IcyTrooper

Look at all that plastic, what a great sight! Let us know how the progress is going!

You know where we left off on this one? We still on the verbiage for the backpack?

It is really coming along! That chest piece looks like it is gonna be fun haha

Very nice!!

Totally heard you on that one, it adds up quickly but is so worth it in the end. ?

Haha no worries, I'd say you are on the right track! Getting ready to tackle the helmet?

Hey, David and welcome! The pictures are a little small but from what I can see the spacing of the parts and plates looks great!

Looking good from what I can see! Get that first troop under the belt and see how it feels and make any adjustments from there (if any). Good work!

Good to hear that it is good! That rubber E-11 looks legit. ?

Totally agree there, the GML is ultimately going to be the yes or no. Let us know! ?

Haha beginning to look like it is time to start the dance of the droid ?

?

Hey there! Can't wait for the project updates and pics!

Sent you a PM. I'm a nerd for CRL stuff, so I'd like to check it out.

I think it looks great! Should be fine. ?

From the looks of it I'd say that black is good on that helmet, because it does have that sheen. @Evilshadow @Blackwatch totally agree there, the weathering in my opinion is definitely better with the satin.

I just checked and the armor has to be gloss or semi-gloss, so I guess semi-gloss is going to be the closest to the matte.

^I concur with the matte, the only thing it'll show more of is fingerprint and oils but easier to get rid of than scratches. My gloss shadow stormtrooper looked beat to hell about after the 4th trooper ?

They have some interesting shoulder bells and knee guards haha...helmet looks fantastic!

That helmet bag looks awesome! I love the progress on this and seeing it come along. A lot more complex project then I'd ever dare to try to complete. I totally agree with the slow and steady method that you are aiming for, this is going to turn out great. ?

I have leather ones from Trooperbay which look pretty nice for my heavy weapons trooper. Another HWT in my squad has the canvas ones and it looks just as good. I think it'll all come down to which you like the best. His also has that little extra pouch off his and mine doesn't.

This is awesome!

Any more progress on this? ?

Yeah just ever so slightly a little bit at a time so you get the right contour. Will feel a lot better.

I'd definitely say that is sitting a bit better, you may want to curve on the insides a little bit just so that they aren't rubbing up against the cod piece so much. Here are a few pics to try and explain it: You can see it more on the white TK but you can somewhat see the curve around the cod piece on my shadow: Here it is with me (with pauldron) and a buddy: One of me that you may be able to see as well: Either way don't need to take off any more from top or bottom from what I see, since you have been able to move it up and bring it higher up so the pieces are above the knees.
