sansei_trooper Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Hi all, I purchased a CFO ROTJ suit a little while back from rhapsodyred99. It was somewhat if an impulse buy at the moment, but glad I did it. I've been wanting a TK suit for some time now, but had no idea what kind if resource and dedication it took to truly make it up to 501st standard. Not to mention from what I've been reading, an ROTJ Trooper seems to be one of the more difficult suits to find parts for. Specially for the blaster. I'll post pictures later, but wanted to get my build thread started in the meantime. The suit is pretty much complete but being the perfectionist I am. I'm redoing a few details. When purchased all I bought was the suit. So I've since sourced out gloves, boots, black under suit, & have started building a blaster. Well two blasters actually... One doopy's ANH E11 which will have real working folding stock, counter, & site. The second blaster is for this rotj suit. I was able to find a model mgc sterling and will hopefully be able to acquire all the necessary extras for the build. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks Please remember I'm new here.

Toddo[TK] Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 I know that suit. It's a nice one. I can't wait to see what you do with it. The Sterling find sounds super cool. Quote

sansei_trooper Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Posted September 23, 2014 I was looking at my bucket tonight and noticed one of the ear pieces is starting to separate from the rest of the helmet. What type of glue is the best to glue these things together? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
sskunky Posted September 23, 2014 Report Posted September 23, 2014 Liquid solvent cement is all I use for my armour and helmets. You don't even need to remove anything. Just clamp the ear tight and apply the liquid to the seam. Done. Quote

sansei_trooper Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Posted October 1, 2014 Here are a few teaser pics. I'm going to try and build a mannequin on Thursday. As long as I can get the wife to lend a hand. More to come Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Grimez Posted October 20, 2014 Report Posted October 20, 2014 That armor is nice! Keep in mind you can always sell that ANH blaster to fund this build. I understand if you don't want to, but it's an option. Quote
