WIP: Super Trooper Fett Variant, Celebration V

Replicant Shadow

Active Hunter
After much thought over the last few days, I have decided to build the rare, all-white Super Trooper. Due to budgetary and, serious forth coming time constraints in 2010, I felt this pre-production Fett variant would be much more easier to accomplish than a full on ESB, at this time. I am also knee deep in my Sci-Fire Clone Trooper project, in addition to revamping my custom snow clone commander. I will ultimately build an ESB, as I have a stunning FettPride painted MSH-1 ESB helmet that I am dying to wear in public someday.

The first items that I will start with will be the Jet Pack and the helmet. The helmet will be the new Fettpride Premium. This revamped helmet is clean and sharp, as it’s a perfect base for the all-white, semi-gloss paint scheme inherent to this very first Fett prototype. I will be also going with MOW’s 09’ VII Jet Pack and possibly MOW’s gaunts, though I can’t recall if the Super Trooper requires a modified Pre-Pro I configuration or, Pre-Pro III.

Here are some images of the Super Trooper, including a link to the TDH Wiki, and a video that recently surfaced on www.starwars.com . I can’t wait to jump on this project!

This is going to be an awesome build. Will you post Pics? I will be going to CV, I hope I get to see your Supertrooper in person! Best of Luck!
 
I will be posting pics, as I finish each component, as opposed to a real time, step-by-step tutorial style WIP. It's too time consuming otherwise.

Look forward to seeing your progress, I love the white supertrooper and really enjoyed building up my Helmet in the white/silver colour scheme
 
@ Gilmore: Not sure. That's gonna be tough considering that no one makes those as a regular run. I am gonna pay out the nose I am sure for custom all white Boba Fett boots. I was thinking of maybe using a spray can shoe paint, but that might not work to well considering the darker gray, canvas type fabric. So, yeah custom I guess. Got to find someone to make them.

I saw your helmet build this morning Headless Hunter, over on the RPF. Looks nice and clean bud!

Hey thanks, yeah it was a fun build alright, the key is to get it ultra smooth, use Tamiya fine surface primer then wet sand it like never before! I finished with a coat of gloss varnish too, I could have wetsanded it more but my arms hurt
 
Just getting started on the same project myself:)
If you find someone to make the boots please let me know.
The gauntlets seem to be the same as the pre pro 1 set,with the triangular section metal tube on the underside of the left gauntlet.
BooBoo is currently working on a white ammo belt for me,that should be real sweet,but dose anyone know if the Super Trooper should have a white girth belt or not.The referance shots for the most part seam to not have one:confused.

Best of luck with the project

Nice one Gav,that should save me a few quid LOL.
Didn't think I could see one.But some of the close up shots made me think there might have been one of the padded nylon type girths that I always see in the shops,not the cord one we all know about
 
Yep, no girth belt. One less cost to worry about! I need to give BooBoo a buzz about maybe making me a white ammo belt as well, thanks for the tip Full Metal Fett :)

Thank you Eric! Nathan I decided to fore go the beach towel and the wimpy weaponary for an ESB cape with ESB weapons for conventions. I will though hunt down the towel and replicate the Super Trooper weapons at a later time, for a proper photoshoot. I may need to outsource the paint work on the Jet Pack if you are interested Nathan.

Think I'll give the beach towel a miss as far as trooping goes.:rolleyes Was thinking of a white cape with a black section in the middle,kind of like the ESB cape.

And what's wimpy about a "UZI 9MM";)
