TK 62088[TK] Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hi all, Just wanted to take a moment and share my newly completed HWT armor and pack that I've been working on the past month. Just received approval from 501st for the kit and I'm definitely ready to start trooping in the Mid-South Garrison. Hopefully everything will stay together and not fall apart lol. Let me know what you all think! I got a lot of inspiration and help from Mutter's HWT pack build which is here: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30721-mutters-hwt-pack/ And assembly help from ukswrath's build thread here: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30034-hwt-backpack-build-part-1/ Big thanks to those two threads! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 GREAT looking pack, Jeff, and I'm really glad to see that you weathered it! IMHO HWT packs need to look a little battle worn, and not so "new out of the box". For weathering my armor, I purchased some women's black "pancake" type make-up and a "blush" brush from the dollar store. It stays on really well, but can be removed with some spray cleaner when I have to troop as a regular TK. Just don't go overboard with it! Side note: For the barrel of my Hyperfirm T-21, I (carefully) drilled out the end using a spade bit, cut off some short pieces of PVC pipes and glued them in. This would also work in the DLT-19 using a 1 1/2 inch wide pipe. It just adds that extra touch of realism... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK 62088[TK] Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Thank you Joseph. I was trying to think of the best way to cut out the muzzle for the dlt. You answered my question! Just need to get the appropriated sized spade bit now. And thank you again Mutter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 You will need the same size bit as whatever size PVC pipe you are using, i.e. 1 1/2 inch. If the edges look a little rough after you glue the pipe in, you can glue in a rubber washer around it to cover them before you paint.
