    A couple more pieces! :D

    RIGHT INNER THIGH:

    Posted Image

    Ward the pic of the Inner Thigh (Right) armor piece looks promising and > accurate than the existing FX piece. Looking forward to see the rest of the pictures of the Upper Thigh armor for both legs.

    I'm just wondering how much is the coverage in between the front and back of your AM abdomen plates that you've shown :

    before a gap can be seen. This is relation to a trooper's waist size - will it cover well for troopers who have 34" to 35" waist?

    Hi Rolf,

    Like to know how did you put these parts together on your MH/SB Backpack (yes I'll be embarking on mine in due time after the rest of my parts have reached me safely ;) ) :

    1. Mortar Tube

    Any pics to show how you assembled this to right side of your Backpack Seed Trays / Frame?

    Also what is the exact lenght in Inches/cm of your "Mortar" Tube before adding the End Caps?

    2. Exhaust Port

    Any pics taken when you assembled this part? :)

    3. Backpack Straps

    What are the materials did you use and how did you attach them to your Backpack frame?

    Thanks bro :)

    Ha ha its a deal.

    Good thing is, that its only the sandtroopers i work whit.

    (i will all ways have a ANH stunt stormtrooper, but the sandtroopers are my hobby.

    And i will never stop, if someting better comes up for them)

    Right now i wait for my:

    1. Sci-fire MG-15.

    2. Dan Laws TK/TD suits.

    When i get them, i hope Sci-fire will make there pauldrons.

    Then i get all 3 ranks there, and if they make a full accurate back pack kit one day.

    I guess i take one too there.... and then... i might be done... but again... who know :D

    FFWD 30 years from now, we'll have TD-252's (Private) Sandtrooper Museum on Planet Earth, where you can find the complete range of Screen Accurate Sandtrooper Replica props and Paraphrenalia ever produced. ;)

    Sounds good bro.

    Now that its your first, better make it up to 10 to 12 hours.

    Roger to that bro. 10 to 12 hours or even longer - you know that I have pretty limited spare time in hand. <_< Maybe I'll start off by correcting the miniature, but screen accurate Marmit 12" "Move Along" Sandtrooper Backpack that I've in hand as practise first? ;)

    As we know the MH/SB/Charlie kit is not a full kit, but all most, and the most accurate out there to get. Good luck whit finding the last small parts, and put it good together.

    Agree on the most accurate part. The parts that I've sourced locally to complete my Sandtrooper Backpack build are the Backpack Frame, Toilet Cistern Syphon Unit, PVC pipe as the Mortar and CLOROX disinfecting Wipes Cannisters. :)

    Now need to source for the right type of Backpack strap.

    See you, when you are ready for duty my friend :)

    I'm progressing slowly but steadily towards that direction bro. :)

    I will say:

    About 2 hours to trim the parts.

    3 hours if you humbrol brish paint them, 30 minnuttes if you spray paint them.

    Assemble/glue, screw, strip them together, 3 hours.

    So i will guess around 8 hours or so in total, then your ready for duty ;) .

    Thank you for sharing from your experiences bro. I guess that its going to take me one full weekend to get my first one done! :lol:

    Bombproof Armour?

    in Sandtrooper Armor

    TM do we foresee a new generation of long lasting durable armor in the years to come? ;)

    This winning combination of screen accuracy and flexibility will be its endearing hallmark. :duim: I wonder if 1.5mm is the optimum thickness and is this plastic a type of Styrene with heavy rubber contents to give its extra-ordinary flexibility?

    Trooper Shoulder Straps

    in The Barracks

    Posted

    Does anyone have a good picture for sandtrooper shoulder straps? I was originally going to use cnvas to match the belt but learned that it was actually elastic.

    I used the same canvas material as my belt for mine. But like Mike said you could use some strapping underneath to join the front & back pieces of your chest armor.

    Here is a reference pic from www.looksirdroids.com :

    that indicated "Vaccuformed ribbed straps were added over the shoulder of the stormtrooper armor to help hide the connection of the chest and back plate. The sandtrooper lacks these ribbed straps.***."
