  1. Stormtrooper Belts

    in FISD Expert Infantry Badge (EIB) Requirements

    Posted

    After a few searches I found this:

    Well, time for one last reveal folks.

     

    While at the archives doing some work for LFL this last summer I was able to find some ANH stormtrooper suits they did not know they had. I was able to see the strapping, and also the belts. Cool stuff, but paper thin. It is not the .080 AA claims was used. It is .060 and not the color AA claims it was (Surprised? Me neither.)

     

    So I can say I can tell you 100% what the belts are as I actually touched the stupid things and the archivists agreed 100% on the material...

     

    Drum roll..... salute

     

    CANVAS

     

    So there you have it. I cannot commnet on the interior strapping, nor can I draw you a diagram and I am sorry about that. Use this info above to assist you in making your suits even better. No, it is not leather as some beleive it to be. 100% cut and stacked and sewn canvas.

     

    Enjoy.. (Another fine bit of information brought to you by TE.. when in doubt, toss it out. Like all the AA crap)

     

     

    Now I got conflicting information that is both supposedly from TE :unsure:

  2. Stormtrooper Belts

    in FISD Expert Infantry Badge (EIB) Requirements

    Posted

    Ok, I bumped into Trooper Tailor in my local Walmart, on my way to buy duck cloth/canvas to make myself a belt. He told me that Matt, aka TE said the belts were actually made out of 3" webbing. TE2 also supposedly uses webbing on some of his costumes.

     

     

    Can anyone confirm this or deny this? I don't wan't to make a belt out of webbing if its going to turn me down for my elite status. And if it is confirmed that webbing was used, then lets change the requirements for the sake of accuracy? B)

  7. Another cheap voice amp

    in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance

    Posted

    I just ordered one of these since the price is seemingly so amazing (only $4 more than the WallyWorld voice changer... which I have and quite like the sound of). Thanks R2Dan for sharing! P.S. Do you know any "Struchtemeyers" (my last name) over in or around Herne? :D

    I'm a newbie; almost finished with my first TK; and haven't been on any troops yet so I have zero experience "in the field". But what I'm confused about is how the WalMart voice changer and this most recent voice amp compares to the ROM/FX at £105.00, which I believe is $155. Does one simply have to hear each one to understand the significant price difference, or am I missing something else here? :blink: Thanks!

     

    The ROM/FX is pricey but it is a custom design board made for us Troopers. It adds static bursts at the end of your sentences when you talk into a microphone. It allows you to adjust several other things, but that's basically the main difference.

     

    I have both the Walmart voice changer and a Hyperdyne unit. The Hyperdyne is a close contender to the ROM/FX as it does pretty much the same thing.

     

    The Walmart voice changer is not bad for the price you pay, but no static burst.

     

    Once you been in this hobby for a while, you'll find yourself wanting better gear or armor. B)

     

    It helps you seem like a real stormtrooper that much more! ;)

    Welcome to the boards!

     

    As my first bit of recommendations, start downloading as many photo references as you can, the higher the quality, the better. Be sure to study those pics in detail, you may never know when you might learn something new.

     

    Be sure to do your research and don't be afraid to ask if you get stuck at a point (but do use the search button!)

     

    Please keep us updated on any progress you make. Pictures are a good way for us to guide you on any details you might have missed or need fixing.

    complete armor on ebay

    in For Sale - Archive

    Posted

    you already have a set? two's always better than one.

     

     

    I'm already working on improving the current set I have such as replacing the helmet, and making things more accurate and adding a ROM/FX which costs quite a bit of money, on top of that I'm making an imperial officer and snowtrooper commander. Don't have money for more! :mellow:

     

    If I ever did get a second set of armor, it would have to be TE2 B)
