Thoughts on the magma trooper?

I think it looks pretty dang good, but having that hose/tubing connected to the helmet would probably limit head movement. I also really like the shin guards as well.

I think they're awesome (though I'm a sucker for a DLT-19). Especially love the shin guards. Curious why we need to protect armor with more armor, but they're cool nonetheless! :P

Where is this from? Ā Man, it looks pretty cool and it is great to see another variation for the ROTJ trooper. Ā CRL shouldn't take long to do...

This is from the new Battlefront along with these other new/slightly different troopers.

The red armored troopers I thought were known as Magma Troopers. I guess they changed it to Crimson Troopers now and this respirator trooper is a Magma nowĀ  :blink:

If there was enough interest in this costume, I would consider sculpting and making the shin guards. I already offer full ROTJ kits so I could provide the shin guards with a full kit or individually.

Ā 

As a side note, I can offer full kits in red ABS too :)

You possibly gonna sculpt the face thingy aswell?Ā 

But I Could possibly maybe be intersted in this :D

I'm definitely going to have a crack at this, started some sketches of the pack so i can work it out

Ā 

Paul, I may need some of those glorious RotJ parts you've made ;)

Ā 

Some more reference pics:----------

From what i can see:

Ā 

RotJ armour

Custom air pack

Faceplate and hose

Black Pauldron - not smooth, more of a Leatherette finish

Custom Shin guards

Ā 

I imagine turning my head is going to be a big issue unless i can get some very flexible hose, and Its going to be a pain to do that pack but i do like a challenge :)
