Fricken Awsome! I had alot of fun. I have some pics but they are not that great, I will post some from the DVD release!
-
Nice!! Of course what much time between the Untrimmed and Trimmed photos?
Dang, with all you guys getting a second set of armor I might have to look into getting another set too! Of course after I finish up school December and I get the job i am going for.

FX type armor doesn't typically need paint, though you could paint it if you like. The ANH type armors require painting. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but either rust-oleum in the tall, silver can, or the krylon paints are best.
I've had great success with the Rustoleum in the taller silver can, SKU# 7592. Dries very fast and the finish is smooth and durable. No aversion to the plastic fusing Krylon brand, but I thought the white when compared to the Rustoleum did not look as good.
However, after some more thought and investigation, if you're going Sandtrooper, what does it matter.
I used the same paint, works and looks great. When painted the armor retains the gloss under the dirt look.

On a different topic, why call the AA/SDS bucket 'dodgy'? I thought those were done with the original moulds.
Oh ****, TAKE COVER!!!!

Hey! Is that a Meatstock helmet?
Just kidding! I swear!!!

Guns
ePS: After viewing that site, I wonder where the majority of the creators are getting the helmet trim from. The photo provided by CMANavy is of his TE armor bucket - he AND I own TE armor and both of us have the same trim. **Hey Joe, nice speakers.
That trim looks great and thats what comes with the TE helmets. If it is off a little bit it will not matter, having a trim makes it look that much better.
BTW - 2581 You should have a set in the next few days, they are in a yellow padded envelope!
-
Here is a pic of what the trim should look like.

How about swift processing of applications? Some of us have been waiting awhile now.

Awsome! I may have to get another one of you outstanding helmets! BTW you suit can fit a 6'4" 265 frame, I made it work.

I don't think so, it is probly a VSF.

1536 posted the other helmet, here is the other Sandtrooper helmet. In my opinion the two most important Sandtrooper helmets period.

I don't think many people will see the rivet. I glued mine, it is really gled one there.
-
Ebay. But it is not a cheap hobby.
-
I go tmine today as well. and I agree, its a POS and not much like in the pics on the websight. It is going to take some work to clean the **** thing up. But on the other hand a blaster is a blaster.

Thanks, my Clone Sgt is comming along but I wont finish it for a few months yet. I also have a very nice ROTS helmet (a WC) that I have not even touched yet.
-
A new update!
-
posted a pic in the Hard armor section.
-
I am getting to it. Pics will be up as soon as I finish the leg shims.
-
I just finished the weathering on my armor today, except the helmet. I can't bring my self to dirty up the bucket yet, it is so hard to do! The rest of the armor looks great, my blaster is going to be here this week so I am just about done. The last fer things I have to do:
Shim the thighs
Instal the leather belt
Buy a set of good pouches
Pay for my pack
-
Great Armor, looks like we have another TE TD!
-
PM sent on teh speakers, if anyone would like some PM or Email me.
I finaly got an update on my application from the legion that it is being processed, but now I don't know how long it will take from this point on.
-
I don't really care where it is. I just need to know with enough time to plan for it. I am not going to miss another Celebration! I will be in the Next ANH Movie suit Photo!
-
A very easy way it to cut a rectangular strip in the size you need and velcro either end and stic it in there. That is basicaly what I am doung for my leg shims.
-
Take a look at my helmet and you can see how far to trim them out. You basicaly want to get rid of any ridge in the eye, plus it really helps with visibility.
Finaly, Pics of my Full, Dirty TE Armor!

Well, here we go. Here are my offical photos with the completed armor, dirtyed up with the pack. As soon as I get some more I will post those as well.
Updated the pic, I photoshoped it a bit to bring back the dirty detail
