SANDMANxGB's Deathtrooper Build Thread

Mate your work is awesome. Excited to see more. The smaller version you speak of maybe doing...Think it could work for a 5ft11" trooper?

 

Definitely should brother!

 

Nice work! I'm haven't been all that interested in full armor but this armor is making me rethink that decision:) The scope on the SE-14r looks a little too high to me. Should that be lowered a bit closer to the barrel?

 

I'll upload photos of everything so let me know if you do decide to jump on board. And as for the sidearm I lowered it and did a couple more modifications to

Hello guys!

 

Another update for ya! I did some more fine-tuning on my bucket. I'm super happy overall now. I modified the snout vents and widened the hole for the LED on the Spectra Sensor to fit a 5MM LED. Here's a couple renders!

First let me say that Rogue One was the best Star Wars movie I've seen in a LOOOONG time. Best thing to happen to the franchise.

 

Moving on! I've finalized my armor and helmet. I've literally went through 70 versions to fine tune this to get it close to perfect, however, I'll still fix some things by hand. The helmet dome has been modified for the last time, I added a slot under the dome by the eyes (similar to the Shoretrooper slot). It's present on screen and on the Anovos bucket. The armor has been appropriately scaled to the right size and I also remade the forearms. Lastly, I added a battery compartment inside of the spectra sensor for the LED.

 

I also received my GRYFFON CR4 chest-rig that I'll be dying black. (black isn't available anywhere except for a Canadian seller that said it's sold out, and all the available ones of any color are discontinued) The GRYFFON CR4 seems to be closer to the screen used version in my opinion and requires less modification than the Condor, but both are the best options.

 

Printing to begin tonight!

No worries Woodo007! I bought Rit Dye (standard) everything dyed black aside from the mag pouches themselves and straps. I'll be trying Rit synthetic and will get back to you on what it looks like finished.

My blasters are now complete! Printing has begun and will be on going. I'll be updating you all on the progress

Fantastic work so far!!

[Woodo007[TX]]

Just checked and my chest rig was shipped on the 24th. Just a waiting game. Are you using real G3 mags? U.K. is so limited. Found a U.S. page where they can be bought for under $5 each but no way I can import them

Awesome work Oliver, the render pics are looking spot on.

 

Hopefully you have your printers up and going soon.

 

Really looking forward to the rest of your build.

 

Cheers Tom

Sure do! All armor has been printed and about half of the armor is painted. My E-11D is awaiting paint as well. The last pieces of the puzzle are my plates for the chest rig, SE-14R and grenades which should all be done printing by today or tomorrow morning. I've completed my helmet minus the lenses that I'll be installing this week and I've found an awesome way to install lights which i'll be sharing soon. If all goes well my DT Specialist will be done by this weekend. I've also received my ribbed shirt and will be sewing my pants and added pieces to the ribbed top.

 

I'll provide more photos in the coming days.

 

Here's some photos!
