Me personally I would go for the darkest tint and thickest possible just to be certain On a side note, if you are ordering there, they also sell decals if you dont have them and might help consolidate some shipping. If you’re ordering decals just be sure that the sheen you order will contrast the armor sheen you will have. IE Gloss armor…get matte decals. Matte/Satin armor…get gloss decals (not sure if he lists gloss but you can email and request them).

This spot sells some though Im sure you could find cheaper on Amazon. https://trooperbay.com/product-category/lenses-eyewear/

I was going to say…the upper portion of the bund is basically a tube/wrap (rectangle pattern) that goes around your torso. If you are shooting for Level 2 standards, you just need to pay attention to the velcro size u use on the back. Then add the rib stitching. And thats about it. The cod pattern @furiosa provided in her thread and build of that to avoid the crotch bunching finishes off the piece with some velcro to attach to the main torso portion.

Boots…picked up my vinyl back then from Joann Fabrics. Sourced the actual boot from KMart but they dont exist anymore do they lol? WalMart used to have some decent ones on the cheap as well.

For sure…I guess what Im not understanding is why are requests even being made and why are they being considered. It was settled twice…and that’s assuming @nanotek didnt have to deal with it also. At what point does the LMO team say “Ok guys its been settled give it a rest” and follow what all other detachments are supposed to do when something like this has been settled and redirect your potential builders to the correct spot? Can it be requested that the LMO team address this w DLs? Every time someone makes a request doesnt mean it should go to a review if it’s already been reviewed and settled…and in this case multiple times. EDIT TL;DR: When the request was made why didnt the LMO team simply say “No this has been a decided issue” instead of going thru a review (again)?

Thanks Michael. I don’t understand the rehash when it was decided in 2019 (pre-dominantly by the BHG DL stating they didnt want everything just because it had a t-visor) and then re-decided in 2020 a 2nd time when she asked about the MW designation and Nathan decided (again) to continue the work here. Not to start a feud, but at that point the leadership should have been redirecting builders here…and if they didnt that’s not good. Revisiting for a third time seems excessive. and the fact it was entertained has me scratching my head.

Was my conversation where the BHG DL stated they did not want it shared w the LMOs when it was originally directed here?

I dont own one myself but assuming what’s said above is correct, it’s possible…the same way the Black Series TK helmet can pass for R1 style w all the necessary mods. If you’re shooting for specialist…just glancing at online pics, it looks like you might need to dremel out ear holes (cant tell if theyre open or not) as well as figure out how to swap the helmet bolts out.

Yea I def see em in the pack. Not as noticeable in the helmet but yea I suppose can still see some. My thought…if youre not fully happy with it…just bite the bullet and fix it. That’s my take after going thru the process on Cav (which youre familiar with)…theres some things I want to go back n do better (like the entire paint job) which is going to be a pain. Long story short…work it till you’re absolutely happy with it and no longer second guessing IMO.

Just died because the builder just moved on I suppose. Yea itd be great if someone picked it back up!

What exactly is the issue you’re having? Pics?

Close Pistol 2? DT-57 Pistol 1??? T-6 (minus the vent holes maybe?)

Anyone know what type of blasters these are? One looks like something I’ve seen Grievous with before…the other some shortened pistol version of an E-11. Any help identifying would be helpful. Thanks! PISTOL 1: PISTOL 2:

yea i agree

Not to divert from what youre working on too much….but are you sure the triangle isnt recessed?

If it helps, we did do some initial discussion on some parts hand plates and gauntlets and a little bit on the helmet here…but not much progress past that:

Wish I could help here man but I got nothin.

Welcome @SefriusseDM! Ditto to everything mentioned by @Dropkick regarding armor. This is our vetted scout parts list (thanks in large part to our biker friends over at Pathfinders)…no 3d printed files there however, though i know several standard bikers and shadows have been approved using 3d files will research some for ya. The bandolier boxes/greeblies, we have files for those here: EDIT: These are the 3 approvable files they list at Pathfinders: MrPoopie Jesus Salmeron (helmet) Christhepropguy I will check w my friend who got approved using 3d files as well

@ArkZeroPrice Welcome! (This is David btw from the Tampa recruits group) You’re in good hands w/ the folks here. As far as local Mudtroopers in our area…none that Im aware of. Almost certain you’d be the first in our squad…even neighboring Makaze. Closest ones I know are down in South Florida/Miami area.

looks good @javi sanchez out of curiosity, did you attempt the level 2 back connection of the bandolier like the updated crl?

Looking to source a bubble lens. My bucket is an ATA (sadly the maker passed away)…Trooper Bay currently doesnt make them. Just reached out to WTF. Any other suggestions on where to find one? Thanks!

Thats odd he doesnt have parts to sell. Id try WTF or Trooperbay next.

Is Scotland considered UK garrison?

That just makes it easier to spot u n pick u off ?

I dont think theres a “pro or con” persay unless your kit is pulled in black…in which case you wouldnt have to paint the armor. You would still need to paint the helmet and get it to match the armor as close to its original gloss as possible. Personally, I prefer the satin look. My suggestion (not a requirement) is to maybe look around your garrison/area and see what other Shadows are using…because those are the ones you would be trooping alongside and Imperial uniformity among a unit does have a better overall look typically. Anyways, hope that helps a bit.
