  1. Congratulations Pete, for your ID and your gorgeous TM! You deserve it
  2. Very nice job so far, Tim! Love that helmet. Ooh mate, I'm so happy for you
  3. Nice armor, Andy!!! You just need to keep those boots tucked inside the shins
  4. Ditto. Most of the times is almost useless... Definitely need to be fixed. And a nice reference library with all the important pictures + links to awesome armor builds like Stukatrooper's ones would be great.
  5. I noticed that you and other troopers lately painted their ab buttons with humbrol #14 french blue instead of the commonly used midnight blue. It really makes sense because it was also used for the helmet stripes, and matches more with the blue in reference pictures. What do you guys think? I maybe have to repaint mine....
  6. Awesome TM there, Fbj!! From the last three pics with both armors you can really see how the DL helmet is "squished" and tall... one of the reasons why I still don't like it... So Pete, your TM is finished too! I've been checking your flickr page for updates everyday!
  7. If I were you I'd sell it, get my money back, read this forum through and go for the real deal...
  8. TOTAL QUOTE. Well said Martin!
  9. Muchas gracias Damian! Your kind words really fill me with gratitude, pride and satisfaction!! I really put a lot of love and care in these builds, I'm happy to see that comes through!!! Thanks again, mate!! Pablo
  10. Well, me too... but it was awesome nontheless But it's not the same as looking at another person in white armor. The past sunday I took part in my first troop, and standing in front of my first live Sandtrooper was really something special!
  11. I hear you Chris, just saw the topic on MEPD and the repositioned faceplate definitely improved it, probably it's me but it looks "squished"... I'm very curious to see one of these helmets trimmed and assembled like a "standard" stunt one
  12. It's a very sharp helmet, but am I the only one to think that it's a bit "weird"? I see a very tall and squared cap, faceplate protruding a lot, "shrinked" at the frown and wide at the bottom. Maybe it's the assembly, just the pictures or the big ears, but somethings makes me dislike it.
  13. I'll go for an AP kit. Look at the wonderful job Graham did with his one:--------- He's 5'7"
  14. I've tried and they're too small to be loud as I wanted, while the speaker bundled with Blaster Core is VERY powerful!
  15. ---------- Keep watching this space or email Erv to know when the next batch will be available. It goes out fast, so you must be ready
  16. Hi Morten I'm not Scandinavian, but I can tell you that the best glue is E6000, it comes in clear and also white. Dries rubbery in 24 hours and the bond is super strong.
  17. Definitely nono, too bulky and big. These are cheap ones and pretty nice, and cheap again: --------
  18. Thanks, they've just updated the site and I didn't noticed that
  19. They're not a must, but they really minimize wrinkles on elbows and knees and keep the undersuit well tensioned.
  20. Search button is your friend Anyway, i'll go for this---------- It has no logo, it's cheap, it's comfortable and has a two-way zip, you just need to add thumbs and feet stirrups. I love mine
  21. Hi Andy! The TM is the best you can get IMHO, I'm in love with mine too! Seems that you have to "shrink" the biceps a bit. I did the same with mine, and trimmed until they don't open up the shoulder bell. I trimmed a lot of the shoulder bell lip too, look at my pics. As for the thighs strips, heat them up gently with a heatgun, keep them well pressed flat on the table and bend them to follow the thigh curve, I did it that way. Heat gently and evenly and work in small increments, then sand down and finish the strip. I don't have the armor here to take measurements, I will as soon as I get home this evening The trick is to watch again and again all the reference pictures and trim the armor to perfetcly fit YOUR body structure. Be sure to check Stukatrooper's Build, that's what I did http://www.flickr.com/photos/stukatrooper/...57603721766632/ If you have other questions just ask
