You are so close to being done. Well, you're really never all the way DONE, but you'll be trooping in no time. That's a nice Table Of Progress!

Looks good, Bro.

You better take care of yourself - you've had that cold for awhile now.

Get some Dayquil, Sprite and Campbells chicken soup. I learned that

from an old South Park episode. It's the cure of the middle-class white

man.

Thanks Jenny sounds like a plan, got the cold tablets, chicken soup, Pepsi (with a splash of beam, purely medicinal) and about to re- watch the trilogy's. keep up the good work on your build, won't be long now :)

Nice paint job, Glen. I messed up my hubby's but my twin is an artist-type and I'm having him re-do it. I will show him this thread!

 

If I'm not drinking beer, I'm adding spiced rum to my sprites. :) I get the cheaper spiced rum and then re-name it "Admiral Morgan."

Cause an Admiral sounds way cooler than a plain ole Captain!

 

I hope to have my build done soon after yours. I need to nag my hubby about picking a 5 digit TK number.. or threaten to pick one

for him and that's not right!!!! :)

Thanks Jenny, took me a while to paint the edges of the buttons my hands aren't that steady, may have been the beam lol, Admiral sounds much better, oooooow I'm a Commander now LOL.

Think we may finish our builds about the same time, you are going great btw. Now go nag that husband for his number :laugh1:

 

Felling a bit more human so glued some inner strips and some more snaps

Going to make the caps on the detonator able to be taken off, just glued some abs elbows onto the inside of the caps. Going to have elastic glued on one end with some velcro stiched to the end of it, then velcro glued to the other elbow on the cap. Will just need to pull off one cap, remove the velcro then the ends will come off.

Thinking what ever I use the space for, keys, money to buy icecream for my first troop, or toothbrush to clean death star latrine, I would rap in a little foam first :D

Posted

A few more snaps and studs in place, going for double snaps on the shoulders and crotch for extra strength

Maybe your trooping culture is different, but I've never needed to carry such things with me at a troop. There are handlers or locked dressing rooms for that. And I recommend doing some actual trooping before starting any grand engineering schemes becuase in 99% of the cases people over-think their situation. :P
