Not to hijack this thread from the dead, but I just wanted to post how my ESB helmet turned out I haven't scratched it up yet, I'm going to wait a day or two and then roll it around the driveway a bit. Check out the thread on FISD if you want to see the build progress: http://www.whitearmor.net/forums/index. ... c=1181&hl= See you on Bespin soon Mike!

Good stuff Rolf! I just checked the website and it says they're also available in black, is there a reason you got brown? They shouldn't be hard to dye black of course before they're painted white, so these look like they'll do the trick either way.

Alright so what're you boys sayin' about this new trim? Close but not quite? I agree with Paul that this stuff is a bit too think and round, and I'd like to get as close as possible to the real trim for my helmet. If it's out only option I'll snag the Webers stuff...too bad Sealsdirect had to blow it just before I start a helmet.

Rolf is my hero!

Awesome!! I'm entirely jealous that it's taken me so long to get my ESB trooper together, but seeing yours gives me an idea of how well it'll pay off

Yepper, actually Clutch spotted that about a year and a half ago on the RPF http://www.theRPF.com/index.php?s=&show ... &p=1082859 Don't let my bubble bursting stop you from compiling as many HD Stormtrooper caps as possible though!

Very differently!

Just....replace the storm with sand

I'm desperately trying to find an affordable pair of the proper black boots. I've seen them go by chelsea or jodhpur boots, but they seem to go for a fair bit on eBay and are all in the UK. I found a couple eBay sellers, but the shipping is a killer. I'd love to find a North American source for some good boots!

I'll definitely be interested in an ESB version whenver you get those going

Just finished this build for my bud Colin, aka TD551. I was asked to do one on a budget that still had a relatively accurate appearance rather than just grabbing random parts and throwing them together to look like a "spacey" pack. Here's what I was able to do for $50: I shot this in the middle of the night with just a light from my porch, so the colours look a little off. I'll snap some during the day this weekend though. Hope you guys like it, I didn't have the budget to get in on Seth and Mike's boxes or radio plate, and some details were fudged, but all the packs are different and I wasn't going for one exact design. Overall I'm quite pleased. I found a set of hamburger stackers at the thrift store for $1.99, some containers that have dimensions close to the accurate ones for $5 each, a pool filter for $9, scratchbuilt the radio box, and scoured the basement and recycling bin for everything else. Oh, and 100 points to the first person to decipher the aurebesh text!

Accurate armour on a girl beats boobie armour any day in my book!
