One wonders how they would cobble together a car from wrecked cars which there was only one of? The original black coupe ( which is not actually the interceptor, that was the yellow XB four door that Max was driving at the start of the movie. It has "Interceptor" written across the bootlid in big white letters. ) was cobbled together from bits and pieces they found around the place. There was only one of them. One of the gents in our Garrison knows someone who has been working on the film. All of the cars are built, and in storage. The film is supposedly set between Mad Max I. and II. The Black coupe is supposed to be a transition between the shiny car from I, and the almost wreck with the long range tanks of II.

I love my scratch built PVC E-11, but with a real scope, real hengstler, and real sterling folding stock, the bugger is way too heavy. I'm getting old, and have tennis elbow in both elbows... It stays holstered pretty much all the time. I'd love to have a Hyperfirm, but I just can't get one in to the country.

Just back from seeing Avatar. Totally awesome! The animation was brilliant. I forgot about it completely. The 3D effects were at times a bit too much, but I'm old, I'm not a fan of heights, and my eyesight isn't that good, so I'll forgive it for that.

Going to IMAX on Sunday. Looking forward to it

*sigh* Indeed. I've watched this thread since it started. I've not known if I should laugh or cry. Does the FISD have a Sainthood award? I believe some should be handed out.

Dave, I've got the mag, the D-ring and the T-track you need, but I don't have the front nozzle thingie. You don't need to grind off the T-tracks that are there, just cover the spots that are vacant.

Dave, great work, you are almost there!

Congrats mate, and yes, about bloody time !

Linc, post here mate : http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?show...t=0&start=0

Do I detect a different breast plate as well? Hmmm, maybe booby armour is on the way to becoming official

Just try getting under the edge of it with a scalpel, or some sort of sharp little knife. It'll just peel off in lumps.

Nice work , Scotty, congrats ! See you at Supanova

Damnit , I just riveted my sniper plate to my right calf !! It's about bloody time the CRL's were put in place, well done to all involved

Yeah , they do look a bit pale . Walter , are they just washed out by the camera ? Looking good mate , a couple of bits to fine tune , and you'll be there

Garreth , I can't say that I've ever looked at the holster that comes with the FX suit , but the ANH Elite standards only have this to say : # Holster is worn on the left # Holster must be attached to the belt from behind instead with no loops covering the outside of the belt Unless it looks like a total piece of rubbish , and it doesn't comply with the standards , it should be ok . Of course , if you get one of the snazzy holsters you can get from some of the blokes here , you'll probably be happier with it . Remember , you can always upgrade later .

Brother J speaks the truth . Oz is awesome ! 2 weeks ago , we dropped from 113 deg F to 72 F over the weekend . Yesterday morning , it went from 66 , raining and windy , to 90, clear and humid by lunch time . Today , 88 F and about to rain .

Where there's a will , there's a way I've found that when you have to go , it isn't that hard to get everything out and ready. It's getting everything tucked back in and comfortable that causes concern . It's a bit like sitting in armour . When you need to , you will .

I had no problems getting my Chelsea boots . Just went to my local horsey/ riding shop , and they had heaps to choose from . Paid $49 AU , and $5 for shoe dye . Painted them that night . Comfortable TK boots in a day . CAboots have got nothing on these little beauties

Indeed . There was a bloke in our garrison who was adamant that he was going to wear a pauldron with his Officers costume and " it looks damn good " . He was persuaded otherwise ...

Congrats Garth , fantastic work !! Hope to see you on a troop one day

A bloke in our squad worked for one of the telephone companies here in Oz . He mentioned that he used to strip them out of the telephone exchanges when they refurbished them . Reckons he threw hundreds , if not thousands ,of them away

Graeme , we need to get together for an armour day . Generic hobby paint probably isn't going to cut it . Your local Bunnings now stock Rustoleum , but you'll have to ask for it . The warnings on it don't comply with Australian standards , so they don't keep it on the shelves I've been using it recently , and it works a treat . I've got some primer from work that sticks to plastic really well . Grab some rustoleum and I'll come over and we can spray away

Congrats Jason , you've done a great job !! Well.... someone has to do it ... the Deathstar is a grubby place .

Jase , needed a break from some forums ( not this one ) , just been lurking.

As always Jason , great work . Looking very nice !
