All the Rancor dudes

Today I edited the seed trays and adapted them to the frame according to the film references. The parts were also tested. I wasn't satisfied with the first Brexton. During a discussion with the other dudes, an electric box was also mentioned. However, here in the picture I can see a groove that is missing on the electrical boxes. That's why I took the angular Brexton. However, the angular Brexton has a flat lid and the bead is missing, which I think I can see. That's why I changed the lids and now I like it. And then shortened the frame

A funny project

As Greg says: - basic: you can build a sandtrooper according to the crl as you want. No matter which pauldron, which weapon, which poiuches, which weathering - you don't need a backpack yet. - Level 2 (Police officer): You can build a Sandtrooper however you want. No matter which pauldron, which weapon, which pouches, which weathering. From now on you need a backpack and have to adhere to the CRLs for the PO to be closer to the film model. - Level 3 (SWAT): You emulate a specific sand trooper from the film and recreate it in every detail: Weathering, pauldron, weapon, pouches, backpack. But with all the details, just like in the film. Under certain circumstances with damage, ducktape, etc.

You must start with no rank, after some months you can be a private with black Pauldron, than after a year a sergeant ... no, it's a joke. You can built what you want. For PO, you don´t must emulate a specific trooper. You can use the Pauldron you want, the weapon, you want ... all is possible. You are already registered in the MEPD. Here you can expect help with armaments construction. When everything is ready, you submit the finished costume to the GMO of your garrison. Then you are basic approved. If you want to do Levvel 2, i.e. PO, pay attention to these special features already during construction: If you have met all requirements, you can create a thread in the PO section. However, if you want to reach level 3, i.e. SWAT, you should choose a specific trooper before building, so that you can go specifically on him while building. Everyone seen in the film de Trooper has certain characteristics to look out for. Therefore, choose one, study it and pay attention to the details while building it.

Today, some Backpackparts arrived ....

Hallo Micah, Für ein basic approval und auch alle anderen Level gibt es CRL´s, nach denen Du den Trooper bauen kannst (sollst): https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TD_sandtrooper For basic and PO you should choose a trooper with pauldron (rank), as this is required. You don't need a backpack for basic, but it is necessary for PO. You can do the special TD "no rank" at level 3. You don't have to build a normal Stormtrooper to upgrade it. You can and should build a sand trooper right away, as the armor is also different. The suppliers of kits already have Sandtrooepr on offer. It is best to find out from members where you can best buy a kit from you. Here in Europe there are, for example, Troopermasters, RS-Props, RWA-Creations or DA-Props. You can of course get help for building armor here. There are plenty of illustrated threads here that are into building it. You can also ask questions at any time and about any step. Here you will be helped gladly and safely. Best Regards bigwam

Absolutely great!

After building the Pack 4 & 5, i will built another Pack. Since I'm also planning to build a new Trooper (Roadblock private), it has to be Pack # 1. 519 Trooper and Hausi have already given good guidelines. Nevertheless, I will also study the film images in order to discover something new. Little by little I have already bought parts, some I still had ... And let's go with the Shires. It's actually crazy, but I sawed up an original UP100 to build a UP90 - which was used for this pack. I've shortened it by an inch. Next I will modify the Karrimor and finish the Seed Trays ...
