I have the magma trooper battlefront version costume. Personally, i would prefer to retain the magma trooper for the red version but if its gonna be renamed, im okay with Crimson Stormtrooper.

Hi, return edges that impede mobility or impose discomfort in some areas of these armor parts can be minimized and still qualify for level 2. My only concern of maintaining the majority of return edges is that these parts does not look flat but with depth. Cheers.

Im good with the revisions and updates. Cheers.

I agree with both of you. As far as I know, when I played this game, no troopers used sabers. Heard about the cheat code but haven't tried it. For me its just weird to have troopers use sabers as weapons. Though FISD has included it in their two crls, I think we should just stick to blasters. That's my take on this. But definitely an awesome build @Fivezero. I'm excited for this!

Hi guys, I just added the T-21B heavy blaster reference image to my post. Thanks.

Hi Dorothy, I managed to pull a pair of drop boxes with a length of 5.5 inches. Just need to paint the rivets black and buff my plastic belt to make it look shiny like the drop boxes.

Ok Dorothy. From here i'll try to work in pulling a new pair of drop boxes with the given dimensions. Will post updates soon. Cheers

Hi guys! So before I proceed to pull a new pair of drop boxes for my Battlefront Shadowtrooper build, I would like to seek your help and I may need your vote on what dimensions should I go with in terms of proportion. (from left to right) WTF drop box is 2 inches X 4 inches, AP drop box is 2.5 inches X 4.5 inches, Option 1 is 2.5 inches X 5.5 inches (more or less size of an Iphone 6s) , Option 2 is 2.5 inches X 6 inches Option 1 Option 2 Please note that I am only using the AP drop box and plastic belt as my reference in measurements. Kindly help me choose by replying to my post. Thank you so much guys!

Another update. I have spoken with Dorothy and we agreed that there is a need to redo or make a longer drop box seen in reference photos. I have some spare abs sheet and before I start to pull a longer drop box, I managed to measure WTF's default drop box dimensions which is: I also measured my AP drop Box and the dimensions are the same as my MTK armor. So comparing both, the AP drop boxes are bigger and more proportion in terms of the plastic belt (Both WTF and AP plastic belts are more or less same in dimensions). I'm using the AP drop box as my reference in creating a longer one.

Look for 10mm or 8mm Rubber U-trim. It should not be more than the thickness of the brow trim of your stormtrooper

Hey bro, i sourced my edge trim online. Its abit hard to find these. Where do you plan to use it? Walt supplied me with the default set of parts. So for the other stuff, I did some research on where to get them. Cheers.

Ok lets proceed with the armor kit. I got my armor kit from WTF.
