TX Shadow Trooper WIP - Kit from WTF - Andys Build


Recommended Posts

Do you guys work with the GMLs for the initial approval process, ie: 501st approval and TX number? i know that i have to submit pics to the local garrison. but do they reach out to you for secondary approval since its Spec Ops? or do you gents only get involved for the Specialist approval??

All basic approvals will go through your garrison. Specialists (higher levels of approval) are done here on the Spec Ops site.

I noticed over the weekend while testing the fit that im running into 2 issues that i have to fix before i submit pics.

 

1) Thigh Armor is pulling down on ab plate too much., Currently the Thigh Armor is being held with snaps under the Ab plate.

Solution, im going to have to fab up a TK-Belt to hold up the thighs.

 

Saw some folks make these for their TKs

2) Shoulder Canvas Strapping pulling towards the Shoulder Bells. Currently the Shoulder strapping is made of 2" canvas.

Solution, Rob Kittell from Imperial Issue made me 2 Canvas Straps with plastic inserts. Essentially 2 Mini Belts that ill incorporate these. The Plastic inserts in these will keep the strapping from pulling.

 

 

 

Belt is all set. Started off at Joann Fabrics and got the following

Completed product. This one is a 1" belt with 2" Thigh Extensions.

Im going to make a 2" belt with 2" Thigh Extensions as well to test which is better and more comfortable.

So i was waiting on my Darman Props Neck seal and it just came in and also finished off the DoopyDoos e11 blaster. Here it is, let me know your thoughts.

 

Screws and bolts replaced with real ver. Blaster painted in Satin Black with Dry Brushed Silver tones while the Scope is painted in Satin Black with Brass Tones.

Trigger is functional and cocking bolt / mechanism is home made and functional.

 

Oh and i made the stand too ;0

Congratulations! Question for you, what happened to the pauldron?

 

I wanted approval without the Pauldron so the GMLs could see the suits shoulder strapping etc.
