Left forearm The left forearm has a more shallow inner elbow cutout than the right that is slightly curved inwards.

There is another box mounted to the raised section that has a sloped edge running from the rail surface to the box 'face'. The box face has a single black rectangle towards the front outer edge.

complete Sithtrooper Helmet - Draft CRL Development Discussion
nanotek replied to nanotek's topic in CRL Discussion Archive
As far as I can tell the brow is extended much the same as the Deathtrooper helmet. With this new pics I think we have a complete view of the helmet now and should be able to finish this CRL. With reference to the pills in the brow, as far as I am aware we are looking at the same bucket from the Anovos stand. It's possible the angle and focus are not allowing you to see those details. But they are clearly seen on the earlier photos provided by @gmrhodes13 -

complete Sithtrooper Helmet - Draft CRL Development Discussion
nanotek replied to nanotek's topic in CRL Discussion Archive
Thanks Dennis! For the face plate, I think if you look at the following image you can see how it is separate from the snout and also separate 2 halves. As a personal note, it would also make sense that these are moulded separately so as to make assembly easier. Some cleaner closeup shots of those ribs on the snout would be good. I cannot tell if they are rounded or squared? How did you get the measurement? I agree with the last comment that it would be the same width, would love to get a real world reference next to these objects. We also need to collect some of the other data from the rear and around the sides. Anyone want to help? LOL -

Wook’s DT Build (850 ArmorWorks and Armoryshop)
nanotek replied to wook1138's topic in Imperial Death Trooper
We removed SpecOps from Tapatalk in may due to a host of issues, the browser version of this site is much better to use anyway. I also noticed that the images don't always load on the first go and I have a sneaking suspicion that it's related to how the software handles large images which I will look into. Keep up the good work, it's a tough build but worth it -
Hi there, welcome to SpecOps. There's quite a bit resources here to help you with your build. The biggest factor with the Deathtrooper build is money, it is expensive and depending on the route you go can be a lot of work (and time). Be sure to do a lot of research and ask questions! We are here to help I bought a raw 3D printed kit from ArmoryShop which was a lot of work but the end result is amazing. I have done over 50 troops in it and only ever had to make minor repairs. Because I did all the finishing work myself I am able to repair and repaint it without having to pay extra

As others have stated above, get the files from Tom, those files you posted have serious innaccuracies. https://www.facebook.com/TDK-Props-537706609725029/

There has been a few more higher priority items to clear out. Is there anything specific you are looking for or would like to add?
