Death Trooper WIP (Lots of pictures)

Looks incredible!

I like the way you have continued the damage into the TD bracket, it's little details like that which make a great build, exceptional

So, I haven't updated in a bit. This has been for a couple reasons. One, I was looking for some good 70's tech to put in the belt boxes and such, and two, I took a break to completely redo my dining room. One hardwood floor later, I'm finally back at things. Which is good, because I really only have the legs to do now.

 

The fun part has been putting the computer bits in my armor. I have holes one of my belt boxes, one of my drop boxes, and in one of my knee ammo packs.

 

Belt box:

 

Drop box:

 

Knee ammo pack:

 

 

After the tech was installed and decorated, I also got one calf completed. Decided the knee was a bit stabby looking, so...

 

 

When I got done, I showed a few folks and I won a Major Award! (It said Fra-gee-le, so it's apparently Italian.)

 

 

I got initial work started on the other 3 leg parts, but ran out of time to work on it for now. Hope to have it all done within the next week or so.

And.... it's done! Just submitted the below pics to my GML. Once I hear back from him we'll submit for EIB and eventually Centurion! Getting nicer photos made with a real camera tomorrow.

 

 

In the words of some Mutant Enemy - "Grr. Argh." (Cat doesn't even care.)

Shiny new pics acquired!

 

[PhoenixTrooper[TK]]

And finally approved!

Finally managed to get the lights hooked up in the helmet. Here's a quick video. Sorry the image is kinda bad, but my phone is sorta sucky at that. There's a flashing alarm light behind the broken lens, and a sparking electricity light in the side tube.

Were you the other Death Trooper at Dragon Con with Charles?  

[PhoenixTrooper[TK]]

Yep, I was the one without the mouse ears.

This is a pic from Con, which also shows the new weathering with more olive color they asked for. Once I get over con crud I'll repair a couple things a drunk guy broke, then throw it on and take my Centurion pics.

This.. I am just stumbling upon and will probably use this as a reference. I came across some old Commander Cody Animated armor (pretty busted up) and will probably try a "ZOMBIE CLONE" for fun. This thread will be helpful. Well done!

 

I have to ask, what did you do for that helmet!? Or what is the face made from?

I'm working on approvals for a Zombie Death Trooper in my Garrison right now and did a lot of looking back on what you've done here as some guidance.  Very nice work.  Nice attention to detail.

[Shanester[TK]]

Did you do anything to weather your undersuit?

[PhoenixTrooper[TK]]

Yeah, but it doesn't show up well in photos. I hit it with some brown spray paint mist to look like dirt, but you have to redo it every couple washes. Actually hit the neckseal with the sander on the dremel, bit don't want to put holes in the suit where skin would show through. I like it being washable, so not adding zombie spots.
