Sure. You can receive the very first one. I am getting ready to 3D print the parts so it is very accurate.

Guess what I will have a prototype of soon? -------------------

Guess what I will have a prototype of soon?

Finished with this build. Will post more pics and details of the build, later. But below are the photos.

Thanks. I am creating mold so I can reproduce. Should be done and try on everything this weekend. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

I like the big gun. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Just curios. What does everyone's pack look like and what weapon do you carry when you troop? I prefer the DLT-19, since it is lighter than the T-21 (and I have not built the T-21 yet).

But I love my antenna.....

I do like the idea of updating the Shocktrooper to include the backpack. Afterall, the Sideshow figure has this pack and it is worn in the Battlefront games. I also like the idea of an HWT pack from Battleftont 1/2 (like we currently have) and the others can be options, like we do with blasters.

Joseph, Well stated. Here are my thoughts: 1. I agree. Packs need to be a basic requirement. 2. I agree. The way I met this requirement was I purchased another ammo belt that I use specifically for HWT. Actually, since I became an HWT, I have never gone back to a shiny TK. 3. I agree. I never wear mine. 4. I agree. Weathering (i.e. Battle Damage) is a simple process and the whole idea is that an HWT has been through battles. 5. I agree. I know we all add stuff to our packs, but most of us keep it hidden or make it easily removable. i.e. E-11 clips to hold my E-11 to the pack. I have seen some packs that go crazy with lights. 6. Good. Nothing like seeing a TD in the picture wearing a Sandtrooper Pack. 7. Not sure what that is referencing. 8. I personally like the antenna as it distinguishes us from all other troopers wearing packs (i.e. Sandtroopers). Afterall, we have an old-fashioned style radio on our pack, so we must have needed an antenna to communicate with our Destroyers, right? Lol. I do like the basic pack and think it should be kept as the main pack that is required for approval at all levels (I do like the option of a thick or thin base). However, I do like the idea of having options to build or acquire different packs as an add on the the ensemble. Kind of the same way we do it with the blasters and rifles. Their is typically a main one and then we have acceptable "options". This will allow for the variations while still holding everyone to staying accurate to the game. This will also prevent people from making crazy looking packs and wearing them at events. There is nothing like standing next to someone wearing a pack that has flashing lights, sounds and a bunch of weird looking attachments. Of course, I may do this for fun every now and then. Afterall, we are all in this to have some fun. It is always difficult to keep a balance between screen accuracy and fun. Just my 1/2 cent.

So, for example, I have been building and selling the Battlefront Shocktrooper Pack. Currently, there is no option for a Shocktrooper Pack on the Shocktrooper CRL. If we wanted to make this a requirement for Level 2 or 3, how would we do it? I do have a build thread on it to show how it was constructed. I am building a Version 2 at this time which will make a few things more accurate. It is definitely worth looking into the variants of the HWT. We should probably make some kind of matrix to identify them. Similar to what Sarah has already done. Thoughts?

Everything is looking good. Good Luck.

Ok. I am sure this will not be a quick and painless thing. Just let us know the proper steps and we will slowly Chip away at it.[emoji12] Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

This is one reason we are having this discussion as there appears to be many variances, especially when you review the pics from the new game. It is almost like we need to come up with different levels like V1 for the current pack from the older battlefront. V2 what appears to be a Shocktrooper Pack from the current Battlefront game, etc...

Sounds like a good plan. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Wow. Great information. When you look at the current battlefront game, what you might call the Heavy Weapons Trooper Stormtrooper appears to have what is also being called a Shocktrooper Backpack. Below are some of the pics from the game and a Shocktrooper pack that I build. In the game this pack is worn by a stormtrooper with the orange pauldron, but can also be worn by the Shocktrooper. From Battlefront. Looks like Shocktrooper Pack. Orange Pauldron. 1 Ammo pouch. No Ammo boxes or pouches on Ammo belt. From Battlefront. Looks like Shocktrooper Pack. Orange Pauldron. 1 Ammo pouch. No Ammo boxes or pouches on Ammo belt. Also from Battlefront. Shocktrooper armor. Shocktrooper Pack. Me. Shcoktrooper Pack. Orange Pauldron. 3 Ammo pouches. It almost appears you can have many variants to the pack worn by the HWT's and some of the armor accessories. I am running into the same issue with the Battlefront Jump Pack. There are more than 6 variants of the pack as they are all based the armor being worn and if you are a rebel or Stormtrooper.

Great idea. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

I find if I use Plasti Dip on the white tubes that the paint does not pull off of the plastic. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

That is a great idea. Gotta get one. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Are you using Photobucket to upload your photos? Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

The respirator model and mold are complete. This is a picture of the first resin one. Now all I have to do is add the red LED Light, paint black and install the magnets to hold onto the helmet. I am now at the point where I can put the final touches on this entire package (pack, shin armor, respirator system).
