I needed another project like I need a hole in my head! But I sold off my ShoreTrooper and decided ita time for something clean and pristine. I'm very happy the new FOTK in TLJ has a better bucket that is more true to its origin and I ordered a lid from BSP and I am very impressed at its quality and lightness. Compredto my shoretrooper bucket this thing will not give me a headache after wearing for a long time i was reading the CRL and it states the frown has to have black mesh behind it. So I guess I have to cut them out and use the mesh that's available? Im also going to be different when it comes to painting. I'm hoping to use the same brand of paint I used for my ShoreTrooper, Montana Gold. It's amazing the quality you get when you stop using krylon or rustoleum grade crap. I've got a can of black at home. Hopefully my test is successful and I can use these paints on my armor. They worked out beautifully on my shore. also, I uploaded these from my phone and they were fine on the mobile version of the forum but now on my laptop I see they are rotated.. thanks iphone...

Concept:

The craft store me were all out but had another brand of leather paint. I'm on the second coat and it's getting there. Fingers crossed! Thanks!

MAg well progress

Hay Daniel, Andrew or myself will be with you shortly

Congrats on your approvals trooper!

Congrats. Now get out there and spread that love for STAR WARS, trooper!

All the requirements are on the CRL: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_stunt For level two certification (if applicable): Any gap between the abdomen and kidney armor is no more than 1/2" (12.5mm) wide. Any shims used to achieve this effect are of a similar material and color as the abdomen and kidney armor. Shims fit flush and seams are allowed. For level three certification (if applicable): Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor. A single visible seam line is present.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. Thanks for the reference pic. Mine was from a bit further away, so it was harder to tell.

Glad you like it mate [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

The best paint to use is the Angelus Leather.

Wow, you guys are really, really making it tough on the judges. These designs are phenomenal.

lol

One more.

Got some more work done last night focusing on the FO Belt. Large Pouch - Added Velcro Then affixed the Cover Adhered the mounting to the rear of the other ammo pouches Belt - Punched holes in each of the layers Using Loctite 60sec, affixed the layers and clamped while they dry Made it all the way around and completed the overlap of the outer layer onto the buckle

Although not related to the blaster topic, I wanted to share this! I'm very proud to be a member of the 501st Legion, just recently!!! TK-83607 reports to duty!

Did my first major test fit and I'm absolutely giddy!!

Looks like MIMIC ran into some issues with the shoulder bells and some personal issues that are taxing them. This is probably gonna be on hold for awhile. Price I pay for not wanting to paint and all that. On another note follow me same screen name on Jolly Roger Squad. I just ordered a First Order Tie Pilot from KB and SGB. After I just got done saying how I don't want to paint. That probably wont get done before the movie comes out either. A bit disappointed but thankfully I have costumes still so can troop at all the events leading up in my shoretrooper.
