"nuf said And... ....big enough for you??

Thanks and...Whoaa! Death Trooper FTW!!

Thats awesome!! Great detail - thanks alot and.....you don`t happen to have any more showing the helmet with such great detail...

Yeah I really like that you can choose a specific Trooper - really hope I can pull it of

Work-perk had easter holiday the entire week so had hopes for more build time but unforturnatly the Kit onle came yesterday and didn`t have time to start untill this morning and yeah pretty happy with the progress but got hit with man-flu (maybe I worked to hard *not*) so of course I now have one foot in the grave so no building for me neither for the time beeing, to busy feeling sorry for myself And...you totally should..or...there`s always Pauls armor, you really should get one of each

I`m sure both Paul and RS has some left "if you hurry you might catch them!" (Geek-humour)

Everything including helmet is rough trimmed as I managed to stay on target after a little detour those shoulder bells seem to be able to help with any eventual gap at chest/back plate...they are huuuge

And....my game-plan was to rough trim everything before any assambly work...that worked out great

Whaaaat?! It is?? Huh, go figure I’m glad you are here to help Paul Good thing I posted here as well as on MEPD (thanks for the influence Greg) would be great to have that as a reference for when I start on the helmet Thanks again

Well...time to start cutting - again

Had a quick chat with Hal yesterday and by the sound of things it`s pretty straight forward in how you deal with ABS, looking forward getting it to see for myself It`s lighter so might be loosing out on the "feel of an actual armor" but I only care about looks so And with the Pet-G you have no choice but to paint but apparently it takes to paint better than ABS and from what i understand most FOTK builds paint anyways.

Haha I think you`re right AND a room for my home theater (packed away at the moment). Well....we are looking for a house

Yes you do!

Yeah I think it will take some time to get it right but well worth it in the end. Besides from the road block/cantina/talk to Garinden Captain (although different gear I´m pretty sure he is ment to be the same guy, or they just didn`t care ) he is the most recognizable Trooper and only downside is, during my research I found out that he is a traitor to the Empire or atleast to his Captain Terrik which he kills during the Falcon get-away (sorry Gregg).

Yes that...and I blame the time difference as it`s an hour past midnight here in the North and I should call it a night...and I will

You are so right! The inner child in me has taken over and totally lost a grip of reality I draw the line on TK:s #fingers#crossed

Were?...to the Cantina? Can we go there even if we`re not deployed yet?? aaahh...so lame

Well....I blame Greg @wook1138 for having "bad influence" as this is a build intended for MEPD - Mos Eisly Police Department and the fact that I couldn`t resist wanting to show my friends here what I picked up this morning And seeing as Greg did the breakdown of differences between a TK and a TD I´ll just fire away BBB-day #4(never stops giving me "the Little boy at christmas feeling" Had a hard time deciding which Kit to get but couldn`t resist the lineage that RS has so RS it is...if someone had trouble in figure that out And...also think it lends itself perfectly for a Sandtrooper build and the helmet in particular with the little bumps and lumps. And here it is in all of it`s glory and I´m super-happy except for one thing, I´m missing the little RS labels on the peices that I have seen on other builds..oh well....after showering the pieces to get rid of the debri of plastic crumbs I marked the parts with a sharpie just so I don`t get confused when sitting in glue fumes nothing to it when you already did a few builds but for a beginner it would be a good thing ta have the parts labeled and on the other hand the detective work in finding out is good research to have to The SWAT level (L3) is a bit different as you emulate a specific Trooper and I´m shooting for this guy: the weathering is the challengeing part to get right...I´m liking the fact that he has different amount of teeth cut out on each side and that little "fire-mark" on the forehead - should be fun And here`s the breakdown for the "desert version" (the Sandtroopers switch gear constantly between scenes so it`s quite hard to keep up and that`s why there`s more than one version of Sergeant, Captain and Private (based on Pauldron). Obviously I like this one the best so here goes!

Awesome! Congratulations

Coming along nicely

Can you post a pic with just the shins on? To me it looks like it’s the thighs that need trimning/comming up more, can’t tell for sure so that pic would be helpful

E-11 Blaster (promo) Based on a real or replica Sterling sub-machine gun, scratch-built, or a modified commercial toy Stormtrooper blaster. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Folding stock (does not need to function). No ammo counter shall be present. Correct style scope. No power cylinders on the magazine housing. Scratch-built or cast blasters shall have a total of 6 T-tracks on blaster (leaving the lowest row on the magazine housing side uncovered). If using the Hasbro E11 toy blaster, it is modified to have the correct number of T-tracks (6 total), with a lower row of open vent holes on the magazine housing side. This is accomplished by covering the pre-existing rows of holes with T-tracks, then grinding off the lower integrated T-track on the magazine housing side, and drilling a new row of holes in its place. Two greeblies on the left rear area. Three studs on the right rear area. Add two scope block greeblies. Remove front bayonet muzzle disk. Remove magazine housing parts. Remove D-Ring mount. Swoosh trim on right side above the pistol grip.

Edit: removed

Aah? good to know and @ErikG96 Paul ships super-fast, you`ll have those lenses in no-time

The butt plate is not supposed to ride over the kidney and TM (in your link) gave some great advice on how to fix the issue
