I guess it is up to the Garrison. I know Carida prides itself on accuracy, so your fun mods are probably not going to happen... for me at least.

Then your feet are made for this.. maybe I just need a few more miles in mine lol

I also went with Imperial Boots. But no matter which you go with, always remember they are not ideal for parades without padding lol.

So, I am at a cross roads with weathering the pack and TK. I understand that I can pass without it being weathered. but EIB/Centurion is an option. however, if I do that, then I will also need to weather my ANH TK. Unless I get another set of armor.. which isn't in my budget right now haha. I eventually would like to weather it a tad, but like Shea, I may want to keep both so I can alter between HWT and TK. Unless their is an easy way to clean off the weathering on the armor that doesn't take all day. Nice packs.. I like Paul's but I wonder if that is approvable.

Great work Jason! Keep it up!

CoolHand, I actually picked up a black Pauldron from Jay Parsons. Great Work. The orange Pauldron. I am not sure.. My girlfriend actually surprised me with it. She got it off someone on the forums, but I can't for the life of me remember the name. As for the MP40 puches that I will need to paint black, I got off ebay. Just search MP40 pouches!

Well, this won't be much of a build thread. But would like to announce that I will be transforming my TK to a HWT. I have been incredibly busy with photography and was lucky enough to find Crooknight who has offered commissions on building a HWT pack. Today.. My pack is being shipped. I have a lot to the pieces.. Except for the heavy weapon. I know we can be approved with an e-11 but to me.. If you wanna be a true heavy... You need a heavy weapon. So I'm working on that last bit. Big thanks again to Crook for creating a beautiful pack for my HWT. (I also have a black pauldron) (just testing out the Pauldron on taking out my girlfriend's nephew for Halloween) My beautiful Pack created by CrookKnight

For a mere $6,000 I will stand in your home for a month. But, occasionally move! Call now!

This looks like it will be fun!

Good Luck! Have fuN!

Awesome. Thanks Tony, That does sound easier

Hello fellow troopers! Just wanted to share an idea and wanted to verify with any seasoned troopers who have more experience in this department then I do. I am in the process of gathering pieces for my HWT and received a new belt and canvas belt for my HWT. I however need to make those 3 Square/Circular buttons on the belt itself. I have spare ABS, and my plan was to heat up the plastic and use a dime (u.s. currency) lol.. to indent the square to have a circular center. Is there any other way to create these buttons? Or is using the dime the best option? Thanks for the help! Here is my ANH Stunt belt for reference.

Working on my HWT but wanted to give my Pauldron a test drive. Took out my girlfriend's nephew for trick or treating last night.

Honored of the mention and always willing to assist fellow troopers! Great Newsletter! I always look forward to these!

Great Progress so far Brian. You are hitting the home stretch! We will see you at the finish line.

Welcome aboard Ian. Listen to my fellow comrades you must! If you have any questions, you know where to ask. Good Luck on your build!

Congrats Trooper and welcome aboard!

I am still battling between the DLT and T-21. Heck, even the RT-97 is nice, and I hardly see anyone carry that sucker around. All depends on what you wanna do!

Looking Great Trooper! Well done on your build! Get out there and troop!

Hi Zefram. You look good. Attached is my chest and how it looks when it is complete for comparison. I only have a shot from the back. But it looks similar to mine. Hope that helps.

All I can say it that this is incredible. Keep up the great work!

Hi Ron, How bad is it? Almost anything is fixable. Post some pics. But if you do need replacement decals, I believe if you head on over to trooperbay.com they will have replacements for you.

Nicely done. No way I am going to attempt sewing.

Looking good Mark. Looks like you are ready to hit the beach. Not even a trooper yet and already thinking about a vacation from the death star. Keep up the progress. I think everything looks good so far. Well done!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!! This should be an easy EIB Pass. Hang Tight! Someone with the team should be with you soon. Great Work!
