Rolf I don't know mate, you're getting slow in your old age, 3 days in and you haven't finished this little beautie yet? ... Tchhh!! Looking mighty darn fine there Sir, and as I've told you a million times, I bloody hate you and the way you make it all look so bloody easy But I love you and all your skill and your unbelievable attention to detail Can't wait to see this Bad Boy in the flesh in June matey. Now get a bloody move on and stop messing around!

Ferg A man of impeccable taste I see Welcome to the TM Owners Club matey. a couple of pieces of advice if you've never put armour together before (or maybe even if you have ), take a look over at Pete Stukatroopers tutorials because they will help you immeasurably, get to know the parts of this beeee-yewwww-teeee-fullll suit before you start to attack it, and the biggest one of all........ take your time As for Paul delivering your suit, well that doesn't supprise me, just like his armour he's PURE class. The guys a genius and a saint amongst men.

Here's the latest helmet to be presented on the 501st TK Helmet project and BOY! is it a sweet one Good ol' Matt Busch hasn't let us down with his offering, no messing here folks, grab those 3-D glasses and take a look at TK-Gillman http://501sttkproject.blogspot.com/ Now, how frigging COOL is that? .......

Matt I bet if you push him He'll even tell the brush sizes he used

Matt Wow!, sorry fella, I don't know how I missed this thred Mark, Caleb I can more then vouch for Matt as being the most stand up guy on this planet, I would honestly trust this man with my life, and I really do mean that <_< His word is beyond reproach, FULL STOP Matt The only problem you may have with this sweet little beast is the metal parts showing up on the scanners.It maybe touch and go wheather this beauty gets through, but HEY!, nothing ventured nothing gained Right, for all those out there who would like to have a go for them selfs (and not pester Matt ) here's some pic's of an extremely high-tec method that as worked in the past.....but remember you always do this at your own risk and you could loose what you are trying to send if the Customs don't like what they see, so be warned Paint that muthhaa up ......arrh, but wait,....things always look better after a nice hot bath...... Now leave my mate Matt alone, he's got his set of TK armour to finish off....... ....Haven't you Matt?

I use UnderArmor two piece hot and cold, plus I've got a one piece Extreme racing suit just to mix it up a bit ....just because I can

Mr.Mark Sir you is corrr-rect......and how bloddy good does that look Dan...WOW!,...mate that is one beautiful set up you have there fella. Congratulations and well done Sir

Karin Now how could I possibly mind?, you saved me 3 hours of looking for it in old posts Thanks Mame

Vic..... <_< You are a man after my own heart mate

As a self confessed 'Blaster Addict' , I would have to break my preferences down as follows;- Trooping 1st.- HyperFirm wins hands down, sorry nothing even comes close to it for durability, this bad boy is the undisputed World champion in my book 2nd.- A nice and well made PVC scratch build.as long as its light and accurate looking as possible 3rd.- Modded resin Sterling copy. with replaced fragile parts where possible 4th.- Good ol' Hasbro converted with Doopy Doos Kit. 5th.- An old chair leg from your Grannies dining room set painted black and some good ol' gaffa tape Show- off / Display 1st - Sterling SMG, fully kitted out with Hengstler,M38/M40/M19,metal rail and 'draw rail' T-Track 2nd- Master Replica's E11, 3rd- Metal scratch build with fully working stock (but would have to be good <_< ) 4th- Good resin copy, modified with real parts where possible Would kill for!!! 1st- An original prop from ANH 2nd- Pablo's!!!!!!!!........tchh!, need I say more

Comparison shots <---2009/10 TM Helmet.......2008 TM Helmet---> Right, I'm off to phone Ms.Hayek.....Enjoy!!!

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..........

Right-Click SAVE,Right-Click SAVE,Right-Click SAVE,Right-Click SAVE, Pete Top Man for posting these up mate ....and yerrp. no Imperial stormtrooper worth his salts would leave home without a least a couple of rolls of good ol' Gaffa tape sitting nicely in their kit bags

Have a fantastic time everyone, and I hope that 2010 is a brilliant year for one and all

I did a bit of digging and found the Court Ruling Here's the link;- http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2009/1328 And here's a breif outline of the findings;- Mr. Ainsworth must be laughing his nuts off and punching the air right now. It certainly is a strange old World that we live in

This was reported in the London Evening Standard today;- Very interesting

OK, I'll kick it off I've watched this guy from the start and I'd like to say he was a very shy and retiring type but I would be lying He hit the floor running and was full of confidence and wasn't afraid to show it. He's provided some fantastic tutorials in the short time that he's been aboard that may not have been unique but have been extremely informative to his fellow members. This guy seems to be in it for the long haul and seems to know what the main ethos of the FISD truly means. Soooo, without further ado, I would like to nominate......(drum roll please ) Pandertrooper - Terry (TK-2886)

Gary Looking bloody sweet there mate I love scratch builds and this looks like it as the makings of a REEEEEEELY nice one Great work so far mate, can't wait to see it progress
