Wook's Totally Dirty (TD) Build - AP

Recommended Posts

Had a small troop today, so that was good. My voice electronics failed again, so that sucked. But I think i conditionally finished my t21, so that is good.

Added the tubing greeblie with some blue wire (sacrificed some cat5 wire). Added sling. Added coil wire. Just need weathering and one other thing.

I put a couple of elastic bands around the barrel shroud. I’ve seen other builds where people use tubing. I think it is a bracket for a bipod. The elastic bands are temporary.

I will shape a piece of plastic to wrap around the barrel some time in the future. I also picked up some fuel line to test if I can fit it on the corrugated surface without looking ridiculous.

My weapons locker is expanding. New member of the family.

Have my first troop with my TD this weekend. I tried on my backpack tonight. I’m not too sure about trooping with it since there will be some thick crowds. Of course that means attaching the shoulder pouch to... what? I’ve decided to use a small elastic strap to wrap around my arm and magnets to hold it in place.

Drilled 3/4 hole in wood “ammo clip”. Inserted a couple of magnets.

Duct tape another magnet to inside of chest.

It holds its position without any other support - sort of. Still need the strap around the arm. Two sets of magnets might hold it in place without any other support. Might.

Well, the magnets didn’t hold as well as I hoped. I will have to double up. I did troop a few days in the TD and discovered a few places that needed trimming and a few that need padding. I picked up an iComm system for my TD and it has been great. I also need to adjust the padding/weight distribution in my helmet - it keeps tilting one way thanks to my USB power source.

Here are a few pics from the troop.

This madness is the new constant in life.  I’m already researching the next build and I haven’t even started this one.  I may need an intervention.

I know just the solution...right before you’re about to press the order button, STOP! Then, slowly and calmly make a check out, payable to me, in the amount you were going to spend. Put my Address on an envelope, insert the check, add an international stamp, and send it. Problem solved!

LOL

 

So, if I understand this right... you are offering to order and build these for me?  That's great, Matt!  That will give me time to start researching a landspeeder build. Thanks!

 

Now if you will excuse me, the markets are about to open.
