  1. Basing it on the roadblock v2 Sergeant (shouldn't have the hip pouches).  Initial goal is all SWAT details minus the specific weathering and pouch/gun combo.  I like personalizing my weathering while adhering closely to the screen look.  Also, I have several guns I want to swap out on troops. :)  But I do plan on opening a SWAT thread once I have PO status.

  2. Hey.  No, that's too small.  Take your black paint all the way to the  bottom of the downward curve.  You can even bleed on to it just a bit.  You want to make them big enough to be able to comfortably fit the stripes.  If you click on my AP build link below, mine are a bit too small as well.  I since have redone them larger.

  3. Hi Alison! I'm also a member of the GGG. Glad to hear you're interested. It's a great, friendly group and there are plenty of people who will help out.

     

    The differences between ANH ams ESB are subtle (hand plates, holster, frown color). You can build any of the kits to meet various specs. The RS suit is actually based on an original ANH one.

  4. I mounted mine behind the left pectoral of the chest plate.  I made a u-shaped piece of ABS to support it.  Clip the amp over the support, industrial velcro the back to the support and then industrial velcro the support feet to the chest plate.

     

    Below is a shot of my Snowie chest plate with the support.  On my TK the support is rotated 90 degrees so the volume knob is on top.  Also, in the shot below I have the RomFX speaker attached.  But it gives you an idea of what the support looks like.

  5. Haha, well all troopers really are Stormtroopers variants.  The original Snowtrooper figure was labeled Imperial Stormtrooper (Hoth Battle Gear) figure.  However, the Biker Scout was explicitly labeled as such and not Stormtrooper (Endor Scout Gear).  But one could assume "Sandtroopers" were probably clean prior to deployment.  But where's the fun in that? :P

     

    I do like the look of the AP kit even if it lacks the finer details in the TM and RS kits.  It's biggest limitation for me is the size.  At 6 feet and 180 pounds I had to really stretch the limits of the fit.  Even now I find myself every so slightly hunching down when wearing it.  I also had to shim the sides.  While I don't rock 6-pack abs, I am of proportionate size in the gut.  

     

    The TM fits me like a glove and is much more comfortable all around.  I was amazed at how much more room I have to stretch and move.  So, yes, I am planning to replace my AP TK with a TM.  In fact I've already contacted Paul about timing.  You can look for an AP with Centurion potential up for sale soon. :)

  6. Have a build thread over on MEPD.  But I thought I'd post over here as well for some more eyeballs.  Will be a fairly lightweight thread.  I'm already at the full test fit.  Cheers!

     

    A few tweaks to make here an there but nothing critically out of alignment.  What do you all think?

     

    Weathering supplies are on the way and will commence this weekend!
