To add a bit of discussion here: Weapons. I know they’re optional but since they ‘complete the look’ per se, what should the optional weapons be? The page for the Heavy Stormtrooper says ”The Heavy Stormtrooper is the Heavy class for the Galactic Empire in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront II. They wield the DLT-19 Heavy Blaster as their default primary weapon. Heavy Stormtroopers can also wield the DC-15LE heavy repeating blaster, the FWMB-10K heavy repeating blaster, and the TL-50 heavy repeating blaster, like all Heavy units.” Should we include all these as optional weapons to carry? And the Sentry ability lets you wield a Z-6 Rotary Cannon so that could be counted as a weapon too.

I’ve got an AM kit coming that will be made into an ROTJ suit, I’ve got the trim in hand and everything to convert it. I’ve sent Sskunky a message to inquire about a helmet kit. Hoping to hear back from them soon!

After scrutinizing the helmet for a little too long, I’ve determined the best route to go is to get an ROTJ helmet. The in game helmet matches an ROTJ helmet, just cleaned up nicely and made to look a bit more symmetrical. I spent way too long going over every detail and comparing angles, symmetry, decals…. ^ ROTJ helmet for comparison

Permission to refer to it as the Frankentrooper?

Well well, lookie here. After doing some research and finding an old thread on the MEPD, this looks familiar! The BF2 pack appears to be the same as the ANH SE Sandtrooper pack in some shots. An interesting development…

The ammo pouch and the armor trim have arrived! The pouch is gray in color because while looking at the game model, I saw weathered bits of gray and thought taking a gray pouch and darkening/weathering it is the best route. Stay tuned!

Congrats!

Still working on the undersuit, been in contact with Sheev’s Emporium and Darkside Closet. Ordered today the trim for the armor and the MP40 pouch. That should settle everything for accessories (sans backpack, still working on that.) I’m making a 3D printable backpack from scratch so once that’s ready and I have it printed, I’ll share the file here so everyone can use it.

I managed to get ahold of the exact model used, ripped straight from the game. So I took off the chest and back plate. Safe to say, the entire suit is ribbed. I didn't remove the other armor pieces, but I took a peek down the sides and they're fully ribbed even in areas that aren't seen at all. Interesting choice but likely done to save time in the 3D modeling process. The gloves are indeed Rogue One gloves as I thought.

Could do. I’m just figuring if this is the first one of this costume, I should go that extra step for exact detail. Then if anyone else decides to do one, they can look here and see who I got mine from, or get ideas for how to make their own. What I’m thinking is the R1 pants as they are are perfectly fine, have the shirt be fully ribbed with the neck seal built in and no zipper, functioning as a pullover like underarmor.

So Geeky does not do R1 suits at this time. Shame, I would’ve just had one modified. Other makers that come to mind are Jimmiroquai and KeepTrooping. Worth a shot to ask if they’d be up for some custom shenanigans.

I’ll message GeekyPink and see what she can for the suit, this’ll be an interesting one.

Rogue One undersuit by the looks of it, which tracks. The developers probably used a modern undersuit for all the armors.

New screenshots I just took. I thought the neck trim was white at first. But nope, it’s black. Just the game engine lighting messing with me.

I’ll look through this and get some nice big printouts of the in game model so when I’m assembling the armor, I can follow the model and modify my armor as needed to be as close as possible.
