Funkster’s 3D printed TLJ

Recommended Posts

Reposting this in the right section now.

 

Back in 2019 I was building a FOTS and was waiting for a backpack model.

 

I noticed the same designer had a TLJ set of files so decided to build two costumes at once.

 

Fast forward to today and I’m on the final stages of flatting and polishing the armour.

 

The pictures below will be slightly out of sequence but I’ll try and comment on certain parts

 

Armour - Akira-Yuming on CG Trader

Printed on my CR-10S

 

Lid - Tried building the 3D files but it’s proving very tricky. Bought a WTF which is going together better but not perfectly

 

Gaskets - Geeky Pink but I do have a set of Anovos rubber as well

 

Pouches / Pauldron - Trooper Bay

 

Gloves / Boots - IB

 

Belt - Belts of the First Order

Onto the WTF lid

Lots of excess be cut / sanded before you even get started.

Then some parts needed work to be able to fit as there was over lap.

Even after that I’m struggling to get the face/tears/lip to all line up

Have messaged Walt who suggested more sanding of the inside

However, when the tears are in the right place, the lip of the face wants to go under the brow.
Line up the brow and the rest leaves gaps.

Paint wise I’m lucky to have access to a spray booth so have been using 2k automotive paint.

White primer
Traffic white RAL 9016
Clear coat
Flattened and the machine polished

This should provide a hard wearing surface as well as ability to polish up

Blaster wise I’m using the files from 5th Horseman

Already a Heavy F-11, so am doing both the normal sized F-11 and the pistol

Amazing and excellent work Mark ! Congratulations.  :jc_doublethumbup:

 

Just noticed , If you're planning to use the same armor for TFA and TLJ Stormtrooper,  the forearms between them are slightly different.

Yeah I know the design has changed.

Annoyingly the designer changed the files a while after I printed/painted mine

Currently the TFA shape is allowable under the CRL but it will be something I upgrade in the future.

I’ve been following the CRL discussion thread for TLJ/RoS and noted a lot of the changes

what a huge effort, and its looking pretty good too.

I may have missed it but who is the resin helmet maker?
