sir david Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 good luck mike! youll be achieving your goal very soon,as all the really hard work is done,so a few "tweaks and minor adjustments",and youll be rocking bro! Quote
spoox Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Don't give up! your suit looks AMAZING!! just slowly work on your back pack. Take it apart, and put the trays closer, put the stinger in the right spot, work on the radio plate and you be S.W.A.T. before you know it Quote
JK007 Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Dont give up mike just do it as you go along looking good and hope too see you SWAT soon. Quote
TD6187 Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Great Mike!! I saw from the truth! great armor! I'm happy for your future deployments in the SWAT!!!! Quote
TD7930 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 Thanks, guys! I am working on my backpack right now. And i hope to get a Trooper 1-pauldron and a woodman Faceplate soon! My problem at the moment is the money. AARGH! But i will fix these things... The goal is right in front of me..and i won´t give up. I also decided to replace the whole plastic frame with a metallic one and the big tube on the right is going to be an aluminium one too. Cheers and stay tuned! Mike Quote
DarthChridan Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 I know you got a really cool set...and i like your move along trooper very well So...move along Mike Hau rein Alter Cheers.... Quote
The Dirty Trooper Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Looking good. Is that one of the old radio face plates? I think you should upgrade to one of the new style ones. Quote
DirtyBoy Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Glad to see this thread was brought back up....let's get this going man....play the SWAT theme song while you work...it's super motivating Quote
TD7930 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 Hey guys.. just wanted to let you know, i didn´t give up. Just took my time and i am working on my Backpack-Upgrade right now. Some parts will be replaced by aluminum, the radio will be a new one and it will get a total update. I also got a beautiful full aluminium-blaster, a real scope and a hengstler counter. Pics follow. I think i have 3, 4 weeks to go. Cheers, Mike Quote

iconoclasta_88 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Great! Let us know if you need anything. Saludos Quote
FIVE Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 ..play the SWAT theme song while you work...it's super motivating Yes, it is... but — even though it's not as "on the nose" as the SWAT theme — I like to play the music from the "build montage" sequences from "The A-Team." You know, when they're locked in the storage room/warehouse/closet/sewer/etc. and have to build a tank out of spare treadmill parts so they can break out, guns a-blazin' while not kill any of the bad guys, and escape. Only thing is it's less than 5 minutes long... Keep it goin' man!!! Quote

TD7930 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Posted November 29, 2011 I am working on that right now. I finished my blaster first and the pack will follow. But i want to post the pictures, when it is done! I am on 40% progress now, still some things to fix for S.W.A.T. Cause I don´t wanna start from zero again.! But it becomes...most impressive! Quote
TD7930 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Posted November 29, 2011 allright.. for those of you who think i will never finish, what i´ve started Some pictures of my pack at the moment. The upper black section was finished today. The blue trays still need some work and the radio too.. But i am on the right way... thanks for watching... as you can see, everything was deassembled. I got a new metal frame, wich makes the whole pack much more stable. Everything was painted, the radio got a wood-corpus, to be more stable too. a bit dusty from working. This is NOT the weathering Next steps tomorrow! Good fight, good night! Mike Quote
TD7930 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Posted December 4, 2011 Hello again.. it´s me coming out of my cellar. Amost being high of all the spraycan-smell... but i like iiiit he he.. As you can see, i am almost done with my S.W.A.T Backpack. Everything was placed accuratly, the radio was totally replaced , got a new exhaust, the rivet on the mushroom is now there, the mortar tube is replaced by an aluminum-one, the radar-dish has the black edges and the bee-stinger has a new position. All that´s missing right now is: fill and painting the holes, add the black tape on the blue tray and do my strapping. I just ordered the right Pauldron and then (i hope) will not be much, what keeps me away from my big target. I weathered the pack very carefully, to be close to the originals. So what do you guys think? Thanks for watching..! Mike Quote
Rolf Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Thats one nice looking back pack bro. Looks perfect! (maybe cut the bee stinger a little shorter) Quote
TK_Han Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Yo estoy enamorado de todo su equipo... armadura, mochila y casco... Felicidades. I'm in love with his team ... armor, backpack and helmet ... Congratulations. Quote
DarthChridan Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Well Mike...what can I say....Freakin awesome, dude. But one thing, you're finished, right?!?...where's the black tapes on the lower seed tray? Or I have it wrong understand EDIT:...ok, who can read, have a clear advantage I've just seen the corners of the blue seed tray, which you still have to paint One question to the exhaust. I've seen you changed it- It must be replaced, if it looks like this?!?- I have also intend to reach the SWAT status in the near future....it would be important to know this info. Thanks. Quote
TD7930 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 Hi Dan! The first 2 questions you answered yourself , The exhausts i guess are both ok for S.W.A.T. Mine and yours. I didn´t hear anything, that mine was wrong. And yours looks good too. I changed some parts of my Pack, cause i ordered anoter for a friend of mine. He will denenetly NOT be in S.W.A.T and so i could take his radio-faceplate and his better looking exhaust and he got mine. I built up his pack and he was thankful. But he "only" wants to reach the 501st-standards. The pack i built for him will reach MEPD-standards without problems. And for this it is more than good. I will go down now and try to finish my pack at all. Pictures will be posted in the evening. Cheers, Mike Quote
The Dirty Trooper Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Fantastic. I can feel a T-shirt run coming. Quote
TD7930 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 next steps: added the tapes, finished the strapping and back-padding, cut the stinger (thanks Rolf) and removed some sand..added some smooth weathering. Alomst done! Thanks! Quote

EDIT: Well....the pack looks really really better and accuracy as before (before it looked already good). Most impressive Quote
