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!

That sure is a beauty! Like a TD the first 5 minutes after he gets off the shuttle.

Looks great! Get your EIB application in the second you get your TK number

Nice!! Good luck with the build!

When I attached my TD end caps to my pipe I had them for a few minutes in boiling water, and then (with dish gloves on) pushed them onto the pipe end. Worked like a charm and now they are pretty much impossible to remove without a LOT of force. But I'd be careful doing this to any other part of the armour.

I think it looks great and wouldn't worry about it

It looks to me like you're running your desktops with quite a low resolution. Try increasing it if possible. It should stop the wrapping of the navigation bar.

Looks good!

Looks good! I just weathered my SDS blaster some last weekend as well, but I might add some more with your pictures in mind. How did you attach the cocking handle?

None of all belts I've seen for sale here on the boards have snaps pre-installed.

NICE!!

I built my kit over about 3 months from delivery to 501st clearance with no new mods for EIB after I was cleared as those were already in place. But I had my helmet pre-assembled by TM and the blaster bought finished before the suit arrived. Still I don't think it took that long. I had never even seen a real suit before mine, so I learned as I built it. But I had read up a lot from the forums here for a couple of months before I got the plastic. It helped a lot!

I'm on 100Mbit fiber downloading from the dropbox-mirror you put up, and I'm fluctuating between as low (hah!) as ~400KBps and up to about 1 MBps. So this will be something like a 10 minute download for me. Thanks for sharing!

Who wouldn't take their time and enjoy a beauty like that kit!

You're still far faster than I was. But then again, I had never built nor even seen a suit in real life before I started mine.

Looking good Rolf!

HAHAHA That would be hilarious if it wasn't impossible! Anyways, awesome collection!

Wow! Looks really great I'm looking forward to seeing this take shape!

I regularly take my tkboots in the morning to work, and sometimes to the bar. You want that "natural" weathering, don't you?

That sure is a lot of TM goodness! I'm sure I'll do another suit within a year or so. It's so fun.

That would be awesome! Rolf, are you reading this?

Would love that! I have never been to the UK, so that would be a good excuse!

I don't know of more than 3 in Nordic Garrison sporting TM (that is, then Rolf gets his new kit), but sometime I think NG and UKG should have a little get together.

Amazing work! Like mentioned before, the weathering is fantastic!

Thanks! Here, use this one:
