I have an RS prop commissioned costume and I had to make many changes for the PO clearance (new pouches, backpack changes, armor changes). I also weathered the armor and it is not that hard to clean off their weathering at all, I just used soap and water and it was gone. I wanted a much more weathered approach and did it on my own. I left the hook and strapping kit and it has been fine for me. I have had to make repairs on the armor, but that is common and happens with troops. I have not had to make any changes to the hooks or straps. I love their kit and I am soon working on a SE sandtrooper.

Looking great on the SE backpack Shawn.

Hey Brother, how are you?
So the time of the SE TD has finally come?
I did some deep research on the SE TD a few years ago when we tried to build the first CRL. I don't remember if the pictures I gathered ended up somewhere over the board, but I think I might still got them in my backup drive. Just send me a PM or even better, a mail, if you would like me to send you those files.
Some are the classic references, but some are (or were) very oscure materials...
let me know.
Saludos.I tried to send you a PM , but it would not allow it. I am good and I appreciate anything related to the SE TD.
Thanks.

Hey everyone, I am finally working on the Special Edition Sandtrooper. I plan to post photos of the progress and all the research I have discovered along the way. There is also a research build in the SE Sandtrooper section that has been super helpful. I will also discuss armor purchase, the E-11 blaster, pauldrons, weathering, SE back pack, and everything else in between. I hope to have this built by the end of the year and I am so excited and cannot wait to add this costume to my collection.
I also hope to finish this CRL and get more SE sandtroopers out there patrolling and arresting the Empire's scum and villainy.
So far I have purchased ROTJ armor from TM armor, a SE Crookknight's backpack (a new version with new source material), a ROTJ E-11, some items from Trooperbay, and new TK boots. I plan to build this costume from scratch and will update everyone along the way. So until the items arrive, we will play the waiting game.
Thank you my TD brothers and long live the 1997 Sandtrooper!

We had the CRL mostly written but without someone actually having the armor to be approved in there's nothing we can do. The CRL has been on hold for that reason.
Well I have some ROTJ armor on the way and I plan to get this built this year. I hope to start a wave of new SE Sandtroopers.

So I have done more research into the pauldron and two of them are from ANH and two are rubber. I noticed this after rewatching the scene like 50 times, the GG toys, the transition from the SE scene to the OT scene and how the pauldron matches the one sandtrooper kind of hopping in the back due to a pinch in the armor. This photo also show the ribbed neck and it appears the pauldron is pulled forward. The pauldron looks smaller probably due to the size of shoulder bells on the ROTJ and how they sit over the forearm. I will get more information once my ROTJ ships and I begin working on it. I also plan to continue the research until my costume is complete and ready for CRL submission.

I plan to get this version completed soon. I have spoken with CFO on a ROTJ kit, I believe that the boots I use for the ANH will work since their boots have black soles on them. I plan to order a pack from CrookKnight and I already have an extra E-11. I think I could modify it to a ROTJ and I need to get the pauldron done.
I have always loved the SE look from the first time I saw ANH in theaters back in 97. So here I go.......

I think you a lot more photos for the PO deployment. You should read the description on how to apply for deployment.
-
WOW! Looking great bud and best of luck on the SWAT deployment. I really hope they don't go too ******* you.
-
I think this will be my next build, I will need to find some ROTJ armor and get a back pack. Thanks for creating this thread, long live the SE Sandies.

Special Edition Sandtrooper Build
in Sandtrooper Armor
Posted
TM RotJ Kit has been shipped and should be here next week. I have 3D printed the RotJ blaster and that is ready for assembly. My TK friend and I will be working on it and it should be done by the end of this month as long as we do not have any issues. I am still waiting on the backpack from Crooknight and he is posting updates on this thread as he can.
