Grand Moff Niko Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hi there guys. It's been years since I started this project. I work full time, and have three children under the age of 5. I have very little time and money to spend on this hobby ( about $250 USD a year ) so it's taken me a while. But the good thing about that is - I've spent a lot of time on this forum. Daily for years. I don't post much. It's a great wealth of info and help. Thanx to all. I'm yet to get this bad boy on. It's on a Mannequin at the moment ( see pics ) waiting my next troop.

Grand Moff Niko Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 Thanx everyone. I normally don't do 'show-off' threads. But this was a long project. I started off with set of 'Altmann' stormtrooper armor back in 1995 !!!!! Then upgraded to an TE2 about 4 years ago. Lots of homework and work later - I have this. There is way to much sand. I put extra on. I'm sure I'll loose some on it's first troop. Few thing wrong with the pack. But for everyone who loves their armour - It's never realy finished. There is always something we want to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophet Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Looks perfect ! Love the display, is it on a standard mannequin or did you build a custom one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Moff Niko Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Looks perfect ! Love the display, is it on a standard mannequin or did you build a custom one? It's on a standard one. Original the arms went behind the body. I swapped them over and swang them around to the front. Here is a pic of my pack pre-weathered.
