Already am a part of it, but thanks for the info! I'll continue to upload my progress as I go.

Indeed we need more Death Troopers. So far in the GGG, I think I am the only member working on one. Is there a specific section I should be looking at for 850 armor builds or just pursing the forum till I find what I need? Last thing I want to do is tear my hair out over some plastic. xD

Hello folks! While this build thread was started in November of last year, I am doing a more in depth revamp starting as of today (6/29/2020) for future troopers and in hopes to get folks inspired to build their own Death Trooper. As normal, I have my build list listed below as well as the vendors I got my equipment from, even down to the various decals/stickers. The list as it is currently below is the now more up to date of what the finalized build ended up being and I will even still include some of the learning curves I learned along the way. The route I went for this build involved 9 different vendors. For all the various parts. The armor pieces and the helmet come from 850 Armor Works and since working on several clone trooper related costumes, I was familiar and equipped to work with ABS and having done my share of helmets, the resin casted helmet from 850 also was fun to work on. Do note take note that there's a lot of love and work that needs to go into this kit to make it accurate to the films, but it is one of the cheaper kits out there. There some modifications that need to take place as well as completely re engineering some parts, so, take that as you will for getting into this build with this particular armor. The 850 kit also comes with other additional accessories, all of which for the most part I intentionally replaced. The 850 belt, arm missiles and shoulder+side buckles that comes with the kit just didn't match the quality standards I was looking for and thus they were not used for this costume, the detonator and corrugated rubber for the belt on the other hand were used. The belt accessories like the pouches, ammo boxes, and belt buckle, the left arm missile mounts, both the shoulder buckles and side buckles I purchased from The Plastic Arms Dealer. Note, you're gonna have to get the rubber bands for the left forearm from PAD or another vendor anyways as 850 (at the time of this build thread) does not sell the bands. The side arm holster I made from scratch and leather pouch was bought by a fellow leather maker on the DT build group on Facebook, however I am going to be making some as well, offering up my skills. The inside helmet rim lining and canvas fronts to the belt pouches are from Armor Works and the lighting system in the tusks and neruo scanner is from UkswrathsSpeciality found on Etsy, (he also makes a stellar sound system which I will be getting soon enough). My undersuit is from the Dark Side Closet, tailored to my body, but I do plan to do some small alternations to fit it more snug. The boots plus spats are from Imperial Boots, and the gloves are from Endor Finders. All 3 blasters that I end up with for this build (yes I am wielding all 3), the DLT-19D, the E11-D and the SE-14r side arm come from PremierProps on Etsy, whose PLA 3D printing is top notch and I have several blasters from them. I cannot recommend their shop enough and the shop has several build videos as well as good visual instructions, plus their turn around for blasters is superb. Those blasters come as raw kits and need to be assembled and filled in then painted, something I will get into later in the thread. Lastly, there are decals for the SE-14r and E11-D come from ChaosTrooper, also from Etsy.
