Anybody have any trimming tips for the ears? Been following trooper bay videos and panda props videos for most part but those blasted ears always seem to be a pain

Armor is here slowly starting to cut when it's not super hot

Trooperbay stuff came in; holster; belt had to dye it black didnt see any option for black but easy fix and the cleaning gloves which I feel like I probably overpaid for. Ive been spoiled with much nicer gloves in my First Order kits

Does anyone have examples of different colored details. Trying to make this decision for myself as well. Kinda like getting close and see all the details you'd see on the tks

Boots have arrived; see pic were best I could find at decent price point should be ok for level 1 Trooperbay items shipped; ordered a white belt but planning to dye it black. Ordered the ESB style holster as well Fingers crossed kit is here soonish and I can start cutting away

I'm horrible at these posts but my armor shipped from Walt, finally getting a kit done that I can join spec ops with after chasing special rainbow unicorn kits for years. Still need to source all the things, belt, holster, and boots guess I have some reading to do or just bug Torri

just found this looking around for ideas for a spec ops build. Quick question is this going to be two variants an all white normal, and the red commander?

Posted in the sale section but figured I'd see if I could get away with posting here. Selling my First Order Flametrooper bucket unfinished. See my sale post for all the info. Trying to raise funds for Imperial Transport driver build

That dude is so hard headed. I don't get how he can't understand that Disney contracted Jsin and KB to built the armor and that hasn't happened and won't happen. Oh well chalk this up to another kit that will never happen in the 501st

https://www.dickblick.com/products/montana-gold-acrylic-professional-spray-paints/ 6.99 a can here; interested to see some samples. On my screen it looks orange for F 3000 But my colors on my screen may be different If someone is willing I'd sample ketchup G3040 and shock red S3000 The shock red should be pretty pure; I'm looking for a red for my mountain trooper shoulder bell as well so was hoping to see some experimenting from the siths. I may also be doing this bucket and maybe the sith jumptrooper down road so may see me chime in here and there

Question, is the blaster something I'll have to do to add to the CRL if I'm the only one making this costume, I know it normally listed under optional so wasn't sure if it needed to be created just to be under optional

Awesome to hear, I just got ahold of Darkside Closet yesterday and had a good conversation about the soft goods. I've noticed in my research that if you compare black series figures of the Hoover Tank Pilots Shoretrooper and AC ACT drivers you find a lot of similar items that give great clues towards thing like colors patterns textures etc. A lot of these things have already been written on CRLs and should just need carried over. Armor should be here by end of week I hope and I'll start grinding away. But yeah I'm at point where I'm going to do my best to make it as accurate as possible based on the references I have and worse comes to worse I'll be the only mountain trooper at Celebration 2020.

More ref pics

All I know is my GML said he reached out and no one had put any claim on it. There is box art on the figure itself but varies slightly from the actual figure. (Difference in forearms, and the art has a pouch) May just be one version has a kama and the other is a grunt like the shores. Nothing from comics or tv shows yet, but fingers crossed. Won't show up in movie. May still show up in park but this all I know: Disney or Florida Garrison was supposed to be ordering kits from KB and Jsin. In his words "i'm already in talks with WDW, for the opening, still not sure, they want to see a completed suit, we are the CRL we are the one's making it" So hence why I bought from Jsin and KB. Hoping to work out the finer details, make the Mouse go wow and hopefully they'll have the trooper in park on special occasions or maybe for opening of new ride.

is spec ops getting the white one, the red one or both?
