[anybody else been having trouble posting on MEPD.net?]

All i know is that Nol/the MEPD CO are about to make a complete new forum for us there.

And chance things, so it can cause some troubles here and there...

The 22 this month, should be a big working day on it...

And will be lock down most of the day, for the new forum to come.

So hang in there, i know the forum act strange around these days...

But soon there will be a better, and stronger forum there for us all.

(i can post there, but a few days ago i could not make smilys, even some could?

I´m no pro web designer, so i don´t know much about what cause it.

But i´m sure you can all post there again real soon, if not contact Nol.

He´s a member in here as well)

[New armor from the master.]

You guy´s are the greatest!!!

Thanks for the shoulder clap, this have been fun to put together.

But also a bit harder whit my now 9 month old son running around, so to speak .

I love him 100% and a little more, but assemble armor in no time days are over hahaha

So Mr. Speedy trooper is dead, i will still assemble suits and helmets... but more family slow style i guess from now on.

(next projects, have payed for both TK/TD Dan Laws suits, and order new TE2 helmets...

maybe i will go for a TM TK later in the year too, right now i only have my lovely TM TD here, and very proud of it/TM is the man)

 

I´m ready to take the suit out side for some killer shots today, but right now it snows again GGggrrrraaa not the best for my new put on weathering job

But i hope it will stop, and i will go down and clean the area from snow, so we can take some pro shots (my wife all ways takes them, and good at it)

 

Cheers mates

 

(love the new forum look Daetrin)

[New armor from the master.]

AAaaaallll right, the suit is done.

I was ready for the out door pictures here today, but it was too snowy in the weather.

I still hope to take the shots this week, even they say there are more snow on the way.

Here you can see the suit, not the best pic, but still there.

Cheers

 

[Whats in the box?]

A big congrats from here bro.

The TM armor is in the top class, as one of the best/most accurate suits so far made.

I can´t wait to see you start on him.

 

I just finish my TM sandtrooper, and will take some out door pictures hopefully tomorrow.

(hope to get a TM stormtrooper too, later in the year)

 

Cheers mate

[IMPORTANT! Forum Down Time Tomorrow]

Look and work sweet!!! Paul.

But where are all the stormtroopers, i guess there will come more logos all over of stormtroopers/FISD logo/text etc...

Move a long... move a long

[New armor from the master.]

I know that you said that you are looking for a mic headset. Instead of just looking for a headset, check into these two kits. I know that these kits are some of the best out there for the price and are known for clarity / Loadness and should work with the ROMFX card.

 

 

Here are the two links:

Looks great bro, thanks for the links.

I will check em out

[Congratulations Paul!]

Congrats Paul.

You have done a A+ job making this cool forum, for all us stormtrooper fans world wide.

And i´m sure the best to run it.

Keep the good work up bro.

Cheers

[New armor from the master.]

here we go let the magic begin.

 

WARNING pictures from now on will be censored if they become to dirty for FISD veiwing!

 

MMmuuhhaaa love to be dirty in here, and try to get some of you clean troops, to join the dirty Mos Eisley police dept .

(just a joke, i love the ANH tk too, and hope to deploy here this year too )

Cheers mate

[New armor from the master.]

Rolf, like all your stuff this is going to look superb!

 

So get to work man and finish it

 

Cheers

 

Jez

 

Hahahah you got it bro .

I´m working on it.

My plan is to give it all my powers tomorrow, and finish him up.

 

There are snow all over here, but i will move it, and take a few shots for you my friend.

 

Cheers mate

[New armor from the master.]

Here a small weathering update.

I still need a few parts, but will be done this week...

AAaaannddd hopefully taken full suit up pictures out side.

There are still tons of snow here, but i guess i will try to move it for the shots to be taken.

Cheers

 

I all ways mix my own woodland colors.

Here you see the 3 tones i use:

 

And here a look so far...

it might look real dirty, but once you are out side it will not/have it too light weathering, it will look too white out side.

I still go for the move accurate:

All most clean/not so dirty back pack, pauldron, helmet...

But body armor more dirty then the rest of the suit:

 

Troop on

[New armor from the master.]

Great detail work Rolf

 

 

Are you going to do any thing to your sandy backpack, like adding a back lit radio dial and MP3 with the radio chatter?

 

 

Like this:

</a>

 

Not at the moment, but i would like to one day.

Do you have a link to a sound board, to be add in the radio, where to buy link etc...

 

I also still need a better mouth mic, to my rom-fx sound system here.

So if you got a nice head/mic holder link, there can be add to the rom-fx please share bro.

Cheers

[TK Boots are amazing!]

I have 3 pairs my self, the best choice out there 4 sure

[New armor from the master.]

Tom....seamless, like the well practiced magician you are

 

That's Nathan's (a fellow UKG member) old back pack and it just so happens to be sitting in my bedroom

at this very moment, being hidden from another UKG members girlfriend 'coz she doesn't know that

he bought it ....the games we play

 

I can't see Rolf going with these cheeky but cool mods because they're not really 'cannon' and you know

how much he strives to be 100% authentic . I maybe wrong though.....

 

 

Rolf

Looking bloody darn sexy there mate, loving how this is coming together.

Quick question, how did you sort the 'Boy scout' frame out?, did you cut and bend it?

or did you just leave it as is?

 

 

PS

Just LOVE the pictures of Little 'Sly'......I see he gets all he's good looks from his mum

 

Hahaha great reply as all ways old friend

Thanks for your shoulder clap, i´m happy you like the trooper gear so far.

I´m in progress of weathering the suit now, i have done the legs and shins.

I hope to be done whit it today, then we only need all the snow to move away from here.

 

Le wife, also a 501st member:

Troop on

[New armor from the master.]

Thank you Rolf the simple ideas are always the best ideas with outstanding results!

 

You got it bro

[New armor from the master.]

WOW!! Rolf that's quite a collection....

 

I would love to see your TK TM and your first TD TM with your new TD TM as side by side comparison.

 

 

My older TM suit is sold, so i can´t take any close ups of it.

I think i have some in my computer somewhere, from back then.

 

Many parts are upgraded, helmet, belly, biceps, legs etc.

The ABS TM version is sure among the best out there.

to the master from here.

 

Cheers

[New armor from the master.]

For us less steady with a paint brush you should show in a little (how To tutorial) The hand painting of the tube stripes.I for one would like to know how you achieve the spacings and curves.

 

You got it bro.

I might assemble a TE2 helmet soon, i will try to add a few pictures there of it.

 

1.Normal i just take humbrol paint tape, on each side.

Then i just draw the bows whit a pencil.

 

2. To make the bows the same, i cut a bow out of thick paper, and just move it the same mm each time down the tube.

 

3. On my last helmets, i have made a paper model i glue a paper stripe left and right, and glue the bows on.

Then i just hold the model over the tube, and add the bows on whit the pencil.

Then add the tape up and down, i paint the bows over 3 times.

1 very thin bow, and let it dry a little.

2 make it thicker, and let it dry.

3 finish them up nice, and in the right thickness, and its done.

 

Cheers

[New armor from the master.]

Here is a bad picture of my upgrade back pack.

(add new vintage boyscout frame/TM tube, canister, end caps...

Here you see a picture, taken out of one of my windows to my back yard.

The red arrow shows my Mos Eisley corner, where i normal take the sandy shots.

I hope the snow will be gone soon, so i can take the out door pictures.

Sadly they say i will snow another week here...

(i only need to add the weathering now, then i´m ready)

 

 

Here just another picture taken out of my window, front side...

I´m glad i was not going to work this morning, people was going nuts in anger trying to get there cars out running to work.

 

Cheers
