Seatrooper Invasion!

[gjustis]

Wanted to show off the new Seatrooper outfit.....we wanted something that screamed "Seatrooper.", but allowed for a change back to BS if needed (save a few part swaps)...

The outfit isn't yet complete, of course....there will be blue chasing lights in the chestplate, a bandolier w/ flippers, and a forearm dive knife. We just wanted to snap a few pics while we had the free time.

Please, let me know what ya'll think....

That's great.....love the water shots. I bet you scared the sh.t out of some fisherman....or the people in that boat you're climbing into.

 

[Luisiana Jones]

lol. great pics, looks awesome, love how that seatrooper looks. btw where do the hoses go? as Lynn asked

 

[gjustis]

Thanks for the compliments. The guys in the boat were actually camping down the shoreline, and came up for a closer look at the "stormtrooper" in the lake. :lol

The hoses actually run into the back of the helm itself.....I know it sounds funny, but actually looks fairly cool. I'll post a pic or two of the rear as soon as I can find my misplaced camera cord... :rolleyes

Hehe.. that is very cool looking. I can just imagine a bunch of seatroopers here in FL Great job.

Registered, tried to post....didn't work. Tried to PM, also didn't work. Apparently, I'm somewhat slow on the uptake.
I'm happy to post there, if I could only figure out how... :lol

Keep in mind, my outfit is (apparently) far enough from canon that some 501st folks claim it wouldn't be "officially recognized"..........blah.

I like it I guess cuz it can be either costume.. but I might have ran hoses from the back hump..

 

[gjustis]

I thought about it, but decided not to go that route....aside from the interchangability of the costumes, that would also force limited head mobility (since the helmet would essentially be "attached" to the backplate).

Didn't want to jerk my head around and have the hoses pop off all the time. :rolleyes
