RT-Mod Rob[501st] Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) At the request of my 10 year old, who is an avid HALO fan, I took a break from forming Troopers and had a go at an 'Elite Field Marshall' - his fovorite character. Yes, having a Vac-former is a handy item for such endeavours. So here it is: Screen shot reference -------------- Those with a keen eye may see the parts of a Stormtrooper I used on it. Enjoy.

zoekoner[TK] Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Wow thats sweet... My childhood costumes comprised of cheap latex masks cardboard and a vidid imagination, i would have traded that for one of these in a hear beat. Awesome job. These are my favorite characters too. I guess i just have an affinity for antagonist subordinates. Cobra soldiers, the foot clan, and storm toad troopers from bucky o hare anyway amazing rendition it looks killer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazmosis[501st] Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Good Lord!!!!! You, know, you should consider having a go at making Stormtrooper armor......you know from Star Wars. Your thoughts????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT-Mod Rob[501st] Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the nice comments. I am quite pleased with the way it turned out considering the short time frame I gave myself. For those of you trying to find the trooper bits on the above pics: The inner forearms are outer trooper forearms cut down. The hand gurads are ESB hand guards with the front corners trimmed away and an extra high ridge on top. Here is a pic of the 'one time use only' foam and plastic molds I used. Ingredients for Elite Back Armor: 1 Nintendo Controller 1 Dustpan 1 Brass 4x6 picture frame 3 Wood Plugs 1 Plastic Wedge 2 Plastic Business card Holders 4 Rubber Washers 1 Bicycle Seat Frame 1 15x20x6" piece of Rigid foam Insulation Assorted plastic cuttings ...and voila! ------------ Here is the back armor. See if you recognize any trooper items on it. Edited January 17, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, truly a beautiful and creative solution to make your son happy. I built a house out of a medium sized box this evening. My two year old son loves it.

If you've never been to his website, you should check it out. The alien is just one of several builds that he has on display. Rob is no less than an artist, as clearly demonstrated with this particular topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
