They are comfortable, hard wearing and require no modifications

Yep the Imperial Boots are great. I've been trooping mine 50+ and they're holding up fine

Wook’s DT Build (850 ArmorWorks and Armoryshop)
nanotek replied to wook1138's topic in Imperial Death Trooper
My flashlight mount was part of the blaster kit from Tom. I just used CA glue, has never come off Just some notes: Not that this matters for approval but the magazine on the blaster seems way too big? When strapping in the SE-14r to the little leather strap, you want to make sure that the long strap wraps around the scope mount, otherwise you might find it on the ground or dangling. For the side pieces you are missing, you can either cut some black ABS to shape, or use a piece of thick rubber as I have seen others do. If you need help with the shape I might be able to provide you with a pattern. -
Death Trooper (ROU) - Thread Contents
nanotek replied to marktoots's topic in Imperial Death Trooper
Issue has been fixed, apologies for the wait -
Hi there, you're doing a fantastic job! I agree with @Chaos regarding the pics, it will definitely help to be able to see everything clearly, will need to be able to see the boots, pouches, leather pouch and holster. Here are some quick observations! The biceps don't quite look right in terms of shape, but they could be shifted up a bit so that they sit better under the shoulder. The pants look a little baggy from that back pic, if you can take them in a bit so that there is no bunching that will help Keep up the great work

I only know that Tom Cambell has the 3D files for the Deathtrooper. You would have to buy the whole set, but then it's stl files not autocad, so not useful for CNC Routing. I can draft them up close to accurate, but I have a full roster of activities and require time, so cannot tackle it immediately
-
Given some time I could probably draft something up. I have a few projects on the go at the moment. How much of a rush are you in?

Hey Geoff I didn’t line my armour, I just made sure it was smooth on the inside to prevent wear and tear. Yes there is a lot of sweat, so by not lining it you can simply blast the armour with a hose. You will never get rid of the plastic clanking sound unfortunately. I have put some felt in strategic places to help stop wearing out the paint job as quickly. I think if you add felt to the entire inside of the armour you will end up adding more weight and smell. I hope that helps
-
Awesome! Love 000. Will be great to have another one.
-
Wow! That looks amazing! I'm not fully up to play with the requirements for the Flametrooper, but I think you look on point! Good luck with your approval! Fantastic job mate!
-
Looking really great! You’re making fantastic progress on this!

Here’s the link to his Facebook page for TDK props. You can message him direct through there I have both his blaster kits and they are superb! TDK Props

Can you paint armor red to make magma armor?
nanotek replied to Zugor's topic in Miscellaneous Tips and Tricks
The CRL states: “The armor parts shall be gloss red and made from one of these types of materials or like materials: Fiberglass, ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), or HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene” So I think as long as the paint you use is gloss red you should have no problem. You may need to do some colour matching on the red, and you will likely have to clear coat to give the finish some durability. Please bear in mind I am not an expert in the Magma costume! @DeathMOS30 maybe able to provide more accurate assistance -
Both of those guys are reputable sellers. You can also purchase blaster kits from Tom Campbell @ TDK Props on Facebook. That is where I got mine

Tommy's DT Blastech E-11D Blaster build
nanotek replied to TommyC1138's topic in Imperial Death Trooper
Yeah. Those will do fine! -
You can go to TDK props on Facebook, message him there

It also depends on where the kit is coming from in terms of accuracy. Tom’s files are the most accurate to date. My kit is 3D printed (my bucket Anovos), I have reinforced the armour with Fibreglass in certain areas, have trooped it over 40 times without serious incident. It is strong enough for me to run, sit and well... troop. In terms of weight, because I didn’t fiber the whole kit, it is still very light. So pros: lightweight, accurate, durable (if you build it right) Draw backs: lots of sanding and prep work, smaller items can break (but easily fixed). Regular spruce ups are required on the paint job. Do not underestimate the level of effort and cost of this build. You will get called Darth Vader Good luck with the build!

You’re doing a great job. Keep it up
-
As far as we can tell, yes. It’s on alternating parts, so not symmetrical
-
So far I have only noticed it in sections of armour. Not all lines. We will continue to work on these guides in the meantime
-
Sorry for being silent. I don’t know exactly what the changes are in the software or what the default system settings are. The rule for all the forums has always been use an external image provider though. This helps to keep the storage overheads at manageable levels I’ll do some digging around when I get a chance.

Looking really good Nick! Keep it up!
