New Shocktrooper

I just finished. I you notice the left knee strap is missing it is due to it tearing off after standing up and I am waiting for my speakers to come back for the helmet too.

Armor: IDS
Hemlet: Everyones Favorite Fan-made, v.2
Undersuit: Under Armor Cold Gear
Gloves: Under Armor Cold Gear
Boots: C-DUb's Rebok Realst Tutorial.
Blaster: I forget, I got it here.
Straps: Thermals Rubber straps.

Construction:

Mostly standard methods, with the exception fo the knees and shoulders. The knees are magneticaly attached to magnets embeded into volleyball kneepads (worn under the UA). The shoulders also are magneticaly attached, one magnet on the bell and one on a shoulderpad under the UA. For the paint, the chest, and shoulders had black paitned under the red (thanks Clonepete). On the belt a two tone paint job was used, Banner red is the mail color and Cherry red for the highlighted areas.

I still ahve a few things to tweek, the shins need padding (it hurt to walk) and I need to fix the biceps so they don't fall. IF you see anything I need to fix please let me know!

NIce Work!!!

That looks brilliant man! Nice work, I like the idea of the magnetic fixtures - it looks really tidy(I wonder how they'll do while trooping) and the paint job is great, really looks like you've seen a few battles. You should get some action shots in the snow too, it'd make a cool background for a photo.

man, that's soooo awesome!

great work

Always great to see another Shocktrooper. You did a great job with all the mods too!

Looks absolutely fabulous!!! The only thing that I can see is that your bucket is missing the aerators. Other than that.....it definitely rocks, bro!

The areators I sent of to a fellow clone, he is installing osme speakers into them.

CMAN, nice armor buddy!! By the way, you have a PM.

Nice!!! There's nothing more satisfying then putting on your new armor It makes all the hard work worth it...

Looks Awesome! I have been following your progress on clonetroopers.net and you have had some great ideas!

I have a ton of new pics, I went to a Anime Con up here in alaska and got he new outpost off to a new start. I also was in the constume contest, I felt a litte bad becuase none them stood a chance and I took first. Pics are uploading and will be posted soon!

Joe,

You look like a stud! Alaska has great weather for trooping in hot-a** clone gear I am sure. Where are your aerators?!? HAHA!

Later Brother,

John

Here is the link to the pics, and one of the Outpost.

Senshi-Con Pic's

Looks great!!
The UA on the front and back don't seem screen-accurate, though.

A Tusken in the snow? Blows my mind..........

Nice job on the armor!!!!!!! What kind of set up are you getting for inside your helmet??????

Just a simple pair of fans, speakers in the aerators and a ROM/FX to power it.

Nice Suit. I'm working on a set myself. What did you use as your boots?

The boots are converted Reebok Realist Hi-tops. C-Dub did it first and I just copied it, and added the paint. His tutorial is over in the clone boards. I am trying to find another pair of the shoes but they are getting real hard to find, some footlockers used to have them but most are out, at least of my size anyway (13's).

Nice armor, wish I had some skills to make some armor.

looking sweet.
