Ok i have had a little break from building anything but am now back on track, so let the armour chronicles continue.. We shall call this phase 2 , ESB. I did get the ESB stunt kit from TM but as i was previously in a hurry to get trooping in my new armour so i used my Dan Laws ANH stunt helmet and latex rubber glove combo from PugMan. I have trimmed my ESB snow trooper style hand plates and here they are with rubber gloves. I may get some silk gloves in the future, im not sure yet.
I was also very lucky to have the company of Pete aka StukaTrooper over last night and he graciously offered to help re-assemble my TM helmet. I had already put this together but was not happy with the look. You see i have opted for the rarer looking low brow, hero style seen in ESB with only 3 teeth cut out. I like to be different Pete did an awesome job reworking the helmet while i polished off the sandwiches.. I have found the TM helmet one of the hardest to build up because there are not any trim lines on the ears to work along. But Pete's model skills shinned through here. The outcome is very nice, thanks you Pete. I have added the decals from Mike TK4510, which are the most accurate made to date and the hovi mic tips and painted the frown and vocoder and still have to add the lense, neck trim and paint the ears.

Looks superb, a goods nights work by StukaTrooper. Were the sandwiches up to the same high standards? ;-)

Ok i have been working on my new belt for the ESB suit over the last couple of days. Here is is just before i riveted the plastic ammo part to the canvas belt
I have also repainted the frown and vocoder on the helmet as i didn't like the matte paint i tried. This time it is satin. I also detailed the ears and
neck trim. All i need to do to this now is add the lens and foam liner. Oh and paint the screws white..
Here is the belt riveted together and with and without the rivet covers glued on. I will work on the drop boxes later. Remember this kit comes with separate
rivet covers and ab plate buttons, so be sure not to get them confused

Ok the helmet liner and lens are in, lets call this helmet finished
And here is the belt finished with the drop boxes attached. You see once again i used 1 inch white elastic just as i did with my ANH set up, with the elastic looped over the belt and riveted to the drop boxes. The leather holster is just looped over the belt on the right hip for ESB, unlike ANH where it is riveted to the underside of the belt on the left
The last photos show all you need to convert your ANH armour over to ESB..

Very nice work on the armour there firebladejedi, great attention to detail all round. Which ESB blaster are you going for or are you just doing a generic E11?

Thre was a guy on the RPF that used to do them called pugman, not sure if he still does them but it might be worth looking into. I was considering doing the
parts to go on a pipe and resin version at some point...its on the list anyways !!

Sandtrooper Backpack | #275 | ||

Posts: 19 07/20/09 18:06:30 |
At long last, after much time spent on finding the right parts and the restrictiveness of the star wars galaxy
Here is my finished Snadtrooper backpack. Total cost around £50-70 mark... This is the closest I can make this to the original, and out of sheer frustration of not being able to let my creative passion run free i've added the Imperial logo on the stinger as an up yours 
I would recommend this as a first project/build. The parts are big and chunky (No fiddly bits) Three colours only. If you really-really want to go down the twisted path of making this movie accurate - all I can say is - It's a long path... 
(Personal rating of fun points to make: 7/10) Enjoy... K5

Yeah looks great koola all it needs is for you to stop keeping it clean now
Nice lewis gun , is that a cushmans vacformed one ? I will let you know fireblade, been trying to get hold of a real M19 or M32 scope to cast from but they are rarer than hens teeth!! The rest of the parts I can scratchbuild but you can get resin M19s on e-bay from time to time. I think correlian exports does a nice one which is cast with brass powder in it.

Thanks for the feed back guys
And yea, it will get hit hard with the sand storm look 
And as for the Lewis - found it on ebay a few months ago and as far as I know the guy who owned it before me, had it shipped over from the U.S. (vacformed) about 3-4yrs old... Then he spent many hours making it moive accurate, and he did a very good job. K5

That looks fantastic well done on the Back pack and although its not entirely accurate who cares the anul 501st need to remember its not really real
, youve done a great job, the imperial cog is a nice touch too..
i look forward to seeing the rest of this come together if you need any advice just let us know, youve taken a big step into the dirty world

Aye
Thanks Supa, it was a pain to build but no pain no back pack!
And yea, I forgot to add the four black shot gun shells on the top side unit
They were made and ready to add, but in rush to pose for the photos..... DOH....! Plus im sure there are zillions of tiny little bits that are wrong, but it was built from a guide from a 501st member So it kinda isn't my faultright... LOL
After this build and the time it took finding the most accurate parts I could, Im now just going to work on projects I enjoy, it's great trying to work out how you're going to add this part and spray this etc... but when its not your creation, the love for it fades pretty fast, if you get my drift?
