Old Republic Trooper

Freely — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:54:34 GMT

So have you guys seen the Hope trailer for the new Old Republic game? I watched that video and fell in love w/ the Republic trooper armor. I plan to start a build, but i'm already working on some RC armor from skip, so it might have to wait for a while.

I'm kind of puzzling over how best to approach this build though. It's kind of difficult to find resource pics, as the only version of the armor appears solely in the trailer. Additionally, i'm not sure what method would be best for construction.

I suppose molds and vacuum forming would be the most accurate, but i don't know if i could replicate the thickness of the armor plates very well.

In any case, this is all contemplative at this point, as i'm just doing sketches right now, suck at drawing, and am currently stuck deciding where the chest armor goes lol

Suggestions/links would be appreciated, enjoy the trailer, if you haven't already :]

Oh ps, i decided to include a link to a RAR folder of source images/video i whipped up (mostly screencaptures), in case anybody wants them. I know you guys are mostly into Mando's and Clones haha

UPDATE:

So as of right now, i'm sketching things out so i don't have to squint or flip through screencaps for reference. I have most of the back sketched out and i've started on the limbs.

I foresee a few problems inherent to this project, a few of which i'm already encountering. Most of which are just situational and unavoidable since i'm working from 720-1080pi pics from about 4min of video haha.

As of 9-4-10
Working on building accurate references (sketches etc) and i'll (slowly) start the modeling process perhaps next week? I don't want to start until i've filled in all the blanks so to speak. As i don't have any sort of life-size manequin thing yet, i'll probably just model free hand, then scale up/down, or perhaps onto a gi-joe or something haha, then i'll start the full size ones when i finish those. Pics to come when i feel like it.

Also, lemme know if i'm doing this thread wrong or whatever, this is my first time documenting any such project.

FYI: Found pictures of screen used Boushh Helmet. Just thought I pass them on.

I found these two photos on some European Rebel Legion site. They are supposed to be shots of the screen used helmet. The purpose of the photos, according to the site, was to show the number 1138 printed on the side of the helmet. I'm not in to Boushh, but I thought I should put them in here.

Also, I never realized the wrap around part was leather, but apparently if these photos are accurate, then I guess it is.

WIP: MR CE Stormtrooper Helmet Rework

TD-4608 — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 23:32:13 GMT

I recently bought a used Master Replicas Stunt Helmet. I wanted to rework the entire helmet to be a bit more screen accurate as well as incorporate a better speaker and fan system. I know that everyone does TK's, but they are fun and this is my first attempt at doing trying to make one quite like this. Please feel free to comment and/or criticize. Thanks.

I almost forgot to take a picture before I started stripping the old paint. This is the MR CE completely taken apart in every way possible.

I wanted to take the Hasbro clone trooper mic system, (just the mic & speaker really since they are pretty good) and build it into the MR Hermet. Here is the Hasbro helmet after I pillaged the parts.

My kids are going to be mad!

I cut grooves where the cheek vents are. I am going to do this on both sides. My thought is to have a speaker on one cheek and a fan on the other. I ordered some more decals for the MR Helmet from TK-4510's site. I plan to reapply the decals and cut slits in them in order to hide any imperfections in my grooves. I used another set of those decals as my template to know where to cut the grooves.

The com system in the Hasbro Clone was salvaged only for the mic & speaker. I am going to replace the board with a Hyperdyne Labs Pro Trooper board (below)

Please feel free to make suggestions as well. This isn't a 501st purist project and it's more for fun than anything. I also have a set of fiberglass TK armor I'm thinking of tricking out to be a clone-stormtrooper hybrid, (somehow) so your input is welcome. Thanks for looking!

Hello all, sorry if this has been asked before. I'm new here.

I'm looking to buy a helmet kit but I wanted to find out if there's anyone out there that could paint it for me. I want the thing to be shiny and perfect.

I want to know how much would that run me.

Appreciate your time.

QUESTION: Trash Can Helmet?

SithDuelist — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 03:45:31 GMT

I was curious if it was possible to make trash can helmets :fettesb (Mando or Otherwise) similar to the way you would make a fiberglass one? or is that done differently? would it be possible to use a hot glue gun for the seams/joints? would it hold? or possibly rivet the pieces together using small 1"x1.5" strips of plastic or metal for the connecting piece to put the rivets in and then use epoxy to fill the small gap??? has anyone ever done this before?

the reason i can't use fiberglass resin or whatnot is because i don't know all that much about it, and am not sure i have the necessary tools for it. and i cant use sintra due to the fact that i don't live within 3 hours of any sintra/plastic supplier and even if i did i have no transportation.. but now Trash cans.. you can buy those almost everywhere and i have a walmart/kroger store within 15 minutes. anyways.. if anyone can hit me back and let me know. :thumbsup
