( THIS IS THE ARMOUR MY BUDDY ,AND FIRST U.K SWAT TROOPER, "SMALLY" KINDLY GAVE TO ME! ) I HAVE USED ONE PIGMENT ONLY HERE HERE GUYS !!!! (as per 76' ) , I CHOSE TO GO WITH BURNT UMBER ! (as the jundland wastes sand seemed to have a "reddish hue "to it ! ) , but if you want a "browner,less reddish shade,RAW UMBER would be ok! , I THEN WEATHERED THE ARMOUR USING A COMBINATION OF HARD,AND SOFT BRISTLED BRUSHES in the "SLAP IT ON IN A RUSH" style ! (as per 76'), AND A LITTLE SPONGE WORK !!!! ,- and that was after i had a very informative chat with my buddy ANTHONY FORREST! - to ask questions regarding the techniques used on set for weathering the armour back in 76' ! ..... THANX MATEY! ) .... i also took black and white pics to compare my weathering to the original tunisia off screen black and white pics from 76', where mollo and the prop guys were weathering the td's up and also using some great information on weathering from archive sources ! ...... Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us i have also replicated the "white belt line" on the ab where,after weathering in 76',during takes the belt must have slipped down on anthony to reveal the white section on the ab armour as per "move along" roadblock captain! PAULDRON.... Uploaded with ImageShack.us ARMOUR MODS..... Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us BLASTER..... my scratch-built T -21,complete with a genuine Lewis gun stock mounted sling bracket and also ,genuine Lee Enfield slings too ! (THANX TO PANDATROOPER for the awesome T-21 templates, his inspiration for "dry brush" weathering, and his awesome tutorial (here on MEPD )that helped me to build this big, heavy baby!!! THANX TERRY! ) .... I will remove the "scope sight", and the curly wire will stay,as per 76' !!!! (scope sight will still be used for certain troop events) Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us GLOVES...... thanx to billy (BILLHAG) for the kind gift of the latex handplates without his help on this,i'd be stuck!!!!

trooper1 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Very nice my friend. One question I have right off. Where are the rivets, or where does the shoulder strap under your armpit attach? Screen had the small leather patch on top with the flat side rivets. I dont see them and was just wondering. Cant wait to see more of this one progress. Best of luck, your looking good.

sir david Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 NOW, BACK TO THE BLASTER ..... we can clearly see the curly phone wire where the barrel meets the reciever as compared to the "scope sight" that most of us use ,and now take as canon on our T-21'S ! .... an enormous thanx to my UKG/FISD/MEPD buddy BILLHAG for pointing that out to me! and sending me other links to T-21 details to aid my build!!! Uploaded with ImageShack.us the "scope sight " will be removed for final pics,but i will use it for trooping ,as it may be sturdier than the wire! ,but then again i have a choice of the 2 now!
