f0xtrooper[501st] Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Since I built my armour my son has been desperate to join in the trooping fun. Tried TM but unfortunately he wasnt making anymore in my sons size so in desperation I bought a a set of kids sized armour from a fellow member on the boards to suprise him. Boy was it a suprise! although un-assembled it was a mess I think it is some kind of FX style armour that someone has attempted to scale. Not moaning as I was fully aware a little work would be needed. Suffice to say it required a LOT of work (i.e. Bondo, styrene and whole lot e6000 ) Pieces needed re-trimming and re-shaping and finally a paint job. I have been working on it off and on for a few months and its finally starting to reach near completion (well at least a point where I am not too embarressed to show it ) Chase's Mini-Trooper Its presently balancing on the pipe skeleton I built for my son. He's 7 and growing like a weed so I'll expect adjustments for a while I painted up the helmet for him and have a nice gloss white paint job. Just missing the tube stripes and hovi's. Trying to source some mini hovis but will probably have to fashion some out of milliput or something. All for now but here's a little pic of the almost finished helmet and especially for the ladies Beach Troopers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f0xtrooper[501st] Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 My boys at school at the moment look what hes gonna get when he gets home It not too clear in the photo sorry iphone but I ran him up a little holster for his E-11 using TM's measurements as a basis. He's pretty much good to go now Just waiting for his under-suit to arrive then he's applying to the academy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
