DizzyStormtrooper

i couldve sworn she got her numbers already...

My fx was put together with pvc glue, I was able to pry most of it apart with flat screwdrivers and the areas that were ruined or broke off I'd make new cover strips for

i thought you finished that already

or just trim the neck down...

until the clear is done I got nothin

Put the straps in the shins to hold them down before doing the boot thing, you might not need boot snaps

good luck with the weathering lol

i have these if you want them, the arms are gone but ill only charge for shipping if you want the torso. already resined and glassed

maybe mario can take pictures of where i put my snaps

tops of the thighs horizontally, use 2 inch black elastic. the butt, and maybe where the shoulder bells attach to the straps. those are the areas that have the most load. but bending the male ends of the snaps is important too so the other ones dont pop out easily, ill have to make a tutorial for that.

sure thing brother, i was gonna ask how everything fit, youve gotta post a thread with some pics so i can help you along

for scubacat and mc707 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Njarfbn9u8 idk how to embed the vid here but there ya go. also i just had to steal Sven's shadow pic for the thumbnail

the only other shot of the shield i could find was this which shows its chrome and not white. the pictures are all gigantic 3000 pixel beasts. ill see about cutting them up to show the details. i think the biggest problem we'll have is getting the legion to induct it as its not exactly canon.

it might be more proper in the expanded universe detachment since AA is the only "real" source (and that whole court thing stating he owns whatever about his armors and whatnot), but his backstory for it makes it more spec ops than just another TK floating in the "conceptual" universe. plus were limited to costumes as it is, you all know we could use the addition either way ive got an extra helmet thats gonna get shiny in the future.

if we get a crl going maybe we can get cfo to do runs of helmets (http://www.whitearmo...fisd-exclusive/), otherwise everything will have to be vinyl wrapped, like advertisements on vehicles. chrome vinyl is pricey but not a bank breaker for the amount needed. its hard to tell which lightsaber was used in the shots, but i have huge hd pictures i can screen cap. it looks to be either parkssabers fusion or ultrasaber etc, cant tell since the grip is covered. an episode 2 anakin saber could be used for basic approval and specialist would require the right black upper button and such as we get there. the shield looks white, but is chrome with gloss black things that have yet to be identified, the center being a simple dome, with an officer hat greeblie on top, and two blue, 1 white squares on the top right corner. helmets are anh stunt style, lenses could be flat for basic, bubble for specialist. traps and tears, tube stripes are either gloss black paint or black decals. frown and vocoder painted gloss black. holster is omitted, though a silver painted blaster can still be optional.

IIRC an approved costume has to have 3 references for it to be accepted into the legion. the crl for this would be a no-brainer. a little background on the shiny stuff: the lego version "Similar to LEGO's previous Star Wars minifigure promotions in past years, as with 2007's Chrome Gold C-3PO, and 2009's Chrome Darth Vader, this Stormtrooper is a standard minifigure coated in silver chrome paint. It comes in a ployester bag, which is very similar in packaging to the Chrome Darth Vader, only with a Clone Wars logo and design. As of February 2010, these are are limited to a production of 10,000, and are giveaways at stores that sell LEGO in Spain. They are included with a £34.99 purchase. It is unknown if they will become more widely available later in the year as with the Chrome Darth Vader" the gentle giant version Originally slated as a UK Forbidden Planet exclusive bust variant, the limited edition chrome Stormtrooper briefly made an appearance through the official Star Wars Shop online store. Calling this bust a United Kingdom exclusive, as the packaging indicates, is somewhat debatable given its US availability through the above avenue. The entire run consists of 2500 pieces, making availability extremely limited." AA's Metallic Stormtrooper "Back in 1977, when he was creating the armour and helmets used in the film, Ainsworth experimented with a metallic Stormtrooper. It was a difficult process that didn't see the light of day, but now he has perfected the process and the new generation of Stormtroopers is born." (this is reffering to the vacuum-metalizing process that c3po was painted with, and it REALLY is a difficult process. Bonus factoid, West Coast Customs is known for another process in which they chrome cars, 2 clear paints react chemically to produce a mirror finish.) well thats just fine and dandy. "thos'r just regular TKs painted chrome" you say, "so why should Spec Ops have it" you say. it has an acual background. "The concept behind the Metallic trooper is that its grown from conditions where elements other than carbon could generate life, metallic elements that are unknown to earth, but could produce impenetrable armour. This trooper also boats a reflective shield designed to counteract laser attacks from rebel forces." Griffin and Tej know i like to argue about stuff so here goes. our black armor is "blaster resistant" meaning it aint no regular one shot kill white armor. heres some big words for you. "laced with durasteel fibers which made them more resistant to physical as well as energy attacks when compared to standard stormtrooper armor" and "stygian-triprismatic polymer material used in the production of the armor". so this new shiny "impenetrable" stuff made of elements that dont even exist to produce chrome (chromium alloys on earth) would pretty much be stronger than what we got already. thats spec ops.

You forgot the ankles, id put lights inside the shin bottoms

I thought they got rid of the elastic? Maybe the crl hasn't been updated. The white is more specific than black or red versions. But I don't use it around the biceps like that anyway

That picture can't be trusted on the arms. The shoulders and biceps just go in the middle grove, I don't have any on my forearms. To get the shoulder bell from spinning or moving I test fit and put a snap on the bottom of the shoulder strap there. The bicep keeps it stable but you'll have to crimp the strap snap or it'll pop when you raise your arm

Shoulders, thigh tops, and bottom of the butt. But I haven't had problems with my singles set up. Just lightly crimp the male tops so the female ring holds better. Basically the snaps become harder to pop on but also don't come undone as easy

The post office is gonna love you!

I'd really recommend e6 it to the ends. I have Velcro in the back to secure the overlap, and the o2 can clips secure that. And its bolted to the ab plate. To put the torso on I open the belt from the back, open the side and clam shell it on.

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=310791382791 That. But for mine I used the extra abs on my kit and heat gunned it around to shape then glued it to the ends of the ammo belt.

Cool beans, ill be modding up a white suit until then

Well there's me, but i'm doing them with e6000 and sealing the backs like they should be so you have to step into them to put them on like the rest of us! Are you doing new shins too? And be sure to get some more spare material for cover strips
