Hi guys, can anyone help me with the installation of the mp40 pouches to the sides of my belt?
How do you do it?

Lets wait for the most experienced guys to chime in, and comment their experiences

Well... Is one of the best armors there are to buy, and depending how you put the pieces together it will have a closer or farther look to a screen used armor.

Well look at this one.
I have it treated because the leather was a little dried, the product the store used to treat it make it darker, it was clearly brown when i bought it.
Nowadays still is brown, a very, very dark brown.
It looks darker in the photo

The thing is, if the had a dynamic range problem with the cameras (that's why Vader had gray in his mask), the same can be happening with the possible very dark brown leather pouches...

Were the screen used leather mp40 and spanish pouches black? Or dark brown?
To me some look a very dark brown
And the ones that look black, must have a piece factory black.
Do you think the production team took the time to dye black those pieces?

For example, the helmet of the "look sir droids" is the same of the dewback rider and one of the troopers in the docking bay shootout, but the armor has different set up.
I believe there were only 6 full suits for the tattoine scenes

The reason that happened is because between shots, the actors playing the sandtroopers will take off parts of the armor and pile them on a corner until is time to shoot again during the undressing and dressing process some actors will switch pieces without noticing the mistake or worrying about it.
There are many of those cases during the few minutes we see the sandies on screen

Impressive, most impressive.Today, a little work on the kidney. Yesterday glued, today filled, sanded and painted. But only in the grinding area. Found a color that exactly matches the ABS.
Amazing work on those shims, please, do tell us the secret

Some people specialize in retrieve files from drives, im just saying, there is hope.They are not broken, but they are old. I am not computer savvy and don't know how to retrieve them.15mm is a good size for the tube stripes, though some may be shorter or longer by 1mm or 2mm. They didn't use a stencil for the stripes but it's obvious they used tape to mask the edges, so that's where there will be a slight difference in stripe width from helmet to helmet. The amount of curve on the stripes vary too.
I noticed that, yes, the curve and thickness of the stripes vary even in the same line of stripes.
The thickness seems to be something around 3mm, but as you said, that, for sure varies among the helmets.

Again, first time i see that one.Here's another. Like I said, any others are on my old hard drive that I cannot access. In fact, I have 2 that date back 20 years - both have some rare photos of helmets and armour.
And the drives, are they broken?
By the way Paul, ¿are the tube stripes around 15mm tall? I read that in some thread that i cant find now

I got this one and there are more out there. I have more on my old hard drive but cannot access them.
omfg.... is the first time i see that one.
Paul, if it is not too much to ask, can you please post the rest of the photos?

Well, good to know that i can stop looking for moreThere are no more reference pics of this helmet, at least none that I know of, I am sorry.
But these should actually work fine.

Thank you Thomas!
Some more pics. This helmet has an amazing amount of fun little details:
screen reference:
mine:
RoCKo was so kind to provide the following reference pics of the helmet (note: cleaned and obviously taken after filming)
always followed by a pic of my helmet arranged in the same way:
is somewhere in the net or someone hard drive more photos of that screen used helmet?, specifically the tube stripes

Congrats Arne!!!

this info is coming very late, but
all sandtroopers wer "played" by two persons, the guy inside the armor and the guy that did the voice

I think the thing that makes yours looks odd, is the inconsistency between the chipping in the corner and borders and the lower surfaces less prone to be scratched, it looks too clean in the parts less likely to be scratched with normal useThanks. Agreed, I tried to add the chipping in places of likely contact or if it was scraped on a surface. It I see what you mean . It’s a bit too random.
I based the weathering off of these photos.
But now in hindsight this is probably the prop after many years of degrading paint.

It looks,.interesting, maybe the chipping should be just in the areas where it would normally chip off first, like the areas of mayor contact with other surfaces

Hi Rick, i hope you are safe and well.Decided to go with just the one "more accurate" end to the dewback prod
its about 8.5 ft long
That tip is very weird, is someone currently making those?
You know, a "screen accurate" version, though i believe that is impossible unless we discover what the **** that piece was, or is

Thanks! I'll sand down a bit the top an down and i will get back here with the resultsAll of our gear is wonky as **** and it's good!
I think you can sand down the top and bottom edge just a tiny bit more until you're almost where the block begins.
For the left and right side, have a look at screencaps:
They weren't all the same, so don't worry too much about measurements.

Hi guys i hope you all are ok
I come here to create a thread about how much to cut the plastic part of the belt, on the top, sides and below
Does anyone has a reference in mm? From the last block on each side how much do the belt should extend?
And on too/below, how close the do the edge should be to the blocks?
The photo is my belt as it is right now
Btw did you know the the blocks aren't perfectly aligned?

Mine is put together with magnets in the torso, so i could easily disassemble it, but i definitely don't want to carry the helmet outside the box.Personally I wouldn't go any smaller but I know that some people completely disassemble their armor and put it in a small suitcase, carrying the helmet in a separate bag.
