ESB Progress


Recommended Posts

With my lid nearly finished ESB style i have been working on my armour trying to get it upto elite standards. And it seems that the ESB trooper is not getting much love here either. But i like being a bit different...

 

Ok here are some pics, i need to know what needs doing for ESB elite.

Canvas belt and correct ab buttons

On my list to do;

 

I will make another holster to loop over the belt. The new smaller ab buttons have really long stalks so when i put the armour on today they popped out as i havent glued them yet so reverted to my old bigger ones. I need to get some greeblies for my E-11 also.

The first thing that comes to mind is that you'll need a right side holster that loops around your belt rather than being rivited "I think" :unsure: and I can't tell if your lips on the frown are painted, because for ESB the "teeth" are the only things painted black :)

The hardest part will be getting the blaster right. I'm going after this standard myself and it's the biggest barrier. Otherwise it's just a different helmet, belt/holster, and hand plates.

Ok cool guys thanks for the tips. So i looked at the elite standards for esb and regards to the blaster. It says no ammo counter, how does the hasbro blaster hold up here? I would like to get a much more accurate blaster for my costume but the gun and toy laws here are a joke, you cant have anything remotely accurate looking without fear of prosecution.....

Ok i just made this holster using a template i found somewhere by Trooper Master, so thanks Paul i hope this will be ok for esb elite status. Let me know what you think :duim:
