  1. I'd do some sums based on recouping your costs over a set time/number of pulls (very low in this case as the suit was 'found' not bought at auction) and aim for that.

     

    It is accurate, but nothing a sealing iron couldn't put into a cheaper accurate helmet.(tube kink etc)

     

    It is very, very pretty though :)

     

    Agree with you 100% i do. :D

    The real win scenario would be if they decide to sell these kits with an equally well made armour at relatively cheap prices so we could improve our troopers through out the legion imho.

  2. So some days ago i stumbled across this epic uniform... Mechanical crewman, basicly the electrician/janitor/garbage man of the imperial personel. I fell in love and have since been trying to get a hold on a good jumpsuit. And here comes my question! Can anyone PLEASE help me find one or point me in the right direction?

     

    /best regards Varg.

  3. Rob, Terell, Paul and Stefan: Love you all guys, thanks a lot for all the warm congratz! Feels good. If i forgot someone here, man thanks again! :)

    This made my day, staying home with a fever and a cold with my two daughters, who also have fever and a cold, well... it made my day! :D

     

    Just a question to whom it may concern: There is no chance of getting the new action photo supplied in this thread instead of the one i had in EIB? :/

  4. Mathias: Troopers helping troopers! You are living the motto! Now let us live the "set for fun"-slogan in a near future fellow Centurion!

     

    Mason: Thanks! It feels extremly nice to have earned this badge! :)

    But again, could not have reached this goal without you guys at FISD! Thanks to you all i am living my childhood dream.

    Now the only thing missing is a real Imperial Star Destroyer orbiting Earth, sending down shuttles with recruting officers :D:icon_bow::dancing-trooper:

     

    And so the waiting for THAT begins... :D

    :popcorn:

  5. Thanks alot for the kind words :)

    Yeah, TM is the best imho.

    And...

     

    Here's me patroling the streets of Borås:

    Stopping people in their cars requesting their drivers license and pledge to the empire before giving them the "move along" routine, occationally blasting some of them when suspecting they are rebels. :D (We all know the drill.)

  6. Looks real nice Varg. Are all the details on the helmet hand painted? If so they look fantastic. I wish my hand was that steady. Well done mate and good luck.

     

    Thanks mate! :)

    Yepp, handpainted by Paul :P

    Althou i have a steady hand, have been building warhammer 40k armies since i was 13 :D but i am not taking credits for pauls great work! :)

     

    Mathias: will take pictures of all the sexy details for your viewing pleasure off course! But am i missing any that is required for my centurion badge?

  7. Also, action photo:

    It is cleared of most of the background, if not all. I use it as my avatar here and at Nordic Garrison Forum :)

     

    I am sorry i didn't take a lot of new pictures, i will take new pictures of any detail that is requested here off course, but i just haven't had time to do it. Hope these pictures are good but if not as i said...

     

    cheers my good friends couldn't have done this without you all!
