47.94% of those are made up on the spot.

which was likely the case.

This George-Approved Sandtrooper is 100% awesome:

(Be nice, Freakazoids, that's the mother of my children. )

Nice, he must work out. Very cool...armor. Carl.

BTW.

The Marmit armor are suit for the less articulate "build-up" body include in the product. By changing to other slimmer 12" body, it would look like wearing an over-size suit.

Ummmm . . . Not True at all. I've been converting Marmit Trooper kits for several years now. I've been using more poseable/slimmer bodies from Dragon, DID, etc. Others have been able to use bodies from various companies to replace the stock Marmit one as well.

Proof:

These were made using bodies/figures from Dragon

These pics show that the scale is comparable to Sideshow's Figures

I used a DID figure for this conversion:

 

[IrishJedi]

Those are awesome work, TK0083!

Always loved the Marmits. Hope the Sideshows turn out that nice.

By the way, that's some SWEET looking armor you guys have!:chew

Here are some pics of one of mine. Still need to make adjustments before joining the 501st

Ahhh.. Sandies sure are popular in the 501'st. We have a few here in my Garrison.

Alas.. I'm too tall to be a Stormtrooper.

 

[Darth Madden]

Alas.. I'm too tall to be a Stormtrooper.

I think I am too fat.

 

[IrishJedi]

I think I am too fat.

That doesn't stop some people.

 

[Shalamar]

I think I am too fat.

The 501'st does not discriminate based on Body size...

 

[Roy Starkiller]

Nice work TK0083. I based on my experience by using Dragon early "Adam" body on my Marmit Strom and Sand 10 years ago. Then I changed body of HOT Toys for a more build-up 6 years ago. You sure have more experience then I am

Glad to see 501st members surfaced in this thread. The deployment standard for 501st MEPD has up-grade several times. Now, once get deployed means owning a movie accurate helmet, field backpack...etc. However, old deployed members of MEPD are still valid and are not affected by the latest up-grade standard. Not to mention that 501st don't have rules by forcing members by getting deployed. Its a choice by yourself of how good you want to achieve for your costume, same norm just like freaks here for 12" figure. TK0083 for example had well-proved his choice for 12" figure.

Its me in my armor. I am 6 feet 3 inches tall in armor (3 inches lift-up by boots) and I am "not fat". Yes, its a cruel fact that your body size will definitly affect movie accuracy in armor but as mentioned above, we the 501st, matter on higher goals and warm welcome those that consider "size doen't matter".

Below is my TD helmet modified from MR LE ANH helmet (Hero version but base on a Stunt mold)-

Here is another shot of the Sandtrooper. This is more than I have seen so far...This figure is baddddd-a#@!!!

 

[arnax161]

I wonder if SIDESHOW added green lenses? THAT WOULD BE SeWWWWEEEEETT!!! I can't tell from the image.

Hey Marc...um, Lord Vader I mean.

I personally like the white pauldron on this figure - too many oranges running around imo. I personally wear black at my 501st troops:

The bad thing is that we wont have this awesome figure in our hands till later in the year, maybe 3rd quarter (I hope I'm wrong and its sooner). I hate having to wait so long.
