Airborne Trooper

My garrison is mostly in the western part of the state so I may do some troops with guys downstate. Maybe we can meet then.

Fantastic art work

I have the rest of the week off so hope to get it done and submitted. I have a Star Wars night hockey game on the 5th I want to troop at.

That seems a little too not picky IMO. I don't see anything that doesn't warrants not getting your basic approval. Maybe tone down some weathering or make the helmet and belt dirtier and add foam or wood in the pouches. Does your garrison have more than one GML?

This is awesome. The trooperbay videos are a bit rushed and missing a few steps. Will definitely help the large amount of TKs coming as soon as ANOVOS ships.

That's the same method I'm using. Just going back and giving it little more weathering. My GML wants me to get rid of a lot of white so I'm also trying to dull the white down with the cloth I used to rub off weathering and a little water. Then I'll go back and add the 3 color mix for the oil look just like he did in the tutorial. Fortunately, the "look sir, droids!" has quite a few SWAT level approvals to look at. From what I can tell, the majority of weathering is kinda open to interpretation except for distinct markings. I've seen some a lot dirtier than others. You're definitely on the right track. Hopefully one day we can troop together!

So much detail and work going into this. This needs to be displayed in a museum

I added you both. I forgot I can add people using the Smartglass app on my phone.

Guess there's not that many Xbox people here. I didn't get a chance to play this weekend. The wifey and I binge watched Jessica Jones alllllll day Saturday. Had to hang up Christmas lights, watch football, and do homework with whatever time I was left with.

No spoilers! Especially since you have a day plus time difference on us!

I got tickets for the 17th here in upstate NY at 9 the day they went out. Glad you were able to get them and some jackass didn't buy the whole theater out like the one picture floating around facebook.

Nice work! I'm still attacking my second pass per my GML's recommendations. Just hard to find the time with work, school, kids, and wife.

Echo sells split rivets as does trooperbay. I messed my first set up and tried my hardest to source them locally but no luck. Don't even bother going to Lowes because they will just look at you funny when you ask for them.

Remember you can notch out the bottom of the back of thighs and top of shins if you need to

Looking good!

Don't use the belt with the square indents.

Even if I was a beast at the game, I don't have the time to rank up that high to unlock those guns and jet packs this soon. 10 year olds are taking over Battlefield like they did CoD.

Sorry, I was on a work call and typing at the same time. Incoherent thoughts made its way to a post. Meant the belt needs to come up a bit and that your thighs could use some trimming off the top and the swooping section on the inner part by your thighs if it is rubbing the cod section.

Belt needs to come off the top and it probably wouldn't hurt to trim some off the top and around the cod. If it's comfortable as is, maybe leave the thighs alone.

Since there's already a thread for PSN, figured I'd start one for Xbox Live. My SN is Airborne Chiver. I haven't played a FPS since Modern Warfare 2 so I'm not very good lol. I've been playing Blast mode (team death match) and I'm lucky if I get more kills than deaths.

I just got this in the mail yesterday from drugstore.com. Didn't take long to sell out.

You are a fantastic artist. Do you do commissioned work? I'd like a spiffy sandtrooper signature block.

I find it funny that your GML wanted you to tone down and my GML wants me to increase my weathering. I would suggest bringing down some weathering from the bottom of your shin to the boot so it looks a bit more natural. Your boots look a little too clean.

I put velcro on the front top of my boots and on the inside of my shins. When I put them on, I line up the velcro and wrap it around my leg and then close it like normal.

UKG probably made master molds by now. I see lots of variances of E-11s.
