Does anybody know, how to disassemble this front cover of main barel? I have removed these two front screws, then front sight, main barrel and I don´t know how to get it out. If it is possible without destroying it.
-
Interesting. Can you make more photos of this counter, please?
Btw, I had in my hands deactivated sterling and this folding stock mechanism is cool
-
Why not, but you will have glue it, when it hardens. Because these material don´t bond together too much.Thank you TomG
I'll go with reinforcing it. First I thaught fibreglass can't be applied on ABS

Hi all
Question here ///// I found out that on several spots on my armor are too thin(like thigh parts on the back),if there anyone ever had a same problem,what do you do?
I dont care about accuracy at this point,but to preserve my armor(nor bucket) while trooping,its hard to deliver things like an armor to my country,so i want to make it last forever i hope
Thank you very much for any help
You have few options.
1/ Buy from somewhere replacement parts that are thicker
2/ Reinforce them with fiberglass
-
dont get me wrong,but.....i taught FX is popular because of the size,and sure does fit most peeps there
but......cant had all the beers in the world
And it was and still is cheaper than "screen accurate stuff".

My 2 cents. I think as said above, that Sandtrooper are regular Stormtroopers with a little modified armor to be ready for more hostile climate and more dangerous planets. They have for it heavy weapons, backpack to survive long time outside of base.
They are placed on distant planets with limited supply routes, with longer patrols they don´t have time to wash armor or get new from supply. They replace it only when armor is really damaged. May be these soldiers are more skilled to survive in hostile environment, something like basic commando training. I believe, that on imperial planetes or ISD they have supply with replacement armor and for sure some place, where you can put armor to wash it chemically not by hand like todays soldiers need clean own boots
Why sandtroopers these black lines on greay areas on helmets? To have less holes in helmet and prevent from dust get inside of bucket.
As for Endor I think, when Emperor said, he sent here the best troops, he didn´t lie. He was crazy but not stupid. But probably in chain of command somebody made mistake or it was rebel scum, who changed few details about designation. Instead of sending here elite troops, he sent rookies. I would expect on Endor some elite jungletroopers with camo on armor
Not white stormies, that can be harmed with small stones and little bears -
Some progress on sanding. I´m thinking to leave it that way, to be dirty trooper
-
Some more progress, here are more parts of armor with final painting and scratches. Include new version of pauldron. Thanks Rolf for advice about this pauldron. It is not final version, but we are on right way I think.
-
It is great, when you can paint with colors. I wasn´t patient enough for it, then I used pencils or black ink and then went to 3D
-
Here is part a bit more weathered. Who had to know, that this red dust will be that visible O_O. We have here really dusty planet.
But don´t worry it is not final stage, it will be sanded again.
-
Some progress on armor. I did as I said. All armor parts have this graygreen color HPDE like, to have scratches on whole armor. Not only helmet. Photo before weathering.

Haha, as I mentioned before, this would be a second conversion to daddy status as I already have a (nearly) 5 year old girl.
But at least this one is boy, so I now have one of each, that seems so hard to do these days. People seem to either get 2 Boys or 2 Girls.
Yeah. I noticed that after posting message.
-
Very cool. Trooper VPier just converted again to daddy status.
I hope you will be great dad again. My son is just now 14 moths old. I only hope he doesn´t want small armor when he grows up a bit. -
Hmm why I have feeling, that you can make conversion of some available custom MG-34 for airsoft and much cheaper.
One member from our Outpost thought about airsoft version of E-11. It was first thing, that he was interested, when it was decided, we try make this E-11 later with some modern technology to look like real idealized blaster weapon.

Repast from another topic. It was too much tempting for me to don´t make it
-
Sorry, too much tempting
-
I think we will wait for photos of finished product and final price
-
Thanks Rolf.
Ah I forgot another update. Custom made neckseal V1. You need cotton black L size shirt, piece of foam and piece of velcro. It is not perfect, but it is better than typical neckseal on ebay. Yeah thanks to my mother for this
-
Then we have here right thight. Again riveted together from both sides. Here is visible this covering plastic belt with bremeled holes. On next photo is thigh from inside with velcro belt to attach it to straping system and glued a bit hard foam. And it is visible here glued back covering plastic belt.
Dimensions of these belts are taken from Mike´s (TK-1536) TD build.
-
What will be next? Yeah right promissed legs.
Here is new photo of left calf for sniper knee plate. Whole part is riveted together and it is covered with plastic belt. You can see some filler on it. I put here too much glue and it damaged this plastic. Later will be seen detail of this belt with dremeled holes to cover rivets.
Next one is photo from inside to show how much are rivets dremeled from inside. They will be covered with foam.
-
I see guys, you have here fun.
Lets continue. Black leather boots from box (price something about 55$) and then I replaced this black rubber on sides. Next one will be painting with white color for leather. I will use paintbrush. I have it tested. But I need to buy this paint first
How did I replaced this rubber. Manualy, using knife, scissors, needle, nylon yarn etc. Really nasty work. But my XO will try ask tailor to do it for him.
