Base type armor for Heavy Weapons Trooper?

[Engineering trooper[TK]]

I was wondering what the base armor (ANH, ESB, ROTJ) is for doing a Heavy Weapons trooper?<br><br>

Also, any ideas of where to get the extra gear such as back pack, etc?<br><br>

Thanks for any input!<br><br>

Trooperbay does the backpack and Pauldron. I found a sweet set of black leather ammo packs on eBay a few weeks ago for $50 from seller "angelababyrock". Only took a week from China.

ANH stunt is the base for a HWT.   Make sure to read the CRL closely, they have specific requirements for approval.

Trooperbay does the backpack for SANDTROOPER. The combat pack for HWT is different than TD. You can get your 12qt oil drip can on Amazon for roughly $20. The boxes can be found at Dollar Tree and Walmart in the Tupperware section. Photo box for the radio at Michaels or Jo Ann Fabrics. Large pvc and caps at Lowes/Home Depot. Radio dials for the radio are (2) Gatorade caps

And as for Armor type; you go according to the CRL. Mine happens to be ANH Stunt.

Mine base armor is also ANH, Jim.  The good thing about becoming a HWT is that you have the option to change back and forth between that and Stunt.  I simply made my drop boxes detachable.  There are a lot pack of great builds and info. on this link, http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/45-heavy-weapons-trooper/.  The ones I used were from Tony (ukswrath) and Templar 726.  For the main pack body I went with the oil pan from Bavarian Auto Sports, (see photo) because I liked the "bulk" of it, and it it really light from Charles' (Templar726) build.

If you need any help with finding accessories, like the ammo packs and such, or information in general, just PM me.

This is the link to the HWT CRL requirements:  http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_hwt   Pay no attention to the pack in the main photos, it needs to be changed.  Go by the one in the photos near the bottom
