  3. Going Incinerator - Where Should I Start?

    in Incinerator Trooper

    Yeah! Go Red! :jc_doublethumbup: Starting with the helmet ist allways a good idea. If you head for Legion approval only, an efx might be a good choice. The helmet is quite inexpensive and good to wear, even on an 8-hour-troop. ;) But as said before: The efx helmet needs to be a little modified for approval. But all the modifications can be done quite easily. I don't like the shape and size of the FX bucket, so I would not recommend it.

    Thanks! In the beginning, when I started the Stormtrooper project, there was no intention to become a member of the 501st Legion. It was just a "fun project". So, the decision to finally go for a "Incinerator Trooper" wasn't so hard to make. And yes, I was a little nervous when i pushed the button of my red spray can for the first time ;) And I know now, that i made the right decision. I love my ICN! ;)

    Thanks Steve! As I told you, you have allways been a great help on my way to my Incinerator Trooper.

     

    It's stated in the CRL for the ICN that the pauldron must be just RED for Legion membership. I couldnt find a lighter pauldron so I spray-painted it with a red leather paint. The special leather paint keeps the pauldron leather smooth and flexible and doesn't "break" and chip when moving.

     

    Edit: membership application is on its way! *crossing fingers*

    Thanks Mason, your tutorial seems to be perfect for someone like me :) i have one question though:

     

    Could you include the dimensions of the woodsticks in the template? Otherwise, I'll need the size of the 3 main pockets, the small pocket and the overall size of the pouch in centimeters or millimeters. is it possible for you to do this?

     

     

    Here is a small illustration about what i have and what i need (please correct, if needed):

    Here is,as promised in my introduction thread, my INCINERATOR thread.

     

    THIS is how everything started:

    But after some troops in my Stormtrooper costume, I decided to go for a INCINERATOR and started to mask off the required areas,so i could spray paint the patterns on the armor parts, Here are some of my WIP pictures:

    And here,after finishing the paint job, the fully painted costume:

    And here a few pictures of last weekend's outdoor photo shooting:

    And on the following picture, you can see the obvious things that need to be changed:

    So, things that obviously need to be changed are:

     

    - my black pauldron has to be changed for a red one

     

    - no thigh pouches but the "sandtrooper pouches" on the left shoulder ( ordered yesterday)

     

    - there is a tiny black stripe on my belt on the pictures. It was a stripe of sticky velcro, which i have removed after the pictures were taken.

     

    - the buttons on the torso plate need to be inverted

     

    - the drop boxes must be grey ( I painted them grey and re-arranged them after the pictures were taken)

     

     

    So, constructive critics and comments are very welcome and i hope to be one the new Incinerator troopers, soon... ;)
