Here is what I have so far: — Beta Project Airsoft from Evike. (I am not sure if that is the exact make but all the details look the same. ) — Element M300A Flashlight — Visually accurate Piccadilly scope rail (for the flashlight) — DoopyDoos Scope — Field Marshall replica power cylinders.

Ok, I will admit it...I am more of a Star Wars prop guy than an armor builder. And I am very passionate about accuracy. In the quest for the perfect R1 E-11, I have sourced most of what I believe to be screen accurate — Airsoft Sterling, Flashlight, DoopyDoo's M38 Scope, Power Cylinders...all but two things the Hengstler counter and the t-tracks. I am up in the air on the counter (real or resin?) and most the t-track out there does not have the right profile or is made from rubber...but, I think I have stumbled upon a t-track option that is VERY close to screen accurate. A t-track that has the wide and tall center spine as seen on the R1 blaster. Now there is one issue. The supplier is in the UK and, though I am still waiting to hear back from them, it looks like they may not ship to the US. Would there be — A: Enough interest from you all to order a quantity of this. B: Someone in the UK willing to be the middle man... I 3D printed a sample based on the dimensions supplied by the manufacturer, mockup attached. ------------

Very interested in seeing the finished pieces!

Any updates on this? Curious about purchasing a few of the STL files for personal use if available!

I have two extra sets (six per set) of cam buckles for the 'bed roll' PM me in you are in need of them.

Thanks! I sent a message.

No other option yet huh? Nothing wrong with Jim's necessarily, I am just surprised that it is the only one. I may still go the Sister Margaret Tanktrooper direction and see if I can match the fabric to make the ribbed knee detail myself.

For anyone looking for the brown in a Spray Paint form factor, I tested nearly every widely available brown against the Vallejo "Dark Rust" suggested by Paul. Rustoleum Satin Espresso is a nearly exact match.

I am also working on a 3D printed Shoretrooper (though with different files), I am curious if you have though about the shin/lower leg armor yet? I am worried that the PLA will not flex enough to allow my foot to slide through.

What layer height are you printing at? Looks super fine!

I am starting to research a R1 TK build and am looking for a super accurate undersuit. For the undershirt, I was thinking about going with a Sister Margaret's Gasket Emporium Tanktrooper shirt (not necessarily accurate but nicely made), but they will not make the pants, and I want the ribbing material to match. Maybe if enough of us ask about the pants they will start making them??? I am assuming that the Stormtrooper is similar to the Shoretrooper below, only black with full legs??? Any leads would be great. I am not quite ready to purchase, but I like to have everything planned out before I attack a project. thanks, -david

What did you use to cut the brow trim off with?

I would be very interested in a Chest plate and Back plate when this is ready! Especially if it is vac-formed with resin greeblies.

This is so good. I thought I had myself talked out of building a full Shoretrooper....but then I look at these and I rethink everything. Also...I need to trade my BSP helmet in for an Anovos....its just so perfect. :/ I was thinking of getting a BSP armor kit and converting the applicable pieces into a R1 TK...maybe they will give me a deal on two kits.

Think you could email that to me?

oh man, I hope you can get this all back up...I have nearly all the parts to build this and was going to start soon. I hope Photobucket gets hell for this, it has ruined almost every forum I am a part of.

Got mine in its chocolate brown base coat. Also, used a lightly textured spray paint before the brown. If mine turns out half as good as yours I will be happy.

I have a couple extra sets *EDIT one set of 6 left "bed roll" buckles. If any one is interested in the US, Ill let them go for cheap. shoot me a PM. *GONE

Great, brown it is! Thanks.

So when you repaint your Anovos helmet you will be going with a brown base rather than a black base? Just got my BSP helmet and am going to start the paint up soon...just curious what is believed to be the base color.

I may go with these, they are rubber but the closest I can find and for $8 for 25 its worth a try until I find something closer. McMaster Carr #2517T81 or 2517T34

Are the frame post end caps on the M75 rubber or plastic? I got a M75 from Coleman's that luckily turned out to be the M75 and not the LK35, but unfortunately the end caps are missing, so I am going to have to seek out a simple replacement.

I looked into the NGT 12' Floatmaster as it was suggested in the thread earlier. Though it looks like an very good alternative to the screen used rod, unfortunately, I have yet to find a supplier willing to ship to the US. Hopefully some other US troopers can tell me if they found a source for the NGT 12' Floatmaster. The search continues...

Yeah, just curious if anyone in the US has found something similar as a starting point. 3 piece 12' rods seem hard to source in my quick online search....but I know nothing about fishing so I could be looking in the wrong spots.

Has anyone found a good alternative antenna source/replacement, preferably in the US? I am starting to collect pieces for this and would love to know. thanks, -david
