Magma DeathMOS

[DeathMOS30[501st]]

I got my armor yesterday

 

 

 

I have my work cut out for me for sure.

 

I did find a wonderful tutorial on youtube and also have been researching and reading beforehand hopefully this goes smoothly.

This is my first armor build.

 

 

Wish me luck. I will continue to post more photos of my progress.

Well, good luck! Congratulations on getting the red ABS for a magma, very few can claim ownership to such armor!

Congrats on your setup! It looks like you are off to a great start!

Great Kit, and with a bit of polish after everything is built what might look slightly pink in the picture turns into a mirror finish blood red. A Magma is a thing of beauty.

 

Just take your time and you'll end up with a fantastic Costume!

 

Splatt - Correct me if I'm wrong but Magams are the best, right .

Thank you everyone for the well wishes I will definitely update on my progress and hopefully provide better quality pictures. I was using my cellphone and its an older model. Next time I will use my digi cam and natural sunlight.

 

I am hoping to gather the tools and get started sometime this week. Still finishing watching a amazing tutorial I found on youtube

 

Thank you all and hope to upload some progress pictures soon.

[DeathMOS30[501st]]

I agree magma's are the best

[DeathMOS30[501st]]

Some work I did on Saturday night/early morning. I am hoping to complete the helmet today I broke one of my tools so I had to stop

 

 

 

The pics came out okay seems natural light is the way to go.

Hello

 

Here are two pics of the work in progress for the DL 44 I used a airsoft gun and doopy doos modifiying kit.

 

 

 

Just need to drill that lost hole glue and paint

 

I will post pictures of the finished product for the DL 44

 

Magma troooper pics hopefully this weekend as well. Been trimming and cutting still need to get another tool though, but at least making some sort of progress . I am shooting for the end of the month to have it all done which I think is possible.

[DeathMOS30[501st]]

does anyone know how many Magma Troopers there are in the 501st? Seems like we have very few compared to a lot of the other costume folks in the 501st.

[Master Tej]

A very few. Not quite sure of an exact number though. Less than 20, perhaps?

But of course!

Even though this picture is not of me (I believe it's FLY JEDI) it shows off the awesomeness that is Magma.

 

This one is me.....

 

On the legion roster it only shows 8 Magmatroopers. How many are active is probably another story. It's definitely an attention-getter and (from personal experience) has been known to steal some of Vader's thunder at events. BOO-YAH!
