WOW!
Really cool TD bro!
Congrats!!
Saludos.
And yes, Sandtroopers get all the love!
Thanks, I had no idea now much more attention the TD gets over a TK. I also made a Tusken Raider and that gets tons of attention too. Seems people prefer the dirty...

Was a hit trooping this, TD's get all the love.

Update as of AUG 20th my TD was approved. Police Officer deployment will be later this week.

Well after I built my first AM ANH Stunt TK back in February of this year I decided to make a ANH Hero TK and then turn my Stunt TK into a Sandtrooper. I finished my Troopmaster Hero in June and then began work on converting my AM TK into a TD.
Here is my AM 1.0/2.0 hybrid Stunt TK
Followed by my Centurion approved TM Hero TK
The conversion of my Stunt TK to TD needed some TLC and some upgrades so I replaced the Hand Plates, Forearms, Biceps, Helmet, Thigh Ammo Pack and Shins all with TM parts. So my Frankenstein TD is made up together with TM parts and the AM 1.0 Ab, Butt, Kidney and Thighs, and AM 2.0 Chest, Back and Shoulders with and a AP Belt.Here is my Sandtrooper weathered and ready for deployment, submission photos submitted standing by...
Here is the customized Dirtyboy Filter pack weathered.
The Berkal mystery geeblies added on the
Leather wrapped Radio box, the front removes and the speaker holes are drilled out. I have a Aker amp and iPod with the TD chatter looped inside. The radio dials, mic ports and side clips are upgrades from P3laton3, the functional switches are from Crashmann
Here are the Blaster pouches, before and after weathering.
The armour is weathered with oil paint, black and raw umber in a 65/35 mix ratio. I did a light covering of the piece then wipe the majority off it away then blot on dark patches. The pouches are weathered with Sandpaper and a file to wear them down then I soaked them in hot water to soften the leather and then twist and beat the leather to distress it further. Once dried I did multiple coats of acrylic colours in washes and dry brushing. The pack is weathered with acrylic paint and then hair sprayed in areas and grout applied to those spots and then dry brushed to enhance the details.

Here are my 3 TD pouches I weathered, these are the ones made by Blaster. Process is sanding and filing down the leather edges first creating wear. Then soaking in hot water and twisting and beating the leather to add an aged look followed up with several colours of acrylic washes.

Outstanding work...

Where is the rest of it...?
-
Any chance of doing another re-run on this patch?
-
Woo Hoo! It was a long journey but you made it there! Awesome!

What did you use on the ab plate in the middle box to add the missing detail? A washer riveted on?

I bought them on Amazon...

I have the filter pack so getting this is a must. Please let us know when a sales thread is up!
-
Can someone post photos of the finished shirts? It would help to see what they look like to see if its what I'm interested in. Cheers!
-
Looking good, wish you well on the approval process.
-
Can you offer these without the pin back? I'll likely glue one on either end of my TD storage case so not having the pin to remove would be great
-
Any chance the pressure gauge dials for the radio are still available to order?
-
Congrats Chris! Good luck on your Swat application.
-
I have 3 pouches from Blaster 8266, the Canvas shoulder pouch, the MP 40 pouch and the Road Block Pouch, also the Trooper 1 orange paldron. I'm looking for worn weather finishes. I'm not going for a swat level only police office so not replicating and specific screen TD. I also have Dirty Boy's filter back.
The paldron I have the rest are in the mail to me this week.

What's the best approachs to weathering the Pouches and Paldron?
