Another TE2 suit coming up.

[Rolf[501st]]

Hi troops .

I got this beauty from our very own master T, 3 days ago (got the helmet today).

I trim the the body armor today, and it only took me 130 minuttes.

I only used these two sharp dudes for the job:

 

Here you go:

 

 

Just 5 minuttes after i have trim the body armor, mr. postman came in whit the helmet too:

 

Thanks for this beautiful suit T, and all the extra gear in the package (t-shirt, stickers, bows, cards, snacks, cash for imperial juice)

See you in the cantina Master T, first drink on me bro :

 

Cheers

Awesome Rolf!

Are you making a sandtrooper?

[Rolf[501st]]

Awesome Rolf!

Are you making a sandtrooper?

 

Copy that.

This beauty will be a sandtrooper.

But when i get my Dan Laws suits, i will get both a TK, and a TD.

So then i will deploy your guys too there asap

Wow you have a few suits

[TK-2126_MD[TK]]

Nice!!!!! Even Kitty was into it!!

[firebladejedi[TK]]

130 minutes? I bet you can trim armour in your sleep

 

Looks great Rolf as ever, i really look forward to reading your build threads

[stukatrooper]

nice one mate,its about time you got back into armour.Do you still think you are getting your DL suits?

[Rolf[501st]]

Wow you have a few suits

 

2 for display, 2 for trooping.

+ my wife is also a 501st, so she use them too as she likes.

+ i will give one to my son, if he likes one, when he gets older.

 

I love all the figures in the old saga, but i only collect ANH stunt stormtrooper suits, and sandtroopers.

So i seems crazy, but some in my garrison have even more, just different ones, like tie, snow, scout, vader etc.

 

Cheers

Ha ha all most bro.

But today i was slow, i used about 4 hours to make the bicep, arms, legs, shins to fit right, and glue the strips on whit E6000...

New pictures up asap

[Rolf[501st]]

Copy that big time bro .

I sold my last suits in december, and buy the DL suits there.

But they are on delay, so i want back in armor now.

I think i will get the DL suits, but not sure when...

[ThayNerd[TK]]

Looking good Rolf.

[Daetrin[Admin]]

I'm stunned by how fast you trim these suits Rolf. Great work, as always.

Thanks bro.

I have been working hard on him again today.

Cheack it out BAM!!!

 

 

It took a long time to match the parts 100% good together, but now they are good to go.

I tape them up from the inside to hold the shape, before i E6000 glue the strips on.

 

 

 

This time i did not use clamps, because they can´t reach the middle of the parts.

I therefor used a strong paint tape (it leave no glue on the parts, after taken off).

I will let the E6000 glue dry to tomorrow, before the tape comes off.

 

[firebladejedi[TK]]

I dont use clamps either Rolf, just plenty of blue plainters tape

 

Great progress!

[ThayNerd[TK]]

This is looking really great Rolf.

[Madmartigan]

Dude your my hero Good stuff.

Probably 15mm for arms and 20mm for legs....

[VacTrooper]

[Rolf[501st]]

I cut 2,5 cm for the legs, and shins.

2 cm for the bicep.

1,5 cm for the arms.

Do you glue together both the front, and back of the arm and leg pieces? or do you apply velcro ?

Do you paint after all the glue is done?
