looking good! be sure to come back and apply for EIB after you are cleared

its looking great! just waiting for the rest of the photos

very nice!! i have one half built myself... well i started it anyway

did you pay up front??? if not order from another maker. 5 months seems a bit much for a just a helmet

the details in the game are lacking a little, and i have been unable to locate the blaster texture file in the game database. in the artwork i have seen, the stormtrooper blasters appear to be ESB style??, and in game-play this is only evident from the blasters tip (but even that is hard to see in good detail)so untill i can gather a bit more data here is some info i have collected here is the cover art with the best veiw of the blaster i can find ----------- but on the other hand... the only other E-11 in the star wars universe seen with an extended stock was the E-11B the E-11b on endor The BlasTech E-11b blaster rifle was an expertly and expensively modified version of the standard issue blaster rifle used by the Imperial stormtroopers during the Galactic Civil War, which were modeled after the DC-15 series used in the Clone Wars. These weapons were often found in the hands of Rebel troops, namely those in the Battle of Endor. The original BlasTech E-11 blaster rifle was powerful and light, and nigh innumerable due to its use by the Imperial forces. However its inaccuracy and overheating were listed among the item's drawbacks. Modified by skilled Blastech and SoroSuub armorers who defected to the Rebel Alliance, the Blastech E-11b's main changes were the addition of expensive cooling units, making these weapons less likely to overheat at higher fire rates. The basic E-11 and modified E-11b were 438mm long with the folding stock folded, though the E-11b was usually seen extended. Unmodified, the E-11 weighed 2.6 kilograms. The power cell housing opened on the left side of the action housing, above the trigger, giving it a low profile. The original E-11's plasma gas cartridges allowed for over 500 shots, while the powercells lasted for about 100 shots, depending on setting. Whether this power cell or cartridge life was extended for the modifications made to create the E-11b is unknown. so personally i think both ESB and ROTJ styles could be used, the extended stock is really the only definite TKC unique detail that sets it apart from the other types. but IMHO the ROTJ E-11B is a better choice

modge podge will work fine, i use the spray on type without issue (coated most my armor with it). but for a small area the brush on should work fine ----

impressive collection

here's another idea... get some elmers glue (the washable kind) its called school glue , TP and some cheap Halloween makeup.. if your armor is ABS try applying elmers glue to a section of the armor, then apply makup effects onto the glue. use the TP to simulate battle damage by gluing a few clumps here and there and apply black makup. when done just peel off the dried elmers glue. just an idea so test it out on a small area first

wrap up some of the armor with dirty and bloody bandages or cloth?

i little more info if you are planning to make a bazooka some approximate measurements printable templates for barrel vents, handle and octagon parts. you can bevel the 2 rear octagonal parts with a 45 degree angle. suggested minimal tools needed to make a bazooka jigsaw drill rivet gun dremel hot glue gun other suggested materials epoxy crazy glue spray paint and primer sandpaper printable transparency (for scope details)HERE

i moved the game texture files to this thread as well (from the PC version)

more from BF2, i did some enhancing on these

fantastic! another easy pass.. just cant see the D-ring on the blaster

i finally got the highest possible quality playstation 2 screens done i see a lot of new details that i was unable to see before. this was a lot of tedious work to get raw screen grabs from the emulated PS2 system on my PC. the PC version of the game is lacking in a lot of details that the PS2 version has these images are from battlefront 2, i will grab some from battlefront 1 as well. more to come

very nice! and an easy pass could you provide an action shot for your EIB profile page? that is not in front of the black curtain (that will make it much easier for the photoshop team)

good job on the TD fix! everything appears to be in order, Approved! and great work trooper!

hope you get well soon i know pneumonia is no walk in the park

mine are filled with ridged foam (blueboard insulation) and have closed backs, they really don't have that hollow sound and are very light

i used 3" thin walled PVC, but the thick stuff looks better IMO and you cut away about half the bulk.. but it requires a more heavy duty base weapon

normally i use airsoft but i didnt have time to order one, so i used some no name space pistol from Kmart it was the only one that had a grown up size handle (only the handle/trigger section) the stock and barrel are all scratchbuilt, then about 100 glue-sticks later i had a flamethrower

i cranked this one out in an afternoon, i needed a new one fast for an event Friday i just went crazy with the glue gun and threw a ton of greeblies on.. its got parts from a laptop, PlayStation, xerox machine.. and air conditioner it has super lound sound, lights, a laser pointer/spotlight and illuminated scope..... but i pretty near destroyed my workshop in the process i miss my old one, but this one will do for now

this is just a collection of different references and templates, the mg 34 dlt-19 templates are in this file you just need to look for them also plenty of other dlt-19 references as well.. -------- note: there are mods done to some of these for different pipe sizes but they are labeled

another i just did for a garrison mate the brains are squishy lol

you can do anything you like on the inside of your helmet.. except perhaps smoking during events i used truck bed liner and pads from a hokey helmet

very nice!!
