[My TM build![*TM]]

Ciao Paride

 

TM is probably the most beautiful TK armour in the world (now that's my humble opinion).... to assemble such armour one needs to take time, love and passion.... your pictures show this already... no question....

 

(Ah I see you are from Padova, I used to work in Trieste for about 2.5 yrs....)

 

Grazie mille....

[Hello from Brussels]

Welcome to the family....

Our motto is.. "troopers helping troopers".... and we are here to help....

You will find this place invaluable..... ask away....

 

Oh, i'll take a litre of blonde please....

[Is this holster OK for EIB]

How are the rest of the mods going?

[Is this holster OK for EIB]

Hey Daz,

 

Agree with Aaron, I reckon you're good to go buddy...

 

We'll soon have you in the first 100.....

[Some of you chat too much]

Those aren't the droids you're looking for.

 

Move along, move along.....

 

Here in the UK, we used to have a TV commercial for a phone company whose moto was.... 'Talk is good', now we have a company called 'Talk Talk'....

 

p.s. I need to get off this laptop

[Coutdown to 100 EIB - DONE!]

As no. 75, i wanna say... come on you guys..... not long now...

 

BTW, Billy, that pic of your's would indeed make an awesome Tee-shirt, perhaps a special for the first 100? Incentives....? mmmm

 

Someone keep me from looking at the ROTJ section as i'm starting to get an itch........(ROTJ EIB, now there's a thought!!!)

[TK6631 requesting EIB status.[78]]

Cheers Shiv, look forward to trooping with you soon buddy. I've just noticed my photo on the EIB pages..whoever did that, many thanks..it looks great

 

We all lookalike don't we.....

[TK6631 requesting EIB status.[78]]

Nice one Steve, and well done buddy.... welcome to the club.... now go out and troop trooper....

Hope to see you on a troop with me soon.....

 

cheers

[Master Replica ANH Helmet VS FX Helmet]

One thing you will notice is that the plastic used on the MRCE lid is thick and is lovely.. I only wish my AP lid was just as sturdy....

You cannot go wrong with the MRCE lid, just sand out the teeth (increase the gaps), fill in the seam gap and put replacement tube decals.....and if you feel bold enough, replace the ears...... thst's it.... you'll have a top trooping lid then....

 

Oh, buckets of space inside too...

[HeathrowTrooper Signing In]

Well done guys, a sterling effort.... armour looks cool Colin, nice one, look fwd to trooping with you sometime....

 

Trooper helping troopers..... rock 'n' roll......

[Doopydoos DLT?]

How can you resist temptation.........

 

Seriously though, I may attempt a build of this..... have the time on my hands now... lol

The only thing I may not be able to do is to fabricate any metal parts..... mmmm

Something to think about though.....

[Doopydoos DLT?]

Typical.....

 

Nice suit by the way...

 

BBC link is as follows if anyone is gonna build one of these...

 

DLT19 self build

[Doopydoos DLT?]

Billy, so the DD DLT19 is a resin piece too? I'm starting to wonder if it's better just building one from the plans on the BBC so at least it should be more robust? Shame no one else builds these to order...... ahem... anyone?

[Doopydoos DLT?]

Can someone buy one in the UKG so we can have a look at it and report back here with the results...

 

But, it's 3kg, damn that's heavy for a trooping blaster....

[scratch build mg15]

DLT-19... now that's one BFG i'm gonna scratch build.....

One question, is the mg15 cannon for shineys?

[Shepperton Design]

Incidently, I have a SDS Hero lid in my small collection and to tell you the truth, I would have expected better quality for the price... hey ho... I'm in the process of smoothing out the eyes and I will at some point take the helmet apart and get new ears for it and trim them up my way.....

[Shepperton Design]

Thanks for that. I'm thinking about buying my first bucket and the battle spec is looking a lot more tempting than a master replica

 

The battlespec is a lovely trooping lid..... but you may find that you'll have to do a little work on it to get it perfect....

 

If you want to have some fun, get yourself a bumpy TE2 lid kit.... and then post your build pics up here....

 

We luv picture postcard threads here...

[TK6631 requesting EIB status.[78]]

Me too buddy am cheering you along, get those pics out pronto....and all the best..

 

(BTW, if you don't want to use silcone, i recommend milliput... it's a very fine modelling putty and it's white so you won't need to paint it..... damn good stuff.. pm me if you need a supplier)

[Hasbro conversion, detailed build]

And here's one I 'made' earlier..... hehe

 

[TK 7794 Requesting Expert Infantryman Status.[76][TM]]

Well done buddy and welcome to the ranks.....

 

Nice TM suit...... very shiney...

[TK4235 - Requesting EIB ANH Elite Status.[75][AP]]

Thanks Thayne, it's an honour to be EIB...

 

BTW, I see you're part of the CA Garrison.... are you guys upto any troops around end of Sept/beginning of Oct over there in CA?

I'll be in your neck of the woods (SF, LA, Venice Beach) in a couple of months...

[TK4235 - Requesting EIB ANH Elite Status.[75][AP]]

Thanks Damian,

 

Yes I think we need to go for the 100 total by the end of the year. That would indeed be a milestone for FISD.

 

Out of curiosity, how big is the Spanish garrison?

[TK4235 - Requesting EIB ANH Elite Status.[75][AP]]

Hey Paul

 

Yes, that would indeed be good... mindyou, the way we guys are going in the UK, you may have a few more coming your way....and we may just hit 100 by the end of the year......

 

I'm still smiling....

[TK6631 requesting EIB status.[78]]

All the best with this Steve....

[TK4235 - Requesting EIB ANH Elite Status.[75][AP]]
