TBH, my intial belief is that I am going to use the same tone as the Shocktrooper I have, they look real similar. Having said that, it is still easier to wait until CRL is approved, and ask that model Trooper, what he or she used, and either use the same, or get a similar pantone overseas. I have at least 10-12 approvals doing it like that which is why I stated I was going to wait for CRL. I have also worked on a costume whilst CRL was being devoloped to only find, later on, that certain changes had been made last minute Kylo TROS was another disaster - so just being cautios at this point.

Hi Romain! TBH, the silver and satin black are only for those pieces, as I painted the silver, put the on, and painted the black. The rest will most likely be satin black, with brown woode handle gripa (like the T21 for example). The idea of this coloring comes from Marko's concept art for the 3D rendition, which looks great, and mixes some dark gray with black and some silver parts. As mentioned, I only painted these 2 pieces, awaiting CRL clearance first before I paint anything at all. The black is a simple Montana Hardcore satin black.

Hello there! Great work on those tubes Just printed: 220 dry sand - finish off with a 360 dry sand. First layer of Motip putty and 360 dry sand. If another layer is needed, I will then either use 360 again and then spray, or straight off a 500. I will normally finish with an 800 very slightly wet sand. This process has worked for me since I discovered Motip Spray Putty, I just learnt how to work with it. Maybe somebody else has a better process How is your costume coming along? I will check your updates.

Hey bud! Fully understand what you are pointing out, but I will stick to Marko's as I believe this will suffice for level 1. That image, whilst fully valid, makes absolutely no sense other than a mistake by the actor - you would never hold a flamethrower over the exhaust, plus those tubes, are where the ignition travels down to spark the gas, so I would expect them to be rigid as they are a continuation of the front exit tubes. In any case, once painted, unless you are holding it specifically at that point and not on the hand grip that is purposely built in, no one will notice whether it's flexible or rigid- thanks for the level of detail though, I hadn't noticed! The ones coming from the backpack are a pretty larger in diameter My proces hardly ever changes: 1. I sand down each piece. 2. I see how piece 1 connects to piece 2. 3. Motip spray putty and sand as many times as needed until smooth. 4. Glue it all together. 5. Prime in one piece. Please keep sharing any advice and observations you come across as it's a pretty challenging build at times!

Remnant Incinerator Trooper WIP
Yiyo replied to Nicker's topic in Anthology variant Incinerator and Artillery Build Threads
This sounds like a CRL is nearly finished or definitely well advanced. wink wink -
Hey Romain, of course! Marko is probably the best 3D designer I know, I am a patreon of his as well. I am printing the pins now, but it will be a simple ciano (super glue) job, and then a little putty to cover the joints. I will update as soon as I have all the backplate pieces printed, it is busy producing pieces for my T21B heavy blaster at the moment.
