Hello from Amsterdam

Post by Wasili »

Hi all,

Thanx for adding me to the forum. Like a few of you i was instantly in love with the new Ep 7 Snowtrooper. Posted in a thread on the RPF, and member Tubachris pointed me here.

And me...I'm a fulltime modelmaker, grew up with Star Wars in the late 70's (Empire being my first movie, and the ATAT driver my first action figure), and have been trying to have fun combining hobby and work. I started attending conventions a few years back, and will be at Fedcon Dusseldorf again this year in May, displaying some miniatures like last year.

I'm currently working on cad files for the NU Snowtrooper (see mic tips below, work in progress), and will machine and cast them once ready. Now doing the backpack and the helmet, although the backpack is a tad easier.

Hope to particpate here whenever i can.

Have a good one.

Cheers,
Wasili

We are SO GLAD to have you here. Please check out our new, extensive gallery of NU Snowtrooper pictures that were taken recently at Celebration: Anaheim. If you would be so kind to continue sharing your progress and pictures of the build, I know a lot of people will be interested!!!

Please add me to your order list for the mics for the new helmet, backpack / helmet when they are finished and available!

Hi guys,

Thanx for the warm welcome. Although i have build quite a number of pieces, i have to admit that costume pieces is somewhat new (and exciting, and challenging) for me. I will definitely have some questions for you, in due time.

First off my thanx for posting and compiling the photos of the Nu Snowtrooper costume, here on the forum.

I do have one question for now. Where do i post my build thread ? I do see the Nu Snowtrooper research threads, but maybe the builds go somewhere completely different ?

Sorry if it's a stupid question...

Thanx.

Cheers,
Wasili

Wasili,

I have opened a thread for your WIP and build in the the NU Snowtrooper section of the website. Since this is a brand new costume and we are trying to decipher and construct the armor and costume, this would be considered research and development -- which would benefit everyone.

By the way, those mics are INCREDIBLE!!!

Thx.

Btw, the RPF has posted some 50 shots of the Snowtrooper on their FB page. And about 90 of the Flametrooper. Very good pics. Me very happy. The more, the better.

Thank you for the heads up on those! They are quite nice too!

I'd definitely be down to discuss the possibilities of getting pieces made in the future if you're up for the task!
