Hi everyone, I'm interested in doing a Flame Trooper build, and would like to get some info/ advice on where to get the armour + accessories. Any support would be greatly appreciated.

Finally decided to pack up for the night, haha, after 6hrs of sanding, and I'm still not finished. I went over the pieces with 40 grit sand paper, then went over again with 120 grit. I intend on going over them twice more, once with 240 grit, then finally 400 grit.

SE-14R is done, just need to go back over the little bits where the glue squeezed out.
Also, the little bit of metallic black/ gunmetal looking stuff on the trigger is graphite powder, which I used so that the trigger slides more smoothly.

Thought I should show all of you guys a picture of me in my under suit. [emoji16]
Little bit hard so see all the details, but I'll get some more full body pics taken soon.

On the 3/8/2017, so just yesterday, I received my pauldron from Trooperbay.[emoji2]
I am very impressed and pleased with the quality of this pauldron, and even though I still have a tone of work to do, I can already start to feel things coming together. [emoji16]

On the 30/7/2017 I started giving the SE-14R parts and the shoulder bells a couple of coats of primer.
At this stage, up until now, I have been quite pleased with how they have turned out, as I have had terrible experiences in the past, when I tried spray painting.
For those wondering, the primer that I am using is Rustoleum flat grey.

On the 20/7/2017 I received my MP40 pouch set.[emoji2]
I removed the small pouch, as the one that it was attached to had the loops for the strap positioned correctly.
But this resulted in the middle pouch missing one of the fastening loops on the front.
Also, the stitching was white, so I just went over it with a black sharpie.
Before (this is the other pouch):
After:
Lol, the light makes it still look a little white.

On the 17/7/2017 I did a test fit of all the SE-14R parts, with the scope, and I was really happy with how things were looking. [emoji4]

On the 16/7/2017 I started to glue the SE-14R parts together.
I was also, lucky enough to find the perfect spring, which is a 10mm diameter by 20mm spring, which I found out of an old broken nerf gun.[emoji1]

On the 8/7/2017, I had a little accident, where I shut the garage door on the little ammunition box for the SE-14R. 🤦â€â™‚ï¸

By this time, I had sanded armour and taken the eye piece out of the helmet. Sorry, I didn't get any photos of the rest of the armour.[emoji53]
