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

Welcome!!!

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!

Welcome to the Cold Side of the Empire Wasili!! Glad to have ya here! If there is anything we can do to help you just let us know. And yes, I'm in for a set of new armor too if you get it going!! To see the suit in person was AWESOME!!!!! If you have any questions about it shoot! I'll try to help ya out!

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

Hello Wasili! You can post up your WIP thread in the General Discussion thread. I believe that's where we've been sending people so everybody can watch your progress. That's going to be an exciting build for sure! And there are no stupid question other then those that are thought of and never asked! Please ask away and we'll help ya where we can!

Thanx very much Buttercup. Will start posting there within the next few days.

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!!!

Thanks Ken! I didn't think of putting it there! Makes sense Can't wait to see more!!

Oh wow. Thanx guys. Much appreciated...

Welcome!

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!

Thx Tubachris.

Btw, love your sig picture. There's something about Snowtroopers...

Oh, and i saw that Facebook member Kathy van Beuningen also posted some 50 or 60 shots of the Snowtrooper on her FB Gallery.
