  1. Well, it only took me two years to circle back to this build. I ordered a Hero helmet kit and grappling box kit from Troopermaster during the holidays, which will be here very soon. Until then, work resumes on the other stuff!

     

    Got Joseph’s all-new Hero hand guards, in matte white (which is a closer match to the film ones):

    I used plenty of E6000 to get them glued to rubber gloves (stunt gloves for reference):

  2. Several of the TFA updates carry over as freebies due to the way the templates are built, more reference now so may need to make some things that are currently shared separate.

     

     

    PS: Feel free to split off if needed:

     

    One topic JAFO and I discussed after TFA updates was the F-11 picture was incorrect, should have a black rear sight for regular and white rear sight for the scaled-up version.

     

    He sent me some photos but I need to get them off of FB and into here, will try and do so this next week.

    @kman I'm looking to ABS paste the seams in my thigh shims, but not sure if I should leave more room for the ABS paste to sit in, or less. I haven't worked with ABS paste before, and using the plastic from ANOVOS, would you say 1-2mm is too narrow? I'm just afraid of flex that would unseat the paste because there wasn't enough to either build adhesion to the crevice walls or enough paste to provide the flex. 

     

    Here's my planned material - I can trim the added material per recommendation.

    The paste is cosmetic - you will need additional ABS backing behind the entire patch or it would fail spectacularly.

     

    That said, smaller gaps will be less noticeable but in my experience anything thinner than a couple of mm makes it hard to get the paste in the gaps.

  4. I have nearly the same collection as you do Glen, have a few others and don't have the Riot Trooper coin though.

     

    I have all from this past year except the gold OT EIB, my gold EIB from the last run Wyatt did with the 3D dies (so shiny)... but I don't actually do all that much collecting, most have been gifted to me or were trades with Garrison members.
