Kylendm Posted May 6, 2025 Posted May 6, 2025 I already have my hand in a Deathtrooper kit but I always wanted to do a Sandtrooper too. Is it okay to use the Denuonovo helmet as a start? https://www.denuonovo.com/products/star-wars-classic-imperial-sandtrooper-helmet Quote
Punisha Posted May 8, 2025 Posted May 8, 2025 That helmet should work. The issue I'd have with using an already weathered helmet is trying to match the weathering style and colors in the armor. 1 Quote
Kylendm Posted May 15, 2025 Author Posted May 15, 2025 Valid point. When starting a Sandtrooper build what is a good starting base? I don't have a 3d printer so I'm more interested in buying a kit and building from that. Quote
bigwam Posted May 16, 2025 Posted May 16, 2025 Hello, I would advise against 3D printing anyway. I don't know where you're from, but there are very good kit manufacturers in the UK (Troopermaster, RS-Props, RWA-Creations), and I highly recommend them. It also depends on your requirements – should it be as accurate as possible? Then RS & Troopermaster. Should it be good and affordable? Then RWA. Should it be affordable and troop-ready? Then DA-Props from France. In Germany, there's Ironmotion, which is also very good. You can find all the ones I mentioned on Facebook. Unfortunately, I don't know what manufacturers there are in the US. Try talking to a member of your local garrison about where they got their kits. You'll probably get some help there, too. Quote
Kylendm Posted March 8 Author Posted March 8 I've decided I'm going with a RS Sandtrooper. Does anyone else have one? One guy in my garrison said they include a dlt-19 is that true? Does the kit include the backpack or just armor? Quote
Vf2112 Posted March 9 Posted March 9 Good kit to be sure Never heard of them coming with extra but might be they have deals these days If you look through the backpacks section there are ppl who offer kits though Let us know if you have any troubles glad to help 1 Quote
Volksjager Posted March 9 Posted March 9 Nice, I had a garrison buddy who bought an RS kit, and he was very happy with it, though it didn't come with the extra. Building blasters and packs isn't too difficult, though and makes for a great project. 1 Quote
dak Posted March 9 Posted March 9 I have a RS regular Stormtrooper and a Sandtrooper (police officer) They are top of the line kits for sure. No one is better. Plus your ID is labeled on the inside, but if you break a part etc, all you need to to do is to contact them (buy the part) and they will send you a new one. 2 Quote
Kylendm Posted March 11 Author Posted March 11 Just placed the order for the armor, helmet, suit, orange pauldron, boots, etc. I'm very excited 😁 Does anyone have suggestions on who to go to for blasters and such? I'm most interested in the dlt-19 but an rt-97c would also be amazing. Quote

Vf2112 Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Have you thought about making your own blaster? They can be expensive to buy Depending on your tool situation, cost next to nothing to do yourself. 1 Quote

I have basic tools like a dremel, drill, hacksaw and a drill press but nothing like a 3d printer unfortunately.. Quote
Vf2112 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Oh that's more than enough Should be a heap of tutorials on YouTube to get basic ideas from Quote
