Snooper Trooper

TK-15054 Requesting 501st status. http://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=17672

Hey fellas, Been a long time since I've been on here and I'm helping my brother with his new AP build. Anywho, Trooperbay is a new resource that wasn't around back when I did my build and I was curious about their E-11 kit. Is it accurate and/or a decent build? I scraped and searched in the forum and couldn't dig up anything. Would appreciate any help!

I used 5/8" snaps from Joann's Fabric

So... before I even got to walk out, as were all standing around just about to step into view my right thigh snap gives out and it falls over my shin.... Had a couple other problems with the armor, but all in all, had such a blast! The one thing that kept getting me was when people smile at me and I smile back... hah

I actually didn't snap it to my body. I connected a snap from the breast plate to the back plate over each shoulder. It held up just great for my first troop!

Here's some quick last minute check pics. I'll put up more detailed ones after tomorrow's troop!

Almost all done, have some minor adjustments and then Saturday is my first troop! So the pics from that will most likely be my completed pics.

I'm 6'3" and about 215. I went with RT Mod and it fits fantastic in most places. There are things you can do to help "fill" in places, like I had to, aside from just trimming it down.

Thanks! And I appreciate the advice very much, that's why I post here! The biceps and forearms are actually not strapped yet, so they are just hanging on my arms. My intention is to have the bicep a bit higher than either of them are. And then have the forearms lined up correctly.

Almost there!

Very nice!

Got a prelim on the upper body. I need to tighten the arms up a bit and put some snaps for the side of the cod/butt, otherwise I'm pretty happy with it.

Well I smeared them a bit on purpose to try and give the worn look like in the screenies. But, those are the correct colors, I think the flash and lighting threw them off a bit.

Got almost all of my snaps done. Came up short a few so making one last run for some and the jeans rivets for the side. Gonna start fitting tomorrow! Got my ab plate painted too.

SWTOR! Tdeath and I already have an Imperial guild registered through their website! hah

Nice find!

So update time Got my correct lenses Almost everything that needs to be is glued Right shin is gonna need a little touch up. I'm hoping to start strapping this or next week. I'm still just really scared of drilling holes in the side of my armor and still not sure of what to use when securing it. When I get that close I'm just gonna go for it!

Even with the few minor issues, looking good Vern! I was hoping to make it this year but, I'm not quite there yet. I'll hopefully be able to meet up with you though when you come to help out Ryan. I could use an experienced eye for fitting.

Looks awesome man! Can't wait until we both get ours done!

So for those of you under a rock there is a HUGE mmorpg coming out this year called Star Wars The Old Republic. For those of you who are going to play or are interested in playing, they have launched a program that let's players form guilds ahead of launch. The ones that meet certain requirements will be inserted at launch. So, a bunch of friends and family, including one other trooper here, have formed and registered a guild on the site. If anyone is interested in playing with some other troopers as well as a very talkative and friendly group of people I'd like to extend an invitation to you! All you have to do is register on the main site and then join up with our guild here. Hope to see you on there as well!

Got my bucket mic tips, all done.

Yeah I lit up my helm like in the application requests. So now, I just have to figure out the belt and ab plate. I guess I can just throw some pictures up and see if someone can fill me in.

It's been said a bunch, but I absolutely love that cake too! Awesome Party!

So I'm starting on my RT Mod build and I had a few questions on pieces that might or not might be EI ready. There are three pieces I'm wondering about from reading about others builds. The lenses that come with the RT helm, the belt and the ab buttons. These are pieces I have either seen someone get a different version of or modify in some way. I can always post pics if some of the officers just want to tell me if they haven't seen it before. Thanks guys!

Decided on the MKII Doopydoo conversion. And the rest of my pieces are already on the way. Rob did an awesome job! Totally recommend for anyone else who is considering RT Mod.
