Badmoon's Flametrooper build

[Badmoon1975[501st]]

Hello folks,

This thread is a way for me to document my TFA Flame trooper build. As I go along I will be editing this post to hopefully help anyone else that is trying to set up one of these builds themselves.

 

Helmet - Skygunbros Completed minus fans

 

Armor - KB (WIP)

 

Flamethrower - Merritt resin cast complete (looking for a 3dprint due to weight)

 

Fuel tanks = MLCFiberglass out of the Philippines

 

Boots = Imperial boots

 

Gloves = Imperial boots

 

Seals = ordered Guzman seals

 

Pouch = PB's pouch

 

Undersuit = Under armor, also using a tactical gun harness to help attach the fuel tanks and the armor

 

Hose = Electriduct 5 ft length 2 in wide

 

 

Updates as changes...

Awesome! Can't wait to see the first pics of your progress. Welcome, Reed!

[Badmoon1975[501st]]

Yeah I need to figure out a way to reduce the size of the pictures I have taken and post them on here

[toddo[TX]]

I recommend uploading them to Photobucket. Once there you just have to copy and paste the IMG code for each photo directly into your thread and Robert is your mother's brother.

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Yep, that would do the trick. There are also online photo resize tools and hosting sites. I use imgur which can resize the photo as you upload it and provides the img code similar to photobucket.

So here is an image I took of my helmet from SGB

Here is another helmet progress shot

 

[Badmoon1975[501st]]

The pic I installed a visor and I have painted the black lines. They are a little rough but I plan to use a thinner to clean up the trim.

 

[Badmoon1975[501st]]

And here is a pic showing how I mounted my padding and the visor. I still need to dark mesh to cover the mouth hole I carved and the side holes. I also am looking for a quality fan setup.

And here is unboxing my armor from KB. It is a great kit.

 

[Badmoon1975[501st]]

And here are my post clean up upper thighs. I plan to work the belly belt cod and butt plate so I can test fit all of those parts together.

 

[Badmoon1975[501st]]

And this is my flame thrower, more pics to follow to show my progress on it.

 

[Badmoon1975[501st]]

Here is the almost completed gun.

 

 

I used screws and epoxy to hold it together, took some planning to hide all the screws.

[toddo[TX]]

Well done. That ought to make it hold together well.

[Griffin-X[501st]]

I love the look of that flamethrower. It's super menacing...

[Badmoon1975[501st]]

<p>Hey guys been a bit, time for some more pics. I apparently need to scale them down a bit.

[Badmoon1975[501st]]

Here is the incinerator, all finished.

[Badmoon1975[501st]]

Here is my finished SkyGunBros bucket.

[Griffin-X[501st]]

Looking good Reed! Btw, I've updated your profile with 501st access.

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Looking very good, Indeed. Love the incinerator!

[EmpireJAG]

Coming along nicely Reed! What squad are you in with the SG? I'm in the NTX squad in the DFW area.

[Badmoon1975[501st]]

Sorry for the late reply, I am in CTX, San Antonio

[Badmoon1975[501st]]

More progress, assembly is almost done but painting is proving difficult.
