Hey guys, i am in the process of building a Shoretrooper kit from 850Armor works, i have the bucket already, i have never built a kit B4 so its a little daunting (i am actually cheating a bit by having it painted for me :Smile my goal is to have it approved by the 501st and join all you legends. hopefully this will be in about 8weeks time. So if any other Shoretrooper here can give me some advice, Sean from Townsville has been awesome.......one thing i am still trying to source is the right E-11 blaster,  companies i have contacted in the US will not post to Australia any tips?

Hi, I'm doing a build with 850 as well and cheating even more as they are pretty much throwing it all together including paint and weathering... as for the blaster, I ordered an E22 through Procoprint3d (on FB). He's in Belgium, but will ship here...

Awesome thanks friend, what about boots? only thing i have left (other than blasters) i got gloves the other day.

How cool is 850, i looked around for a while and was going to go with Backstage then came across Kevin , seen pic's of his kits and blew me away, a little more $$$ than expected but it think its worth it.

hopefully we can met one, when you get yours?

Also does the Shoretrooper have an E-11 or E-22 ? or can you have either ?

What size boots are you?

I should get mine soon, it should ship before the weekend...

You don't need a weapon to get approved. I've seen people with an E11 and the E22. I think the E22 is more accurate to the movie... it's certainly what my Hot Toys figurine has...

I've posted images of the progress from 850 in a build thread if you're interested.

I bought my boots through Imperial Boots, they will be taking orders from 1 - 10 July and you usually get them within the month.

Yes, all fixed... certainly getting excited about the arrival. Kevin was going to post some more pics tomorrow with shots of the finished product on a mannequin. I'll post them in the thread.
Christopher at Procoprint3d just informed me that he's working on 9 E-22s this week... one of them is mine, so hopefully I'll be complete before the end of next month [Image: f7bca241b1e8bbcb98205e9d51859ba0.jpg]

How are these getting in to the country? Has he had any custom issues?

He's shipping mine and I don't expect any issues. I have applied for an import license with QPOL, so if it hits customs and gets seized, then I should be covered.

The page should have contact details if you want to call them. I submitted a hardcopy version as I found it to be easier to fill in...
