While waiting for the glue to dry on the forearms, I started to work on the shoulder elastics. They were pulling out where the shoulders attach as seen below. I had the ends of the elastics triple folded over to hold the snaps but the mid section was just 1 layer. I tried redoing them with a 3 layer front to back elastic but it still pulled out and the reduced stretch gave me a trooper wedgie. Next I put some Velcro on the underside of the shoulder bridge and on the corresponding elastic portion and this seems to be working well.

A hearty hello from the south of Germany (Baden-Württemberg, not Bavaria ) I joined the 501st (German Garrison) at the beginning of the year. It all started with my TB and for a long time I was able to resist a second armor... What was meant to be a winter project was "unfortunately" completed in three weeks: My new TK ANH stunt. And last week I got my approval I am happy to be one of the white guys now. And: I am especially proud to be part of the 69th Fireteam (hot number ) and the Chaos Division together with my great friends (you will have heard of them ). Until then, I wish us all many great Troops, and maybe we'll see each other at some of them. Yours TB/TK-70815 (Floowbee)

Hey troopers, Welcome back for another update. But, before I do *** making the blaster heavier *** As this is a 3D printed model, it was feeling very light. More like a toy. To make it feel more “real”, I actually filled the scope with salt. Yes, salt. As this was easily available and cheap. I also drilled some holes in the body and filled parts with salt, so this prop now feels more weighty. I’m now almost finished with this blaster. After the previous update, I added a couple of light coats of Grey primer. As before, this was Halford’s brand: Based on the reference photos of the “promo trooper” SE-14R, I chose Gloss Black as the top coat. Although the lighting is not great, here’s pretty much where I’m up to. In the flesh, it’s looking really nice. It’s certainly more towards the gloss/satin look, which I like. I will weather it back a touch, but not to have the appearance of metal coming through. As I’ve said in this thread, I believe the Promo Trooper had a studio made prop, not a real modified Remix.

Greeting all Please all join me in congratulation TK61490 TheRascalKing (Justin) on achieving two awards in this last week.

Great photos. Yes the forum only allows a certain amount of images/size as you could understand the amount of members we have would clog the server with how many images could be here
