  1. HWT Pack...antenna or no antenna?

    in HWT Build Threads

    Posted

    The HWT Pack in the new CRL is one of my builds. It's actually an older one. I have since tightened up my specs to be even more accurate to what's seen in the game. <br>

    There are no antennas on the game pack. I always liked the look of it on my builds and offered it as an option. <br>

    I make it so that it is removable. You can simply unscrew it from the base for submission photos.

  8. Sandtrooper Backpack no more allowed?

    in Heavy Weapons Trooper

    Posted

    Hey everyone.  I haven't been on the forums in awhile due to some personal and family issues this past year so this is just coming to my attention as well.

    I have built in the past some pretty accuarate HWT Battlefront styled packs and hope to continue to do so in the future.  I am coming off a broken hand and surgery so I haven't been able to do much in the shop andd TD pack orders are waiting.

    I will be posting an HWT Pack Kit which will include the hard to find/make detailed box pieces.  Price for the kit is yet to be determined.

    I will do my best to get the kits poured and out in a timely manner for those interested.

    Stay tuned...

  9. HW TK or Sandy? How does the public react to a HWT?

    Ultimately, it doesn't matter which way you go.  When the gear is done right, you will look awesome no matter what character you are emulating.

    You should just do what you think is cool for you.

    I personally have never owned just a TK.  My 1st set of armor was a battered and bruised old set of FX Sandtrooper armor I picked up super cheap.

    It needed a lot of TLC.  After working on it for 6 months, it really came out great.  That was back in 2009 and I still troop the same suit to this day.

    And remember, you can pass for MEPD Officer and don't have to go SWAT level if you don't want to.  I personally like my TD having it's own personality.

    All that being said, Sandies do seem to get serious attention out in public!

  12. HWT Game Version Pack - Newest Design

    in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance

    Posted

    Just finished up a new HWT pack order and wanted to share some pics.

    I have been playing around with offering a different style base for the packs. Something slightly smaller and more boxy.

    Stumbled across a tool style case that almost perfectly fit the bill. An added bonus of the base is that it is hinged and opens for added storage.

    Should be no problem getting the Thermal Detonator to fit under the pack which is a requirement for HWT.

     

    I also did a re-design of the radio faceplate and slightly downsized the kit. All scratch built parts for the pack have also been molded and I will be offering them up in kit form very soon for those of you who want to build your own accurate HWT pack. Look for my interest thread on these parts soon.

  13. HWT Backpack Question

    in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance

    Posted · Edited by Quartermaster

    So is there not a set style for Heavy Weight? Just as long as its a pack, not dirty but normal field wear?

     

    Hopefully someone from Command will chime in here, but be careful with the customizations guys and girls. I'm sure it is ok to deviate a bit and get regular approval, but if you intend on going EI or Centurian, you will need to have a spot on pack as per TD style or the Game Version to get approved. ;)

    Looks awesome Mark! Really great job! Congrats!

     

    Look into an EFX lid. I used one for my Incinerator Trooper and because it's simetrical, it is perfect for the Video Game characters.

    My armor was also AM and it matched perfectly.

    Try Redfordfilms.com

    I got mine from there for $129 and free shipping.

    I have an MRCE for my Sandtrooper and an EFX for my Incinerator Trooper and I love them both.

    The mods necessary are not that hard or expensive to get the lid 501st Legion acceptable.

    My TD bucket is MEPD Deployed.

    Are there more accurate buckets and kits out there...yes. But for the $ and the quality you get in a finished bucket, you can't go wrong with the EFX.

  20. ESB blaster resin build

    in ESB BlasTech E11

    Posted · Edited by Quartermaster

    Whether it is chipped gray resin showing through or metal is irrelevant. The point is it IS chipped and worn on the tracks and that was how I weathered this weapon.

    Besides, I wasn't going for uber accuracy here, just a cool looking battle worn weapon.

  25. Is this common place?

    I'll have to take a look at what you are talking about with the snap plates not holding Tyler. I have built 5 suits using the ABS cement to to apply the snap plates and I have yet to have any pop off.

    I have also never had the cement warp the outside of the armor. That could happen if you use too much cement I suppose, but I have never seen it happen. We'll figure it out.
