Nice kit Jaster. A new box of armor is an exciting time.

Now get to work.

I can't check ebay from work, but Jango_Wes has one up for auction. http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27905 With times being what they are, a lot of guys on TDH have been selling off some nice stuff. If he keeps checking the TDH Cargo Hold, he should be able to get one soon. I'l...

Thanks Jackie, Wags & Pete.

The kit I have is currently available from the maker. I'm not sure what his back log is like, but he usually can get one out to you in a couple weeks. PM me if you want more info.

Pending Ripcode's (and the LMO's) approval, the GLG will have a new 501st Grunt in the ranks.

This thread on the RPF should be of some help too.

My first pieces of weathered armor.



How am I doing Ripcode?

More painted parts and a partially painted bucket.

Not a lot of time for a full update, but I have completed boots. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i115/BH8875/Clone%20Trooper/Boots/CloneBoots11.jpg Some painted parts. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i115/BH8875/Clone%20Trooper/Armor/CloneArmor90.jpg And some ready to paint parts. http://i70.pho...

Not yet smart guy.

I did get some filler in the seams.

PM sent.

Latest test fit.

I got the legs mostly sized up, but I need to make a few tweeks to get it fitting just right. I think I need to take a little off of the bottom of the thighs to stop the armor from catching on the knee strap and also gain a little more mobility. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i115/BH8875/Clone%20...

The helmet is looking sweet Jackie.

You guys want to paint mine too.

Nice work on the neck seal.

I like watching progress threads so keep the updates coming.

The cosume looks fantastic.

Nice armor and helmet choice.

Here is my latest fit up pic. I wanted to get the knees on before I adjusted the thighs. I'll end up taking a little off of the bottom of the thighs and then lowering them down, so that there is a bigger gap between the thigh and the cod. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i115/BH8875/Clone%20Trooper...

Thanks for the tip on the thighs Wags. I thought they looked a little high. There is plenty of room on the inner thigh for my boys, but the front ridge needs a bigger gap between the cod piece. As for what version ... a grunt. We have plenty of officers and need some bodies to fill in the ranks. :D ...

Nice costume choice. :thumbs: My question is, is it possible to make one without vacu-forming it? We don't have a lot of money so I doubt we could afford to have one made for us (I know of at least one guy who does them). Has anyone here ever attempted their own helmet? I have not tried to make my o...

The helmet and pistols are looking great, Jackie.

It's been a while since I posted an update, so here is where I am now. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i115/BH8875/Clone%20Trooper/Armor/CloneArmor47.jpg I have to adjust the bicep and shoulder a little, and maybe even lower the thighs a hair. Once I get those pieces adjusted, then it's on to the ...
