CrookKnight 60 Report post Posted July 20, 2017 Here is where I am at. Still have some detail work. Lvl 2 an 3 will have more detail and a different base. Lvl 1 will be made of more readily available materials.I will post a build thread.Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of the parts will have to be 3D printed. The design process has already begun. Below are the refrerence photos I am using. If I had some from underneath the pack, that would help even more.

Airborne Trooper 301 Report post Posted July 21, 2017 Shawn, you might want to look into a vacuum former soon. 3D print master parts and them make parts out of ABS, might help speed things up but it's also costly. You're doing amazing work! Love watching all your project's progress 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrookKnight 60 Report post Posted July 21, 2017 I have been looking into vac forming myself. However, I cannot afford one of those machines. Anyone know how to build one or where to get plans for a large one?Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Homemade frames, a powerful vacuum cleaner and the oven in the kitchen..and then the fun and burnt fingers can commence 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrookKnight 60 Report post Posted July 24, 2017 That would be tough for me to do. Either I would have to find some armor cheap to quickly build a sandtrooper or convert my existing heavy weapons trooper armor into sandtrooper. Problem is I would have to retire my Centurion level heavy weapons trooper armor. Anyone know where I can get a used or inexpensive armor set? Haha. How quickly would you need pictures?Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BenFriday77 23 Report post Posted July 25, 2017 Just sell a couple packs and you can buy RS Props armor lol. But he'd need a ROTJ-armor for that SE-Sandtrooper That would mean buying a complete new set from either CfO or TM (both do awesome RotJ-Armor!!).I'd love to do that (the controversial nature of the SE-Trooper always attracted me!) but I really don't have the funds now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
