cheers guys - I am the third cleared one, youd be 4th mate ! lmk if you need any help. hoping to hear on one other potential bit of good news - fingers crossed! Nate

its offical - CB4365 reporting for duty sir!! No17 !!! we is growing! Nate

hey mate - yeah Angelos kit was done pre-high res pics. He was affectionately known as the swamp trooper. you got the card from Mr Bungle I suppose? I have colour matched it a while ago for European trooper to a dulux colour as well, its gooseberry fool shade 4 over here http://www.icipaints...erry_fool_4.jpg but your colour match is very close - should be fine!! when you first put it on it looks real pale, but done worry, as you weather it up and the camo goes on, the contrast begins to bring out the green more

still awaiting clearance - but if any of you boys interested in the cossie and ned more info - lmk its more or less sorted for parts and how-tos now Nate

Aye I know, was hoping we could. Theres still 3 days though gml job is hard enough, always make it a point not to pester abt clearance issues either will be nicer catching up w the cloners this weekend mate - safe drive dude D - wanna do a prop table? I got to bring a donation clone pilot lid and a gm lid for people to see, if u bring ur e2 lid too?

just got in guys - away a week with the in laws still no word abt the approval, did get an email from the GML informing me abt the massive backlog should be soon though - hopefully, fingers crossed!! Nate

all valid arguments. omg at least there isnt the whole ABS/HIPS arguments in TB world! at the end of the day, all clearable cossies.

yeah its fine the smudged effect is quite important though - I used the same exact combo as suggested by Mr Bungle. White on some, Grey on others, and black misting on all of em as you can see, some of the pouches are almost completely obscured by the white/grey with camo just peaking through Nate

************** BRAIN FLASH ****************** move the bell elastic to the boots!!! ************ BRAIN FLASH OVER ***************

Yeah tom, thats a hang over from my tb set up. Not sure it necessary, but does stop the bell from riding up too much. They arent that noticeable, pic was taken w flash to show up the camo. Might also suggest to debbi abt using black shoulder straps for the cummerbund. dan, u here too?? Lol, not thinking of going kashyyyk too are yer? The knee and shins are mr bungles. Hell, I am covered from head to toe in my bungles product. (that sounds so wrong). Lsfu cummerbund. cheers john - appreciat ti, I know you u did one of the 1st few Kashyyysks in the UK! How are you man? Nate

rofl yeah noticed the right foot too but ran out of damned elastic to put from shin to cap, but I thought that aint gonna stop me putting it all on Nate

yes boss, sorry boss! shame as this is one of my favourite clones - finally decided this weekend was THE weekend, and thanks to my awesome wife and doing lots of the sewing for me

Dude my pair of us13 are w.marcelo. I asked him to send em to u weeks ago? Will chase it up man. Glad to hear everything is well w ur son

this is my MB version 1 lid I have since replaced the visor lens to something even more shiny!!

getting there was sitting down today thinking there must be a better way of tackling the boot. I was thinking plastic? nah. Resin? maybe, but how to stick it on. Stick it with E6000? Wait a minute - why not build it up WITH E6000!!!! should work with any boot and painted

vinyl extension like on clone boots or TB boots? could still work!

like all boots - there are short coming; but that would be true for anything less than a KC best not to concentrate on the bad points; so good points: (1) threads look nice and chunky (2) slip on (3) cheap will be interested to see how it pans out D. Nate

pm replied debbi. thanks. Nate

Debbie interested but strapped for cash till end of month. When is the run starting? Would appreciate pm abt details required, thx

Hows this gettin on giovanni?

ow dude now an excuse to fibreglass the inside of the face plate!! isopon/bondo fixes everything ;P

what i have learnt over the years - is that you are often your own worse critic little and often is a good way foward. also patience is very importance - esp.ly with our crappy weather. I let the layers dry nice and complete before the next, soemtimes resisting the need to rush the next layer I also lacquered up my helmet - after that layer I left it a good 3 weeks before even thinking of polishing it. In fact, I just buffed mine up instead of polished small tip - if you do go with the lacquer layer, do that before you paint on the grey - the gloss of No5 Humbrol doesnt react well with lacquer and ripples. The Humbrol matt black in the snout doesnt do that though. heres my modded Rubies and with MC armour

this is it man you want the soles casted? if you link me to how the others do it, I might be able to do it, I have casted with RTV silicone before

Giovanni I will be v happy to offer up my kc shoes. They arent the original pit crewe, but its got the right sole its us size 13 Pics to follow

kenneth coles & bed stu's come the closest for a time GBX journeymen did it for most I myself haveposted 2 options in the relevant section - but they are UK based stores IMHO- those walmart mart are prob good enough seeing how some KTs have passed clearance with similiar lloking boots. fr a personal choice poitn of view though - I would wait, there a guy on CT.net that has already done a great clone adn animted clone boot for a reasonable price. His team is currently working on a KST/GM boot. look up crow62 over there Nate
