My 2009 TrooperMaster ANH

Here are pictures of my 2009 TM with my Dan Laws helmet built and detailed by Rolf

Who wants to see some of the finer details?


I have glued on the shoulder straps




Painted the ab plate buttons, humbrol #14 french blue and humbrol #5 dark admiralty grey



And riveted the thigh ammo pack on the right leg

This was a new way for strapping arms to me. Notice all 3 parts are connected together. Also having the arms seperate from the rest of the armour makes it easer to get dressed and you can take off the main body suit and leave the arms on if you need to.

I am using 1 inch black elastic in a continual piece holding the bells and biceps and then on the inside of the elbow a 2 inch piece of black elastic holds up the forearms. 3/4 inch black elastic is glued to the bottom edge of the bell to keep them in place.

Nothing much to see here, its all pretty standard stuff. But i have used dungaree bib and brace style adjustable thingymajigs so that the ab plate and chest plate are adjustable. This is so that i can move the parts up or down for a nice snug fit.

The armour body



The finished belt, i used plastic weld to put the rivet covers on and the drop boxes are rivited to the 1 inch white elastic which is simply looped over the belt so they can freely move around



The legs with the sniper knee plate and ammo pack. The joining strips on the back of the calfs are 1 inch wide, where as the rest of the joining strips on the legs are 25mm

Some random pictures during the build.
