Very nice Karin!

Then you could try that

I believe the textile paint i mentioned is something like this, I recognize the bottle, -----

You could try the kind of slightly thick paint you paint motives on clothes, like t-shirts with. I've used that on leather gloves and it holds up nicely being slightly "rubbery", but does crack over time. Shouldn't cost much to give it a try. Instructions for my paint say the motive should be "hardened" by ironing on it with some towel or something in between, but I don't think that's necessary, especially since you want it to crack a bit.

"Measure twice, put on once" is the key!

Nice work!

Looks like the code cylinders an imperial disk on the cap are very good. Great job!

Hell, you made me measure mine! It was 130 mm... Jim, go with what Troopermaster says

I believe someone said 5-7 inches wide is good. I also think mine is somewhere around that wide. It all depends on how deep your end caps go, and how much grey you want to show between the control panel and the end caps.

I should shut up now.

Ah. I never looked that closely before Edit: Now that I look at pictures of my own TM armour I see that only the right one has a swoop

Hah! Now I know BTW, is it just me or is the swoop missing (being straight instead) on the shoulder bell on the trooper on the right? I'm at work so I won't try to find references to compare with, and I don't remember how much swoop it should be.

That's a bit funny seeing how the TK behind him has his handplates on correctly

Great picture Paul, thanks a lot!

Please don't! BTW, Rolf. I've wondered about the ab plate-to-chest strapping for a while, I haven't seen anyone post close up pictures of it. Since the pieces overlap each other. It looks like one part of the bracket is far longer than the other. Could you put up a close up picture?

Looks awesome mate! Appears you've been hit by the snow just as bad us up here. -11C right now. I miss the warmth and comfort of the death star.

There was actually a guy here who programmed a small tool to download and sort the list of available numbers and save it as a .txt I have it on my hard drive, but I can't find the original post.

Wow!

That was quick! Just clamp it down and run some glue in between the pieces. It's super easy.

Time for a date with the drill and some putty. Hope you still have some spare paint in those cans

Looks great. Congratulations! And I'll see you this weekend

Looking good Rick! But you know the sniper knee plate sits perfectly good with some E6000. No rivets needed.

Not fair! Here it's like -3 Celcius Your build looks like it's going real quick, and it looks great.

I need to start saving for one myself

I would say, that unless you know for sure that you've stopped growing it would be better to keep it until you are sure you're not going to get any taller. It's still two more years until you can join the legion anyway. It's a great looking paint job you've done btw!
