The make one!
Travis, your blaster is amazing, unbelievable metal skillz and craftsmanship, it truly deserves more visibility!!!
By the way, I've never seen full shots of it finished and weathered!
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!
