Pehaps this should be updated. The hip section do seem to have ribs.

Yeah for sure :) if it were me I’d be tempted to make the edge a bit sharper, reason beeing that the general thing with the new era suits are the sharper overall look. Could also just be the difference from the handsculpted OT suits VS ”computer-made” new suits. Meaning maybe it wasn’t intentional, just a biproduct of better production tools. Either way, looking forward to see more pulls

I see what you mean and it do look a bit like that on celebration suit. Some suits seem to be a bit sharper and some don’t, angles play apart to I’m sure. This particular one look almost spot on to what you have.

#leg-day :) Just testing for size, the tweeking continues. For anyone thinking something looks off, the ridges (topp shin/lower thigh) are separate pieces.

Biceps looks like a great sharp pull, the bells look a bit soft at the bottom? Either way is really great work going from concept/renders to actuall vacu-pulls (Wish I could do what you do :))

Added gold, same as with the helmet this is just a start and more gold will be added but it’s a start. Same with the ribbons, just trying things out.

Looking at the backplate I think the trapezoids should be closer to the Oll box. And possibly a bit more angled.

Mayby just a tad…a bit hard to see….the top one looks bigger or it’s just the angle of the photo?

This is were the fun begins!

Was going back and forth on what type of strapping to use, snaps, magnets, quick release buckles and what not…ended up using velcro and webbing. Easy and adjustable. I needed some more velcro- surface under the back and chest so glued in some plastic tabs before adding the velcro. left a little room to pull the flexible shoulderstraps through. I’ll glue the straps in permanently in the back but just slide them in the chest tabs so no gap here. velcro added. Lower velcro is for the black chest/back connection. Cut down the pipe on the TD, much better. lower right is new size. Decided to give ”beefing up” the side walls on the shoulders a go. It was alot more work than I thought and not sure it will make a difference when worn…well..atleast I know it’s done

Arms done except I have to wait for the coverstrips to be printed. I shaped the forearms with a heatgun as the ROTK ones appear to be more rounded rather than the oval shape of the OT.

There’s no such thing as to many magnets or clampsI’m welding these together with ”abs-milk”.

Put the TD together and decided to have the end caps removable for no real reason really..put some tape on the ends for a preasure fit. God thing because I think I will cut the pipe a bit shorter. Glued on the other parts and after some back and forth decided to use magnets to mount it on the belt. I didn’t take a photo but the inside of the mount got filled with magnets I had on hand and then tried it out. It had a good strong hold but wanted to ad some more stability and minimize the risk of it sliding off. Decided to use chicago screw post so taped the magnets to the belt and put the TD on and drilled through the belt and into the TD. Seem to work fine but if it’s not holding up during troops I can just use screws to attach. It’s just tape at the moment but I will carefully lift the tape (obviosly remove the posts first)from one end put some glue on the magnets and posts and then just put the tape with magnets back on the belt. Easy peasy:)

Got the biceps trimmed to size and sanded smooth. Next up was to cut the shoulder bells and I used the biceps to gague the size. Looking at refrences it appears that they sort of overlapp the coverstrips. Started to allign the ridges and checked were to cut. Using some scrap as a make shift coverstrip. And cut, same procedur for the other bell. maaaayby cut it a tad short, I’ll see how it looks when worn. Not a big deal as I was thinking of printing the bells to get the right thickness on the ”walls”….I could build it up with some strips of plastic and abs-paste so I’ll have a think about it first….anyway…parts ready for putting together. Apart from mentioned bells and biceps I trimmed the parts for the TD and painted the tube grey.

Nope

Made a rear zipper-closure and tried a few things on #diaper-trooper Shoulders aren’t trimmed to size yet. Aaron of Galactic Armory made quick work on the shoulderbridges so they are already on the way.

Haha building the KB props TFA kit made me fearless about cutting plastic The Anovos kit on the other hand was an absolute dream to build.....when it eventually did arrive Also, pretty sure I know of atleast one more person that would have no problem cutting up that plastic

Tape them together and see if you can get your hand trough and if you can, just glue them shut Unless, you want to be able to take them apart….a simple way is to use velcro, 1inch on each piece and a 2inch to hold them closed. Now, depending on how the are constructed it can be a little wobbly if there’s no lip. You can in that case ad a little lip with some abs. Doesn’t need to be the full lenght, just something to stop them shifting.

Got some work done, finished sanding the chest, cod, posterior, knee ammobelt, shoulders (not trimmed to size yet), handplates, backplate and forearms that are trimmed to size. Cut the slots for the shoulderstraps on the chest and back. Glued the trapezoids and the frame on the backplate using the abs-glue, worked a treat. Also added the hole/indent, just a hole at the moment, also glued some extra plastic behind as it seemed deeper than 1.5mm. not sure to leave it as is or glue black or white plastic on the inside. Almost forgot, glued the ad/kidney together and painted the black strip.

Should be fine

Got my hands on a plastic kit that’s been sitting in a box for years apparantly, seller said it was HSP (headshotprops). There were parts gone missing over the years, basicly all the resin parts and going by info at hand HSP seem to have gone dark. But…that matters not thanks to Troopers that have uploaded 3d files here and on thingiverse.Also, ordered some flexible shoulderstraps from GA (galactic armory), apparently not just offering printed stuff these days. Undersuit will most likely be from keep trooping (KT) haven’t decided if I care about the ribbing (probably end up caring) and just use a regular undersuit. Gloves not sure either, KT or Endor finders (EF). Depends on this and that…anywho….did some rough trimning and couldn’t resist a mock-up with some fabric…quite like it Using the scraps to make some abs-glue. Some acetone and a bottle more often used for dressing and I should have some in a day or two.

Added gold and grime (not overdoing it though) to the helmet, pretty happy with it and it made it into a display with Enoch during Summer Comic Con in Stockholm this weekend. However, this won’t be my main Trooping helmet as I bought Nico files and subsequenty was blessed with @TKModder421’s updated files. Really looking forward getting that printed.

I’ve been looking at your excellent modifications and just bought the Nico files and would very much appreciate a copy of said files Sending proof of purchase in pm.

PewPewCraft has That’s the file I’m using.

It’s good but as we can see in my post above, it’s not correct if you compare to the screen used helmets. They have 9 teeth with 10 cut outs. An update on the files should be in order, if the ”gold-standard” label are to be intact The helmet I’m using have 9 teeth and 10 cut outs (PewPewCraft file) Still, those files aren’t exactly like the screen used either, so no gold-standard for PPC And just want to say, I could never ever create anything to be printed or vaccuformed so not dizzing anyones skill. Just comparing to screen used helmets.
