hey all, I just wanted to give a heads up that the above mentioned website is taking offers for a take over. Mr. Aj Standish(owner) is retiring this november on his 70th BDay, so i figured i let everyone know before he stops selling anything. He makes/sells deactivated Sterlings for $449.00 as well as fully built E-11's but they cost way more.Link below http://yhst-56729669.../star-wars.html

Hahahahaha, Borgtroopers!

Just thought i'd spread a little brain damage for today,LOL.

It really is a shame as i too have had good dealings.The majority of complaints i've heard were that he takes too long to get the product out or email contact was iffy at best ,but never heard of him not sending anything at all??.I admit it took me a while to recieve the items i have, but i got them regardless.Maybe someone should try contacting him ???. If He's having issues with production or other, he should at least post an update on his website,(its got outdated info on the updates page).

Sci-fire has a weathering tutorial for that nice worn look . http://sci-fire.com/

Did the resin parts get scrubbed with anything like hot water and dish soap or some other type of degreaser before painting??.I usually do this before painting to remove any excess mold release, that might still be in the smaller areas.I had the same issues with Krylon fusion ,but only when there was signs of mold release agents on the surface.

"OMG, i was laughing so hard i fell outta me chair!" . The bones of many past historians are a rattlin' in their graves i'm sure,Lol

"Uuuh boy" , that just gave me a whole new level of brain damage...(getting a tylenol),lol.

Sure do mason, lol. http://tk861.com/indexframed2.html look on the left side menu and go to "trooper gear", Then Click on "Weapons" and the tutorial is on the upper right Marked as "NEW" MG42/34 KIT "Oh, and i feel yer pain ,with that injured thumb and all".I did similar damage when i was a teenager...and man it hurt

Hey, isn't that one of those Ruger 10/22 Dress up kits?".I have seen those used for Dlt-19 builds,mostly from the tutorial on the TK-861.com website,lol.

I started to mod a Hasbro,but i goofed up so bad that i switched to building a pvc type.However i used some of the small parts from the hasbro such as the front/rear sights and scope.I trimmed the scope from that speaker box then used a few pieces cut from a plastic for sale sign to make a new base and front face for it and a tube of bondo auto filler to build up the scopes body.I also used the rubber cup from one of the Nerf darts to make the small lens in the frontby cutting off the suction part using the base of it for the rim.Take a looky,lol

Hey all, I don't know if anyone has seen this,but kenthork over at Mepd.net posted this article from the PropBlog.com site...thought i'd pass it on in case noone here has seen it. ----------

Thats a good attempt for a homemade cheapy suit.At least i think so.That helmet is an old don post ,i'm pretty sure of it, considering the bug eyed rubies version,lol.

My brain hurts

2 DLT-19's, 2 DL-44's and 2 E-11's....I'm reminded of that Lay's tater chip commercial: "You can't just have one ",lol

I agree, the weight of the scope would easily tear the hard foam rubber if jolted,dropped or kept at a steep angle. Pipe build would be better for it i think.

As far as i'm aware,the cushman is the easiest to deal with when wiring electronics into it.The one i have ,i have had for 3 years now without issues.Though of course i never had lights/sounds added.I have no clue on how to wire up a sound/lights setup as i've no experience in that.

I dunno.....i myself could convert those shins into gaiter liners for the winter season myself,lol.

Come to think of it, i wonder if Hyperdyne used one of these??. The details are very soft on theirs as well from the looks of it.

Will these work??. I have the version 2 Mg-34 myself and added the T-grips from Blas-tech.com .The T-grips on the cushman DLT-19 are molded on, but the details are kinda soft on most of these replica kits.Not the best,but very super light weight and pretty good for a trooping prop. http://www.cushmanpaintball.com/ReplicaMg34DLT.html http://www.cushmanpaintball.com/PeplicaMg34V2.html

Well then admittance and acceptance is the first step to doing things better for myself and others,lol. so i shall start, " (prepping for virtual slaps upside my head)AHEM". "My name is tony and i am a recast assembler" (RABA)Recast armor builders anonymous: I got a spare helmet kit from a pal a while back and didnt know it was an MOT helm kit until "after" i built it. (grumble)

"Is it Real" as in well known and approved seller i do believe he means.lol. But i wont venture into that known discussion,lol.

hey pat, thanks,lol. I tell ya,this project has me thinking alot.One thing i do know...i love bondo.I made the grip following the bbc tutorials. A piece of oak with 3 layers of plastic sheet(old for sale sign)per side w/bondo sanded smooth over the seams,same as the selector switch and finger guards on the right side of the tube.the inner spring is made with a wire coat hanger that i twisted around a broom handle. Lol, i never thought i'd find this project enjoyable.I may make more afterwards should i be able to aquire more materials.(i got a ton of time on my hands,so to speak,lol). Come to think of it,if anyone here has any constructive criticism,advice,etc.good or bad,please feel free to comment.I take advice with the best of 'em and am looking to do it right.
