Looking good Rolf!

[Trooperman]

Another fantastic build thread Rolf , TMs ANH armour looks incredible, cant wait to see this finished, could this be your longest build? , keep the photos coming mate.

[Rolf[501st]]

Hahah yeah the speedy trooper is dead, i´m afraid

 

Now i´m a father, and on top of that a full time single dad to a boy at soon 18 month.

He´s my new big hobby in my life, and take most of my time.

 

But who knows, i might return to mr. speedy trooper together whit him, when he´s a bit older.

But i still get the suits done ... just not as fast as before.

 

I have just add the straps to the parts, so i´m all most there.

Just need to add the canvas belt to the belt, add the accurate strap system all over, snaps, glue, elastics, hooks, screws, wires

Then its time for the helmet, and final the dirty weathering job

 

New pics up real soon.

You're still far faster than I was. But then again, I had never built nor even seen a suit in real life before I started mine.

Copy that, after several suits, you get the routine.

Some projects i like to do fast, and thinks thats fun.

Some i like to take my time on, no stress, just chill and have a good time whit it.

I guess this one, is one my more relaxed projects

Hi bro´s.

 

The suit is done, well all most

I need to find some deeper snaps, for my belt to be add on.

And i need to get it dirty...

But there was a cool event today, just 5 minutes away from my apartment.

So i went there, even i join as the cleanest sandy ever

That looks perfect Rolf. Amazing build and what a sharp suit. I love it.

[TK-4510[501st]]

What do you think of the .040/1mm ABS?? Is it too thin for trooping???

[Rolf[501st]]

Thanks for the kind words bro´s, i really like this master suit too

 

It was fun to troop in the flex abs, and the parts just move whit me.

The 1mm abs is really strong, i got no cracks in the suit, and can bend the parts hard whit any cracking.

I even took a piss in it hahaha, i just open the side of it, and the parts flex to the side, real handy

 

I hope to get it dirty in a few days from now.

I have a few new pictures.

 

Enjoy

 

 

 

 

 

I have add the accurate strapping in the suit, i will take some better pics asap.

But heres one for now:

[SoloDallas]

I had NEVER been saving pictures of "fan made" armor to my computer.

Since TM 1mm came out, I have.

 

Been collecting trooper armor for ten years.

 

At 43, you judge what this means.

 

Terrific,

Thanks bro

 

Yeah its a great feeling, to troop whit this light and accurate suit.

 

I hope to get the suit dirty this week, if not next week for sure.

Here it just began to snow, so out door pics might have to wait to its away again.

 

I´m ok here, better each day.

I just got a better deal made, last time we was in a court meeting.

She still wanna meet me in the city court here, trying to take my son away from me, and destroy him, because she´s a mess.

But as i have won all cases over her so far, and been taken care of him since he got born 18 month ago, i´m pretty sure she is game over and done.

 

New pics up real soon

I love it, it super quick to trim.

I just used a few scissors, and a hobby knife.

I only used my dremel, on a few round lines.

 

New dirty pics up real soon, from the cold north Europe here

(not my kind of weather, as i´m a sandy to the bone, maybe i should move to spain bro, i see you got sun and 23 warm degrees)

Well, we're just off the African mainland so not too far from Mos Eisley!

[Rolf[501st]]

Hi bro´s.

I have worked a little on the helmet.

I have redone the placement of the face plate, last time i pull out the chin as long as i could.

But it made the side tubes a bit long, and helmet front a bit wide looking.

Here a few pics of how it looks now

[Rolf[501st]]

Heres few body armor shots

Leg hooks:

 

Arms/bicep hooks, cut out wrist:

[SW1]

How U going bro looking TM sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet mate

[Rolf[501st]]

Le legs:

(ammo belt dot on)

 

Love how they was made back then, just open 3 snaps, and you got it on.

Upper chest corner, kidney, crotch, and you are rock and roll.

The bells are add on quick on whit snaps too:

 

I love the veclcro are gone, and all the elastics are either snaps or glued one.

 

I will get this monster dirty real soon, but i guess i´m in no hurry for taken it out side for nice shots all suit up.

Check out this pics, taken out side my window:
