    After building the Pack 4 & 5, i will built another Pack. Since I'm also planning to build a new Trooper (Roadblock private), it has to be Pack # 1.

    519 Trooper and Hausi have already given good guidelines.  Nevertheless, I will also study the film images in order to discover something new. Little by little I have already bought parts, some I still had ...

    And let's go with the Shires. It's actually crazy, but I sawed up an original UP100 to build a UP90 - which was used for this pack. I've shortened it by an inch.

    Next I will modify the Karrimor and finish the Seed Trays ...

     

     

    Glad to see I'm not the only crazy one out there cutting up their siphon!

    Hello everyone!! It is with such sorrow that the ANH SE Sandtrooper will not happen. I am not able to secure a backpack. I will keep the ROTJ TK and just weather it to match the battle of Endor.

    Thanks to all who followed and I am still available to help with the CRL.

    Aww that’s too bad man. Maybe down the road you can convert to a SE Sandy!

    I can post what the pack looks like that I have built. Should be pretty accurate.

    Yea your pack is great! go ahead and post. I have found a bunch of found parts that match should anyone want to scratch build.

    Toilet float ball, Aladdin thermos, Ribbed PVC connectors, etc. 

    Also the base is vaccuformed with pretty soft details. I will post of photos I have found of the actual prop soon! (I just don't have them on my work computer)

    Im looking to do this sandy right now.. I'm 1/2 done my build but I'm looking for the CRL... or some direction.. Ive built like 7 TK's now.. I dont need any help with my building... Just specifics.. I have both sandtrooper and TK parts... everything except the clam hands and the backpack.

    It looks like it has Jedi parts... but not sure on the knee looks like it could be TK knee.

    Any help on my build would be great..

    Thanks in advance.

    ROTJ armor will be needed. The pack was made from found parts and custom vaccuformed pieces. I will get a post together soon of the pieces I have identified.

    Hi guys.. Mike ...TK41576 of the Canadian Garrison here. I'm working on a new kit, I'd like to do the SE sandtrooper.. I'm a little confused to what armor I can and can't use. I know its jedi armor reused but its the ANH era... with a TK Ab and knee.

    I have a  TK with TD parts..1/2 buit now... but Im looking for clarification before I go further.

    I seen that the magma trooper is a jedi kit but there was talk of allowing ANH or ESB kits for basic as its in that era...

    Please help.

     

    For the special edition trooper you will need the ROTJ armor for sure. There was talk about allowing ANH modified to look like ROTJ, but I think ROTJ should be required since it is pretty clear from screen ref. 

    Though I think you could get away with using some parts from a ANH kit as long as it was constructed and modified to match the ROTJ armor.

    I cannot find any more info on the pauldron used by the SE troopers, help please.

    Im not sure either, my guess is they were custom built. Material to me looks almost like neoprene.

    I also think a similar look could be achieved with EVA foam. Its definitely flat. Shouldn't be too hard to make.
