Old Trooper

Hello Folks, Need assistance. went to do my 2024 census and noted that I am shown as expired. I'm aware of why but due to nature ones employment and health issues over the past couple of years I've prioritise those over jumping on the boards. So how best do we rectify the current status reflection. Regards Old trooper 4746

HI yes I did start with Panda troopers template and went from there. How I Printed it out was a matter of trail and error (more error & very trying )Basically down loaded the template converted it to PDF file then if memory service me right through reducing print size until I got the correct size on a series of A4 sheets. This was achieved by using a tape measure & the measurements that a on template. Hint start with a section will easily fit on A4 By noting the measurement on the template for that section adjust Print size til the reduction equates to actual measurement on the paper (remember/ write down that reduction percentage) and apply to the rest of the template . You will have to have some over lap to line up. This will take time and patience. The cut and paste(sticky tape) sections together to give you the butt & breach component and same for the mag plate & rear sight base I hope this is some help. PS I've transferred my paper template to Styrene so never have to do that again

So guys here is my pic portfolio of my progression of building my take on a T-21. Firstly let me say this- that this is not to be a scale copy of a Lewis Gun conversion. I have looked at many of my fellow Legionnaires projects & have taken what I like & left out what I don't. I'm no master builder, if any thing my skills are to my thinking are lacking but ill give it my best. Start of the mag plate note template yes I left out the raw frame shots Stoke & Breech with template Pistol grip frame & outer side of pistol grip with template PVC piping which will form up the barrel the brass pipe end caps will make up my stock pull through compartment

I'm very impressed of your build and have decided to copy your tutorial. The biggest hurdle at this point has been converting from imperial measurements to metric (inches to millimetres) and of course getting the crop & cutting of the down load able template to match accurate sizing. . In obtaining material has be quite easy & I have been able to locate material of the correct sizing which takes away the issue of resizing over sized materials . Will post my development of my T 21 as it progresses in a new topic window. Thanks for the motivational tutorial.

Season Greetings from down under

For me I think the appeal is that 1) this site is in my opinion one of the best as it is full of information regarding every thing TK. 2) As yet i've not seen or heard of nub's to the world of TKing that this site is slow, lack information or the willingness of people wanting to help. 3) It is wounderfull to have something in common with a very varst aray of peope across a broad spectrum of the worlds social econmic enviroment & networks that seem get on swimmingly. 4) whilst on occassion some people get a little serious about a topic, I believe that this is caused more out of passion about being TK rather stupidity. 5) and no here take the piss out me for going to bed with my teddy bear name mr grrrrr! That that OT away

Hi there guys this topic is one that most of us do but for the new ones & those who get caught up in gettting the armour together but when to troop think oh how on earth an I going to transport this armour safely well lets you the experience guys tell them. oh And if this topic is already done then I'm just wanting to reinvigorate it, like any concern person would

Hi there folks, Firstly I hope i'm posting in the right area if not I'm sure of someone out there will tell so, Secondly, I'm posting the following pic's so to get constructive advice on my build. prior going for my approval phase. A couple of things I'm aware and in the process of fixing up the thigh hight as well as the back of the thighs were i had to put in a spacer which buggered up the contour lines lower edges. And yes I know get rid of the FX bucket as soon as possible, I'll do that when the boss of the house allows some funds from the house hold treasurery to do so. Yes I know the belt is sque-if & so is the chest plate All comments welcomed OT

I like it, very good & it gave me a chuckle. OT
