Hi Karin ,you go girl i just know your going to nail this

The Original Siman Belt defently has like a silky inner skin ,which i was very lucky to see And Here is Me and my old mate Mr Haggis givin it large in the Green Lids , a day long rememberd Sorry for the hijack mate

Just a tad Popular Frank , but rest assured he will respond matey

Hi David and welcome to the FISD , Lovley looking TM there , Are you thinking of trooping this bad boy and joining the UKG ? . Agree with the biseps being made narrow , women a , I would really wait untill you get your boots before you start trimming anything , once you have them, then kit up again with the boots on then you can see if and how much you need to trimm off the bottom of the shins .Because looking at your thighs i dont think your going to get them up much higher they look rather snugg were they are at the mo , and dont worrie about the sniper plate going up under the left thigh thats quite screen accruate you know

Hi Frank , Yes Paul is still making these awsome Hero helmets ,just be patiant mate Paul will respond as you can imagain he is Busy as hell

Thank's mate i need to sorce a decent camara , hopefully next week need to be taking pic's of the TM Luke suit aswell , are you going to be painting this bad boy mate ?

OMG Amarndo that's one nice camara you have there really pic's out the detail cant wait to see this come together

Yes and i bet they will be charging a £1000 for this Hero replica which IMHO is sky high considring the RS replica helmet would be a 1/4 of that price ,and i really hope Gino and EFX dont take away any of the fine detail like with the dimple in the tear traps because it look's like that to me experirance that with some of my Gino lid's .. I commend TM with his Hero helmet's the best looking Hero you can get and at a taffric price

:td: :td: :td: :td: sorry lost count of how many AWSOME Sandy's you have built now mate

Yes Frank ,i have only trooped my RS PVC twice at the moment and i have had no failer's , but i will let you know once its really been Hardcore trooped , Now if you were putting the 1.5mm PVC with bracket system , up against the 2mm AC gloss abs with bracket system then the PVC would be more durable what with the 2mm abs being more riged ,this is why my current 2mm AC abs suit that i have trooped in now for 2-3 year's has the practical popper system ,with NO brackets and screw's on the return edge's .because if it did without a dought that would be more prone to cracks and split's . So i do feel the PVC is a great trooping suit aswell as the 1.5mm ABS both fitted with the Original bracket system both do have the flex there but like you say you dont plan on doing any cartwheel's . But as i say if you were to get a split just use your trusty friend MR GAFFA TAPE that's what they did on screen or reinforce as Paul has done

Yes Paul is quite right 1.5mm PVC is more riged than 1.5mm ABS , but if you are going to hardcore troop this RS or any other type's of armour with bracket's systme its going to split or crack at some point , Now this where you need to get yourself some vintage white gaffa tape for that really original look and purpuse

Hi Frank i have and built the RS pvc suit ,and it has the original bracket system and i tell you what i have trown this thing around with no failer's (splits and crack's)the PVC is more durable than the ABS,so i would not bother with adding any more PVC

Does not look like you have made a mess of it Wayne look's stunning to me , iam with Mathias a little more trimming of the right ear ,and IMHO i think it look's much better when thers a few gap's between the ear's and the helmet,it make's it look more authentic

@ Joey

I know what Wayne is talking about Joey , i know when i put mine together dont over tighten the ear's because they do tend to sink in to the helmet , try and find a happy medium maybe try and trimm a few mm off around the tops of the ear's .below is how i have mine at the mo .

WOW Joey i would not worrie about the gap's with the right ear it look's more authentic like the originals just dont over trimm like i did on the Left ear ,but i can see you have that spot on , Rob has kindley sent me another left ear which i have now trimmed to how it should be and is now on the bad boy .

You mean like this Tony ,my Replica Luke helmet that Paul has just made

Very Very Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Joey , you do have those eye's spot on

Congrates from here mate , well done on the Holster front Adrian , i Just thought you had a top replica screen used suit and it to be let down by the holster

IMPRESIVE MOST .............. nice photo's there Adrian and a super suit i take it this is the PVC version ,the only nag i have is your holster i dont know how this would effect you for CS , but imho it needs to be not so wide and made of a thicker leather

The old man get's it Now the TM Junior's first little sweetheart she would not leave him alone Bless she just know's great armour when she see's it .

Some more antic's from the last couple of troop's they did .

Hi Stefan ,the pp is as flexible as 1.5mm abs and is as flexible as my 1.5mm PVC lid , its hard to decribe its just feels more solid , about painting the lid , i remember when painting my PP Gino v3 i scored it up with medium sandpaper then washed it with soap and water let dry for 24 hrs and then i used Krylon Gloss white spray paint 3 coats if i remember , then let dry for a further 24 hrs then with me finger nail chiped away in certain area's and weatherd it up slightly

flawless as ever mate

@ Rich mate the suit arrived today from Paul and iam still in ore of it ,he has done a remarkable replica and that's why we all deep down know he is the best in this hobby thank you Paul ,so on my lunch break today i tryed all the suit on and everything fits perfect even the chest overlaping the abb buttons the only adustment i have to do is trim 1 inch of the bottom's of the shins so i can walk a bit better and thats it ,hopfully get that done over the weekend then for some pose photo's ohh yes and just got to attach grabbling hook box to the belt . And Boy the Luke Hero helmet is unbelivable . @ Paul copy that on the boots mate thank you as always
