Rolf[501st] Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hahah yeah the speedy trooper is dead, i´m afraid Now i´m a father, and on top of that a full time single dad to a boy at soon 18 month. He´s my new big hobby in my life, and take most of my time. But who knows, i might return to mr. speedy trooper together whit him, when he´s a bit older. But i still get the suits done ... just not as fast as before. I have just add the straps to the parts, so i´m all most there. Just need to add the canvas belt to the belt, add the accurate strap system all over, snaps, glue, elastics, hooks, screws, wires Then its time for the helmet, and final the dirty weathering job New pics up real soon.

Locitus[Admin] Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 You're still far faster than I was. But then again, I had never built nor even seen a suit in real life before I started mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, I had never built nor even seen a suit in real life before I started mine. Copy that, after several suits, you get the routine. Some projects i like to do fast, and thinks thats fun. Some i like to take my time on, no stress, just chill and have a good time whit it. I guess this one, is one my more relaxed projects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-4510[TK] Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 What do you think of the .040/1mm ABS?? Is it too thin for trooping??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf[501st] Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Thanks for the kind words bro´s, i really like this master suit too It was fun to troop in the flex abs, and the parts just move whit me. The 1mm abs is really strong, i got no cracks in the suit, and can bend the parts hard whit any cracking. I even took a piss in it hahaha, i just open the side of it, and the parts flex to the side, real handy I hope to get it dirty in a few days from now. I have a few new pictures. Enjoy I have add the accurate strapping in the suit, i will take some better pics asap. But heres one for now: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloDallas Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I had NEVER been saving pictures of "fan made" armor to my computer. Since TM 1mm came out, I have. Been collecting trooper armor for ten years. At 43, you judge what this means. Terrific, SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTYS Steve Thanks bro Yeah its a great feeling, to troop whit this light and accurate suit. I hope to get the suit dirty this week, if not next week for sure. Here it just began to snow, so out door pics might have to wait to its away again. I´m ok here, better each day. I just got a better deal made, last time we was in a court meeting. She still wanna meet me in the city court here, trying to take my son away from me, and destroy him, because she´s a mess. But as i have won all cases over her so far, and been taken care of him since he got born 18 month ago, i´m pretty sure she is game over and done.

Rolf[501st] Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Great build, Rolf. Great to work with this stuff, isn't it! Looking forward to seeing it with a sandy paint job. I love it, it super quick to trim. I just used a few scissors, and a hobby knife. I only used my dremel, on a few round lines. New dirty pics up real soon, from the cold north Europe here (not my kind of weather, as i´m a sandy to the bone, maybe i should move to spain bro, i see you got sun and 23 warm degrees) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf[501st] Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hi bro´s. I have worked a little on the helmet. I have redone the placement of the face plate, last time i pull out the chin as long as i could. But it made the side tubes a bit long, and helmet front a bit wide looking. Here a few pics of how it looks now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf[501st] Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Le legs: (ammo belt dot on) Love how they was made back then, just open 3 snaps, and you got it on. Upper chest corner, kidney, crotch, and you are rock and roll. The bells are add on quick on whit snaps too: I love the veclcro are gone, and all the elastics are either snaps or glued one. I will get this monster dirty real soon, but i guess i´m in no hurry for taken it out side for nice shots all suit up. Check out this pics, taken out side my window: New pics up real soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
