Hello everyone, greetings from Peru!! I recently began my journey to make a Rogue One Stormtrooper helmet. My main goal is to learn the art and techniques necessary to refine a 3D print into a 501st approved prop and eventually (who knows) a whole new armor for me. As I said in the title, the file comes from Galactic Armory (https://www.etsy.com/es/listing/1603252278/armadura-de-stormtrooper-de-rogue-one?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=galactic+armory+stormtrooper&ref=sr_gallery-1-5&dd=1&organic_search_click=1) This post can help him improve his 3d model with the feedback we will collect here. I also took some time going down the rabbit hole and learning the details of this helmet such as: differences between this new version and the originals, Nick Henderson's 3D file, etc. Here is my bibliography: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/44463-11b30b4%E2%80%99s-rotk-build/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/49466-tkmodder421s-nico-henderson-r1tk-helmet-build/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/48617-rogue-one-tk-vs-ot-tk-comparison/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/53406-modifying-the-nico-helmet/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/38187-rogue-one-stormtrooper-crl/ https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_rogue_one https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/39843-howto-make-black-series-r1-bucket-more-accurate/ The filament I used is PETG, it is stronger than PLA and heavier, this makes it perfect for heavy work. Here are some pictures : Compared to my Shadowtrooper helmet I continued with the build. I glued all the pieces together, applied automotive filler, sanded, and also applied Rust Oleum primer to see how things where going: (It has toilet paper in the holes, I don't want to spray on the black paint inside) Now is the part where I see what could be improved: From what I've seen in other posts, the vents on the sides are too small to be accurate(Reference from TKModder421: https://imgur.com/7Xnq8aa) That's why I carved each vent on the left side from the original 0.2cm wide to 0.3cm and the length from 1.5cm to 1.7cm: Still, I think I need to carve even more The square surrounding the cheek vents could have a smoother finish on the edges: (Reference from Parquette: https://imgur.com/ejFq1eD) Lastly, I think the square in the back could be larger and with rounded corners:(Reference from Parquette: https://imgur.com/DgL69B7) I'll continue sanding it and waiting for your feedback before painting it.

Looks good!!! I also have been thinking on which is more accurate. Enoch's helmet looks bulkier and wider than GA's model, you might be right in choosing Walsh3D. Can't wait to see your side by side comparison of the helmets.

Nice night trooper, Tom!! I really liked the gold details! I would like to help you in making the green glowing eyes. In one of my researchs I found this: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005001279137361.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.3.7eb4156fHCuXoY&algo_pvid=2d293b73-72f7-4ee4-a830-7260ca667141 I think this might be what you were looking for!

Excellent work! I would like to add that Galactic Armory has a pretty accurate Enoch 3D file too: https://www.etsy.com/es/listing/1577808923/casco-del-capitan-enoch-night-trooper?click_key=85102ed9c328171c580ee1b959d9ee259e6ad72c%3A1577808923&click_sum=97842526&ref=shop_home_active_3&crt=1&sts=1 Today they also upload a video about the assembly and painting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IGIiNtJSp4

Well that explains a lot, i thought it had to be symmetrical and it was a failed part. Yestard i used a dremel to cut the excess on the shin

Hi guys! sorry for the late reply. Ill try to get some pieces of wood for bending the plastic in the leg, thanks. On the other i have 2 questions here : I have this problem in the arm, im not sure i should cut both pieces to make them "leveled" And in the legs...

Thx for the advice, it took me a while until i discovered how to post images here.

Hi guys! im new in the forum. Last two months i have been using my weekends to assamble my shadowtrooper kit. At first it has been difficult to find help, here in my country, we were under lockdown and couldn get much help from the peruvian members at that time. Any way now i have made some advance: My problems started with two parts, one in the leg and another in the arm. First ill show you the arm This type of cut i dont have it the "good part". What should i do? just cut it? Then the leg, oh the leg. It was a huge problem, it wasnt correctly molded I use that white paint to reference how it should look, the i started using a heat pistol and trimming Im not sure if its to far damaged to be used... PS: Big thanks to this forum, without your help i couldnt have even started
