I have armor coming from MIMIC in the UK. The armor itself is made from a high quality fibreglass cloth with a perfect gel coat surface. All parts will be painted. I will still need to fit it, add the strapping, belt, boots, under armor, etc.... The new Episode VIII helmet will follow about 1 month behind. I should be receiving the armor in a couple of weeks. So I will probably start acquiring the soft parts. NOTE: After a year of waiting, I still have not received the second half of the armor. THANK YOU KB PROPS for working with me and others that got taken advantage of by MIMIC and getting us armor at a great price. So this armor will be a mix of MIMIC's Fiberglass and KB Props ABS. Below I am going to list what vendor I am purchasing all of the items from: Hard Armor: MIMIC (First Half) KB PROPS for second half of armor. https://www.facebook.com/KBProps Helmet (TLJ): TKD Props - https://www.facebook.com/TDK-Props-537706609725029/ Helmet (TFA): Anovos Gaskets: Geeky Pink's Phantastic Gaskets - https://www.facebook.com/GeekyPinksPhantasticGaskets/ Boots: Crow Props - https://www.facebook.com/groups/108653819216581/?ref=br_rs Gloves: Crow Props - https://www.facebook.com/groups/108653819216581/?ref=br_rs Belt: Premium First Order Belt Kit (Darren aka JAFO) visit http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/36882-premium-tfa-fotk-belt-kit/ Cape:

HWT CRL Changes - Your input is requested
CrookKnight replied to Daetrin's topic in Heavy Weapons Trooper
Has the CRL been revised yet? On the 501st page is still looks the same. I am asking since we have someone in the Carolina Garrison submitting with an antenna and from what I can tell, they are still allowed. -
Do you still sell the ROTJ Decals?

Anyone know where I can find the Helmet Decals for the ROTJ Bucket? I am going to build a ROTJ Bucket from WTF.

Space Pack - Needs a repair

Good idea on the top not being adjustable. I think I will make that happen. -
Space Pack - Needs a repair
CrookKnight replied to Daetrin's topic in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories
Here is what I have come up with for strapping the pack to the backplate. I like this option, since it will allow for easy removal and placement. I would probably still use with magnets just to hold it in place as best as possible. I cut (4) slots into the base plate. Inserted the white 3/4" nylon webbing. I used the black plastic slip buckles just because it was all that I had. For a real pack, I would do with out them and either glue the fabric together or sew it. The black hooks holding the plate onto the armor are actually from a bike rack system that goes on the back of a car. I ordered these online and they can be painted white so they do not stick out in great detail. This will work great and keep the pack on, even if someone bumps into it. I will have the base plate redesigned to allow for these 4 slots to already be present. In this picture, I used a sodering iron to create the slots. This is the first picuture. My next one will be without the black pieces and no extra nylon webbing. Should blend pretty well and not stick out. ---------- As you can see, I did not have it pulled completely tight. The black sliders prevented me from doing that. ----------- --------- ---------- Thoughts? -

Amazing....When I finally get to make myself one, I am going to talk to you about how to paint it. Great job. I would ask to use those pictures for my marketing, but there is no way I can make it look like that right now. lol. -

The Official 2017 What is a Heavy Weapons Trooper Thread
CrookKnight replied to Daetrin's topic in Heavy Weapons Trooper
So....Where are we with this? I know we are addiing the backpack to the CRL for the Shocktrooper. Are we making any other changes? Battlefront Magma trooper. I know of about 6 people out there who have these outfits. I have sold 4 of them myself and have my own. Is the CRL still being created? Do you need any assistance with this? I am more than willing to help since I have had a lot of involvement with this. Jump Pack accessory to the HWT? Or will this be a variant? It is in our best interest to get these done before Battlefront II comes out in November. From what I have seen so far, there will probably be some additions. Thanks. -
Bradley's HWT Build
CrookKnight replied to AngryEwok's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
I would be careful not to deviate to far from the CRL standard. Keep in mind that a lot of time and research was put into the original and revised CRL. My recommendation as an Centurion HWT and pack builder is to construct your pack as close to the "Standard" as possible. Basing your build on the low quality game pictures (which is why some of the pieces are blocked) you are risking not getting approved by your GML. This is just some friendly advice, please do not take it the wrong way. Thank you and look forward to watching your build. -

To 3D print the base and the entire pack would cost more than $500. I currently 3D print some of the pieces and Vac form the radio and Arch boxes. However, it would be cost prohibitive to 3D print the base due to the size. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk -
Love watching this. I have not seen someone take the smoothness of the pack to this detail. I have also got some of the XTC 3D that I am going to use on my next finished Space Pack. I will have to add it as a recommendation to my kit for people. I will follow both your build and Joseph's build to see what changes I can possible make to improve the final product. I have the 3D printer(s) set to the highest of detail. Only so much I can do with PLA. There are other options such as Resin 3D printing, but the pack would cost over $1000 if I used that method.

All in all, it does not bother me if it is MEPD or FISD as long as I can wear it. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

I like the idea of splitting it up between the two Legions. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

I just would not call it battlefront 2. Since that game is coming out soon and they'll be a lot of new characters. Original Battlefront and Battlefront 1 works pretty well. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk -

CrookKnight replied to Daetrin's topic in Heavy Weapons Trooper
I like the idea. However, item 1 should be called something like PreBattlefront or Battlefront 09. Items 2 and 3 derive from the current Battlefront Game called just 'Battlefront', so we could reference Battlefront I Battlefront II is coming out in November and you will see a lot of characters from this one as it covers all Episodes of Star Wars. I also like the idea of allowing ANH armor for Lvl 1 and Lvl 2, since most of us have ANH armor. -
