AP Mod into ANH hero
bobby fletcher replied to bobby fletcher's topic in Assembly, Mods, and Painting
It was a mistake a made when i started the helmet but i fixed it after i got a hold of better reference photos When I started to put the AP together I thought to myself... I would like a hero helmet so i took it apart and started over again it wasn't till after i started i found it the Hero Luke helmet had only one screw so I tried my best to hide the mistake the only option i really have left is to repaint the ear cap over again but i am putting this project helmet on hold for now, I have An Accurate ANH vader coming along slow , Have to finish off a friends clone trooper armor, Endlessly working on my TK armor. Building a Sweet mocking bird guitar, Ect etc.. oh yeah and work it takes up all my "HAPPY TIME" as borat would say -
Canvas trooper belt
bobby fletcher replied to bobby fletcher's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
Here are some update shots of the armor i will look for the site i got my canvas from. I have extra i made one for a friend he digs it, the only major problem is i made my belt way to thick so it's hard to rivit it <_< i havent suited up the armor since i added the canvas but i will try to fit it in today to see how well it holds up with the blaster in it's holster and Thermal Detonator to the back attached. I tryed to dirty up the belt a little. -
Well for me i grew up on Star wars and star trek live long and prosper!! Any who one day while working i thought hey i should buy a trooper suit. then the rubies vader came out me beeing noob thought this thing was the real deal.. a year later i learned a great deal about vader and very little about troopers other then basics and who was who of the trooper armor world. i then saw a great price on a TE suit and jumped on it. I figured if i am going to have an accurate vader project why not have an accurate trooper to top it off just need to pack on a few more pounds and i will be a pefect trooper size

thanks guys I owe troopermaster a big thanks i was e-mailing him on a daily basies Here are some updated shots so far i will be riviting in the belt as soon as i finish sewing in the velcro -
I'm sure everyone has heard that the belts used in star wars ANH where made of canvas. I'm not sure how ture this rains but i figure gives me somthing to do in my free time and looks a hell of a lot better then my thin elastic belt. Here is how my progess has come so far. Elastic canvas Befor anyone says anything i know my drop boxes are in the worng place i move them when i troop or they get lost in my thigh plates

What makes an ROTJ stormtrooper
bobby fletcher replied to Daetrin's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
If you turn up the contrast and brightness of your comp the lens will apper to be green in this shot. I have also heard GINO say the same about the hero lenses being green. -
What makes an ROTJ stormtrooper
bobby fletcher replied to Daetrin's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
I also believe the ANH hero helmet had green bubble lenses as well... there also seem to be 4 air holes under the lenses on top of the decals. and they also had diffrent boots. Here are some shots if we need more i will screah my computer because it is loaded with Starwars pics -
LMFAO that's a nice way of saying i have no life.... i wonder if you count all the posts i have made on all the star wars forums and 501st forums i am a member of it must be insanely high

AP Mod into ANH hero
bobby fletcher replied to bobby fletcher's topic in Assembly, Mods, and Painting
Here are a few updated shots i painted in all the decals but the 2 spots over the brow trim.... I still have so far to go :| ------------ i know the paint isnt done drying I tryed my best to recreate the brush storks on the helmet as seen in the flim but I didnt do as well as i had hoped for but, I will be cleaning up my paint job as soon as the paint drys a touch up here and there :thumbsup -
nothing is worse then a woman towering over you in your TK, I ran in to a woman that had to be 6'3 (i'm 5'11) and she was staring down at me so i said the frist thing that came to mind... You ever think about being vader she didnt find it funny <_<

TD clasps for non ABS belts
bobby fletcher replied to Exodus's topic in Assembly, Mods, and Painting
the only problem i see is its to wide it needs to be tighter so it holds on to your belt better
