Hello again !!! one more time me, Philip from Germany !!! today i´ll start a new topic of another build .... it´s MAGMA TROOPER time !!! two weeks ago me and friends of mine started to fetch up our new armors. about six !!! this is what my garden looked like when my girlfriend came home from work: five of theses armors are for our Nova Squad. i´ve got my Nova Elite and now my friends had the idea to build all of the Novas and start a Squad. there will be other WIP´s here... But what about me? I have my Nova.... so i will build my Magma. Stay tuned to see more .... Greetings Philip

hi, in my opinion these ones look the best: https://www.etsy.com...oulder-pauldron i bought one from this vendor for my Nova Elite Trooper and one for my Magma Trooper. I can´t say any bad about these. i like them much !!! greetings philip

Thanks my friends !!!! I´m glad i´m a part of this "family" Now it´s time to collect some "dragons" greetings Philip

hi my friends, today it´s time to say many many thanks to all of you for your help and your advices on my Nova Elite build `cause I´M AN APPROVED NOVA ELITE TROOPER !!! Another TX is ready to serve for the empire !!! Greetings and again thanks Philip

hi my friends, after a few weeks spending more time on my NOVA here´s the latest front-view-pic.... the thights are smaller, the beltbox is changed, the shoulderbells are bended closer to the biceps and the ammo box on the right tight is fixed in the upper corners and not like before in the middle.... what do you think? are the changes enough to get approved? thanks and greetings philip

hi my friends, as you all know, my Nova won´t get approved without doing some changes (what i´m in for).... here are my "new" pouches: do you think they´re all right for a MP-40 pouch and a "roadblock-style"-one like written in the CRLs? please let me know your opinions about.... thanks and greetings philip

dear friends, what´s an Elite-Trooper known for? Right... NEVER GIVE UP !!! So i started to do the necessary changes.... stay tuned !!! greetings philip

dear friends, today i got mail...... my NOVA won´t get approved !!! this is what is wrong: -ammo-pouches on the shoulder and on the belt are "far away from the CRL"- they are "selfmade" -thights to big -biceps to big -tights fixed with rivets -gloves are wrong -ammo-belt on the right thight fixed in the middle not in the upper corners -shoulder bells to big -the covering of the biceps by the shoulderbells is not enough -mic tips on the helmet are no hovimicstips... -tube stripes are the wrong way (yes, that's right i guess *smile*) and : the whole armor is pulled to soft... the whole pic of the armor is wrong.... so, what to say..... GOOD BY APPROVED NOVA !!! all the work with cutting and painting again, especially the gold... there can´t be a new gold on some parts, i have to do ALL with new gold then. even if i do all the changes, the armor is still pulled "Softly" so why doing all these. i guess i had to buy a new armor for this. thanks for all your words and help, but..... greetings philip

the best help i got was here on the detachment !!! you all wrote really great words and answers how to get there where i´m now !! THANKS TO YOU ALL !!! i´ll make the pics and send them. i have nothing to hide about my NOVA ..... greetings Philip

got a Feedback from my GMO about my NOVA.... he wants to get new pics, ´cause on the pics he got (the same ones i posted here) he cannot see anything he told me !!! Toddo, how did you see all ? *smile* he also wants some pics of the belt and the helmet. let´s see how this will end .... greetings philip

thanks for the words friends !!! i decided to wait two more weeks and then i´ll write again to the GMO´s. Not to make them angry and ´cause of this waiting more longer...... (the guy i wrote to and me are not really that kind of "friends" since we got a little quarrel at an event ) greetings philip

i asked my GMO about 4 weeks ago if he received the new pics and he told me "one after the other". i guess i have to wait till the newbies are appoved and then will be looked for old ones....... i have to say that the GMO´s changed the last month and the GMO who first looked on my Nova isn´t GMO any more. Now there´s a new one...... thanks for all your suggestions and our words. greetings philip

five weeks ago i sent the pics to my GMO.... till today there´s no answer about i´m a approved NOVA or not ..... only three things were wrong i´ve been sending the pics the last time......and they are fixed now. did the other NOVAs took also so long to get approved? greetings philip

sory, two times written the same

@toddo: many many thanks for your words. i´m happy you like it !!! the pics are on the way for approval. i hope to get the Nova approved now, to present our detachment with a costume that looks like it should !!! again many thanks to you all for all the time and patience to help me. "black & white meeting" at a TFA-Event..... greetings philip

dear friends, here are the new pics of my NOVA ELITE..... ( we took them on a TFA-Event at a cinema here). It´s the "old" armor with a new backpack..... like toddo wrote: i hope you´ll like it and it will be everything OK for approval. if i get the OK from you, i´ll send the pics to my GMO´s. Thanks and greetings Philip

hi my friends, today i´ll post a pic of my finished backapck for my NOVA.... i know, the det-tube on the right is missing but the color didn´t came out like i wanted it too... here´s the result: i hope you´ll like it !!! @toddo: where´s the cup ?

@toddo: THANKS !!! i´ll do my best !!! greetings philp
