nick.black Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Posted this over on UKG forums but wanted to see if anyone has an opinion on here too. Hoping to get it cleared pretty soon! Ok as I'm nearly done with my new TM sandy that I've been working on for nearly 6 months now, I need to upload this as a build thread so that I can get ready for clearanc to be submitted very soon. Backpack is almost ready, which is why it isn't on in these shots but at least I can show the armour build to date. I've been trying to emulate the trooper from the alley check scene who provides cover on the door as the Orange pauldron trooper knocks on the door, as seen here: Here are my shots of armour on after weathering Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog44 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Never thought dirt would look so good! Awesome job with your armor and weathering! Straight out of the sands of Tatooine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Beautifully captured, Nick. Down to the tape and the 'sloppy' hanging belt The only thing I noticed - and I wouldn't normally have pointed this out - is that the knee ammo belt is hanging a little lower with the reference trooper. But again, awesome build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.black Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Yep that's on my list of things to sort out, along with the fact the sniper knee plate needs to stick out so it doesn't get caught behind the thigh. They'll be done for the finished article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozzer86 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Wow ! That is one of the coolest trooper choices Nick, that looks fab mate. Hope I get to troop along side you at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.black Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Thanks buddy really appreciate the feedback. We will get to troop together soon definitely. This guy is a oft overlooked trooper here in the MEPD and something a bit different, which is why I wanted to do him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tube Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Gorgeous. Stupendous. I love the attention to gaffer tape detail. It just sums up everything that makes the desert troopers the coolest thing in the SW universe. They've never been bettered. Great gear, so cool.
