  1. Original helmet ear dimension question

    in The Foundry - Armor and Prop Making

    Posted

    Hello all.<br>

    I'm well on way with making my own helmet sculpt/mold but one thing that keeps annoying me is my helmet detail parts. <br>

    One specific detail I'm hoping someone can hel me with is the dimensions of the ears on the helmet.<br>

    I was specifically looking for measurements of the <br>

    1. Main lower circle area, depth and radius<br>

    2. The upper circle area, depth and radius<br>

    3. The depth and width roughly of the stock.<br><br>

    If anyone can help me out with these it would be amazing. <br>

    Thanks for any and all help

  2. Scottish Trooper Pep Build

    in The Foundry - Armor and Prop Making

    Thanks for reply. I have the full unlocked version of pepakura designer so altering is no problem now. In addition I have almost completed both lower area of the arms just have to do the upper bell armour then moving into the chest and back. Will prob use fierfieks files for this as dung0bettles are overly complex and the pep file I have for his rear back armour seems not to be quite right.

    Thanks for all the good feed back.

     

    Rick all you have to do is just give it a go. After all its just card and if you make a boob ( which I have done a lot ) you can always fix it easy.

     

    Jeff: I hope I can get close to what you have made with your fantastic helmet

     

    Glen: dear god I know it's going to take a loooooooooong time and many many nights of glued fingers

     

    Finished the left lower arm pep last night and I'm hoping to have the rest of the left arm armour done by end of weekend

    Hi all.

     

    Thought it time to start posting my Trooper pep build. I am using a combination of Fierfek and Dun0bettles pep files to do my pep.

     

    At present i have made Fierfeks trooper helmet and i present the images below for peoples responses... be gentle as i have NEVER done pepakura before and this is my first real go at it.

     

    The helmet was put together using UHU glue as i just couldn’t get the hot glue gun i have to co-operate but i guess that will come with practice.

     

    I'm going to hold off resining the helmet and practice on a easier pep piece that if needed can be rebuilt without alot of cursing lol.

     

    As i'm in UK my resin of choice is to be Jesmonite AC100.

     

    Note Mr potato head is a great reference for me lol

  8. Vacuum pump

    Cheers for that. I was looking at that site. I'm only looking to do minimum pulls. Currently trying my hand at pepakura build. Done the helmet but not started hardening it. Going to make it into a mold a use it to pull some HIPS.

    Should really start showing off my new pride and joy before getting to far ahead in the helmet and armour so people believe me lol

  9. Vacuum pump

    Hi. This is just a quick question that probably has been asked before but as I have finished my vac table and a surge tank set up also made up I am looking for a decent vac pump to use INDOORS.

    The tables got a vac surface of 60cm square and if my calculations are right there are 2 6ltr tanks for holding the air.

     

    I have seen a few options and they are around 1.5 too 4 CFM and have an HP of 1/4.

     

    This is a range of pics of my table set up

    All help as usual greatly appreciated

  13. AM armour purcahse

    in Hard Armor (General Discussion)

    Posted

    My word... I thought this would be a fun hobby but now it looks like i'm being press ganged into EXERCISE!!!!

     

    I have today sent the PM off asking to be put on the lists for the next run so I'm committed to the fun and games ahead.

     

    The rest of the gear to finish off the armour i.e. body suit etc should be fairly easy to come by.

     

    I have also purchase a E11 blaster resin model from doopydoos... just hope it gets delivered ok as don't trust their choice of delivery transport from prior experiences.

  14. Modeling Tool question

    in The Foundry - Armor and Prop Making

    Posted

    This has probably been asked in the past but I am currently looking into getting a cutting tool.

     

    I was thinking of buying a Bevel Dremel 3000 multitool for around £39.00.

     

    I was wondering if people have used this in their sculpting and trimming of plastics and if its a good tool to purchase.

     

    Thanks for any answers

    Hello all just a quick message to ask if people think the new AM armour (fashioned on the old FX armour and updated of course... at least I think, if I'm wrong please correct me) will be able to fit a person of my build comfortably.

     

    Just want to pick peoples brains and thoughts before committing to anything

     

    I'm about 220 lbs (I hope.... need to slim down lol)

    I have a waist of about 44 to 46 inches

    and I am about 5 foot 10 inches

     

    Any troopers roughly this build that have been successful with most types of armour ?

     

    As always any replies MUCH appreciated

  18. Is this a good deal on armour.. Not eBay but Amazon

    Posted

    I will probably hold off like advised. Looking at the pm I sent troopermaster it seems he hasn't read it yet, though I have seen him posting but as I stated in the pm to him he probably gets a lot of messages.

     

    I have started the whole gathering of extra funds (selling the old Xbox etc) so I may be a while before finally choosing but thank to everyone for their responses.

    Thanks everyone. I have heard from mark and have prices.

     

    Dday I have sent troopermaster a pm a few days ago but no response I guess he is a busy man.

    After conversion and everything the AP is working out roughly the same as the one on Amazon minus the body suit and gloves any how

     

    That all said from the raving that TM suits are getting I would love to hear from troopermaster first

    Hi all just looking for a little help. I found the above armour on amazon and it appears to be legit from shepperton studios. Is it a good buy or am I better going down line of AP as I have heard back from them too.

     

    In uk so any help is much appreciated.

     

    Have registered with uk garrison forums but still not had a admin officially invite me in yet

    Hello one and all. New member just introducing myself. I will be honest and say I am as all newbies a little lost and I'm slowly finding my way about.

    It's my hope to eventually find myself nice shiny storm trooper armour at some point in the future so I will be scouring the forums for help in eventually achieving this (at a reasonable non damaging expense to the wallet)

     

    We'll thanks for reading and hopefully my search will begin soon
