OnkelPaschulke Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 The blaster is looking good. A little bit too shiny for my liking but this would be a quick fix… still trying to figure out where to put my magnet… I think I‘ll trim a small hole in the trigger guard and put the magnets inside and the use some putty and black paint to hide it.Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeHuggerMatt Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 Yeah does a bit. It’s the lighting in the room when I took the pic I think as it’s a bit duller in person. ideally I’d have had it inside the disc on the lhs grip but this will do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayelbe Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 For my original blaster I shaved off the disk and replaced it with a similar sized magnet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreeHuggerMatt Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 Was just reading it earlier. It’s really cool. what I was thinking was drilling a small disc hole in the left grip , embedding another button magnet and then covering with paste and paint. It’s great to see how people solve these things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeHuggerMatt Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 I fear I have to put this wonderful journey on hiatus. The cost of living crisis here in the UK means I need all the money I can get to try to keep warm , fed and a roof over my head should things continue to get worse. I hope it’s not for long but it’s gone to be at lest next year before I might feel able to afford to get the armour sorted. Unless I’m about to get a lottery win or an inheritance. I’m not going anywhere and I WILL see this through… just not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreeHuggerMatt Posted May 16, 2023 Author Share Posted May 16, 2023 This is something I never thought id post. This year has been going from bad to worse culminating in my mum nearly passing because of a massive stroke last Wednesday. Its a long road but she's still here and the road to recovery starts. Last week I received a message on the forum from the @BikerScout007 Some amazing human being , I dont know who they are , has spoken to rob from chefs creations and has offered to pay for my soft goods.😮 He then passed on the offer to me which tbh was a huge shock and I'm still weirded out by it, So this means with whats about I will only need to , when I can , buy the sized armour and then its a case of test fitting and adjusting as necessary. I am blown away by this members amazing generosity and I will be another step closer to achieving this dream. I knew there were some amazing people around here but this , this is just beyond that and I will never be able to thanks this pathfinder enough. Whoever you are I thank you from the bottom of my heart Just wanted to let you know im still here and cant wait to be trooping some day sooner than I thought. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeHuggerMatt Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 Just had it confirmed that all I would have to do is sort the armour and the bucket. I don’t know who you are but I will never be able to repay your huge love and kindness towards me. somehow THANK YOU seems it will never be enough. typed this in tears much love 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreeHuggerMatt Posted June 18, 2023 Author Share Posted June 18, 2023 Looking into the neck covering with the open collar. Found this on uk Amazon. Obvs the black one but thinking it would do nicely ? https://amzn.eu/d/9WGHETb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 That’ll work Matt. Keep in mind that the length of the neck piece for this particular dickie is meant to be turned down like a regular turtleneck and will be worn over your balaclava. It might be hotter than one with a 3” neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The balaclava is a thin , breathable fabric so Im hoping it’ll be fine. I can always get a troopacoola scout helmet fan kit if needed. hide power bank in pouch and run cable up the turtleneck etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR ”Collar: A Mandarin-style collar closure flap covers the neck area; OR Collar may be left open. If collar is left open, trooper's neck must be covered with a black garment such as a neck seal, gaiter or long balaclava.” @BikerScout007 did a great video about it. I’ll link it here the neck covering is from about 4 mins in 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you choose to wear one, it must meet the CRL requirements. We just asked that all your neck flesh be covered -- by either a dickie, neck gaiter, long balaclava OR a neck seal. Me? I wear an Under Armor balaclava and a dickie. That seems to be what most of the film scouts did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarok Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Lol thanks for pointing that out @TreeHuggerMatt and @BikerScout007 always helps if I read all the words in the CRLs. Doh!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
