Minutemans ANH Stunt Build [AM]

[Minuteman]

I´m building this beauty since April, but college keeps me from finishing.... damn college

Okay.

The armor is AM, the helmet is from TM, assembled and painted by Paul .... well, art at school was a D- so painting myself wouldn´t have been a good idea.

I shortened the chest and backplate and created a new return edge following Pandatroopers tutorial. Thanks Terry!

I´m 185 cm short and about 85 kg.

 

This is a test fit I made today, but it is not finished,as you all can see.

There are many, many places to work on, like shoulder bells, shoulder bridges, belt, thigh garters, knee ammo belt,.....

Constructive criticism is welcome ;-)

 

Cheers

Looking good Steffen!

[There's a skeleton hiding in your room.]

Keep up the good work!

[Minuteman]

Thank you both

Well, Jenny, the skeleton was the last rebel that came across my way

[FunkyTrigger[TK]]

This AM fit looks pretty well form fitted to your size.

I'm impressed with your AM trimming and chest mods.

Keep up the good work.

[Minuteman]

Thank you for the kind words, I´ll do my best to make the result EIB-worthy

[Minuteman]

Yesterday i built a duct tape mannequin, here are the first results:

 

 

 

 

 

 

One badass shot:

 

 

My plan is to give him some kind of hands, so that he can hold my new hyperfirm E-11 when it arrives

Any thoughts? The forearm will consist of a water pipe, so I might be able to glue on some wood construction or whatever is functional and good looking.

Next I´ll work on the shoulder bridges.

This is how I made my hands.

 

It can hold a gun with one hand.

[Minuteman]

Good idea, thank you Travis!

Is that thick wire you used there? And what are these endcaps made of?

[kupertrooper]

The wire is just some solid copper I got at ace hardware. I got the end caps there too. I think they were in the isle for chair end caps. They help when you slip the gloves on.

[Minuteman]

The armor is 99% ready for my application.......... the only thing that is missing is the holster, which I only need to attach, but need to get some cap rivets for that.

Next week a fellow TK comes over to me and does the application photos, so the pics you see here were only created out of my huge impatience.

I used a stand for the camera, which did not work very well, so please excuse the crappy quality, the wrong angle and the "missing" boots. ( believe me: they are there!)

So here they come:

Good luck, hope you don't have to wait too long.

[mr0072003[501st]]

Good Luck. I will be going AM myself once I get a TK. I like the thickness and glossyness it comes in. Great work!

[TK-50101 Blue Snaggletooth[TK]]

Fits good for a tall man.

Good luck. Next 501st member for the White Shadows (WSQ).
