  1. There's a few photos I missed out . And looking at my armour to take these photos proved that I needed a bit of paint touching up ! First the six rivets down the left side of the body . As you can see...plenty worn away paint , so after a little touch up .... Next was the knee rivets, again they needed new paint . And the insides also And finally a photo of the snap under the right arm . I think that's my photos done...sorry for the delays guys ! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  2. How am I doing guys ? Anything else I need to do ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  3. Next those gnashers . I've scraped off the edge paint , and touched it up . What do you think ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. That pesky chip gmrhodes noticed , and to be honest it's always bugged me . So a tiny dab of white filler and hay presto . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. That TD issue . I've re drilled the holes and re positioned the ally brackets . I've filled the old holes with silver two part epoxy . When sat in the " on the belt" position the old holes are invisible . The photos above were taken outside in strong sunlight . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. Next is the TD . I've taken it to pieces and painted the screw heads satin black enamel . Tomorrow I'll attack the alloy brackets . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. Next that dMn butt plate . My thigh suspenders have two poppers , Ive dropped them to the second popper . This lowers the thighs a tad , and gives more clearance . When trooping I always use the lower popper , but I thought for the photos I'd use the higher one ...doh . The other problem was that the elastic holding the butt to the backplate had lost its elasticity due to age and fatigue . Replacing the elastic holds everything in a better position . Sorry about the mirror photos , I was home alone . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. Next the drop boxes . Schoolboy error here , as I'd let the elastic loop holding them onto the belt slip inside the popper attaching the belt to the stomach . Taking the belt off and putting the elastic loop in the correct place brought the boxes in line with the edge of the belt . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  9. Ok, on to the upgrade list . First those darn teeth .... A craft nice slice and a screwdriver tip brought the edge paint off better than I could wish for . A little touch up and hopefully it's ok . I'll post a final pic when the paint is dry . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  10. Here's the photo to prove I have no return edges . Hopefully this completes the required photo list Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  11. Thanks guys . The dressing issues I'll look at tonite , I'll lengthen the straps that hold up my thighs a little bit , and tighten up the elastic loops holding my butt plate up . Hopefully this will help the alignment . I'll do it and post a photo . The biceps aren't attached to the shoulder bell, so the uneven biceps in one of the shots was a dressing issue that I am aware of and will address . The teeth I'll sort also , no big deal . Photos when done . The TD is an issue . Of course I can paint my screws better, and move the brackets out a bit ...but if I drill the lower hole to be nearer the end of the strap, I'm left with a vacant un-screen accurate empty hole . My brackets are first issue RS from years ago ( as is the whole suit) and I know they are using screen accurate alloy brackets these days . I may have to shoot over there and buy the later brackets .

  12. I've missed photos to show I've got no returns on my arms . I'll sort it next .
  13. Forgot the internal strapping photo . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  14. A few I forgot to add. I think that covers it ..phew ! Let me know if I've missed anything .cheers ! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  15. Helmet . In the photos of me wearing it, the brow rubber had dropped a bit making the brow look lower than it actually is . Sorry. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  16. Blaster. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  17. Tk I.d. 42057 Rob Taylor . United Kingdom garrison . Height 5ft10 ins weight 78 kilos . Armour RS props Helmet RS props Blaster RS props Boots I.B. Aplication for E.I.B.
  18. The mandalorien tk suit is estimated to go for eight to ten grand ... unbelievable . RS props will sell you a brand new ,exactly the same , for one and a half grand allin , built to fit you . The guy selling it has apparently already ordered a replacement from RS ...lol... good on him if he gets that for it ! Can't blame a guy for trying .
  19. This armour , which is a bad recast of modified fx armour , is better suited to r.o.t.j. Armour , as that's what it is very loosely based on .
  20. This book is an absolute Must Buy for anyone even vaguely interested in stormtroopers. I can't reccomend it highly enough .
