StarTrooper

Visible seam eh? Could we maybe get a CRL for these guys?

Thank you so much for pointing that out, I wasn’t sure where to cut, so I just cut off a smidge of the edge. I will definitely look for that line

I actually quite like that Sith trooper turned tread speeder driver concept, looks very similar to the patrol troopers seen in Solo, probably just because of the black pants

Hey everyone! So after a little break I decided to get back to it! First off, I started printing off the F11D made by The5thHorseman. I must say that it looks incredible! More pieces on the way. Next I Dremeled out the chest opening. And taped the back, yoke, and chest together to see how it looks. Pretty nice, but I need to take the side edges off. It's pretty faint, but I have marked the cut lines in pencil. Work continues! Until next time

Hey everyone! I apologize for the confusion regarding the gaskets, I made a plan so I'm just going to stick to it! So, for now until someone makes rubber gaskets, I will use fabric to make my own. Here is the link. https://www.joann.com/cosplay-ribbed-pleather-fabric-black/16228017.html Also, work on the armor should resume, as I was traveling over the weekend.

Ooh! That’s a gorgeous photo! I’m glad these guys are canon, I just love red on stormtroopers

Thanks, I thought I saw some on IB, just gotta find them! I’ll definitely consider that as an option.

Ah ok. I’m going to keep doing research on the cloth material, and see what I can find.

For sure! I hope to eventually have an easy way for people to make gaskets rather inexpensively. Yep! I’ve been studying those photos a lot

Hey Nathan! The main differences from Stunt to Hero is primarily in the helmet. The teeth are different, as well as the Hero having bubble lenses and the Stunt having flat lenses. The differences from A New Hope to Empire Strikes Back are the frown is painted black for ESB, where as ANH is gray, as well as the holster being on the right for ESB instead of on the left which is ANH. Hope this helped!

I agree, especially on the forearms, still need to trim more off. I did just make a run to a fabric store, couldn’t find anything, although I’ve decided that cloth gaskets can come later, I’m going to look for rubber first.

Thanks, yeah I’ve seen some of the earlier kits, dodged a bullet with those 4 piece forearms

Thank you very much for the info, I will definitely check out those groups! Also, it appears that I will have to paint my kit, so I’m planning to use Rustoleum 2x gloss white. It’s cheap and I’ve heard looks pretty good.

Thank you guys for both for your inputs. I might be worried if I took off too much, and then the gaskets wouldn’t fit under the bicep. That being said, I might be going out to look for some gasket material today, so if there is some room still with the gasket on, I’ll adjust the bicep accordingly

Sorry, I realize my question was a bit vague, I didn't have time to take a picture earlier of what I meant. Would trimming this off fix the issue?

Do you mean cutting off more of the edge so that the pills are more centered?

Hey everyone! Happy New Year! And I also have some progress to report! First off, how is the bicep looking? I think it is almost ready for glueing. I also applied the velcro to the insides, as I plan to do the canon way with velcro instead of glueing. I also trimmed one of the spats, and it looks pretty good I think. Still need to sand and do the other side. And thats pretty much it. Until next time

Thank you guys. I guess I’ll have to plan for paint. Sweet! Another KB FOTK! For the undersuit, I plan to use the same as my ANH TK, black 2 piece compression garments. For the gaskets, I plan to make my own, but I haven’t really done much research on them. I’ll update on my findings once I find something.

I have a question: Are there ways to fill a seam in the armor without a full part repaint?

Hey everyone! Trimming has begun! I've decided to start with the arms first, so here they are! Forearms Still need to trim some more off the wrist to be able to fit my arm in there. Biceps Shoulders Untrimmed Trimmed Here are the resin parts as well. So much plastic already! And that's pretty much it. Until next time

Sorry to hear, I hope you make a speedy recovery and get better soon

Definitely. Speaking of CRL’s do you think we will get a CRL for you guys who were in the episode? Like a Mandalorian ANH armor CRL so to speak? Also, is it pretty cool to now own a screen used set of armor?

Wow! Incredible work! Very nice set of armor you have

Yeah, I'm very glad that everything is here too! Haha! Yeah, I'm glad I didn't make this my first build, it seems a bit more difficult. Thank you, I will be sure to ask plenty of questions!

Hey everyone! Something very exciting has just arrived early! The BBB! And here is a shot of the armor, all unpacked. The only things I'm missing is the helmet(which I am told will arrive later) and the TD tube. I will try to update as much as I can, but I will be quite busy leading up to New Years. Hopefully after that I will be able to work on it more and update accordingly. I will also post some closeups when I have more time. Until next time
