After doing some research a R1 storm trooper is very, very different to the armour of one from ANH. The back, kidney and ab plate are very, very different.

I didn't know there was a Britannia patrol tbh. I'll have to track them down.

I'm torn at the minute between what to do exactly, but I've got a fair while to decide.

An R1 TD would be cool, but I'm not even sure how I'd go about doing that at this stage. I have done no research into the difference between R1 armour and ANH armour. I know there is a big difference in helmets

Once the shoretrooper is finished I'll start on this properly, decide exactly who/what I want to do and go from there. My planned timeline is to weather my current TK helmet then finish the blaster and backpack before the suit arrives.

Thanks, it's still not fully loading properly, which is probably my phone, but I've found the guy that I would like to go for.



I'm gonna have to rewatch ANH a few times to get some screenshots of him

I need to do a lot more research on who I would like to use as the basis for my suit, I've seen a couple that interest me. Especially as I wouldn't mind giving a T-21 a crack! Ha.

That reminds me, I found a visual guide of the various troopers seen on screen and their equipment, but now can't find it anywhere (may be because I am now on Tapatalk).

Man that's a serious wait time. Since you're in the UK,  have you looked into TM armor or RS Props? Have you joined the 501st yet? If so, update your profile here and provide your link to your 501st profile for verification so you can access 501st only sections here. 

I have looked at propmasters, but ATA is considerably cheaper and I have built one of his suits before, plus I only need the hard armour as all soft parts are the same as the TX. It's not as much of a concern because I have a shoretrooper to build and the pack, which will require research

I'm not 501st yet, I'm just waiting on my neck seal and I'll be submitting my TX for clearance. Hopefully will be cleared soon. Once done I'll link my ID.

I'm thinking of joining the MEPD. I'm currently a serving Officer with Essex Police over here in England and guess I fancy a transfer to somewhere warmer. Ha.

 

I've got my TD suit on order, which is a 10 month wait, but have a Shoretrooper suit arriving soon which will keep me busy.

 

It also gives me time to get to grips with the TD backpack, source parts and figure that out.

 

I also already have a TK lid which I will be modifying to be a TD (essentially painting over the vent lines on the traps and then have a go at weathering it.

 

My aim is to go for SWAT level as I don't really like the pack, so would rather go for a TD without.

 

Saying that, I'm also toying with the idea of going for a RO TD (if the Jeddha patrols count).

 

I guess it will all depend on how successful my pack turns out

Just had my registration authorised so thought I'd say hi.

I'm James, a Police Officer from England (hence my interest in doing a MEPD suit). Ha.

I've just finished a TX suit from ATA and ordered a TD suit from them with the intention of going for SWAT level and picking a specific trooper.

There's a ten month wait for the armour, but have got a Shore Trooper to build first, and then a pack. And a blaster...
