Boots ordered! (Imperial Boots)

Yesterday my HWT was finally approved! Here a few pictures: my Backpack (completely selfmade): my 3D-printed DLT-19 (self-assembled and painted):

Thank you, comrades - all of you! Come on then - I'm looking forward to your pictures! Oh, I'd no files... I'd only purchased the finished items, which I'd then assembled, sanded and painted.

Correct but if you copy the "BB code" link from Imgur you don't have to do any of that, it already has the IMG tags included, you just paste it into the post. Hey what ever works for people, our local forum is phpBB so we use the code and tags quite a bit, a bit old school but has so many more tools. Sorry for the derail, was just explaining there can be differences depending on what you use and how you use it

Hi all! My name is Paige and I'm a nerd residing in Nashville. My boyfriend is just about to get his first armor kit and I'll be helping him build/potentially acting as a handler if there's need for it, so I wanted to have access to the build guides and other resources around here. Someday I'd like to put together a Phasma build myself, but for the time being I'm just around to spectate. I look forward to learning from all of you!

Thanks! I’ll get right on it, thank you for the tip!

Thank you very much, I think I’ll use velcro then, maybe it’ll allow me to keep that front edge as well, since it is screen accurate. For the gaskets, the material is quite shiny, and the color is fairly dark, but if it is an issue, maybe I’ll give it a coat of black dye.

Gotcha! I have a printer myself and am on the hunt for good files. Hence the question. Great build, welcome to the Heavy ranks! Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Hey everyone! I apologize for the lack of updates, I injured my arm and it had to be splinted for the past few days, so I didn't get much work done, but here are the updates from before. Back/Yoke Here's the back/yoke, glued at the top. TIP: make sure to put lots of glue here, as this place WILL take a lot of stress. Also be sure to clamp it all down as well. Question: should the sides be glued or are they okay as it is? Shoulder Bells Glued in the connector pieces, looks pretty accurate in my opinion. I just eyeballed it, you can measure if you like as well. Gaskets I did pick up some gasket material, no templates yet, but I'm hoping to start working on them soon. And that is pretty much it. Until next time

Amazing work!

Congratulations Trooper.

Congrats! Nice work.

Nice DLT-19! What files did you use (or is it self-sculpted)? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Congratulations Trooper !

Nice job! Inspiration for me to finish mine.

Congratulations, those blasters and your full kit look amazing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I really do learn something new here every day... thanks for the heads-up!

Congratulations Andrew (Sly)

Congratulations trooper

Congratulations!

Hi there Not sure which state you’re in (I’m in VIC), but TDK Props gets my vote too. Tom’s a garrison mate so I’m probably a bit biased. Quite a few troopers in our garrison carry his weapons and they look great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Imperial Boots for sure, but with the new virus ravaging China their production might run in to serious delay.

The blaster image they show it appears to have mold lines down the back of the barrel BUT the parts image shows it to be 3D printed? Just be waring with printed blasters as they do require a bit of work to get rid of all the print lines. I would suggest staying with recommended suppliers, you'll find lots of threads on blaster makers. For down under you could try TDK Props https://www.facebook.com/TDK-Props-537706609725029/ Some other threads:

Unfortunately I've not found anything local that is similar. You'll notice the one you have found is not an S but a C (or U) ------------ Here are some comparison S trims and also a great thread here https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/41006-source-for-s-trim/

Great news trooper, congratulations and welcome to the ranks

Congratulations and welcome to the Legion.

Congratulations Trooper, Welcome to the Legion !!! Enjoy being a Bad Guy Doing Good

Just bought a Husky 22 inch Connect Rolling System Tool Box and the wheels are the same size as Husky 37 inch Mobile Job Box and the 35 inch mobile job box. Great idea and THANKS!! Definitely will need 2 sets in near future.

Congratulations and welcome to the Legion Trooper

You could possibly remove the additional pieces, and replace them with longer side pieces that under lap both the kidney plate & the abdomen plate. Make the side pieces long enough, so that the abdomen plate overlaps the side pieces by 2-3” both sides. Glue the longer additional pieces to the kidney plate. Bend a curve in the longer side pieces so that they wrap around you torso. Then the abdomen plate sits over the side pieces.

Really could do with a little heat, because the extra pieces you have added are flat and not curved they will stick out.

Hello Matthew, Welcome to FISD. I am also a saber builder, would love to see what you are working on. Have fun here!

If it’s just the R1 TK helmet you’re looking to create seek out Nico Henderson’s amazing 3D file. It’s not listed in the vendor section here but you’ll find him on Facebook. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
