A new CRL - Battlefront Magma - for MEPD
CrookKnight replied to Daetrin's topic in Battlefront Magma Trooper Armor
My bubble lenses should be here next week for my ROTJ bucket. I will take the new pictures with the newest version of the pack at that time. I will also go ahead and photoshop them for you guys. -

My bad. But still looking for the picture of what MEPD would require for SWAT. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

What is the final consensus on Backpack #1? Does anyone have a picture of the one that the GML will use for approval? I have seen different discussions on this, but cannot find the official MEPD picture showing it. Do I use the image on Looksirdroids.com?

Crookknight's Sandtrooper Armor and Pack Build Thread
CrookKnight replied to CrookKnight's topic in Sandtrooper Armor
Of course you're going to want to practice a little bit before you use it. When I do my next piece. I will post a link to a video that kind of shows the process I use. You don't want to get over-excited and melt your armor or trim off too much. So I have a process where I work my way in the outside in and have steps where I check it while I go. I do a lot of this with my packs. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk- 33 replies

Yes. It is cool. It has been a while since I have done armor. That is one reason I am posting here, so people can let me know if I am screwing up.- 33 replies

Crookknight's Sandtrooper Armor and Pack Build Thread
CrookKnight replied to CrookKnight's topic in Sandtrooper Armor
Yes. Harbor Freight tools. Under $100. I have used this one for a year. Right now I'm only doing the initial trimming to get rid of the excess material. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk- 33 replies

Crookknight's Sandtrooper Armor and Pack Build Thread
CrookKnight replied to CrookKnight's topic in Sandtrooper Armor
SHIN AND THIGH ARMOR I decided to build the shin and thigh armor first. As with any armor, there is a good amount to trim. However, there is an easy way to do this. Instead of using a knife or scissors, I use a sanding table. With this thing, you can trim all of your pieces to the size you need with ease. This is the sanding table that I use for everything (especially building my packs). It only costs about $75 USD and is worth its weight in gold. Here is the shin piece before I start. Sanded down all corners and pieces within about 15 minutes. By turning the sander vertical, you can match all of the angles of the armor easily by using the end. Initial trimming of the piece is all done. Next, I will trim the other 3 pieces to this state. Once completed, I will then size to my shins, which will involve additional trimming.- 33 replies

A new CRL - Battlefront Magma - for MEPD
CrookKnight replied to Daetrin's topic in Battlefront Magma Trooper Armor
In final assembly right now. It is actually more gray than Green in person, but the pictures make it look more green. Weathering is complete. Copper pipes have been added. Letting everything dry tonight and then final fitting and pictures tomorrow. Most pieces on this pack are 3D printed. So this is very lightweight including the respirator.

I am going to go with that. I will also give it the chipped and weathered look to match the photo. The pack will be ready on Saturday along with everything else. I will post finished pictures here. -

Here are some photos with light weathering. I think with weathering, it could match really close with the game pictures. -

CrookKnight replied to Daetrin's topic in Battlefront Magma Trooper Armor
Here are pictures of the first paint job. I will weather it tomorrow which should make it look closer. But I think it is a good start. -

CrookKnight replied to Daetrin's topic in Battlefront Magma Trooper Armor
ok. I was only able to find (2) choices for the Green. It is hard to tell in this photo, but the lower one is the one I think is pretty close. I am going to stop by 2 more stores on my way home. But I will try the lower green on my pack cover to see how it looks. -

I am going to pick up a couple of different greens today and test them out. I am almost finished with another one. I can have something to show everyone by tonight.
