Thanks...yes, I know the gloves are not so well in daily use.. ..but they are my favorit gloves for display cause they are damaged at some points..  But for real action , like climbing rocks, working with rope or heavier weapons, I use the better and longer(padded) kevlar version. Greets Watts |

The photo may be good for comedy value, but it really shows off how good your gear is. The attention to detail and amount of work that has gone into this is nothing short of phenomenal. Bravo sir!

You've got to love that pic. The grinning shark teeth make it all the better.
Happy birthday by the way!

Wow having just spent 1 hour reading through all of this... I think that with 1 being god-like, your current status is like this (∞ - 1)/∞ Wow it appears I am the first person to comment after you  Tip for the photomanip As is it is evident that both of your feet are on the ground and that you are stationary, as you have the baggage etc. at rest. Possibly try jumping from about 1-2 metres onto a thick mat (don't hurt yourself) and take a photo there (mid-jump), it should produce a much better result ;D |

Hehe..Thanks.... Jump...?  ...Never...the steel armour , the steel pump in front, the heavy helmet, steel gravchute on the back...I think there is no good end  If I get the time, I try to do some shots with hanging on a sling...but currently I had to much work. The pic was a fast done joke...not really achallenge ;D Greets |

As always, your gear is beautiful, I would give my firstborn (just joking) for a suit of your karskin armor.
Also, is this just normal steel you work with, or hardened steel? (will it stop a bullet?)

If that armour stopped bullets... Watts would be declared Tech Priest of the IGMB

spazmunke: "Also, is this just normal steel you work with, or hardened steel? (will it stop a bullet?)" Its standard steel, but the two sheets with distance of 10mm between gives a interesting result on the firing range . We use only pistols and revolver, the only gun was shotgun 12/76 with slug ammo. The calibers .22 /.38 Special / 9mm Para(Full metal jacket) /.45ACP /.375Magnum......did not penetrate the second steel sheet, only deformed. Only the S&W .50 Revolver and the shotgun penetrate it...  @beav: Yes...its fun ;D Walrus: ;D

Although looking at that It seems that the energy transfered into the steel plate would do enough damage without the added penetration of the bullet And to re-iterate what others have said, want. melta.  |

mikel: "what was used for the probes on the Servitor skull??" The inquisitor uses really medical probe glass tubes...filled with water of an waterhole in the forrest (contents some strange life ;-)! ) For the other questions look at obscurus cusades board, its more interesting if you try to do a lifesize equip. ;-)
