Engineering trooper[TK] Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I was wondering what the base armor (ANH, ESB, ROTJ) is for doing a Heavy Weapons trooper?<br><br> Also, any ideas of where to get the extra gear such as back pack, etc?<br><br> Thanks for any input!<br><br> Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadder[TK] Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Trooperbay does the backpack and Pauldron. I found a sweet set of black leather ammo packs on eBay a few weeks ago for $50 from seller "angelababyrock". Only took a week from China.

captsafe66[Admin] Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 ANH stunt is the base for a HWT. Make sure to read the CRL closely, they have specific requirements for approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliens8us Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Trooperbay does the backpack for SANDTROOPER. The combat pack for HWT is different than TD. You can get your 12qt oil drip can on Amazon for roughly $20. The boxes can be found at Dollar Tree and Walmart in the Tupperware section. Photo box for the radio at Michaels or Jo Ann Fabrics. Large pvc and caps at Lowes/Home Depot. Radio dials for the radio are (2) Gatorade caps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliens8us Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 And as for Armor type; you go according to the CRL. Mine happens to be ANH Stunt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Mine base armor is also ANH, Jim. The good thing about becoming a HWT is that you have the option to change back and forth between that and Stunt. I simply made my drop boxes detachable. There are a lot pack of great builds and info. on this link, http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/45-heavy-weapons-trooper/. The ones I used were from Tony (ukswrath) and Templar 726. For the main pack body I went with the oil pan from Bavarian Auto Sports, (see photo) because I liked the "bulk" of it, and it it really light from Charles' (Templar726) build. If you need any help with finding accessories, like the ammo packs and such, or information in general, just PM me. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30034-hwt-backpack-build-part-1/ (Tony's build) This is the link to the HWT CRL requirements: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_hwt Pay no attention to the pack in the main photos, it needs to be changed. Go by the one in the photos near the bottom Edited January 7, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photo updated gmrhodes13 2021 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
