Ilovesand&dirt Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Here you go: Must Have Items A Sandtrooper must have the following: * White Sandtrooper (or modified Stormtrooper) armor, made in ABS, HIPS, or Fiberglass. * Black Gloves * Black undersuit, either one-piece or two piece. Non-textured material. Commonly used items include “UnderArmor” or “Starter” warm-up suits, or dance unitards. * White, ankle high, laceless, Stormtrooper boots. The boots are usually made from Leather, or Vinyl, with small U-shaped elastic sections on either side of the ankle, and an approx. 1” heel. * Desert Backpack, styled after the ANH sandtrooper packs. They are comprised of two main boxes, that are the approximate width of the backplate. The boxes are adorned with various smaller boxes, and canisters. * Dirt, accomplished by a number of painting techniques. Most common & accurate being a multi-layer treatment of either tempera, or matte acrylic paint, followed by one or more layers of fuller’s earth. Other methods include, but are not limited to; Spray paint & sanding (usually multi-layered), application of sand or actual dirt in place of “Fuller’s earth”. * Pauldron (Black, Orange, or White) Made from vinyl or leather. * Black Leather, Vinyl, or Canvas Ammunition Pouches (MP40, MP38, or similarly styled) Worn on the left shoulder, and also on the belt. * Flat rectangular detail, with smaller horizontally oriented rectangle centered on width, and towards the top of the larger rectangle, on abdominal plate. (On stormtroopers this is the “buttons & ridges” part) * Diamond Knee plate. Six sided (hexagon) mounted onto a five-sided “diamond” shape, with a point on the bottom. This plate is located on the wearer’s left knee, attached to the shin part of the armor. * Flat green helmet lenses, made from lighting gel material, or green welder’s mask face shield. * BFG. MG34 (DLT19), Lewis Gun (T21), or MG15 (unnamed in SW galaxy). These weapons may be scratch-built, resin cast, hyperfirm rubber cast, vaccum-formed, or real demilitarized guns. * No “drop boxes” (small rectangular parts attached to stormtrooper’s belts, above the thigh). * No black lines in grey teardrops or vents of helmet.
