CrookKnight Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Here is where I am at. Still have some detail work. Lvl 2 an 3 will have more detail and a different base. Lvl 1 will be made of more readily available materials.I will post a build thread.Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent work so far The level 2 pack will match the reference photos exactly. Most of the parts will have to be 3D printed. The design process has already begun. Below are the refrerence photos I am using. If I had some from underneath the pack, that would help even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Shawn, you might want to look into a vacuum former soon. 3D print master parts and them make parts out of ABS, might help speed things up but it's also costly. You're doing amazing work! Love watching all your project's progress 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrookKnight Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I have been looking into vac forming myself. However, I cannot afford one of those machines. Anyone know how to build one or where to get plans for a large one?Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homemade frames, a powerful vacuum cleaner and the oven in the kitchen..and then the fun and burnt fingers can commence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrookKnight Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 For me personally, I am now looking for armor to make a TD. I would like to be able to wear the 4 different packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrookKnight Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 That would be tough for me to do. Either I would have to find some armor cheap to quickly build a sandtrooper or convert my existing heavy weapons trooper armor into sandtrooper. Problem is I would have to retire my Centurion level heavy weapons trooper armor. Anyone know where I can get a used or inexpensive armor set? Haha. How quickly would you need pictures?Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenFriday77 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Just sell a couple packs and you can buy RS Props armor lol. But he'd need a ROTJ-armor for that SE-Sandtrooper That would mean buying a complete new set from either CfO or TM (both do awesome RotJ-Armor!!).I'd love to do that (the controversial nature of the SE-Trooper always attracted me!) but I really don't have the funds now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlavaFlave Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure either, my guess is they were custom built. Material to me looks almost like neoprene. I also think a similar look could be achieved with EVA foam. Its definitely flat. Shouldn't be too hard to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFlavaFlave Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
