The Novatrooper Medic red has been identified as Kirsch Red from Sherwin Williams: SW6313. RGB Value: R-154 | G-70 | B-80. Pantone code: 696c.
this should help. It is from the CRL.

Appreciate it! And perfect timing as we actually have a garrison event today, so I'll be able to talk to my GML about everything.
Make sure that you match the CORRECT color “red” as stated in the CRL. As a GML currently, I always make sure colors match in text and not always pics. The current CRL pic is a darker red than it is supposed to be. My boyfriend saw the same thing and in certain lighting, the sherwin William’s Kirsh red is a more pink hue than the red pictured. I spent a good chunk of change just on the two cans of spray paint for the kit. About $80 or so.
Good luck with your build! ❤️

Here we go !
Just hope it won't explode like some other resin prints I made last years 😬 (I printed these pieces with the hollow option and a few well placed drain holes 🤞)
Looking awesome! I love the look of everything so far.

I have recently come across a rubber CA glue that I have used and found out that it can be flattened. You might be able to push the edge of each piece of the cowl together and back it with either a thin strip of extra cowl material and use something to hold them together while the glue dries, then use a rubber like paint to cover up the seam. It might take time and a few tires on scrap pieces to get the exact look, but it might work out for you. I hope that this helps out. Keep up the amazing work! ❤️ This kit is on my long list of ones I want to make myself.

The weather won't let me make any step further for now and i'll be on a break for a week. But !
I received this in the mail today
I know the feeling! It has been raining constantly here on and off so it is making it hard to get layers of paint down. Keep up the great work!

Looking great! I was looking at the vinyl and there is a type of stretchable vinyl that I can’t remember the name of that I have used in the past helping out a friend with making a full leather looking tunic, but this tunic (for medieval times) had layers to it. We took sone foam and cut the shapes we wanted underneath and then stretched it and slowly glued down the parts we wanted to stay. It might work for the mouth piece but then I think you would want it to transition it to the more sturdy vinyl. You could possibly but up the sturdy type to the greblie you made and cover both with the stretchable and thin type. Not sure if it would work though.

Yeah, sadly unofficial so no use for a potential CRL, but those are some fine models and I need them very soon for my Legion army!
I couldn’t agree more! They look awesome! I plan on getting a few. Lol.

You got this bro! Even mistakes are progress because it means we are learning. I can’t wait to see more! It looks awesome and I think I will be building one of these in the future myself. ❤️

I was looking at this site and also saw that there were a cold weather version and a swamp version too?

So I know this might not even be fully close to approval on variations, but these are based on the troopers for the game. Some have some very interesting add ons to them, but mostly stick to the basic design.

Great to hear of another TX build. And Nova Medic too. 😃
However, the image url is not working on my side
Lol I am just seeing that now too……I will have to figure that out. It is saying I have used all of my attachment space or something.
I told him that it isn’t exactly red and he thought it was, but he still likes it which is good. He loved contrasting colors.

Looks awesome! Keep up the amazing work! I recently got this helmet to hone fully one day make this kit as well. I have always told all of the local snowies here that the only way they would get me into a kit is if it were for Spec Ops…..and so this is close enough. I also love anything with a flamethrower! I look forward to seeing this !

You should totally get a lot of sanding with extra hands to help! Lol.

So……I honestly don’t know if my boyfriend has signed up fully or made his own build thread on here, but we are making a lot of progress on different kits lately. He is wanting to make a Novatrooper medic. For Christmas I was able to buy him a few cans of the exact paint color for the “red” that that have in spray paint form. That, just to even start a production of the paint was up there. We are converting a normal white TK that I was able to get for shipping only. We are all done with the strapping and forming to him for the most part, so ignore the gap on his back. Next this weekend we hope to finish his arms and legs.
Then all the painting!
He loved it so far and when I told him about what I did, he wanted to join. I didn’t even tell him about Spec Ops before he chose to be one of us! 🥰 I will try to keep up a build thread for him.

Finally got Thingiverse to cooperate, that has been awful the last couple days.... Went through my latest files and updated the links above and added new links. This should have everything that I used in my build.
Totally rad bro!!! You are fantastic!

So here it is!
STILL found a couple things to fix, but that's all to make trooping easier. @IcyTrooper @nanotek I uploaded the Front and Back shots, take a look and let me know if you need me to retake them.
Looking fantastic bro!!!

Source on these two pics? I'm just wondering if I can get the originals in higher quality
These are from Ardeshir who was in the stormtrooper on the far right. He was in kit.

I would agree that these are not really clones, but usage of some similar parts.

We can look at getting that added pretty easily. But you say there are other things that require attention?
Just minor tweaks like having actual lights in the pack as a level two and so fourth. There are almost no secondary level requirements for this kit and I was going to see if Calvin and I can get them both to specialists standards. Rubber gaskets would be another level 2. Holes cut in certain areas. Things like that.

I found the full size pic one of my friends took when we did our test fit finally! I am the one on the right and @ForTheOrder18 is on the left! I think that we are so far the only garrison that will have two flames and I can’t wait to be the first woman in this armor!

Here is where I had painted the back of the helmet to match the screen used ones. At celebration, I was able to pick up and hardcore look after the Anovos (or whatever they are calling themselves these days) one and I hated it, but even they had the black stripe added to the bottom of the indent. The thing was waaaay heavy too and the cost was stupid insane. My helmet is SGB and IN MY OPINION and only my opinion (no one has to agree with me on this) is the closest I have seen with handmade being most accurate so far. I know others are out there that are right there as well, but I don’t know the makers or they were 3D printed or something.

So with my mention of the black line, I forgot to add the reference pics I was able to get.

WIP Novatrooper Medic
in Novatrooper
Posted
lol yeah honestly his looks great. The never ending battle we have with his though is when he scrapes against something. His kit is a Anovos TK that we got for waaaaaaaay cheap. I thought it would be a good idea to make a normal TK for him until he decided what he wanted to make as his favorite first kit so that he could get his feet wet in armor…….then I had to paint it black and add “red” *cough* (pink) stripes to it because he loves the red/black contrast. lol.
