  1. A bit late of an edit as well. When I built my first version (a TD pack) I had a second aker in the radio box playing radio chatter, so that way it came from my pack. My second Aker was in my chest for my speaking. I ran into an issue while using one Aker for both, that all the sound was coming from my pack, including my speech. I'd have to turn around for my handlers to hear me. Then to get the balance right between the chatter and my voice was difficult, so I opted for 2 akers.
  2. Hey guys, I got all my parts to start the pack today. I'll be sure to take pics along the way! I need to get some sign board for the boxes, or I may use some Polystyrene I have here.
  3. Hey all!! Last year I got my HWT approved, unfortunately it was using a TD pack. SO I SOLD IT!!! It's gone now, and I just ordered all of my parts to begin a new build based on the Battlefront version. I'll be updating my progress here as parts come in, but it's a pleasure to be back and get the armor back in action. I've been rocking Chewbacca since late last year and I am excited to get my HWT back up to snuff for summer!
  4. One of my squad mates is suggesting using a water based acrylic to dilute and blend it etc. Only drawback to that means no more transition from HWT to Clean TK. I'd have to rock a weathered TK.
  5. For Level 2/3 lightly scuffed and battle worn is required. I mean, I have plenty of scratches from my gun and pack to say that it's battle worn lol but I figured throwing a bit of Charcoal dust in the creases and on the chest would help define it a bit more. Not quite sandtrooper extent though.
  6. Hey all, I am going to go buy some Charcoal dust or sticks (and shave them) to get the weathering done on my HWT so I can submit. Does anyone have any advice, or a tutorial to assist so it looks decent? Last thing I want to do is just throw black smudges all over this thing lol.
  7. I'll throw some pics up this weekend We have a troop Saturday, then Sunday I'll be adding the weathering and some additional parts.
  8. Thanks guys! I am going to try the Charcoal powder to add some weathering on Sunday and hopefully submit my pics shortly thereafter.
  9. LOL thank you very much! My Squad Leader made the T-21, it's absolutely fantastic! Lights and sounds as well!! The pack was my first attempt and it was a rush build for Celebration, so I had about 4 days to knock it out. After trooping the pack all day Saturday at C7, the back of my armor looks like it's gone to war lol. I do plan on scuffing up the front a bit, maybe adding some blaster damage. I just realized too, I am VERY VERY close to Centurion approval (once the pack is finished). I just need to add the rivets tot he Ab/Kidney and the small cutouts and I'm there. I built everything else up to Centurion status.
  10. I'm a gentle giant lol it was an oversight on my part. I am VERY happy with my sandy pack though lol
  11. I should have read the CRL first. I really doubt this would get approved for HWT yeah?
  12. Suddenly aware I built the wrong pack lol.... well damn...
  13. Hey all, I am looking for some comments on my HWT before I submit my pictures next week. Built my pack (with full audio) rocking a T-21 and pouches from TD-8266 and my perdy white pauldron. Check out my finished troop pics from Celebration and my pack build pics. I am open to all comments! Keep in mind, I am 6'6" in armor lol.
