My True Love. ESB Stormtrooper WIP

[GCNgamer128]

You won't believe how hard it was to get this suit done, especially when FettPride is taunting us with gauntlets, helmets, and armour, haha.

I'm pumped Andy!!! I cant wait to see it finished I know I keep saying it, but it is gonna rock!

For the inside of the helmet, I coated it with Plasti-Dip *snip*

Exactly what I am thinking of doing with both the TE2 I just bought and with my TM when I get it.

Great start, Andy! Are you going to use a welder shield or acetate for the lenses? I'm torn between accuracy (acetate) and more practical and durable (shield)...

I bought what ever Smitty sells, haha. I bought Shade 3 and Shade 5, that way I can have them velcroed in, and switch them out depending on whether the event is inside or outside.

All done trimming the teeth and ears. The ears lay perfectly flush, I will paint the frown, vocoder, and ears when I get home Plus I need to lay the decals!

 

[CombatBaby]

so what you doing with that FX suit Andy..?

 

[GCNgamer128]

It will either be given to my friend Jen, or it will become the garrison's community suit.

Who is the maker of the leather neck seal, that thing is kick ***

 

[GCNgamer128]

Helmet is just about done! I just need to paint the frown, vocoder, ears, add pinstriping around the ears, install the lenses, and install the frown mesh. Then I'm all done with this majour piece of the puzzle which is the ESB Stormtrooper!!

Riveting on whitearmor.net. However, he will no longer be making them because they are too time consuming.

Nice ESB lid you have there Andy...
Thats what I'll be painting mine, is that Plasti-Dip an American product? I really like the effect it has.

 

[GCNgamer128]

Plasti-dip, I'm not sure if it's a strictly American product. Head over to your equivalent of Home Depot or Lowes, and check in their spraypaint aisle. There should be some spray product used to give a rubber coating to tools.

Nice lid mate.

The frown, ears, and vocoder have been painted. All that I need to do to the helmet now are to paint the stripes on the ears, install the lenses, and install the frown mesh. After this comes pics of the armour The armour is about 90% trimmed, I just need to first start learning to work with this modeling iron!!
