Advice! about TX

[Rennny]

Finally gonna start working on my AM TX on Thursday, what is the typical Costuming reference do you use?

 

ANH / ESB or is it actually based on its own Shadow stormtrooper?

 

I ask because there's tons more AM builds on this forum and I plan on following Pandatrooper's AM build thead and was hoping it would work for a TX =)

 

 

 

(ps Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong area!)

There is a whole separate Special Ops Detachment/Forum for this specific costume/armor. Come and visit. http://forum.501stspecopsdet.net/

 

Meanwhile here is what is listed for the Blackhole trooper's costume requirements.

Meet all base Blackhole/Shadow Stormtrooper requirements.

 

ARMOR

* Shoulder straps should not be attached with visible rivets or snaps, and may free float in the back rather than being permanently attached.

* Armor side gaps need to be closed. This should be done by adding a shim or shims of material that must be of similar material and color as the ab and back plate. Shims should fit flush and may have seams. Ideally they will be seamless if possible to the ab and/or back plate, resulting in a single seam between the ab/back rather than extra seams for where the shims are joined.

* O2 canister should be attached via silver or black metal clips approximately 1 inch wide, and should be all black without silver stickers or silver paint.

* Drop boxes should be closed in back and hung from the ends of the belt with black elastic

* Correct sized buttons on the Ab Plate (7/16â€) and must be gloss black in color

* Belt must be made of a glossy material to closely match the shine of the armor.

 

HELMET

* Correct hovi or resin cast hovi mic tips.

* Ears should have three visible screws used per side, one above and below the ear bump and one at the base of the helmet or 2 screws per side, one above the ear bump and one at the base of the helmet.

* The drop from the Ears must also bend towards the back of the helmet, instead of vertically.

 

COLOR COMBINATION

*Present a single source that matches your helmet/armor color combination. Any armor not seen is presumed to be gloss black.
