  6. Templar 726 Death Trooper Build

    in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance

    Posted · Edited by Templar726

    I found a shop called The Horror Dome.com that does exclusive masks and props. I cut and pasted various mask images and cut them out with scissors and placed them inside a little mask cutout I made. I did this with a lot of masks until I found the one that had the right grimace, teeth showing, and checkbone structure for my build. Believe it or not it was a half clown face. Just cut out the parts I needed and have been using the scraps for skin in the exposed armor sections. Check out the HorrorDome exclusive masks if you go to the web page. They have some amazing zombie masks. Here is the little fella I used:

    This is goofy but effective. The paper pre-fit before I order anything.

  13. HWT Pack Critique

    in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance

    Posted

    The CRL pack close up has one and we all just went along with that. The game does not have them but man do they look good on the packs! Eventually the CRL top pictures as well as the pack close up will change to better match the screen grabs since there are good examples of packs out there now but it takes time. I say sport those antennas until it changes!

     

    I have two guys building packs right now and they are not sure about the antennas but it is an easy remove down the road so no big deal to go ahead and put one on.

  14. EFX Helmet ? RUBIES Helmet?

    Hey Brother,

    I was in your shoes when I first joined. I had a Rubies that I loved but then upgraded to an eFX. Once I saw the other helmets in the garrison before i applied I bought an AP helmet and have been happy ever since. Once you troop and see the buckets up close you will never look at a Rubies or eFX the same again. They are cool for special projects and for display. I cut the eyes out of my Rubies and replaced with better lenses and made a custom Mickey Bucket. I drilled out the top of my eFX and put in a spring to do a Christmas bucket. Here they are compared to my AP bucket. I love the AP bucket but there are a lot of great kits out there that are approvable. Building one yourself can be scary but once your done the feeling of knowing you put it together makes it a work of art.

  16. ESB HWT?

    in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance

    Posted

    A couple of Garrison members want to troop HWT but their armor is ESB. The CRL calls for ANH so I was wondering if that would stop them from EIB application? I know the game resolution is tough to tell and the default is ANH but are the ESB kits not allowed? May be a stupid question but I told them I would ask.

     

    Thanks for any feedback.

  24. Electronic Christmas Bucket Project

    link removed no longer working

    Hey troopers I though you guys might like to see the Christmas Bucket I made a few months early for Christmas. All LED's programed to flash in a pattern powered by a 9 volt (watch the attached video). Vintage lights from an old string from the 70's I had in the attic were hollowed out to fit the LED's. Death Star is spring mounted with a bolt through the lid to waggle during the parade. The lenses are red, the ears are green, tears are green and the frown is red. Overall it turned out pretty cool.
