FIVE Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Well, it has begun. I've got armor in hand and am building away. Bucket is already assembled.Before you ask... yes, I'm going for SWAT with this. That's the plan. Since I've already been deployed as an Officer you can forego telling me all the things I'll "have to do first" to get Officer status. This is my second set of ATA armor but really it's like it's my first because my other set was sold before I did anything to it... and I must say, WOW! I can't believe the quality of plastic and the sharpness of the pulls. It's just insanely good!So... here are pics — these are probably especially good for you all who wonder what the ATA armor pieces look like.

DarthChridan Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Hey Noel...old house.... nice to see that you'll assmble a new sandi build ...and of course, the 'stop that ship' is a cool sandtrooper all the way Especially the paint on the helmet. I've some time ago made and painted such a helmet for a good buddy. Here's the result(but still without the dirt details)Sry...I've no better pics of them--->> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantina Security Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Nice , ATA is nice. Only thing it's missing is some of the AB details. But you got that bro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIVE Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Okay brothers... I've gotten a lot done — next part is strapping and then weathering. Here are a few update pics. All my armor trimmed. Making the "groove" in the long rectangle on the ab plate. Making the "circle" on the big ab plate square. Finishing strips glued, clamped and drying.

sandtrooper Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 What kind of strapping are you going to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 What kind of strapping are you going to use? ============================= I've got Troopermaster's kit with the screws and such for outward appearance — even though you never see those on the "Stop that Ship" I'm adding them... just like the other details on the ab plate aren't seen but I added.

ex507 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Wow. I love your improvement on the ab detail. This always bugged me with ata. I think about doing this modification to my armor as well. Looks much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Wow. I love your improvement on the ab detail. This always bugged me with ata. I think about doing this modification to my armor as well. Looks much better! ================================================ Thanks! I also modded the top of the left thigh to have the "notch". I simply cut out the notch, then "curved" the new return edge using the craft iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 GREAT! This is going awesome. Can't wait to see it finished. Saludos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 I love it when the strapping is done to a point you can put the armor all together and hang it. Only a few more finishing touches before I'm ready to weather the armor... sand that is... Tatooine... Dewback patrols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
