Mods, please have your costume defined using the following example template: SANDTROOPER A Sandtrooper must have the following: - White Sandtrooper (or modified Stormtrooper) armor, made in ABS, HIPS, or Fiberglass. - Black Gloves - Black undersuit, either one-piece or two piece. Non-textured material. Commonly used items include “UnderArmor” or “Starter” warm-up suits, or dance unitards. - White, ankle high, laceless, Stormtrooper boots. The boots are usually made from Leather, or Vinyl, with small U-shaped elastic sections on either side of the ankle, and an approx. 1” heel. - Desert Backpack, styled after the ANH sandtrooper packs. They are comprised of two main boxes, that are the approximate width of the backplate. The boxes are adorned with various smaller boxes, and canisters. - Dirt, accomplished by a number of painting techniques. Most common & accurate being a multi-layer treatment of either tempera, or matte acrylic paint, followed by one or more layers of fuller’s earth. Other methods include, but are not limited to; Spray paint & sanding (usually multi-layered), application of sand or actual dirt in place of “Fuller’s earth”. - Pauldron (Black, Orange, or White) Made from vinyl or leather. - Black Leather, Vinyl, or Canvas Ammunition Pouches (MP40, MP38, or similarly styled) Worn on the left shoulder, and also on the belt. - Flat rectangular detail, with smaller horizontally oriented rectangle centered on width, and towards the top of the larger rectangle, on abdominal plate. (On stormtroopers this is the “buttons & ridges” part) - Diamond Knee plate. Six sided (hexagon) mounted onto a five-sided “diamond” shape, with a point on the bottom. This plate is located on the wearer’s left knee, attached to the shin part of the armor. - Flat green helmet lenses, made from lighting gel material, or green welder’s mask face shield. - BFG. MG34 (DLT19), Lewis Gun (T21), or MG15 (unnamed in SW galaxy). These weapons may be scratch-built, resin cast, hyperfirm rubber cast, vaccum-formed, or real demilitarized guns. Approved Options (none listed) A Sandtrooper should have the following: (These are recommended, but not required) - No thermal detonator. - Canvas belt. - E11 blaster, scratch-built, resin cast, hyperfirm rubber cast, or modified toy blaster. - No “drop boxes” (small rectangular parts attached to stormtrooper’s belts, above the thigh) - No black lines in grey teardrops or vents of helmet. - No ribbed shoulder straps. (Sandtrooper chest and back are attached from within via soft straps, and do not have the plastic ribbed straps like stormtroopers) - Four “teeth” cut out on either side of helmet “frown”. A Sandtrooper may have the following: (These are optional. They are accepted, but not required) - Dewback Prod. The prod is a black pole, approx 96” long, with metal details at both ends. (Many opt for a shorter length, for logistical reasons) - “Dimpled” handbacks. Dimpled Handbacks are worn by several troops in ANH, and are approximately rectangular, and have a pattern of “pill-shaped” indentations. - Grey Pauldron. - E11 holster. (Sandtroopers did not use E11 holsters in ANH) - Macrobinoculars. Styled after those used in the Special Edition. The following costume modifications are encouraged: - Hinged cod piece. - ANH styled helmet. - Helmet CPU fans. - Voice amplifier and/or voice changer. - Black Hovi-Mix cast “tusks” I think two weeks is more than enough time to get these done and I'm personally embarrassed that we have NONE submitted, so please post the specs in your costume section so I can upchannel them to the LMO.
