Wow, absolutely perfect!.... Two thumbs up!:-)

That is great!...so go for it!:-)...as long as it lives up to the listed standards:-)..

Brenton:-).... As long as it is black, without zippers, buttons and markings, non textured and sits tight on your body..it is accepted......:-)

Thanx man:-)... I thought that myself...glad someone else shares that opinion:-)...

Arh lucky you:-)... I think this looks ok, but if I come across some convex glass/plastic I will definately put that in instead:-)...I used a cut out from a plastic cup for the front end of the scope.....

Some more pics of the finished result. I am in the planning phase of pimping it even more by constructing a working folding stock....maybe it will pan out as I hope.....:-)...not being a craftsman at all, I am treading virgin ground.....let's see.

Had ordered a cheap monocular on ebay. It arrived today, but alas: the oculars were too small, so I decided another approach to get my scope more realistically looking. I cut out a disc of plexiglass and then ground it down to the right size using my new favourite tool, the Dremel. I then ground out the scope to make room for the glass and decal. The surface in the scope was smothed out, as I found it to be too rough, eventhough a decal would cover it up Decal and ocular installed I think it turned out decent enough:-)...I have made the glass fit snugly, so I can remove it and install another I desire so.

I am quite sure that the boots in the movies were painted with a brush..:-) I like the way my boots turned out, eventhough the brushstrokes are visible....at a distance of more than a meter, you cannot see it....

They look vey nice Alexey...very nice:-)....

Yeah it is, and I find that a real plus, as there will be no problem with the neckseal cloth moving around, as it fits snugly to the body and is held in place by elastic bands...:-)...

It is velcro.....:-)

Looks really really good:-)

Great!:-)

I suffer from CDO....it is the same as OCD...but with the letters in the correct order......;-)

Cool:-)

In search for a new neckseal, Troopermaster recomended that I buy the one made by Veedox, so I did. It arrived today, and I must say that it is a piece art, and superb craftmanship. Friendly service, custom made, fast shipping, and the price was good ( actually the same as I paid for an impulsive buy......which turned out to be horrible, ill fitting, poor quality..( be patient Soren....))... The authenticity is top notch, the materials are comfy and nice looking and really a pleassure to wear. The ribbed part is made from a soft rubber like material, and the rest is satin I believe, which also lines the ribbed part, so that the rubber is not in direct contact with the skin. The cool thing is that the cloth around the ribbed part covers the entire upper front and back of the body, and is secured around the waist with broad elastic bands. I can only give the product and customer service my highest recommendations and praise.... I am SO happy with this purchase, and cannot wait till I can put it to use:-)

Ahaaaa :-).... Should have thought of that...well, I can always do that...still have two other pairs that I can paint:-)..

Yeah you need to soak it. Using a brush, and thus more paint per layer will do the job I think :-)

That is just awesome...

It really does, good job:-). How many layers so far?....

Damn damn and blasted !!! ( pun intended). The paint job from yesterday started "bubbling", and I could peel off a big chunk of paint. Luckily for me, it peeled off just in this spot. It did not take much time to tell, that Angelus painted on top of shoewhitener, does NOT work...so I will peel off what I can and then repaint.....

Looking good..but I think you should remove the black covering from the wires. The wires should be somewhat thinner, and red and green in colour:-)...like the ones inside.... Did you receive the stand yet?:-)

Wow!!?, Alexey...that is beautiful work!..:-)...that looks a thousand times better than mine:-).. I am buying an airbrush!;-)....

Ha ha ha :-D.....laughing aside, what size boots do you you wear?......

Thnx David, the amount of walking that Trooping takes is the main reason why I advocate high quality shoes....:-)
