Grumpy Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hey all, Long time reader, first time posting... I've been visiting the BSN site for a little while now. I received a set of KST armor as a gift and have been trying to finish it up. The armor was already completed. I just had to work on the soft parts like a cumberbund and the camo suit. Mr. Bungle has been a great help. He directed me to a tutorial on how to make a cumberbund. I believe it was by Lonescout. Excellent help. I made the riding patch at the same time I made the cumberbund, so I could dye them at the same time. I also used the pockets from my camo shirt to make the pouches on the thighs. Sewing them on was no fun. I dyed the pants (Before the riding patch) and the shirt as dark brown as I could. I'll try to post some pics. Any help would be appreciated. Everybody on these forums seems to be very helpful. I post any more pics as I progress. I also made a big freakin' gun just for fun. It weighs about 15 pounds. (PVC) It was my first gun, what did I know about weight. Anyway, I hope to become more involved. One thing I was wondering, why does the main 501st site call the KST a BARC? Thanks, Matt Well, I can't upload any pics. Not sure how. I'm kind of computer disfunctional. I do have these pics in my photobucket account. It's under the name Darth-Lindon, and then under the topic of Kashyyyk trooper progress. Sorry about the mess...Any help...? Comments? Corrections? Let me know.

Lonescout Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Welcome! It looks like you have Eldictators Armor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Eldictator make this? It's a nice paint job, too. My parents just told me that it came from Canada. It was the best birthday I had, so far.

mrbungle Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 hey welcome again to bsn. if the armor is vacformed then it is david "eldictator" armor and the helmet is a recast of pghfett's helmet. pghfett's stuff is made of fiberglass. recasting is bad. you post pictures by putting the photobucket link in the post. copy and paste the img code below the pic you are trying to upload. i think the 501st calls them CB.

Grumpy Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 Thanks for the info on my armor's history. The armor was made by David, Lonescout confirms that. The helmet is fiberglass, that's all I know. I don't want to bring up any things that happened in the past. I just want to get mine finished, go troopin' and have some fun. Hey, does anyone know if the KST ever wore a holster, or did they just carry their guns. What if they had a blaster and a rifle? Just thinking out loud? Thanks again! Still working on the pic post.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbungle Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 the KST's did not have a holster. they carried the dc-15 short or the dc 15 long. i believe. basicly assault and snipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 See if this works... http://s560.photobucket.com/albums/ss41/Da...nt=IMG_2542.jpg http://s560.photobucket.com/albums/ss41/Da...nt=IMG_2533.jpg http://s560.photobucket.com/albums/ss41/Da...nt=IMG_2531.jpg http://s560.photobucket.com/albums/ss41/Da...nt=IMG_2529.jpg http://s560.photobucket.com/albums/ss41/Da...nt=IMG_1773.jpg http://s560.photobucket.com/albums/ss41/Da...nt=IMG_1765.jpg The blaster is my attempt at repainting one of those blue and orange toy guns that I got at my local dept. store for $8.00. It still makes the blast noise after all the paint, but the trigger sticks a little. I hope this works this time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
