  1. That looks so good Daniel...I am sure I saw them and you in Essen :-).. And yes the bandolier is from India....:-)
  2. Looking real good Derek! :-)
  3. Hey Jannick Have you asked Paul about it?..I think he can provide a very specific answer :-)..
  4. Thanks you Jason:-).... Any questions on that as well, just ask them:-)
  5. Cannot sit down in the armour..or that is..I cannot at least:-)
  6. You are most welcome:-) The boots can be approved, but they are not very accurate.....therefore I recommend some of the others...:-). DoopyDoos is a company, that makes blaster kits. No I did not buy a Hasbro because it will not be approved beyond basic level:-)..
  7. I would avoid those boots and check out the ones I have listed in my thread on boots, or Bass Amsterdam, or Lands End Chelseas. An E-11 can be purchased various places, I bought a DoopyDoos, and you can check out my build thread on that:-)
  8. Some pics from my first official troop, where my kid joined as well:-)
  9. I used the halves of kinder eggs, with battery driven Christmas lights inside..I can post some pics later.......:-) Thanks :-)
  10. You are in for treat...it is absolutely a gorgeous armour:-)
  11. Fixed Now painting and weathering:-)
  12. Had Alfredo make a fire selection lever, and a rear sight. Arrived yesterday, and I fiddeled with them today. They are both made "functional"... The fire selection lever. A screw into the rear, and the into the blaster....of course painting and weathering will be done later The rear sight has been made functional by drilling out the part where the sight would be attached on a real mg-34, and a wooden dowel has been inserte instead, secured by a screw to the rear. A trench for the screw that holds the sight to the dowel has been dremelled out. I need to find solution where the sight will lie totally flat against the blaster when not in the upright position
  13. Received mine last week..it is beyond awesome:-).....as I am a TK only, it will probably just be used for display.....so far :-)
  14. Looks nice agreed, but apparently this company comes with a lot of bad publicity, http://www.milsimempire.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=4121 http://thefordreport.com/2012/11/concerning-cushman-custom-creations/ and the quality is supposedly not very good... Tried getting in touch with DoopyDoos?
  15. Agreed Karin... My favourite piece of classical music by far!.:-) I hummed it for my son when he was an infant and was crying his eyes out...it calmed him down totally:-) I played it for him when he was just 8 months old, and he would jump up and down when on any bodys lap, whenever he heard it:-)
  16. TM makes absolutely fabulous armours, and they fit like they were made at a taylors... And I agree, why not have an expert make your armour for you?..I am so glad that I chose that option:-) Enjoy yours, and may the days pass quickly:-)
  17. RGR that Mathias:-) ... And ofcourse ( luckily my armour is fully up to the new standards, I still "just" need to loose more weight...15 cm now, and still the gap is too big for Centurion...but I reckon that 6 months in Africa will take care of that little "problem";-)
  18. Those side gaps were my achilles heel as well..:-), what did you do to minimize it?..I lost 12 cm ( now 16cm) off my waistline.....and the gap is still too wide for Centurion clearance......(sigh:-))
  19. Goood job all!.:-).. A question: will this affect current EIB holders or Centurions?
  20. I wear parade gloves in my rubber gloves. Those are rather thick high quality cotton, and of superior quality compared to cotton liners. They absorb all the moisture from my hands, also on an 8 hour troop, and I wash them afterwards. Not yet had a problem with bad smell. Make sure you hang the rubber gloves to dry after trooping, and ofcourse wash the cotton gloves. Like Mathias I do not see a need for looking anything short of best possible/as accurate as possible when trooping:-) I totally second what Karin said, vinegar takes care of bad smell,:-)... as does Rodalon
  21. I agree, get them stitched on if at all possible....good man getting the Loakes, those are fabulous boots:-).
  22. I must agree with Vern, why not aim a bit higher, than solely focusing on the price?..:-), and just barely make to the point if basic CRL clearance?:-)... Basically they are not accurate. Yes they are cheap..but I doubt they will last very long, or be that comfortable to wear for that matter. I know that the choice is the individuals prerogative, but should we not try and advocate the highest of standards?:-)... Just my two cents..:-)
  23. Not up to stsndards I am afraid.....the front is not supposed to have more than one layer of leather, or any seams/stitchings.... So how would they work?:-)....
