  1. First dip into CAD and I feel like Ive got a good approximation of a muzzle break based on the screen grabs. The plug end fits into a 30mm internal diameter barrel shroud. I'll see about uploading the stl. Tomorrow I'll start working on the rails/ribs.
  2. With shoulders and biceps would it be safe to say these are Rogue one style storm trooper shoulders and biceps as a base? If so adding wording for the optional black strip on the left shoulder would be all that would be needed to add on those I think.
  3. I mean, it does when the material is neither of those... regardless I'm not debating the accuracy of the hat I have on hand, that can change. I'm working on the blaster no ones completed yet.
  4. Lol, you are vastly overestimating the quality of my hat.
  5. So I'm going about this backwards from what many have done. I've printed and have files for most of the hard parts and I'll grab cloth when I'm closer to done with all those as I'm pretty much fully 3d printing the hard parts. The backwards part is I'm diving into the blaster first as I'm a bit of a sci-fi weapons nerd and the prospect of having one of the first accurate ISB Tac blasters has me motivated. We already know the base is an MP40 (free files on cults3d for a mechanically moving mp40) and thanks to keen eyes on here we know the PDW stock used. We also know from Deamos's sources that the scope mount and barrel are custom. So with that knowledge I've dug into the screen caps for better images. From screen grabs I'm gonna call it about 10 inches on overall barrel length based on its relation to the MP40 (roughly the distance from front of the magwell to the front of the trigger guard). I'm going to use an e10 barrel I have file for as we can see it has the imperial blaster "ribs". It also happens to fit nicely over the mp40 prints chamber. We can also tell from screen shots that these aren't standard ribs like we see on the e11 e10 etc, they don't visibly curve into any holes in the heat shroud. I think from looking at it we can assume the front sight shroud is the one off of the mp 40 cut down. The tip is custom from what we've heard. Moving under after rewatching for my screen caps clearly it's a flashlight not a barrel, although I still think the mount near the end is the one off the barrel with the flashlight fitted in it so a thin pen light will be needed. I intended to lengthen an existing 4x20 scope unless a found item can be ID'd by the time I get to it. I know Deamos is working on a scope mount, so I'm going to see what he is able to come up with and work on a barrel cap and rails for the time being. Edit: Id include more pics (I have so many more) but it seems I'm at my limit of potato sized images... not sure if someone could help me with that.

  7. In regard to the blaster looks like they also moved the original barrel down flipped the front site post and used it as a brace to the shroud. Im not sure how much faith we want to put in the black series figures blaster but it doesn't look like a standard sterling or e-11 shroud. A clear set pic of this would be a god send. Are you using files or real world on the stock? I have files off my E-11D that just need the larger shoulder pad.
  8. Peeps over at RPF make a good case for Viper tactical VX chest rig
  9. While Im certainly open to offers, I get the size differance, this is not a kit you want badly.
  10. I'll preface that I recently moved to TN, but Ill pay the shipping.
  11. I went online and purchased nylon webbing. I used almost exclusively 1 inch but I probably should have used some wider bits for the suspenders on my torso. In terms of how much, its hard to say as Im pretty sure no two 501st death troopers are strapped the same ?. Certainly browse the forums and figure out the broad strokes of how to keep it on you. Some combination of velcro, "parachute clips", rivets, and snaps should work for you though.
  12. Hey Nick, Welcome. So as a person that went the same route as you're looking into (finished ASP for all my armor plates) I'll say this, fiber glassing the the backing on my parts I felt needed it was one of the quicker steps in my build. The strapping process took much longer and there really isn't a way to have that done before its in your hands. That said its fairly easy. Its really as simple as cutting the sheets to shape, mixing the resin, and painting it on and being careful to not have it drip on to the finish. All told it took a few hours, and when its 45min to suit up, thats not bad at all. Hope you stick with it which ever way you go, Death Trooper is a complex kit to but its quiet rewarding to have it on and stride out with it.
  13. Would likely be pretty tedious tackling the armor with a mini's scale airbrush (though I did use mine for the E11D barrel). Another option some have used is take it to a local automotive paint shop and have them paint it gloss black. That way you only have to mask and paint the alternating panels.
  14. Generally no (for sure no on Endorfinders) plates don't come with gloves, for a variety of reasons Im sure including the equipment needed and those gloves being common across several costumes Surprised what ever supplier / 3d file you're building off doesn't have them included with the main kit.
