You need the Core, leds, resistors, lithium batteries, battery holder, cables, switch, button
I gutted mine, it was painful to remove all those beautiful revolving numbers, but it was for a better purpose
Yeah Pat, it's me thanks again!
That can surely be done And your real Sterling would be unbelievable with a Blaster Core!
The first thing is to buy one, the new batch is almost available, check here or subscribe to the newsletter:-----------
Then we'll talk
ciao!

Un caloroso benvenuto a tutti i troopers e aspiranti troopers italiani in questo grande e mitico forum dedicato ad uno dei personaggi più iconici della saga di Star Wars: lo STORMTROOPER!
Qui troverete tutte le informazioni per realizzare o migliorare il vostro costume, e questa sezione in italiano aiuterà chi non mastica bene l'inglese a destreggiarsi nella ricerca.
E' quindi più che benvenuto chi parla molto bene l'inglese, e ancor di più chi collaborerà attivamente per aiutare i nostri, ad esempio traducendo qualcuno degli utilissimi tutorial nella sezione "How-to".
Non aspettatevi sempre la risposta pronta, il lavoro di ricerca per arrivare ad un costume veramente accurato e preciso non è semplice, ma con un po' di pazienza troverete tutte le informazioni necessarie e farete anche nuove amicizie lungo il percorso!
Buon divertimento e buona lettura!

I suggest PVC pipe + Doopydoos kit, it's more accurate and you can improve it with electronics in the future since it's hollow
You can put a switch behind the trigger now, then put the electronics when you have more money or have found an alternative to the Blaster Core.
Urgh... Why no hand-painted look?!?
That was the main reason I bought your Dave M. decals in the first place...
Sorry, but this guinea pig is just escaped from the cage!
I'll keep my helmet as it is, no offense I hope!
But you can freely use my helmet pics for your site.
thanks,
Pablo
As I proposed in your other thread... I'm in
Here's my helmet with your Dave M. Decals:
Something like this is OK? I'm not a veteran builder but I've just reassembled and tweaked my TM helmet
"TM, you seek TM!"

With a name like yours you deserve the most accurate ANH/ESB armor.
And that's a Troopermaster one.
If you want the best combo I suggest TM armor + TE2 helmet, you can't beat that.
Sorry to inform you that you've put the right tube stripes on the left side and viceversa :|
But this is a perfect chance to order from Mike the new TM decals
Anyway the lid looks fabulous!
Small tutorial on how to realize an anaglyph for red/green glasses:
1-take a digital camera and a tripod
2-position the object you want to photograph and take the first picture (right eye)
3-move left about 4 inches while keeping the object centered and take the second picture (left eye)
4-open both images in photoshop
5-select the red channel from left pic and copy in into the red channel of right pic (ctrl-a/ctrl-c/ctrl-v)
6-by moving the red channel right or left you make the image pop out or go into the screen
7-lower the contrast and increase brightness to make the photo more pleasant and minimize ghosting.
8-crop the image to cut out bad parts
That's it!
Just kidding! I LOVE it! I remember that sweeet sensation when opening the box, and the thrill of laying all the pieces on the floor, begging me to do them justice with a proper assembly!
You'll have a blast with this, enjoy it, man!!!
