@nanotek is correct I do have Jim's kit. To be honest, I went to my local hardware store and bought a metal window screen repair kit, I think it was #20 size but can't be sure. I put the screen under the vents and then painted the silver weathering color. It turned out great. I did put a piece of black weed blocker fabric under the mesh before I installed @ukswrath's helmet audio sound system so that the speakers were not visible. Best of luck with your build, like @nanotek said above, there is a plethora of experience here and we are always happy to help.

Congratulations! Welcome to the Brotherhood.

Ernesto, there are already draft CRLs in progress. I recommend that you go thru them.

Hey Sal, If you are looking for a STL file for the trading card holder, I made one for my own personal use. I could send you just the plain box and belt clip files. Its fairly easy to customize and add your Legion ID and a logo. Keep in mind that with the Legion "Merchandising" rules, if you use any logos or designs from the Legion, Garrison, or it's Detachments, you should get approval before making it. But you can use a generic Imperial or FO cog and be OK.

Looks like they took the white display FOJT and painted it Sith Red .... LOL so if I paint my DT Red, I wonder if that will make it a Sith DT? Ohhhh what about the Magma Troopers? Distance second cousins?

How could I have forgotten about Denis?! Geez it must have been a long day at work. Yes The Armory Shop is another great source for your kit. He has some new filament designed for his 3D prints which looks to be just as durable as resins. I'm getting my Sith Trooper from him once he finally gets his "Sith" together!

Sean, so your the DT in the Carolina Garrison. I'm transferring in from the Pacific Outpost. I saw a DT in the CG's gallery and was like "YES" another DT! We just bought a house in Wake County and I'm overseas. Hopefully within the next 6 months or so I can finally get back to trooping. How many DTs are there in the CG?

I have Jim Tripon's kit , he is on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/jim.tripon Also you can get with Andrew over at The Plastic Arms Dealer - https://www.etsy.com/shop/PlasticArmsDealer Both are awesome fiberglass resin kits. Keep in mind that unfinished kits are less expensive than finished. Raw kits may seem daunting at first but they are actually fairly easy to assemble and finish. Key thing is to always take your time, measure twice/cut once, sand, sand, and sand again, and always triple any recommend cure times for any paint product. Best of luck we are here for advice if you have any issues or questions.

To be honest, the weight difference of a fiberglass resin type kit is not that much. I have Jim Tripon's kit and it's weight is negligible. I am a 5'9" 54 year old medium build man and I can troop in that thing for hours. I've even walked in several holiday parades for over 2 miles in it. The secret to weight distribution is to use a good strapping system so that the parts move with you securely. Most people think of fiberglass as a multi-layered heavy material. The fiberglass resin that people like Jim and Andy use in their kits today are lighter than you would think, easy to work with when building, have higher details, AND more durable than ABS. You should try and find someone near you that has a kit and see for your self. "Chaos" Chris Walker TX 96706 Death Trooper Shadowtrooper

Have you looked on his build group page? https://www.facebook.com/groups/212554895893880/

Plus $24.18 for shipping and handling!

Since I bought almost all the Montana Fire Red I could find, I'm sure there is a shortage now... LOL I suggest the color is "Montana Gold Fire Red" ? By the way I'm selling them at $23.63 a can ????

I have seen a lot of people throwing out what color they think the armor should be. I know that the armor was cast in the color for the screen used costumes. What we need is someone to do is take some paint samples and try and hold them up to the screen used suits if they show up in public again. Personally, I think that since the Shoretrooper's paints were Montana Gold brand, that maybe the MG "Fire Red" is almost spot on, but as with anything, the lighting can change tints.

Best of luck on your build. If you are already 6' bare foot, then you wont need the boot lifts. The Talib's heel gives you an inch already, then on average the helmet if fitted properly will give you another 2-2 1/2 inches. I tried lifts of an inch or so and they sucked! Standing for long troops doesn't help. Leave the stilettos to the ladies! ?

I think the boots were made out of red patent leather, if they were painted, there would be crease lines. Just my opinion based upon seeing a lot of other leather boots that were painted.

Well earned and Congratulations!

Yep, 15, saw some hand plates done by a maker "going to molding" for kits that had 12 or 13 recessed lines. ?

Looking great Nathan, looks like all your hard work has paid off! Best of luck with your submission photos!

Looking awesome Greg. He have you played the DT clips in Tony's sound system yet? If so and you have those TK clicks after each one let me know. I redid the sound files a while back without the clicks and forgot to send Tony the new files.

Now ya just need it in patent leather. I spit shined boots for 30 years. LOL

LMAO, oh yeah you do don't you! Sorry man, I'm getting old! After you put the decals on, a light misting of a matte or semi gloss (which ever matches your paint finish will help protect the decals and keep them from getting peeled off.

Shame my etsy shop is on vacation. I make and sell decal sets for the E11D and SE14R. I use Trooper Tronix fans, great product and excellent service.

Your build is looking spectacular! Nice work on the small details!

Look up Jim Tripon, (https://www.facebook.com/jim.tripon) he makes a fiberglass resin unfinished kit as well, unfinished I think I paid around $1500ish for helmet, armor, under-suit, belt with accessories, and the "specialist" pieces plus shipping. There are quite a few build threads by those of us who bought Jim's kit. Don't give up! You can do this!
