Hey Kirby, Anyone here that wants to post their build it is cool, no matter if you are a rookie or a vet.. That is how we help each other. If you are building a TE derived armor kit,( AP, TE2, ATA, etc.), just start a new build topic here:http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showforum=36 If it is anything other than TE derived, such as TM, AM, etc., start a build topic here:http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showforum=4 If you are doing a Heavy Weapons Trooper,start a build topic here: http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showforum=45 If you are doing a Stealth Trooper,start a build topic here: http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showforum=52 If you are doing a Incinerator Troopers,start a build topic here: http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showforum=54 If you are doing a Stormtrooper Commanders,start a build topic here: http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showforum=39 Etc...... Look forward to seeing your build, man. Have fun with it!

The E-11 in the pic looks to be a hybrid, closer to and ESB and some of the variations from ANH that did not have The Hengstler and power cylinders. If you want this to be more ESB style, then you will need to replace the ROTJ scope rail with a piece of flat iron, 1/16' to 1/8" thick by 3/8" wide. The flat iron will need to be long enough to span from the first vent hole to the rear scope. If you are want it to pass the EIB requirements then you will need to shave the muzzle and add a few greeblies to both sides of the gun and add a couple of greeblies to the scope rail. EIB Requirements - ESB Blaster : E-11 (used in promo pictures only) * Two greeblies on the left rear area * Three studs on the right rear area * Add two scope block greeblies * Remove front bayonet muzzle disk * Remove mag housing parts. * Remove D-Ring mount * Swoosh trim on right above the pistol grip * Reference image below As for the holster, it is missing a good chunk out of it. It can be patched or just replace the whole thing. If you are wanting to replace the holster, try here:http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showforum=16 there are several people that sell them.

To save time I just copied and pasted from here: ------------ But, you are correct about the armor and lid. The Armor was cast off of an ROTJ suit and retro back to ANH armor, and the lids from combo/hybrid of Brian R's and Dave M's original helmets.

FX or AFX...

AM and RT-Mod are going to be for larger size people. Most of the parts will have deeper draws to them and would need a lot of trimming/modifying for mainly your weight and still might not fit you as well. The original armor that was sculpted for and used in SW 4, 5 and 6 was scultped for an "average" size guy, about 5'10" or 177.8 cm and 160 lbs. or 11.43 stones. You're are spot on for the height. You are just a little under the weight for the size that the original armor was intended for. My advice is to get you some pizza and beer and chow down. I keed, I keed! Here is a few that should be closer to your size. Made with ABS: TM - 0.080 ABS fan sculpt. Reputedly the most accurate fan sculpt. UK AP - 0.080 ABS, untrimmed, ANH derived. Canada T/MC - 0.090 ABS, untrimmed, ANH derived. USA Made with HIPS: TE2 - 0.090 HIPS, untrimmed, ANH derived. Hawaii, USA ATA - 0.090 HIPS, untrimmed, ANH derived. USA Some have said that ABS is harder to trim than HIPS, but it is really up to the individual as to how much time and effort they want ot put into it. I wouldn't fret over which material that you get. There has been debates over which material Troopers like their armor made from. HIPS versus ABS has been debated like which brand of soda pop taste better, Pepsi or Coca Cola.

TOP NOTCH DAN!!!

Hey David, Stay away from ebay when it comes to armor. Most are recast or lying about what type it is....And you will be hitting yourself in the head If you are looking you great kits, look here: Getting Started - Read this First! If you want to see what SDS armor looks like, then look here: http://sdsprops.com/ But my opinion, Ainsworth wants TOOOOO! much for his suit, especially since it is not accurate. <_<

Ostrich egg Who woulda thunk I can see this as a new "HOW TO" They are pretty tough...I saw on TOP CHEF where one of the contestants had to make a dish using one of these. It took a handsaw to open that Flintstone egg....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK!!!! Hope you have a smashing good time mate.... :headphone: I made up a little something in celebration of your Birthday, enjoy...... Click on the link below: Mark's B-DAY CARD....

Have fun Steve! Make one top notch ESB suit, man!

Wicked cool! Between this and the trooper com (two way radio system that plugs into a romfx system) that Matt was talking about in post #4 at this link:--------- Trooping has got some cool electronics to play with.... If anyone gets one, don't let the seller know that you are using it for trooping. They will get the idea to state "GREAT FOR TROOPING", stick it into the Ebay SW TK armor/prop area and go up on the price...

No, it is not just you, Paul. A buddy of mine is a good friend of Christian Waggoner the Artist of the paintings "Stromtrooper" "Vader" "Greedo" "Boba". When he found out that Christian had been commissioned to do some paintings for LFL, my buddy, knowing that I was a big SW fan, showed me the article about Christian talking about his love of SW starting at a very early age. He was drawing his favorite SW characters and he felt that it catapulted him to become an artist. After awhile, my buddy arranged for me to meet him and see his finished work. After seeing them, I was rather disappointed in a few of them,(The Stormtrooper and Vader paintings). Since the Stormtrooper was rendered incorrectly for the ANH TK and the Vader wasn't the ANH Vader , but was depicting the duel between him and Obi Wan. Christian ask me what I thought about his work and did I think I would buy them. I told him I believe that he is a talented artist, and I loved the concept, but I didn't think he had done his homework, especially since he was a SW fan from the beginning, when it came to being accurate. For that reason, I wouldn't buy the Vader and Stormtrooper art. Believe me he wasn't happy with me not gushing over them. I know how someone who has put time and effort into a project feels when they receive harsh criticism, but most artist should have an eye for detail. Here is Christian Waggoner's art: Title: STORMTROOPER Title: VADER Title: Greedo Title: Boba

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TERRELL!!! Have fun man!! :headphone: ------------

WOW! TOP NOTCH BRO!!

I can envision it Mason..... And if it turns out like your flamethrower, then your E-web will be awesome I will have to book mark this topic...

Hey Rob, your are right... Anyone can have a bad pull..... But, the Makers that have a good reputation and want to keep it that way, will state "B stock" or "seconds with flaws" and sell them at a discount. Recasters already started off with flaws in their product... And the first flaw in their work is.. wait for it... they Recast <_<

Hey Steve, Have you tried contacting any of the others in the Bast Alpha Command staff? Out of all these people, one of them should be able to help you.....

Hey Steve, since the armor that you are working with was meant to be overlapping, but you need them to fit your thighs, then I think that what you have done in your pix are fine. After you get your cover strips overlayed I don't think you will notice. Since the tops don't match up, and you want to get the tops to have that finished look, then try doing what is in this "How To: Make thigh tops "ANH style" ----- Or you could do this, Overlap the front of the thighs ( like they were originally meant to be) and then add the shims in the back to give you extra room for your legs...
