Very interesting, you may have something there...

That's a bit pricey. I'd go for a real MG34 before I got that dude. But, still looks killer.

Holla if I can help brotha...from one web admin to another.

Yeah...agree with the guys above. It's a "recaster" and very soft pulls IMHO. Avoid the noid man. You can find a much better setup here among the real troopers.

No bueno man. Avoid it and stick to this forum. You will def find better armor, and a much better deal all the way around.

Awesome pics as always Julie! Your costumes are amazing.

Bingo...Jesse beat me to it.

Looking good man. Aside from what you know, only comment would be to make sure your sniper plate does not get buried in your thigh part.

Thanks Paul. We have the BSN and Spec Ops sites setup this way too. It does help to keep the "spambots" at bay.

I'm 6"2, but dude, that's tall enough for this post. I have a 34" inseam and the legs were the toughest part. I sport AP armor for my TK and it works pretty well. I just had to mod the thigh and shin parts so there was no gap. My TX Shadow is an older FX kit and it required some mods for my height too. I have a 'little' brother who is 6"6 and he's pretty much only doing a Vader and pulls it off very well.

Looking good!

Doing a great job! I found a squared file works really well for the teeth. Plus you control how much abrasion is applied. It really helped me to shape the squared teeth better and make them look more accurate.

Awesome stuff Jim. I am moving to Hurst next month and plan to hook up with you.

What's the cost?

I have a rigid dude similar to a store mannequin. It was inexpensive, but not easy to work with. I really like the way you can pose that one.

Nice mannequin.

You got it man. This site is loaded with great people and we're all about "troopers helping troopers". You will be up and running in no time! Good to have you on board!

Glad you found it Derrek. Eastbay rox.

Looks okay, but agree with the above comments. IMO...you could find a better one on this forum. Obviously, it's up to you but eBay is not the best option.

It will, and I hope you have a 2-piece when it does...!

Great newsletter, many thanks and congrats to LadyInWhite (Ingrid)! Great work...!

Not the best option. If you end up looking for a better option, check out Eastbay.com for some great deals. They offer 2-for-1(s) all the time and the products are really good. Very comparable to Under Armor gear.

Wow...I would not have gone that route. Even though you did not pay too much, there is a risk that it won't actually show up. Plus, the quality will most likely be terrible.

Todd...you are a machine man! I can't wait to see this one...!

Wow, very impressive.
