kedg195 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 OK, just an update on the status of my Shadowtrooper build...we are working out some squawks with the leg armor and are now needing plastic sign material for the cover strips for the hind shin armor... I have found it at local signage and decal shops before but is there anywhere else I could find it? Some of the places I went to before have long gone out of business... also we acquired a utility belt for my drop boxes and hangers for the thigh armor too Gonna hopefully get started on the squawks and harnessing either tonight or tomorrow...also I acquired a thermal detonator that was no longer needed for a friend's TD, and all I've got to do is paint it jet black and get the appropriate hangers for it ...we also assembled my ammo belt to the black canvas belt I purchased recently...it's good to go and should work out nicely when the final fitting is done... I will update more as the project progresses Here's the utility belt for the dropboxes and thigh hangers"]http://[/url] Link to comment
kedg195 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Here's the thermal detonator I got from a friend of mine...I still have to paint it though and get proper hangers for it "]http://[/url] Link to comment

kedg195 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Ok...one more update before I get down and shiny (not dirty lol) I have got all my clamshell pieces (thighs, shins, biceps, and forearms) all put together...as it stands I have all soft parts and just need to make some tweaks...hopefully tonight after supper I will be able to take some progress pics of the full suit ...minus a detonator...I still have to paint it and get proper hangers for it (any suggestions where to get those?) Also I need to add another black cover strip to the back of my left shin armor and add Velcro strips...coming along quite well since I have my holster and trooping E-11 from my TIE pilot suit...shouldn't be too much longer now I'll keep ya updated...

toddo[TX] Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Great progress. As for the det clips, you can make your own quite easily from some aluminum from the hardware store if you have some tin snips. You can then bend to shape. Otherwise, Evilboy sells them: http://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/2177-fs-evilboys-screen-accurate-td-belt-clips/page__hl__%2Bdetonator+%2Bclips__fromsearch__1 Link to comment
DeathMOS30[501st] Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Awesome progress loving all the pics keep up the good work. Oh also once you get those clips done and attached to your thermal detonator a little hint put a strip of black velcro on the clips to keep it from scratching up your armor when you put it on your belt. here is an example.

kedg195 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Greeting fellow SpecOps troopers...well what can I say, it's been almost a year since I posted on this thread and I am still not finished with my Shadowtrooper. I have had lots of ups and downs in my life, so that's why I haven't made this project come to fruition yet. I will update as info becomes available to me...and progress will be posted. Thanks for looking guys and gals THIS PROJECT IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY AGAIN!! Link to comment
