I beleive its supposed to be somewhere around 18 inches (based on original sterling) but im not 100% sure.

Wow Joe these recent pics are great.. nice that people still share stuff like this .. not just for the new guys but also for the veterans who want more accuracy, pity there are still some who want to keep this stuff for themselves .

Total agreement here... pity its not allways true ( not here, but some that i wont mention )

Equal rights for bobbleheads and those who tripped over a blue paint pot Just joking people

I think its more constuctive critisism rather than complaining.... it is good to see so many FISD members in one place, even if its not "perfect". well done to those involved

Trooper wrangler... ive tried to walk around without one and yes i bumped into things/people so they are a must have for any TK .... good to have a camera too as has allready been said, after all you are where all the action is

Very nice indeed, cant wait to see one in person

You can never have enough firepower ----------

Have a great birthday TM

+1..... Joe's helmets really are sweet and very very well made.

Could it be that after the "strip down to cast" T*E replaced the original decals with replicas ??? it would explain the difference in some areas and not in others

I used galvanised chainlink fence support wire (the wire that connects to the posts and supports the fencing)

Well done, its looking excellent..

My wonderful mother in-law has got me an original kenner ESB AT-AT & ROTJ AT-ST, ive been trying to get one of each for a while but keep being outbid on evil-bay when they go for silly prices & when she told me the low price she paid i thuoght there must be loads missing but it turns out only the AT-AT's chin guns are missing so i need to find replacements... anyone know of anywhere that sells them or good replicas??. Thanks in advance.

Have you started on your stock yet ?? i did the same thing and made a working stock for my E11 so if you need any help i would be happy to assist First test fit of the stock Stock unfolded. How it looks now.

Daetrin is completely right, for free anti virus which covers allsorts of other things download AVG free edition i have used it for years and reccomend it to anyone (btw norton is a waste of time it lets allsorts through)

It is 100mm pvc pipe originally intended (i think) for main home waste, which has had a section cut out and then heated up and re-shaped to be smaller... the hinge is very basic... cut the castleated shapes into the ends then use a very small model drill bit to drill most of the way through then use a metal pin (i used a large paper clip) and just glue the pin in one end.

Thanks, i tried to get closer to the screen used rather than the idealized so went for a weathered/beaten about gold/silver paint on a plain band with a simple pin & hole lock to keep them closed.

I was bored the other day so i threw these together, hope they look ok? ---------

Finally done some weathering on this and took a couple of pics in te sunlight. I have been told the original MG34 is 48 inches long in total, this is three quaters of an inch longer than an original... not bad for mostly guesswork i think

Yea that lol ^^^^^^^^

I think it was gino himself who said he made duplicates of the originals then damaged them and sent them back to T*E who sold them i beleive to TE2 ...so infact TE2 has the "touched the insides of a screen used helmet" molds even if they were damaged they have the lineage.

I agree with Smitty on this last part.... From what i can figure out TE2 owns the original molds made and the gino are duplicates(recasts) made during the strange dealings between these people, so the gino ANH are not the "touched the inside of a screen used" as he claims (still) but are permitted recasts (would he still have permission now?).

we have a winner lol

lol noooooo its the neck of a plastic bottle (flavoured water if i remember right)
