Hahaha fantastic! shots bro, love it
I did the same thing back then, but as a stormtrooper.
Front plastic stormtrooper face, open in the back add on whit elastic.
The body was just white cloth, whit black painted details on.
Sadly i got no pics of me, all suit up back then.
But i have this one, from around 1980

Looks spot on ANH.
Congrats from here

Enjoy your build of this beauty.
Cheers

Love the rom-fx set up in your TM helmet, looks great!
Your SDS E-11 looks great too.
A few questions:
Do you feel its as accurate as you have dream off, and a good buy.
Whats its made off, is it solid/strong for a life time trooping etc.

My two favorites are the TE2, and TM suit for sure.
I would 100% go for one of them

*TD high 5 back * haha
Thanks Rolf,your builds are always awesome! Im hoping mine will look as good as yours do!
I just noticed in the last pic,i twisted the strap under the arm,so you can see the bottom of the snap..if it was the right way, the snap top is black and way less noticeable. lol whoops!
Your welcome buddy.
I´m sure your sandy will turn out top cool.
You got the TE2, Trooper1 pauldron, Crashmann pack kit etc, so it can´t go wrong.
I have a new TE2 sandy kit on my way too, so i can´t wait to start up too here.
Enjoy the build
(my last TE2)

Looking good Lou, can´t wait to see all suit up and done.
And deploy the bro´s of sand, over at the MEPD asap.
Enjoy your assemble of this beauty.

I guess a ANH stunt Gino helmet would be the most accurate, if you could get one.

The helmet is a beauty, lots of assembled and paint skills all over.
Congrats

The guns looks ok sweet, but hard to tell from the bad pictures of them... <_<

Thanks for your good and detail reply, very useful.
If i ever decide to paint a mat hips suit, i guess i will use your method.
I have done a few TE2 sandtrooper suits over time, and i do not paint them.
I let them stay hips, add the weathering on the suit, and then the hair spray gloss it all up good.
Here a few pictures, of my old TE2 sandy, whit no paint job on.
I think it works out great whit out the paint job, and looks great, and i then have no fear of paint will crack off over a life time trooping either.
Here you go:
I have a TE2 TK on my way, and i´m thinking of doing the same thing on the TK suit as on my TD TE2 mat hips suits.
I will then just add a few dark battle damage spots here and there, and make it a bit used in the look, and then again gloss it up whit a hair spray job.
I might gloss it up a bit whit the Novus scratch remover before i do the weathering, and hair spray job on it.
Cheers

TM is a true bro to many of us, and a key person in this hobby.
One of the best in the making armor world, and whit a spirit of gold at the same time.
Thanks for all the info through the years mate, and your accurate armors.
Cheers

Well... my armor is painted white and it's just waiting for me to have more time to continue...

Looking good trooper
One question.
Do you think your spray paint job are strong enough for a life time trooping, whit out any paint will crack off here and there.
I´m asking because here in Denmark, all the spray paint i have been trying out, can easy be scratch off again
I have try:
Belton, Motip, montana, quick, nothing works.
I have hand brush paint a few helmets whit humbrol, and model master, they are solid cool, but i would not like to hand brush a full suit vs. do a quick spray paint job.
We don´t have Krylon, and Rustoleum here.
Cheers
-
Beautiful. I would just make the ankles look thinner and very tight. As thin as possible. I think it gives a whole lot more to the overall look of the armor in general.
Thanks
I have been thinking about the same thing whit the shins, i will try to do them a bit more slim looking on my next one
-
Dude, do you sell these helmets or are you just showing off?ZUP?
I might sell the TE2 helmet, because i have two new TE2 kits on my way.
Pm me if you like to get it
-
WOW!!! A+ skills all over Keith, i love it.
There are some creative hands on you, looks spot on.
Congrats from here, whit your movie accurate helmet in your collection.
Cheers mate

These beauty´s should go quick.
I was lucky to get a sci-fire MG-15 from there limit (10 made, and might never again), if i did not have one, have take one of yours right away.
Even i got the E-11, MG-15, DLT-19, T-21 from sci-fire, i´m thinking of getting more fire arms...
Whats the price for your E-11/MG-15.
Congrats whit this A+ product, and good luck whit the sale of them John.
Cheers

Looks freaking cool so far, keep up the good work trooper

Lots of creative skills all over.

MEPD currently has 165 deployed Police Officers compared to our 108 Expert Infantrymen.
Given that there are 2165 TK's in the Legion compared to 460 sandtroopers, we should easily be way ahead of MEPD for deployed troops.
With the new AM armor and more suppliers of EIB-ready kit online, it's never been easier to get EIB.
Can FISD rally to boost EIB membership to be higher than MEPD's? I think we can!
Let's make it happen in 2010
Even my big love are the Sandtoopers, and the MEPD forum.
Its my plan to get a TK again this year, and deploy here on FISD.
I join the 501st for 10 years ago, i have got TK suits as:
FX, GF, AP, TM (all sold).
TD suits as:
GF, AP, TE2, TM.
But whit out a TK suit for the last 4 years now, but wanna get one again.
The plan is to get a TM this year, and join you there too.

From looking at the eyes shape and size it looks like a TM.
Mark
Copy that, looks like a TM.

I tweaked my prototype and began my 1st production run. Tomorrow is paint for these big boys along with 6 E-11s. I'll do some side by side photos between a real MG-15 and these.
WOW! looking Ssweet!!!
I guess there will be a new topic for these baby´s, would like to know more about how they was made.
Many of the parts, like the gun grip looks spot on accurate nice.

E6000 all the way
I have used E6000 on:
Gloss hips TM suit, Mat hips TE2 suits, abs TM suit, all worked perfect.
I have used hot glue on:
Abs AP suits, and it worked perfect too, but not as strong as the E6000 for sure.
(the hot glue can heat up the hips/abs, and damage the suit.
But mostly, only where the suits is pulled thin...
But the gluing is mostly the assemble parts whit stripes, so no problem any way.
But it will never be as strong, for life time trooping, as the E6000)
I have used abs cement on my old abs FX suit, i remember it as strong as the E6000.
But way more toxic, and harder to works whit/to control/and could therefor damage the gloss surface on the suit.
And also not as flex, as the rubber a like E6000.
