How do these pieces compare to the FX armor? Is the only change the deep sides? I can't remember what FX actually looks like anymore.

Tyranus is your man!

Wow intense, I will watch for sure, thanks for letting us know.
-
Thanks everyone. The pack is based on the "Number 4" pack
So it needs some sort of row of short tubes or something on that upper left section and the long tube on the left side too, I haven't finished those bits.
-
That upper right part is a vintage Tupperware Stow and Go, eBay usually has a few.

I used 2" white elastic for my shoulders back in 2006 for those exact reasons TM, I always wondered if I'd end up replacing them with canvas eventually, glad I never did. Thanks!

Very nice Rolf, love how this suit came together the weathering looks top notch too. I think it's fantastic how accurate you are getting with each new suit.

Thanks so much guys.
Helmet is a smooth cap and back TE, it's one I got from Seth a few years back. I'm working on another helmet already as I prefer to keep the Seth one as a display helmet.
The pauldron is from the California run last year, I just missed one of your excellent reproductions Rolf. I cleaned and repainted the AP armor as I felt the original white was too blue tinged which always bugged me and really showed up in flash photography.The radio for this pack is supposed to be "upside down", at least, on the original pack I based this one on it was that way. It's a Sci-Fire radio I got way back years ago, I also have a SB/MH/C radio but after spending the cash on the Sci-Fire radio I had to use it even if it's temporary, I can always use the other for the next, more accurate pack that is always inevitable.
I'm also trooping with the Sci-Fire MG-15 (gotta have them all right?) and I have the Sci-Fire pouches attached to the pack and the belt which look great. I'm loving the rubber and latex gloves I got from Stormtrooper, hot but seriously good looking.
It's a decent start on a Sandtrooper and it works well for 501st events.

This year I've been revising my Sandtrooper a bit and although I'm not quite finished in these pics I couldn't resist posting a couple. Of course all thanks to MEPD for all the massive help and such excellent advice and research threads. Heck maybe I can even get deployed now!
-
I took this pic of a friend the other day, it's along the same lines even if it's not a Sandy.
-
A momentous day, sad yet happy, a new start, congratulations!
I cut mine off years ago now, I can remember each dread and where it was, my favorites and the history of them as they grew and combined. It's like a phantom limb, just thinking about them makes my head tingle. I think I still might have mine stashed away somewhere, I'll use them to scare my daughter with when she's older, yuck!
-
Great research Braks, hope this leads to another discovery, every little new observation is very exciting.
-
Gasp. That looks really sharp, just makes the pack pop!
-
Congratulations Ray!!
-
Mike, WOW! Those look incredible, great job to you and everybody who worked on them. Demand will be high!

The Special Edition made it out the door of ILM and that was atrocious. Both in content and execution. No respect for the original and what made it right.

Trailer -
There is much more than is seen in that trailer too. There is also a text commentary that describes all the changes made. A sampling from a couple minutes of footage:
-
I can get you one too Sands. Just PM me. Same for anyone else that wants one. Domestic US is $2 for each copy just to help towards the cost of materials and postage. Outside the US is not much more.
I had a couple that I sent out last time that didn't work which I replaced for free but most of the feedback I got was they worked fine. I have PAL or NTSC, DVD5 or DVD9. DVD9 is better quality and is more expensive for me but has a slightly higher chance of being incompatible.
Great version of the original Star Wars, anyone that hasn't seen it really should, it's the true Special Edition.
-
Very nice work, these have serious pedigree, can't wait to see as it develops. Thanks everyone involved!
-
Me too, man those scopes look cool, the Sandtrooper MG-15 is such a great looking combination of parts.
-
Nice work on that Rolf, looks great!
-
PP sent for 1 medium shirt. Thanks!
-
1 medium for me, looks good!
-
Mine arrived last Friday. Wore the belt one Saturday morning. Thanks Lee, John and Art!
