! Congrats. Saludos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Excellent man! Yes... xavier is right, if you can "remove" the decal on the shoulder bell — PM sent — then I don't see anything else lacking / needed! Anyone else spot anything else? Great job trooper!!!! (and thanks for the pic) haha Oh, and in the meantime you've got 501st status here now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHenry Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Appears to have the large radar dish instead of the smaller one??? Sling on Muffler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Okay, I caught something else that has kept others from being deployed in the past so I'm going to call you on it as well... You need the "big knob" on the radio on your pack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordonator Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Looks mightily good to me. Just need to "remove" the TK ID on the bell and fix on a radio dial and we can go look for those droids we are looking for. Cheers! Btw, not a deployment requirement but does Sandie has the small black vertical stripe on the ear piece like TK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aideon Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I'm curious about how the UK Garrison requires troopers to have their TK/TD ID on their armor? Also, Gordon: http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i67/td252/Reference/scan0004tk0-kopi.jpg Looks to me like they have a small black stripe on the one closest to the back. That's just me, though.

FIVE Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Yes, they / we have 1 stripe on our ear... at least the "move along" did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Great job Brad! Your armor and your pack looks awesome! Congrats! If you need a large knob for the radio, check out Dana's resin one in the For Sale section. I put it on my radio. It's perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir david Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 nice one brad!!!! told ya there shouldn't be a problem with deployment(just a couple of small tweaks) looking at your armour last month at the nsc event,i thought it was a nicely built,sturdy,and sweet looking costume.....and the t-21 looks awesome!!!! looking foreward to your deployment and our next troop mate(i'll do td next time buddy! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bountyone Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Looking good Brad, like the others said about the knobs. Paint em black and your good to go mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 If you want a quick option for a know while you wait for dana's here is a trick I used to make a pretty cool one. Go to any hardware store and get the little plastic things that you put chair legs on....it's abou 2" wide and angles inward....drill a holethrough the center and drop a screw I'm the hole...fill the center with bondo and let it dry...then sand down the bondo area so it's flat with the top of the floor protector. Cut a piece of 3/4 PVC pipe at approx 1/2 tall...fill with bondo and sand. Now take a 1/16 drill bit and do the holes in a clock pattern around the lower part. Do a 1/8 drill bit for the top set if holes. Then use a razor blade on the lower level angled part and cut tiny slits right after one another the whole way around. Paint black and drill a hole in you radio where you want to insert the screw....it's not perfect but much better than anything else out there aside from dana's. I'll pos a pic of my firs attempt one I did this morning when I get home...whole process 10 mins of work time max and about 1.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smally Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Great idea Rick! If had had the time and patience I would try something like that. Think I'll just wait for my resin knob from Voodoo - I'm all for the easier options! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
