The Cartwrights

 Here is a little background info: 

I am building an authentic Stormtrooper Costume! This will be for trooping, conventions (someday hopefully), charity work and general fun!

Once I have assembled the armor and qualified for 501st status,  I will be modifiying this Stormtrooper (TK) into a "Sandtrooper (TD), or as I like to call them, Stormtrooper Commandos. My character will carry a rank of Commander.

He eventually meets and falls in love with a Mandalorian by the name of Dovana Fett (Jango Fett's grand-daughter). Dovana Fett ("Dove") is my wife's Mandalorian character. (She is building a costume as well. Pics will come soon). And because I also like the look of the Mandalorian costumes, I will probably eventually build a Mando costume for my character as well...So at some point in his story, he gives up being a Stormtrooper Commander to become a Mandalorian.

I need to come up with a name though.

Remember... this is the "Star Wars Universe". So it MUST sound Star Wars-ish.

I want my character's nickname to be "Hawk". This is also a MUST.

Here is what I am thinking....

My character was named after a great predatatory "bird" native to the planet Alderaan. (yeah the planet that got blown up in 'A New Hope' by the Death Star).  

So I am thinking something like:

Fehl'hawk    --- (sounds like: FELL HAWK)

Aeo-Hawk   --- (sounds like: A-Oh-HAWK)

Draehawk    --- (sounds like: DRAY HAWK)

Got something different or better? (even if its just a variation or alternate spelling of one of the above names) PLEASE let me know.

(Also, if my spelling of the above names doesnt sound like the pronounciation...let me know)

Here are assembled parts:

Wrist gauntlets, shins, & biceps

And here are the thighs in progress

My MR CE "Lid"
This needs some modification. Which I plan to do some of soon.
I will also be adding HYPERDYNE Delux Pro voice amp to sound like an actual Stormtrooper (with static bursts after you talk even!)

W.I.P. Pics of E-11 Blaster

It started out looking like this:

 After priming it grey, I painted it with aluminum.
This is my E-11 next to the holster I have for it.

Had troubles getting it to fit at first.

Here it is painted black

 And I'm working on making it fit into the holster now.

It ALSO has an extension that is not shown in the picture because it I took it apart for painting purposes. Will show soon.
