TK-1287 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 (edited) Just got home from LegoLand last night where I debuted my AP Stormtrooper kit built in the ESB Style. I'm aiming for EIB, all I'm missing so far is my blaster. What do you guys think of it Andy TK-1287 Edited July 12, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photo updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmian Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Looking great Andy! Are those the boots you painted? BTW: Trooper, your blaster is DEFECTIVE! (what's that? a LED hanging from the front? ) P.S: You inadvertently answered one of my doubts: A blaster is not a requirement to get into the 501st.

TK-1287 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Yep, that is an LED sticking out, that's what I get for lending it out, haha. As a replacement blaster, I have a Makerofthings that is under construction, and Lewis at Sci-Fire offered me a Hyperfirm one with no Counter for the ESB version of the blaster. I am actually all ready in the 501st, this build was to reach Expert Infantry status at FISD. My boots are white jodhpur boots that were leather painted white, I have a thread about it here http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?show...amp;#entry90299 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin[Admin] Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Look great there! I think the shoulder bells need some adjusting and they keep sweeping back, but otherwise looks great to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-1287 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Look great there! I think the shoulder bells need some adjusting and they keep sweeping back, but otherwise looks great to me. Thanks Paul! That they do! The elastic is about 1" too long on each side. I just need to pop out the snaps on the elastic and bring them back a little. I also I plan on making a few extra elastic straps to keep them straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-1287 Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hey Andy! You sure did an awesome job. That armor looks great! Thanks John!! This suit fits me so much better than that FX kit. It's much more comfortable than that suit ever was! Nice armor, Andy!!! You just need to keep those boots tucked inside the shins Yes I do!! I just need to break in the boots some more. Been trying to wear out the elastic so the shins won't ride up on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need to break in the boots some more. Been trying to wear out the elastic so the shins won't ride up on me. Andy here's a tip for the boots... I have some velcro attached to the top of my boots and to the inside of my shins, thus when I put on my shins they stick to the top of the boot.. perfect.. works like a charm..
