    Lites are pretty cool....but a Stormtroopers helmet would be configured for passive night vision. I/R and especially heat. Ask any modern soldier who is in an armored vehicle. They use heat (thermal) makes people jumpout from the background. I do like the lights....but not likely imho

    Using thermal vision on Tatooine..... hmmmmmm unsure if that would always work, lol

    Also if you go into hot chambers they could come in use. ;)

    I see your point tho.

    Weapons Weathering ?

    Same here. I just drybrush where the black paint wears off showing the resin. I also paint inside the imprinted lettering on my E-11, in silver, as it makes it look more real because you can see it was taken off of a real mag.

    For slings however on BFG’s I muddy them up with shoe blacker, as I an imagine oil and dirt getting caught in the fabric.

    But yes keep ya gun clean as possible so ya don’t get blockages ;)

    I decided to start a project a while back to try and make some non-cannon armour.

    The armour was to be the hybrid of the Clone Trooper and the Sandtrooper. I ended up coming pretty close to the imperial Commando design.

    This is the quick drawing I did:

    So far i have only done part of the helmet because of other projects, but I hope to have the armour by November.

    Luckily I have a friend who knew exactly what to do.

    First of all we trimmed down the parts so that they all fit together again. Then we glued the parts together with plastic reinforcements inside. After that we sealed off the ends with some more plastic:

    I then filled the gaps, and sanded down:

    We then attached some extra plastic supports:

    Finally I re-sprayed it, and heavily weathered it:

    I hope this helps anyone who fall into the same breakage problem

    What does everyone think of how it looks, with the new weathering???

    "Here's me beauty", lol.

    I made the sling loop by hammering some steel rod into a loop; I then attached it with some thick plastic and rivets.

    For the adjuster I used a "ladder fastener", that I weathered with my gun.

    I then wrapped the webbing round the other end (very tightly), and attached pop rivets.

    The weathering was dry brushed on, and then I lacquerd it so it’s nice and shiny.

    What does everyone think??

    Sorry to dig up this old fossil, but I just had to show you guys my new mod. Basically its a torch, similarly attached to my helmet as the one in "Star Wars -Clone Wars".

    It is constructed of an aluminium torch, and one piece of HIPS, that has been shaped over the top of it. I then attached it using the two machine screws on my helmet, so that it is removable.

    What does everyone think?

    A friend of mine has built a few replica slings before. He made a perfect match for his Lewis gun, a few years ago. And said he would lend a hand with mine.

    Other reasons for building one from scratch is weight & durability. The material used on the original slings were heavyweight WWII webbing, this frays and falls apart over time. The one I shall be making will be Polypropylene webbing, very light weight and heavy duty material. PLUS, if any frays occur on this webbing, you can simply get a lighter and met the fraying edge together (I have done that a few times on my armours webbing system, and no problems have occurred.)

    Thanks

    Looks good! The trigger is really cool. Are you adding a sling?

    I shall be making a sling soon, from scratch. So I will keep the thread updated when I start.

    Looks good man, personally I think it needs some weathering. You don't want to be that trooper with the nice and new gun, fresh from the assembly line do ya lol??? I would also paint up the stock to look like woodgrain but that is just my opinion.

    Very true, weathered it shall be! B)

    I don't want to paint it in wood grain however. As in the movie they seem to have sprayed the stock black, along with the gun.

    Thanks again

    Luke
