Oh mate i admire your courage and strenth to give your son so much love in this really difficult time of your lives bro , i have two boys Rocco age 4 and Leo age 3 and i am so lucky to have a loving and understanding wife who devotes so much time to us all and reading your story Rolf makes me really epriciate my family even more and not to take them for granted oh yes and Rolf if you ever come to the UK and want to troop with the UKG you are more than welcome to stay at my place , and bring your 1mm TM sandy with you and your son i am sure we would have a great time bro . TTYS Steve

Hi Rolf , firstly i hope you are doing ok seeing everything thats been happen to you lately mate, your gunna luv the TM 1mm Rolf nice and light all origanl strapping and it going to probaly be the first TM 1mm Sandy you dirty git:lol: and if it turns out like your other Sandys its going to look the Dogs do dahs:D cant wait for this build mate keep us posted talk soon .

Now Now Gents keep your lids on , i find searching for the info is a real buzz to do i was doing some today on the origanal ANH undersuites found a bit out in just one day so good living 15 miles from Elstree i think Paul has every right to keep it to his self if i had done all the research and then just told some body the awsenser wheres the exciteitment in that. oh well keep finding out new things great;)

Hi Gary , I have only trimmed 1 inch of the bottom of the shins mate thats it at the moment mate , and i would also have to trim out the backs of the knees on the bottom of the thighs to be really walkable the back tops of the shins are fine dont need to make any opening there , i know for a fact them bloody shoulder pads have a usefull purpuse

Hi Rich, Yes mate as you said the chest flex is great with the upper body movements just as it should be , and Peter (Stukatrooper) is so right in saying that the 1mm fits better than the 2mm capped abs , dont get me wrong i luv my 2mm TM and i will always troop in it , but with the 1mm i am going to troop in it but on special events

Firstly Pete, thank you for giving me some great tips on the the 1mm and also Paul , i think your absolutly right the 1 mm dose fit us better like superman in his lycra with the flexabilty , when i test fitted it i could not help my self and give it a bit of Han flex chest it was great truley thought i was him cant wait till our 1mm TKs meet watch out reble scum Stukatrooper and SW1 are on a mission. :trooper:

Paul , your work is unbelivable i have fooled a few of my mates when they have come round and see it on the manaquin they are not big trooper fans , so when they said to me is it original , me being cheeky said ohh yes found it at elstree when i was doing some work there , and you should have seen there faces mate i let this go on for the evening and at the end of the night i told them the truth and they were still in shock by what you have created and produced over the years plus it has got them now looking at the iconic stormtrooper oh yes the boots they are my TK boots i need to weather them up and i added an extra half inch on the heel just to give me a little hight when iam trooping why i did not think about putting my weatherd loakes on totaly forgot next time , or if iam really nice to you mate i would gladley take your size 8 original boots for a price of course i see Petes (sukatrooper) 1 mm weatherd armour last week end when i trooped with him and man totaly awsome in the flesh so all being well we can troop at MEM in full glory of the origanal ANH Stormtrooper cant wait:D

vintage meets modernB)

OK i managed to do some test fitting of the TM weatherd 1 mm armour i did ask the manaquin if i could here are some test fit pics the only thing is the pics dont do the suit any justice or should i say the weathering dose not stand out in these pics , but when i have finished i will get some pro photos done to show this , so just a few test pics let me know what you think troopers;)

Many Thanks Steve, i would say very flexy more than the capped glossed TM i have put it this way Paul said to me you could sit down and have the chest bulging out like Han in the detention block , so i tried it and yes he was right just like Han but i did feel some armour bites so it was not that comfortable to sit for a great amout of time , but hay thats what it was like for them in the movie,top of chest cutting in to your neck ,biceps falling of the hooks, oh i luv it so if it was good enough for the origanal ANH troopers that will do for me ,plus i do need to do some allterations on the strapping to get it to fit a bit better, Oh Yes Steve when could you sort me one of your accuratte neck seals mate

Thanks Rich , they uesd to call me MR Bump at school , dont mean to taunt you mate but tough sh.t yes you will have revenge , so that just leaves one thing have to get together and battle it out
