Legacy fem trooper wip


Recommended Posts

Hi guys and girls I’m helping my daughter to join the 501st UK GARRISON and I got this armour off a fellow member of the ukg and it had some yellowing (quite a lot) to the armour so looked in to doing the options of sanding down painting, but I haven’t got a time, so I looked on the Internet and looked on the forums and found the Trooperbay do a trooper white Gloop to bring back your whiteness of your armour so I tested a piece on a shoulder bell to see how it went. I was quite happy with it. Then I done the whole armour and I’m very happy with it and so is my daughter will be 18years old in a few days so she will become a member of the UKG. So here is the out come a few people have said that the armour may/will go back to yellowing as it abs. I also purchased a lid from imperial surplus which came yesterday so I knocked it up. Still have to boots to sort out and the blaster but I just may know someone who does them if you know me you’re know hahaha

Hi Mark,

Thank you for sharing this here on FISD!

Sure looks shiny and white now, and best of luck for your daughter joining us in the 501st.

Make sure she joins in on our newly formed womens forum here called Vaders Valkyries, we would love to have her onboard.

A trick when using masking tape is to paint white first, that way if there is any bleed only white shows ;)

Noted TBH the bleeds were minimal

Good to here, some masking tapes have really picked up their game and are a lot easier to use, one I came across recently was Frog tape, not as much residue and easy to remove.

I would agree on FROGTAPE, I use it myself.

It has some glue tech or Paint Block as their patent states, that seals the edge so you don't get bleeds.

Yeah I’ve used the frog tape I found I had as many bleeds as I had with the standard masking tape I must admit the blue tape worked really well the only reason had big roll of this blue masking tape as I 3d printed a rogue one lid and used it to under lay the tube stripes;)
