KaitoTrooper[TK] Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Hello and welcome ladies and gentleman! Since I am preparing to build a Stormtrooper from ROTJ, I believe it is time to revive this part of the FISD Some general things to mention before I start: - I am now 18 - I am totally new to building costumes and this means I will require tons of help That should be all for now. Let's start! On 2nd February my research has begun and until now I have got nearly all the parts together: Updated 09.11 Armour and helmet: CFO (qee) In addition I will buy the strapping pack and the white armour trim, too, from him. Neckseal and holster: Darman Gloves: Ebay *done* Boots: Ebay. They will be painted white. Under suit: My parents print T-Shirts so I get the parts from them. *done* Blaster: Kai (TI 6815) (Big Thank you, Kai!) *done* As tools I already have a lot of different blades (exacto knife included) and a (quite shucksty) dremel. To glue the parts I will use E6000 (I will have to practise with that before I start). Now to the parts I still need to research: - I have now plan how to trim my armour, so I will have a look on this. - The strapping is also a big point which needs to be discovered. - Reference pictures should not be a real problem. - And last but not least assembling the armour. I hope you guys (and ladies) can support me with my tasks and I am looking forward to build this thing!

Minuteman Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Felix, you´re on the right track In a few years maybe I will follow you as a RotJ trooper. For the moment ANH and the TD are my only love The RotJ E-11 could become a difficult one to build, because it is based on a different sterling version (the canadian MGC I think?!), than the L2A3 of the ANH version. So a doopydoos kit could become a hard task to modify RotJ-style. Look out for the hyperfirm version, but I don´t know if it is still produced.. Chelsea or jodhpur boots will be great. Will be following closely here and on the GG forums. Keep it coming young aspirant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the GG there is a guy called "chachov" who actually built ROTJ E-11 blasters. I should as him if he still does I will go with the jodhpur boots (found some on Ebay and painted white they are approved) As already mentioned, I am not 18, so it will take some time until I am able to purchase the "expensive" stuff But I hope everything will be done until September.

Minuteman Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Look closely on chachovs products. I know some members, who were neither satisfied with his product nor his service. Better search longer than pay twice. Edited March 10, 2014 by Minuteman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaitoTrooper[TK] Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Oh okay. I will do some research here instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 You could try to get Kai in German Garrison to make a ROTJ blaster. It's not perfect but it's really hard to find a better one if you can't get a hyperfirm. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaitoTrooper[TK] Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hm, I don't know somone called Kai. I will have to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuteman Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Kai Hirt does some great work. When I come home I will send you his contact info, if I find it on our GG boards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaitoTrooper[TK] Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) I talked to Kai and he would build me a blaster! (and it is way less expensive than I found before) Now I can concentrate again on assembling (and my exams of course). Edit: I still need that fire hose belt. Mark, do you have one of those so I can order them with all the other stuff? Edited March 12, 2014 by KaitoTrooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuteman Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Or ask Vern for the firehose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskunky Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yes I have fire hose or the standard cheaper stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaitoTrooper[TK] Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Caution! Uptdate incoming! To bring some life back to this topic: Yes, I am still alive and no, I have not given up. The problem is, I am still in the middle of my finals and time is short for other stuff. Hopefully all will be done by the end of the next week.
