Daetrin[Admin] Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 This is just a working draft, comments welcome. To qualify for Bespin Deployed status for an ESB stormtrooper cotume, the elements are: Required 1. ESB style armor (ANH sized) 2. ESB style helmet (ANH sized) 3. Canvas belt 4. Black frown 5. Holster 6. ANH style E-11 blaster (?)
SethB6025[501st] Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 They dropped the hengstler entirely for ESB. Check out http://www.partsofsw.com there is detailed descriptions of all the blaster versions & variants.
tuskentrooper[TK] Posted July 14, 2006 Report Posted July 14, 2006 ESB TKs also had the Snowtrooper hand plates.
Jango_Fett_Jr[501st] Posted July 14, 2006 Report Posted July 14, 2006 Holster is on the wearer's right side rather than the left. Depending on how picky we're being, the trapezoid and teardrops are decals, and the tube stripes are printed on a white background.
Daetrin[Admin] Posted July 15, 2006 Author Report Posted July 15, 2006 How picky did you think is appropriate? Since most people use decals I don't think the traps will be an issue, not sure about the tube stripes. This seems to be an under-represented version of the TK so the feedback is fantastic.
SethB6025[501st] Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 I think the decals should be part of the deal, they're easy enough to get. the tube stripe issue is probably forgivable, though should be just as easy to get with a backround vs. without. Although, in person the rub-on tube decals look better than a solid sticker.
SethB6025[501st] Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 Yeah, that should be a given. I'm surprised how often people think they were black (along w/ ab buttons). That goes to show you how pop culture in the form of FX has distorted popular perceptions (misconceptions ) of an accurate suit.
Exodus[TK] Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 Great comments in keeping with movie accuracy. Keep them coming as we want the standards to be perfect. Thx, Ed
BactaReality Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 I'm sure it's not an issue for diployment, but the grey color on the ESB is a different shade, is it not?
Daetrin[Admin] Posted September 10, 2006 Author Report Posted September 10, 2006 You mean for the traps, right? I thought they were the same blue-ish color as the ROTJ. But yeah, that kind of detail certainly should be a detail for deployment.
