Well, the time has passed and I have sold my first SDS armor...
For another one !
Not because I love this armor, but I had the opportunity to obtain this second one for a very interesting price...
But I have tried to obtain a more ANH screen-accurate version this time (even if it's not easy with the SDS OS kit ^^).
So this is the modifications that I have made for the upgrade :
General informations
Armor = Original Stormtrooper (reworked)
Helmet = Original Stormtrooper (reworked and totally repainted)
Blaster = E-11 full resin kit (Doopydoo's)
Boots = TKBoots
Canvas Belt = Home made
Inner Drop Boxes = Original Stormtrooper
Hand Plates = Sonnenschein (FISD)
Neck Seal = Unknown (bought as second hand)
Holster = Home made
TD Clips = Magikpimboli (501 FR)
Strapping brackets = Mr. No Stripes (FISD)
Optional removable "Simon's holster" = Home made
Strapping of the torso under construction
Re-trimming and glueing of the sniper plate
Repaint of the buttons
Creation of all the missing cover stripes
Strapping + elastics
Rivets and snap buttons
Elastics + cover stripes on the rear
Re-trimming of the thigh pack attachment and rivets
Correct hand plates
Reworked TD with correct belt clips
Screen accurate shin guards strapping
Arms with no return edges on the front and elastics
Canva belt + holster
And now photo finish !!!
The helmet was originally destined to be a "Mr no stripes" (see previous posts on this page), but finally I have added the blue stripes.
With my custom "Simon's holster"
Of course the "Original Stormtrooper" armors are absolutely not the most accurate armors, but with a little work, they can become better ^^
