hello my friends, after posting the basement-boxes here´s a pic of the boxes which will be attached above ..... please feel free to tell my your opinions but i guess the measurements will fit this time.... thanks and stay tuned for more philip

@JerryT: yes, i think we both have the same frame. thanks for the pics !!! here´s a pic of my new boxes: like written before, they are 7cm less in the width to look better on a small Nova more to come, stay tuned !!! greetings philip

i´m happy the measeurments are all right know. the paper-boxes are just to check the fitting of the new size. they will be replaced by some abs-ones. @toddo: yes, the work starts again... but the more you build, the better it gets !!!

hi my friends, after sending the pics to my GMO for approval i was told "the backpack is to big for you" !!! So i decided to start a new one..... this is the first pic of the new one, the baseframe is the same as the old one but the boxes are 7cm less in the width and 5cm in the hight as before. Now i guess it will get the right measurements for me. any advices or opinions about the new one and my "plans" please feel free to tell my all you´re thinkng of .... thanks !!! greetings philip

@toddo: i guess i can stop thinking about a solution.... that´s a great idea !!! a friend of mine gave these "rubber floor plates".... used in the industry. one of these solutions will work. but know i can go on. pics will come soon, next weekend there´s an event i´m going to wear my TX the first time. so stay tuned !!! again thanks and greetings philip

@toddo: yes, after watching the pics i decided to attach the ammo box more on the left. it isn´t any more in the middle. at the bottom of the backpack i mounted a strap from left to right, not to get the backpack scratching of the color of the armor at the butt. i guess a little bit to "strong".... perhaps i´ll get an other idea to avoid this. i´ll think about it the measurements of the backpack are these of a TD backpack.. i took them from the backpack of a friend. it was hart enough to find some boxes for the basement .... greetings and thanks for the comments philip

today it was time to take some pics of the finished Nova..... what do you think about ? greetings philip

dear friends, today i finished my backpack..... ok, i´ve forgot to fix the small plate on the tube on the right... but this will be done easy. Here´s the result: i hope you like it !!!! (and the backpack is not that small like it seams in the pic.... it´s worn by my girlfriend, a "lifesize" jawa ) the next days i´ll get the chance to get pics of the whole armor ..... so stay tuned !!! greetings philip

hi my friends, after finishing the armor i started building my backpack.... the first box is made... turning from this: into this: the second box (at the bottom of the backpack) will be made in the next days. so stay tuned for more and feel free to tell my your opinoins about my work. thanks and greetings philip

hi my friends, sorry for not beeing here for a long time but work took all my time the last weeks.... but now i can show you some new pics of my further progress with my Nova Elite. so far so good? please feel free to write your opinios...... thanks !!! greetings philip

@Darth: i hope not !!! while masking is looked that i got the same wide everywhere.....

dear friends, yesterday i was playing with some color ..... and here´s the result: helmet with gold stripe and biceps and forearms: today i hope i can finish the helmet, means fixing the areators etc. hope you like my work so far. the handplates and shoulders are in work (means getting their color). stay tuned to see more !!!! greetings philip

hello my friends, thanks for all the "welcome-back"-words.... i have to say the Nova Elite is a sideprojekt for me... i´m doing this one while waiting for my Clone Armor to build my Commander Fil. but here are some pics of my progress so far: the helmet with pauldron: some parts while getting their color: and my friends are watching my doing...... *lol* next step will be the gold stripes .... so stay tuned and feel free to tell my all your opinions about the armor so far. greetings philip

Hi friends, a long time i havn´t been here.... but like the terminator said: "i´ll be back"... and so i am i started to build a Nova Trooper Elite for me. Sorry, pics will come as soon as i´ll get my new camera (the old one doesn´t work any more after a bath).
