Billhag Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) What could be better then to start off the new year then a beee-ewww-teeefull new lid? OK, maybe Salma Hayek returning all my calls ‘coz I know that she can’t be out walking her dog EVERY TIME I phone her , but this as got to come bloody close I can tell ya So, I was asked by one of my Garrison chums and all ‘round bloody nice guy 89Batman-Gary if I could prepare his new TM lid for the forthcoming onslaught and abuse of the new years trooping. Which may not sound too bigger a deal until you know that this guys lives to troop. The finale count on his Service Record for ‘Official 501st Troops’ for 2009 came to a ground total of……85! (yerrp that’s what I said,….eight ten’s and one five…the guys just not human, he’s like some sort of frigging Trooping machine or something ) Anyway, he wanted me to tweak and tighten and do a little bit of pimping on it for him so that it could withstand the rigours of this Super Human Trooper . For those of you that don’t know, Trooper Master TM constantly re-sculpts and re-evaluates his armour in his unyielding quest (and ours ) for the ultimate, most accurate ANH armour on the planet. This is one of his latest helmet’s which incorporates his brand new face plate which as changed dramatically from his previous creations. Stand by for an onslaught of pictures (‘coz we all lurrrve pictures ) of both Gary’s new lid and some comparison photos along side my 2008 TM helmet ( well, MY 2009 TM one’s a different flavour now ain’t it!...tchhhh! ) more to follow..........

RogueTrooper[TK] Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hey Bill, Sweet lookin' buckets. Top Notch work you have done. Gary is now ready for some major trooping!!! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDUEUNO Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Oh. My. God. The two or three things that bugged me about old TM's faceplate are definitely gone. Better eyes, better teeth, better profile, better ears, better proportions. Damn you Paul! AWESOME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooperman Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Billy these TM helmets are outstanding , having trooped with Gary and being a great chap i know how much he loves his SEXY armour and this is an awsome addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Wow - it went from great to Great-er! Thansk for the pix Billy - this is one goooooorgeus lid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDUEUNO Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I have a photo request Can you please take some front and side pictures of both helmets, but from really far, all zoomed in? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK6540UKG Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Outstanding lid Bill.... (wipes drool from keyboard) Can certainly see some differences there, and they do keep getting better and better....when will it stop ? And yes, Gary defo needs to seek help regarding his trooping addiction. If you want to win Salma over, get yourself a Labradoodle (sp?)...that's what I did, and she won't leave me alone..

synaptyx Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Drool –verb (used without object) 1. to water at the mouth, as in anticipation of receiving a new TE2 bucket; salivate; drivel. 2. to show excessive pleasure or anticipation of pleasure when said helmet arrives on your doorstep. 3. to talk foolishly, babbling incoherently about the various aspects of buckety perfection.
