Paintings done, I think it's in a good place compared to what we see on screen. 3D with aluminum tube, bar, and bars, as well as hardware. Not sure if anyone's done some diving into what slings are being used, or if it's just the same web most of the imps use. I'll attach that once we do some digging and I start on soft bits. Looking forward to see what Deamos is able to do with more found and less printed parts.

Firstly, thanks. I was in love with this kit since we saw it in the teaser trailer. Its been a joy to be one the leading edge of making this. And yeah, I went aluminum bar for my struts so I could drill it without a press and bend it without having to use a blowtorch. I'll be looking into combining what we've cobbled together into a single file, as the MP 40 I used is far more complex than it needs to be for this build, and so I can model everything I've been drilling into it.

Here is one round of bondo and sanding, gonna give it a touch up in some rough areas add the remaining hardware and then start slinging paint. Need to figure out what kind of sling is used after that.
-
I see what you mean now. I still think its being kept of the main body by some struts, we can see those here But I think you're right that the top barrel is still using its mount hardware on a picatinny. This is what I think we are seeing, and I hate it as a way to mount a scope. Here's my mock up. Pink being the picatinny in question, right side pink is a more printed friendly version I'll likely use.

IRL soldiers modify gear all the time, overseas the vest we got had kevlar necks, shoulders, crotch, we stripped them down to pretty much plate carries to make them more comfortable to wear all day. I'd imagine they are trying to show that this unit is highly specialized. -
Good catch. For some reason my MP40 didn't have one so I've mocked one up real quick. Some other info I'm seeing new in this, the front holes behind the silver but look to have E11 style "C" greeblies on both sides. Looks like they reversed the MP40 sling attachment point on the front or at least have it in a similar place. The stock has the rear sling point. Im not sure that bit on the front of the scope is. You can see it on another before they enter, but it's clearly missing from others, and it's not on any of them in the hallway scenes. Maybe part of the stunt versions? I discovered that the side rails appear to be in three sizes. The front short rails are two long for the rear as I'm assembling (pics below, rear should in line with other rails), and closer inspection of earlier pictures in this thread seem to support it. I've got new shortened one's printing. (3rd post has links to all my files btw. barrel, rails and mounting brackets are about to be updated.)

Test fitting the scope mount I think the struts needs to be under not over the bracket (which makes more sense looking at it now) I'll more than likely replace the struts with metal once I have them figured out to avoid wobbly scopes. Over all here is what I have so far. For the extra long 4x20's I've used the SE14 files over on whitearmor.net to get the ends and the knobs and roughly 13cm (I'll verify this once I'm back at my table) of .75 inch aluminum pipe to extend it. On my hit list: -Need some metal rods for the stock -A pen light for the under barrel (the one in the picture doesn't look right). -Hardware for the mount and any open pin/screw holes on the print. I plan on having some bondo and sanding on it by Sunday.

Fair enough, Im down for it. -
Working on the attachment point for the scopes looks like a strut attaching near the middle or upper middle of portion attaching the scopes together. I'm going to be using two struts. I wasn't able to catch a shot that shows more than one but given the thickness of them even made of metal I don't think one would be secure. As far as it attaching to the body of the blaster we can see a rail mounted to the side in line with the take down pins. I'll go ahead work on these next.

Unless I'm mistaken googles and epic stash are the only unique ones. Everyone else is full armor and hat, chest rig and black stripe being the variation. This CRL is also stated to be the regular ISB Tactical Agent. That said I'm fine with optional hat goggles and right shoulder being included but we would likely want to word it so no hat must have chest rig and black stripe and that googles, and missing shoulder bell go together, as to avoid anachronistic combinations. -

I noticed that as well but figured that was more of a character variant with him being the only one and also the only one with goggles. -
Here's what Ive come up with for rails. Initially I was going to have the rail "skirt" go the full length of the rail just like current imperial blasters, but from the above picture it seems to just be at the ends. Ive gone ahead and printed both and mocked both up for comparison. from the photos we have its looking like six rows with space on the top and bottom for the front site and mount for the flashlight respectively. After seeing them on the e10 barrel I think we can say with out a doubt its not e11 style. I've got a tube printing now with the one hole on the front we can see in the screen caps.
-
Honestly with this pic if it has holes it's not as many as the e11 if any. That said it gives us a very clear view of the rails. I'm going to fit them on the e10 barrel I have and if it looks off I'll go ahead and cover/fill/print without. Honestly I'm not sure which mp40 file I got, I tend to hoard stl's and forget to source them, we'll keep comparing notes. The tips one I made in CAD, DLT-20 is close but with what we see it's not what they used. I'll be providing links to all the bits I'm making (at least while we all figure this beast out) on thingiverse but I need to wait 24 hours before I can post as my accounts new.
-
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.

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. -
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.
-
Lol, you are vastly overestimating the quality of my hat.

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.

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.

While Im certainly open to offers, I get the size differance, this is not a kit you want badly. -

What are my best options for a Finished kit
Diet_Evil replied to MKE-Trooper's topic in Imperial Death Trooper
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.
