LOL very cool indeed, both the troop and the cold dip, well done

Yes this hobby is not a "I want it now, give me", you have to research and research and research and even when you know it all, research lol. Then its the long waiting lists and then the postage, don't get disheartened you will get there in the end.

Not that much up on snowtroopers, all I can say about stormtrooper stuff is what I have read and be told by others, if it's on ebay then DONT BUY IT. Appart from waiting for postage, hunting for correct informations is the hardest part to this hobby, I would head over to Blizzard Force and have a good read and search. I am researching an imperial officer costume and it is almost like the research of my TK armor, very very time consuming, but at the end it will be worth it.

I have noticed some snowtrooper stuff up for sale at the 501st forum, helmets and coasts and so on also if you haven't yet, go sing up to the 501st and also the Snowtrooper website Blizzard Force

What do you need

I coat mine with a clear satin to stop more weathering and help stop scratches

Was having a bad morning and then watched this, has given my day a lift lol

Very nice indeed well done

I have used the white one and also the black version, both where the same

Very nice work there Sam, hope to see an EIB application soon

Bit of info and pictures here Also here

Very cool Andrea

Looked like a great and rewarding troop, well done everyone. I was a bit concerned though how easily your weapon was taken from you, back to the Imperial Occupational and Safety briefing room for you trooper

Go on do it LOL. To answer your question you can use decals for traps and tube stripes but they need to appear as if hand painted, the only decals I have seen which look hand painted are the Dave M decals which trooperbay sells. You can hand paint if you have steady hands, I haven't so I just went for the Dave M's. You will still have to paint the small grey section on the ears. So if you have to order your s trim from trooperbay add on a set of Dave M decals and take the build to the next level or two LOL

Well done, looking good

+1 keep both for now. I like the look of the bottom in the first shot and the top in the second shot, could mix and match for now and wait and see if you get bitten by the building bug

From what I have seen most align the bottom, some choose to leave the top of the pieces out of alignment, I had a little missalignment at the top of my ATA thighs but I gave them a trim and then rolled over the edge and smoothed them with a small modeling iron.

Congrats Barry, was worth all that work, glad to see you got rid of the nag head lol. Now go out and enjoy your first troop as an official TK

Most that I have seen have just an end cap but when you try to blow up the Luke picture you can just see it has a weird shape to the bottom.

Ahhhh the excitement at the start, then the shear panic when you realise you have to cut it lol. Any plans of aiming for EIB or Centurion? I was persuaded at the start of my build to go straight for centurion level, would be so much easier than building to each of the levels one by one. Anyway whatever you decide good luck with the build hope it's a smooth one

It would be nice to get all these sizing and examples all on one thread, ie: kidney, belt corners, knee belt curve snd rivet position and so on would have made my build so much easier

The ice cream is in the other Legion elections are live thread http://www.whitearmo...__fromsearch__1 lol

Very nice indeed

Proof oh and yes I am a bit short for a stormtrooper lol http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh552/glenmurry/Leia.jpg

Well I suppose he could turn a blind eye then if it will be 50/50 lol. Oh can you pm me details of your imperial officer, I'm just hunting down stuff at the moment, my next project. Just finishing a Leia costume for a friend, yes I sew lol
