CommanderMeiloorun Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 (edited) This is so exciting seeing all of these builds come together! Since I'm starting a Captain Enoch build for my husband, I figured I'd post it here so that I could get assistance and also offer any assistance I can as we work to complete this costume and CRL. I really liked the layout of @Lidocaine build thread here, so forgive me, I stole it to be the format for mine as well. I'll come back and update and edit and fill in blank spots as I get those resources pinned down. Helmet: Resin printed by a friend of mine, he's actually looking to sell finished helmets and raw kits, I'll have him finish his listing and link it here . Edited to add hyperlink to kit. Neck Seal: It looks to be a R1 neck seal and undersuit but in a different color, so I may reach out to Jim and see if he's interested in making his undersuit/neck seal in this color for Enoch. Undersuit: see above Belt/Kama/Holster: The friend who printed the helmet for me is also a leatherworker, so we are going to work on the leather parts, I'm still searching for a source for soft parts. I've reached out to Sheev's Emporium and Geeky Pink's Phantastic Gaskets, but I've not heard back from either so far. If that changes, I'll edit this to reflect that, or a friend and I will be working to try and recreate it ourselves. Chest/Back: Since the consensus is that these are custom, I'm going to be printing Galactic Armory's Captain Enoch armor 3d print files Arms/Legs/Abd: I'm getting the rest of this armor from Jim Tripon Gloves: I saw it mentioned that these also might just be recolored R1TK gloves, if this ends up being the case I'll add this to the list of soft parts to see if I can get made. Handguards: Thinking that they are the same as the R1 suits, just with the custom coloring. Included with the 850 armor. Boots: Just going to order a pair from Crowprops or KeepTrooping, anyone have any thoughts/preferences on either? Blaster: One of the threads I've read mentioned this blaster , any thoughts on if this is indeed the correct one? If so I will order this one. Both myself and my husband are absolute perfectionists, so I want to build this correctly, which is why I'm documenting it here and on my IG, I want to be able to correct course as I work to make this perfect, and I absolutely welcome your feedback as I build this. Now to go make a build thread for my Night Trooper build since I'll be doing these simultaneously.

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Looking forward to seeing the progress, good luck. One thing to look out for is the chest being a lot larger and lower around the neck compared to the ROTK (night trooper) chest.

splinter[501st] Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Be very careful with Sheev's Emporium. He is very happy to communicate whilst closing an order and taking your money. But goes into hiding when you need to chase up an order. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm going to just print it myself along with the back plate. GA has a decent file, and I'm going to use Armorsmith to scale it to my husband's proportions and make it look correct on him. That's going to be one of my tougher tasks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Also to note, if you are printing your armour, and need to scale it up, the Ab plate posses a problem. The main and side button plates will also scale up, placing them out of proportion with reference material and ABS and Fibre glass R1 kits available. I think the best options will be to speak with the file creators and ask if they can indeed make those details separate print files, so the size remains the same, and they are simply attached to the Ab plate. The couple we have seen are noticeable, so this would be a good option to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
