camprandall Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Oh my gosh man! I am in love with those pictures of you wearing the entire kit. That's my dream build sir. Amazing job, and congratulations. Thanks Ben! Got to wear it around this weekend at Fan Fest, which was a lot of fun. The fingers on my right hand were literally numb after a couple hours with how these forearms dig into the wrist while carrying it. Totally worth it though!

ukswrath[Staff] Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Sweet! Numb fingers, I have the same issue after carrying my T-21 for long durations. So how much does that thing weigh Clint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camprandall Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Sweet! Numb fingers, I have the same issue after carrying my T-21 for long durations. So how much does that thing weigh Clint? It's close to 12 lbs. The main issue is the fact that the trigger is underneath but there is that big white boxy thing that bumps into the forearm so I have to seriously tweak my wrist to hold it straight. Oh, the things we endure... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Would you be open to being the CRL model? We would need pix of the weapon, vest, and of course, you in a good front/back shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camprandall Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Yeah, that would be great! I'll see when I can find a sliver of time to get this thing back on. Might take a week or two with all the non-blaster troops coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrates[TK] Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 That's awesome great job Clint - you should get a "Pioneers medal" if one exists here on the FISD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would need pix of the weapon, vest, and of course, you in a good front/back shot. Though I love the BFG, Clint is the only one that has one . I think an image of Clint with the smaller blaster (tactical rifle with end stock) would be more suited for the CRL being many will have that setup, not to mention Clint has that gun as well. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? It also makes me wonder if the version with the stock and pistol is actually the heavy gunner. We don't know the clear distinctions yet of their roles so it gets confusing. We probably need to see the movie and see how everything plays out and then determine what variations of the trooper there are vs just a bunch of optional accessories on the one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camprandall Posted December 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Thanks Rob! Yeah, this was a beast. I really don't see myself making several of these. I wish I could, but my 2 and 3 year olds prefer to play monsters than hear about me building guns in the garage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin[Admin] Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Actually, maybe the one you did could be used to mold others? Or, do a 3-d scan so people can print parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camprandall Posted December 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Actually, maybe the one you did could be used to mold others? Or, do a 3-d scan so people can print parts? I actually thought about that, but it would only be a first step. With how manual this was, I'd want to make several corrections on a mold. It sounds intriguing though. We have a guy here in the DSG who makes all the latex space monkeys and other things so he does a lot of molding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camprandall Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Here's the final result of adding the lights. It came out great! They're so freaking hot though that there's a faint smell coming from the red sheeting over the lens.
