DirtyBoy Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 We are putting together a guide of each trooper for the SWAT program and who better to ask than the troopers who have done the research and mastered an amazing build!!! What I'd like to see is the details that make your build different than a standard build. What I mean by that is....if your trooper has a pauldron that the reference material shows white on the underside, submit that with what you have. If there's new information that has now come to light and wasn't included in your build, don't worry...we won't make you update it lol Thanks for your help brothers.

Rolf Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Just to inspire... Many out there owns a TE line age suit: TE- TE2- Cap- Cap-W, ATA, PT, VT, MOT etc. If they like its pretty easy and quick to make it a bit more ANH accurate. The helmet are all ready a great ANH helmet, the body armor are a ROTJ body armor modify into ANH. But there are some mistakes here and there, but they can quickly be modify if you like. A few parts are hard to modify, such as the right arm needs to have 12 holes, and the left 11. The TE have 11 on both arms etc... its a hard one to modify your self, maybe buy a few ANH parts if you like, like a right 12 hole arm etc. But check this TE2 pic out here, i have marked the mistakes whit red, and post about it down under:: You just need to modify, and iron head the corner again whit a round edge: 1. The chest left and right (easy). 2. No hold going down in right bicep (hard). 3. No like going out on right shoulder bell (hard). 4. Back plate needs to be cut left and right (easy). 5. Right leg cut corner on top (easy). 6. Belly string going up from the ab box (easy). 7. Cut down in the small box covered by the 3 sandtrooper dots (easy). 8. The dot going out in the sandtrooper ab (easy) 9. 12 holes on the right arm (hard) Here a few pics of my RS to compare the TE2 whit: Troop on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Also, what do you guys think about a relabeling of troopers in order of appearance. For example Something like TD1= TD2= TD3= TD4= Etc....etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick.black Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Rick, This is a great idea. If we can narrow down exactly which trooper can be considered as which then it will make things alot easier. Although we have only had about 4 or 5 specific troopers replicated for SWAT so far, and there are at least 30 different variants I can think of off hand. It will be a fun thing to work towards.

Rolf Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 A swat guide line would be a great thing for the mepd for sure Something like this a like maybe: http://www.mepd.net/crl/ I did the brake down of 21 ANH Sandtrooper´s from top to toe, and post the set up here on the mepd a few years back. Terry did the computer design of them as we know. Heres one of them: Maybe we could do the same kind of thing like the one above, for new SWAT members to follow. Keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchy Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Man..this is again so inspiring to see the breakdown and modifications pointed out. Great work and especially great thanks to Rolf for the detailed explanation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthChridan Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Rick...awesome idea....but I think you to have to open a new topic...here is rather the discussion, eh!?!...so it's confusing and everything is rather lost. And because of the TD Nr. ...TD1, TD2 etc....that's a great idea. I'm in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc6538 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yup. I know I'm not SWAT yet, but have been researching my costume for it Totally agree with Daniel,I think it would be a good idea to have a separate thread for each version of the costume, otherwise it's just going to get messy if everyone posts here. But this is a a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yes, great idea. Perhaps we could begin each thread with the diagram that Rolf and Terry did, and then supplement the thread with details that we have each used and incorporated. I've got some material to include for my "unique" version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 each version will have it's own thread to post the reference materials and information and then maybe have one "master" post that will show all versions (it will be locked and only updated by CS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3laton3 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 The lines in the bells in my personal opinion should be straight on both bells for the TDs and also I think that all the suppliers around are doing a bell version from the Hero suit. We should change this as well. Please check the research that I did. http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=11430&st=0#entry142721 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3laton3 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 it could be useful for each TD a reference for the weathering too like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplehaze Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Rick, This is a magnificent idea. I have just received my armor & was planing on building to SWAT straight up. Also those photos of Rolf's assembled armor are going to be a huge help just on there own as I have started to tape things together for fitting, but had no idea how much actually had to be trimmed of & how the final joins should look (butt not overlap). I will be printing them of & using them as a guide. Thanks Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Excellent. I have some free time coming up and should be able to start putting this together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
